CFPlus is the new Crossfire TRT (Crossfire compatible) client which -was written from scratch in Perl with C bindings to SDL/OpenGL. It was -written to have a more immersive overall gameplay and to base as ground -to implement new features. (And it's still mostly compatible with the -original Crossfire).

++ To start the client, run the executable, i.e. by doubleclicking on it with your left mouse button or + use the context menu of the right mouse button. + Note: The windows binary might take a while to start (up to some minutes), as it needs to unpack itself + and start up everything it needs. +
+GNU/Linux
++ + Please note that you need glibc-2.3 and x-libs with XFT. + (For amd64 you will need ia32-libs and a 32bit OpenGL driver, + eg. nvidia-glx-ia32 (for NVIDIA) or fglrx-glx-ia32 (for ATI)) + +
++ After downloading you need to extract the client and execute the extracted binary. +
+Mac OS X
+
+ To start the client, just double click on the .dmg image file to open it and start the client.
+ NOTE: You will need an Intel CPU for this binary, it will not work with PPC CPUs! Also you will need Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

+ 2008-12-26 The Chrismas release of version 2.02: Hidden mapspaces are
+ marked visually by a question mark and are made as bright as the darkest
+ mapspaces. A crash has been fixed when the user clicks on the map during
+ login. New tips of the day have been introduced. And more minor stability and
+ visual fixes.
+
+ + 2008-12-12 Version 2.01: The client tutorial has been rewritten, to match + the GUI changes of the last months. The random switching between + message window tabs when a new tab was opened has been fixed. + Fixed minor displaying bugs of the speech bubble of NPCs and other + minor things. + +
-After downloading you need to make the binary executable like this:
-chmod a+x cfplus-gnu-linux-x86.bin
-And start it like this (when cfplus-gnu-linux-x86.bin is in the current working directory):
-./cfplus-gnu-linux-x86.bin
+
+ 2008-12-05 Version 2.0: Last minor fixes round up the version 2.0 of our
+ client: The Log window can't be closed anymore by Alt+x, Also wont Alt+x or
+ other Message window operations crash the client anymore directly after startup.
+ Also the invisible/cached parts of the map are darkened even more, so that
+ invisibile parts can be distinguished from dark parts better.
+
-If you want to build the client from source there are two ways that -are explained on a different page: Source installation. + + 2008-11-09 Version 0.9978: Some minor fixes: + The healthbar is now correctly smoothly moved. Own text in NPC dialogues are + emphasized now. A crash bug in the macro dialogue has been fixed. The tooltips + in the Mesage Window tabs are updated correctly now. And Alt+x won't let + Message Window tabs disappear for ever anymore. +
-+ + 2008-09-29 Version 0.9977: A race condition has been fixed that could lead + to client freezes or crashes on login, especially on slower systems. The + smooth movement is no longer choppy. The default font for messages is now a + (hopefully nicer looking) proportional font. Text display has been tweaked. + The client no longer makes unnecessary screen refreshes and uses less CPU + time. + +
-+ + 2008-09-05 Next version of the client: 0.9976 comes with many fixes for Mac OS X, + like some fixed keyboard issues on OS X. Improved the protocol with compression + and fragmentation, leading to more efficent bandwidth usage. Implemented crash + diagnostics, which are sent to the server, for easier debugging. Important fix + with the default resolution, which was too small. Added theming support, with some + basic themes. And some other minor fixes all over the place. + +

-Just download the binary above in the Windows binary Section above at Download. -Thats all.

The map cache has been extended a bit to store more + map changes (fixes some minor bugs). Fixed some crashbugs when the client is + logged out and some UI elements were used. The server XML format is now also + supportet in item tooltips. The keyrepeats are ignored now in some conditions. + And crashes when the map cache is corrupted are now prevented. Also the client + configuration is now stored in pretty printed JSON. +
-For further instructions and informations look at the Help! button on the top! + + 2008-05-05 Long time no release, but now we got some fixes for you: Some issues + with the default sort order have been sorted out, some tooltips were fixed, + a long standing bug with the stats tab being empty has been resolved and some GUI + fixes have been done. Also the pseudo-items are now only shown in the inventory + and not the floorbox. Have fun! +

+ ++ 2008-03-24 Release of version 0.9967 of the Client: A memory leak was fixed + where the messages in the message window were kept for ever and the client + consumed more and more memory. The highlighting of the chattabs is now red and + not blue. The history handling of the chat input will now not erase the + typed input if the down cursor key is pressed. A keyboard modifier display has + also been implemented, (for example to signal whether numlock is on, + which caused problems under windows). Also a bug with the layout font under + windows has been fixed. + +
+ ++ + 2008-01-19 Another release of the Client, version 0.9965: Some bugs + have been fixed: A race condition was found in the database access and + a bug which crashed the client with nvidia drivers has been fixed. + Some minor bugs in the GUI, the message fontsize and chatbox label padding, + have also been fixed. + +
+ ++ + 2008-01-06 First release in the new year, version 0.9963: Among the + changes are some minor bugfixes, optical tweaks and performance + improvements on the GUI. Some to the user invisible changes were + improvements of the server side widgets and a reimplementation of the + message window to allow to undock chats from the central message window in + future releases. + +
+ ++ + 2007-12-25 Released version 0.9960 with some important fixes in the item animations + and GUI code, along with an API update to a more recent EV version the documentation + had some minor improvements. And last but not least the face loading consumes less CPU. + too. + +
++ + 2007-12-09 Released version 0.9959, main changes were a bugfix of the + audio-jingle playing (sometimes a jingle was played repeatedly if there was no + server-provided music available).
