Once you have installed the server, you MUST download a map set.
|
| 23 |
Note: this server has been tested only with 'bigworld maps'.
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
You have three options for maps:
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
1) Grab one of the installers for either 'smallworld maps' or 'bigworld maps'.
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Launch it, point to where you installed Crossfire Server, install.
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
2) Grab map set from official SourceForge page.
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The following sets are available:
|
| 35 |
* big world maps, at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13833&package_id=15918
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Note: you need Winzip, ZipGenius, UltimateZip or equivalent to unzip the files.
|
| 38 |
Note: Make SURE that this tool will NOT convert Unix newline to Windows, else it will NOT work.
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Unzip the maps in the share/maps of where you installed Crossfire Server
|
| 41 |
(typically C:\Program Files\Crossfire Server)
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
3) Get maps from CVS
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
This ensures you always have the latest maps.
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
CVS instructions for Crossfire are located at
|
| 49 |
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=13833
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Fire you favorite CVS tool, and get either 'maps' or 'maps-bigworld'
|
| 52 |
module.
|
| 53 |
Make SURE, ABSOLUTELY SURE, that your tool will NOT convert Unix newline
|
| 54 |
to Windows newline. It will NOT work if conversion occurs.
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Move'em to share/maps of where you installed Crossfire Server.
|
| 57 |
(if you picked 'maps-bigworld', rename the directory to 'maps')
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
|
