Server Default Settings - Webtiles players read!

We've changed the default interface settings for servers (not for desktop versions) so now:

travel_delay = -1
explore_delay = -1
rest_delay = -1
show_travel_trail = true

The second-to-last setting (rest_delay) is a new setting that was also added so resting/healing now happens instantly (this only makes a difference in webtiles, since in console the stats area always updates, even while travelling with travel_delay = -1).

These settings will make online play better by default for webtiles users who are being particularly affected by lag. The game is much quicker and more fun to play without waiting for autoexplore/travel/rest. Additionally this should reduce overall server load which will hopefully be significant during the tournament!

Webtiles players should also be aware that there was recently a change to the way webtiles data packets are batched, this should also result in a significant speed gain for laggy connections (much less round trips are being made overall).

Please comment here if you have any issues or questions with the new settings.
