Request: Precompiled Win32 CF server

Eriwal · Post by **Eriwal** » Tue Sep 16, 2003 7:34 am

Hi,

I really want to run a localhost crossfire server but can't compile the CVS source (I don't have Visual C++).

I know there is one for download at http://www.theperlguru.com/crossfire/ but it doesn't work. I downloaded the zip and the crossfire32.exe file is corrupt within the zip archive. Even after trying to recover the file it didn't work.

Any help with a precompiled Windows server, or a Makefile for GNU C compiler, would be really appreciated!

Thanks,
Eriwal

Well, i successfully compiled the server under Windows, except that Python doesn't work...
So casino for instance will crash your server.
Also some things may be broken that i haven't detected.

I can try to compile the latest CVS, but lack space to host it, could someone provide it?

As for python, i know some ways to fix, though too lazy right now to do fix it...

Hmm, I thought Sourceforge had an file upload area. Either it has been (re)moved or I am mistaken.

How much disk space is required?

SF does have upload area, yeah....
But i'm not part of CF's development team, thus i don't have access to that area.

As for space, if only the server executable itself is required, around 1M (zipped, of course). If full server (with directories & such), obviously more...

Ryo, thanks for compiling the server for me!

I've setup a geocities Yahoo website to upload the files to. It's just a dud account for storing the files.

http://geocities.yahoo.com/
Username: win_crossfire
Password: crossfirewin32

The website has 15 MB of disk space. I'm not sure what files are required to run the server, but if there are a lot of them I can download them from the CVS. Mostly I need the windows binary since I can't compile it myself right now.

Thanks for this, being able to explore and learn on a localhost server will help me a lot. Right now I'm leaving my corpse all over the metalforge server because my client crashes every time I get into a serious fight!

I'll try to upload compiled server before the end of the week...
No promises, though, it may crash unexpectedly or have bugs

Thanks Ryo, any time you are able to do it is good for me.

I play on the metalforge CF server as "Eriwal" if you need to talk to me. Although it's growing increasingly frustrating due to the constant client crashes.

I would suggest contacting each other via email or private message on here to reset that password. I'm sure you don't want just -anyone- uploading content to that web area..

It doesn't matter if anyone uploads to it. It's only there for temporary usage for transfering the server file(s). Anyone can signup for a free geocities account in 1 minute, so it's not something other people would bother to use.

Ahh, famous last words.. usually spoken right before:

"Why is my Internet connection so slow?"

"What happened to all my disk space?"

"Hmm, I can't seem to login anymore.."

"Why did my ISP disable my account?"

"AUP - what about it?"
