Hello everyone

I have a second sever account that I'm not using. So I came up with the idea of using it for games and such. Thats how I found out about cross-fire.

So I'm using a centos 5 operating system. I have the crossfire server running using /usr/games/crossfire/bin/crossfire-server

stnout:

Code: Select all

[paul@localhost ~]$ ./crossfire-server
Unable to open /var/log/crossfire/logfile as the logfile - will use stderr instead
[Error]   invalid smoothed face: sdefault.001
[Error]   invalid smoothed face: fog_S.111
[Error]   invalid smoothed face: grassmedium_S.111

I'm having troubles building the client so I'm using the client for window using xp.

The client says it cannot connect to my server. Is their a port?

I decides to go the subversion way but couldn't install it. Then noticed that I should be downloading the tags for the stable release.

Here's the output on the second command.

$ svn co https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/s ... ags/1.10.0 maps.svn
svn: URL 'https://crossfire.svn.sourceforge.net/s ... ags/1.10.0' doesn't exist

I suppose that isn't anything that I'm doing.

The server listens on port 13327. It should listen on all ipv4 addresses.

The client by default will use that same port.

If this is not all on the same subnet, possibility of firewalls being in the way and blocking that port is certainly a possibility.

OK then I have to open the port. I wasn't sure and didn't see any info on ports.
thanks.

Next I'll defenatey want this starting on its own. I'm using centos on a server located in Miami. I'm in Ottawa so its really remote.
