Prot's website now lists 7 games for the current MP testing version.
I'm glad you found someone to play. Or didn't you?

The video you mentioned is not available in Europe and the US. When trying to access it, the following message is printed: "This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

We played 3 games.
No problems encountered.
The video got music from the harmful copyright holder.

I'm probably missing something but when I start a master game (f5f0340, built Jan 4 2019) no custom maps are available when hosting a new mp game. I've put the maps in Documents\Warzone 2100 master\maps. Also tried to add it to the installed dir (C:\Program Files (x86)\Warzone 2100-master\maps

Windows 7 in case that matters. Documents directory is on a second drive, D:\Documents

The location of the configuration directory for Windows has changed in:

More robust handling of getting the app user-data (prefs) dir

- Fixed: On Windows, applications should never write application-data files to My Documents (`CSIDL_PERSONAL`) - instead, use `%APPDATA%\org\appname`.
- Fixed: By using `PHYSFS_getPrefDir` when available (PhysFS >= 2.1), we include proper support for numerous other operating systems / configurations.
- Fixed: Fallback when `PHYSFS_getPrefDir` is not available (PhysFS < 2.1) that matches its behavior as closely as possible.
- Fixed: Crash introduced by commit: 827cd597385aa34f77c3ab45f7249b68799114b9 when `getenv("HOME")` returns NULL.

Changes of note:
- On Windows the application-data path has changed to the appropriate location under `%APPDATA%\Warzone 2100 Project\Warzone 2100 <version>`
- On Linux / Unix, the warzone application-data path follows the [XDG base directory spec](https://standards.freedesktop.org/based ... atest.html) the same way that `PHYSFS_getPrefDir` does.
See the updated `README.md` for details.

Try following these instructions:

The directory Warzone 2100 Project\Warzone 2100 <version> is located under the %APPDATA% folder.

Typical %APPDATA% paths:

Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\$USER$\Application Data
Windows Vista+: \Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming

Hence, the default path for the Warzone configuration data on Windows Vista+ would be: C:\Users\$USER$\AppData\Roaming\Warzone 2100 Project\Warzone 2100 <version>\

By default, the %APPDATA% folder is hidden. Entering: %APPDATA%\Warzone 2100 Project\ into the address bar of Windows Explorer will browse to your Warzone directory.

Shouldn't we play master?
After the last big testing of the master version, a lot of time has passed, it's time to check for updates.

The Tarball don't work it's not even set to the right version in SF

If you want to get the git version first you need to get master and then switch to 3.3.0-beta1
To get master

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100.git

in the folder you want to store warzone
Then you can change to the 3.3.0-beta1 branch with the below commands

I did

Code: Select all

git pull --tags

in the master version
Then change the branch to 3.3.0-beta1
with

Code: Select all

git checkout 3.3.0-beta1

Then compile it using the commands.

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh
./configure &&  make

After you have compiled it you can.

Code: Select all

./src/warzone2100

And you are ready I hope!!!
