Amen to that.

Since dedicated server is still not working, i backported older springie.

Get it from http://springie.licho.eu/springie.zip

Great news for everyone waiting for dedicated server/springie :)
Its now working...

Springies should self update to 1.20 and you need to get/build dedicated server.

Todo:
- make springie totally spring independent (no maps/mods or full spring install needed)

dedicated server is not autobuilt anywhere, you should package it with springie, at least for now.

Current as of this post: http://evolutionrts.info/~lurker/spring-dedicated.zip

packed with dedicated http://springie.licho.eu/springie.zip
(extract dedicatd to spring)

I am about to test it, lets see. :D

It still crashes when a team self-destructs, but not on normal team death. /take is unknown, should be fixed

W000T! It works, and minimal CPU as well. Thanks Licho. I owe you several of your favorite beers!

broken behavior on windows 2000

i enter in user/pass, doesn't try to connect at all, i see no pop up

i am able to mess with settings but,

i see two tabs "TabPage 1" "TabPage 2", tab 1 has a blank button in the top left corner

Great, /take doesn't crash it. Just instruct people to resign instead of self-destructing.

Posts redownload full zip, you are missing planetwarsshared.dll

downloaded again, dll not found, works for a min until it updates, same problem

searching around, not finding it

stats account already registered... so i guess i need to disable stats to stop this thing? or have you delete "PostsSpringie"

hmm, that was strange, i think i needed to clear my firefox cache... i feel like i'm in 1996

resolved

Updates? If you downloaded latest it should not update unless i made some error somehwere.. what version is it?
It should be 1.20

Thx goes to Auswaschbar, Det and Lurker who made this release possible.
Dedicated server is still evolving and you should get latest version from buildbot/jobjol.nl

Note- fixed/random start positions only work if you have map,choose box works without map.

I added modinfo and mapinfo (generated from my maps and mods) to

http://springie.licho.eu/modinfo.dat
http://springie.licho.eu/mapinfo.dat

These files are needed because springie is now spring/unitsync independent.
It only needs those files and connection to P2P server to run. It can host newer versions of mods existing in modinfo.dat under condition that no changes happen to stuff like modoptions.

If you want to use random/fixed positions you need to give dedicated server the map.

That'll change in the future, right?
