Crossfire Client

Crossfire is a free, open-source, cooperative multi-player RPG and adventure game. Since its initial release, Crossfire has grown to encompass over 150 monsters, 3000 areas to explore, an elaborate magic system, 13 races, 15 character classes, and many powerful artifacts scattered far and wide. Set in a fantastical medieval world, it blends the style of Gauntlet, NetHack, Moria, and Angband.

Installation

To build with the default options, change to the source directory and run:

$ mkdir build && cd build/
$ cmake ..
$ make
# make install

To build with minimal dependencies, use this CMake command instead:

$ cmake -DLUA=OFF -DMETASERVER2=OFF -DSOUND=OFF ..

To build with debugging symbols:

$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

Use ccmake instead of cmake to change these options and more interactively.

For more details, see Compiling the Crossfire Client on the Crossfire Wiki.

Dependencies

  • C compiler supporting C99
  • CMake
  • GTK+ 2
  • libpng
  • Perl
  • pkg-config
  • Vala

Optional:

  • libcurl (for metaserver support)
  • Lua 5 (for client-side Lua scripting)
  • SDL2_mixer (for sound support)

Sounds

To play with sounds, make sure the client is compiled with SOUND enabled. Download the sound archive and extract it to ${PREFIX}/share/crossfire-client. Then enable sound effects in the client preferences.

Release

To tag and prepare a client release:

  1. Update ChangeLog
  2. Update VERSION string in CMakeLists.txt and gtk-v2/ui/dialogs.ui
  3. Create an annotated tag (e.g. git tag -a v1.2.3 -m "Tag 1.2.3 release")
  4. Push tags
  5. Build the client normally (see above)
  6. Run git clean -fx to clean up local files
  7. Download/check out current sounds into sounds/ for inclusion in the source release
  8. In the build directory, run make package_source
  9. Inspect resulting source tarball, extract, build, test
  10. Upload source distribution, coordinate builds, announce
  11. Celebrate with a Chateau Navar '78
