Official Front Row Crew Wesnoth Server

RymRym
edited April 2007 in Video Games
Since many of you have expressed a great interest in The Battle for Wesnoth, we decided it would be fun to have an official Wesnoth server for your enjoyment. This way, it should be much easier for everyone to plan and stage battles with one another. Just select Multiplayer, then Join Game. Enter

wesnoth.frontrowcrew.com

The server includes a lobby and chat area where you can create games, join games, and simply chat. Whoever creates a game gets to set all of the parameters. I'm sure you can figure it out.

Alex is the official ruler and maintainer of the server. He is also now a forum moderator. His word is law (insofar as the Wesnoth server is concerned).

Enjoy!

    I'll also note that, in the event of forum downtime, the lobby of the Wesnoth server is a serviceable chat area. ^_~

    I hope this is still alive after my exams when I have more time for games.

  • RailithRailith
    About what time do you guys get on the server?
  • AndrewAndrew
    I check in from time to time. If anyone wants to play tonight, say around 8 or 9 EST, I'm all game.

    Tonight at 8 p.m. EST: GN Fan Chat & Wesnoth fun.

    Here's the Skypecast link.

    P.S. I really suck at Wesnoth, so if you want to beat someone, here's your chance.

    Hey, it's not my fault that wireless network sucks ass. Well, I guess it is, because I don't really have an excuse for not having my own wireless network.

    I've been playing a game similar to this (albeit much simpler) called Dark Oberon. It's also open source, and comes with a map and data editor. The map editor I've never tried, but I have messed with the data editor to replace the BGM with some different music (you can use normal mp3s, wavs, midis, and others).
    The multi-player isn't as good as Wesnoth, but its a fun game to play.

    Dark Oberon is an RTS, Wesnoth is turn-based. Yes, they're both war games, but in terms of gameplay, they are nothing alike.
  • AndrewAndrew
    Skypecast is still up and we just started a new game if you want to come, watch, and chat.

    Oh, I've heard of that. It's a decent concept, but it looked to be in the early stages, before games get good...
    But yeah, nothing like this gem.

    Is there a way to connect to the server with the updated 1.2.4 client?

    Wait for the server to be upgraded to 1.2.4 or use 1.2.3. One problem of Wesnoth is that if the client and server versions aren't exactly identical, then it won't let you connect. I think they should really have some backwards compatibility modes to solve this problem. If someone with 1.5.0 connects to a server with 1.2.3, it should default to everyone using the lowest common denominator. Sadly, this isn't the case and you just have to suck it up.

    I see. It's not a big deal. I just assumed there was some kind of backward compatibility. And all I needed was to configure a file to let it do so. Guess not.
  • AlexAlex
    For the moment, at least, I have no plans to upgrade the server to 1.2.4, as I would prefer not to break compatibility with the many 1.2.3 clients in use by forum folks without . This may change in the future, but for the time being your best bet would be to download the older client.
