### <mark style="color:yellow;">Notes</mark>

* `*` does not always mean "use the server default." For `MDF`, `MDV1`, `MDV2`, and `MDV3` (Zen drops), setting `*` results in Zen **never dropping** on that map for that account level—it is not equivalent to "following `Common.dat`." To use the value from `Common.dat`, use the number `100`, not `*`.
* The `NPK` value of `2` (free combat, without becoming an Outlaw or gaining PK points) is not listed in the file's own header comments, but it exists and works—this has been confirmed in the GameServer code.
* `DTG` must point to an index that actually exists in `Gate.txt`.
