+At_server_startstop module template
+
+Copy this module one level up, to gamesrc/conf/, name it what you
+will and use it as a template for your modifications.
+
+Then edit settings.AT_SERVER_STARTSTOP_MODULE to point to your new
+module.
+
+This module contains functions that are imported and called by the
+server whenever it changes its running status. At the point these
+functions are run, all applicable hooks on individual objects have
+already been executed. The main purpose of this is module is to have a
+safe place to initialize eventual custom modules that your game needs
+to start up or load.
+
+The module should define at least these global functions:
+
+at_server_start()
+at_server_stop()
+at_server_reload_start()
+at_server_reload_stop()
+at_server_cold_start()
+at_server_cold_stop()
