Now that we have sound working in the game again, maybe we could utilize the map music feature in order to have some in-game music.

I don't know if anyone had any ideas in mind for style; I could create some 8-bit music (once I double-check and make sure derivative works from FamiTracker are GPL ...

Wouldn't it be easier to load them at the start point for the map/dungeon?

Seems less brutal, too.

SourceForge has lost a lot of face in the open-source community in the last few years, from hijacking migrated projects to placing ads and grayware/malware in installers.
It has reached to the point where the local university has blocked SourceForge-hosted installers on their network. Some browser ...

As far as I can tell, partmedia's refactoring of the buy/sell code has rendered cha_shop_bonus obsolete.
I was working with the documentation, and had cha_shop_bonus handled in the handbook generation scripts, only to realize it wasn't being used.

In the first case (hash on client side), it ...

I've been learning how to develop apps for Android recently and a thought crossed my mind: would there be reasonable demand for an Android client for Crossfire?

I have been developing a design for what such a client would look like, and how it would work. Its in progress, but I feel this is one of ...

I was having some fun with a bootable Kali Linux USB I set up, and decided to Wireshark my local Crossfire session.

Incidentally, I discovered that the account login sends your account password in plain text over the network to be hashed on the server side. Depending on whether users recycle their ...

When trying to build Crossfire Client for Windows, I get a warning stating g_thread_new is undefined. With some research, I concluded the GTK 2.24.10 package provided on GTK's site uses GLib 2.28, when g_thread_new was added in GLib 2.32.

Can I safely update GLib to 2.32 or newer without completely ...
