The link in the announcement thread works fine for me, though.

Post by: Gonvin on July 07, 2013, 05:27:58 am: Alright I think I found the problem. It is I don't know how to use git to download the server or link it or do whatever you're supposed to do with it.

Post by: Ganado on July 07, 2013, 05:58:16 am: One option is that you could copy https://github.com/rotators/fo2238 into the "SVN checkout" option on Tortoise SVN (a program for downloading and keeping track of repository updates), but if you don't wish to download that, simply go to that same link on your browser, and scroll down the right-hand side of the screen until you see the "Download ZIP" link, and download that.

After you do that, replace the existing Client folder with the one downloaded from here: http://fo2238.fodev.net/source/FOnline2238.client+mapper.zip

Then the tutorial should apply. Good luck in what you plan to do!

Post by: neatlysteve on July 25, 2013, 04:05:35 am: I have a question, well I'd like to start a server on a beowulf cluster that I'm working on but I'm worried about compatibility. It's a gnu/Linux os, so will the download work in Linux? Also if I worked on it my windows 7 would it transfer smoothly to the Linux?

But if you'll cut extra extensions (online_stats, DevConnect, etc) then i think only Utils need to be taken care of (becouse of logging functions) before starting tests with penguins on board.

There is, however, few projects which could give you some info about FOnline+Linux - Ashes of Phoenix (was running server thru wine some months back), FOnline 2 (experiments with linux server app, due to engine bug present in windows version), probably Desert Europe (but not so sure about that).

Post by: neatlysteve on July 25, 2013, 06:51:06 pm: Ok but if I download in the first place on the Linux cluster it should work correct (only my Linux master and the diskless nodes)? Also thanks for those project names had no idea there was so many other groups working on fonline projects.
