Welcome to Empire 4, codenamed Wolfpack. Congratulations on your choice!
|
|
|
|
See the "LEGAL", "LICENSE", "CREDITS" and "README" files for all the
|
|
related information and legal notices. It is expected that any future
|
|
projects/authors will amend these files as needed.
|
|
|
|
For questions and comments, please contact "wolfpack@wolfpackempire.com".
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the server, follow the few simple steps below. If
|
|
you are looking for more information on the files here, options for
|
|
the server, etc. take a look in the "doc" directory, then follow the steps
|
|
below to build and start the server.
|
|
|
|
(1) Unpacking the server
|
|
To unpack the server, simply gunzip and untar the source.
|
|
|
|
(2) Building a server
|
|
Note that you may not have to build a server. If you received the
|
|
server in binary format, go to the next step, "Creating the world."
|
|
|
|
To build the server, you need to do the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1) Get a copy of the source. Since you're reading this, we assume
|
|
you have done that.
|
|
2) Gunzip the source. Again, since you're reading this . . . ;-)
|
|
3) edit the build.conf file in this directory, and answer the questions
|
|
it asks you.
|
|
4) type "make" to see what architectures are currently supported.
|
|
5) choose the architecture that best suits you, and type "make <arch>"
|
|
where <arch> is the architecture you want to build.
|
|
6) type "make depend" to build the dependencies (not required, but
|
|
helps a lot when you want to recompile something again.)
|
|
Note: "make depend" doesn't work under NT yet.
|
|
|
|
(3) Creating the world
|
|
(NOTE: If you received a binary, you must edit the included data/econfig
|
|
file to represent the paths where your data and info directories are.)
|
|
1) First, pick the world size you want to use. Once you have chosen
|
|
a world size, edit the "data/econfig" file (it was either created
|
|
at build time, or shipped with the binary) and change the WORLD_X
|
|
and WORLD_Y to be the sizes you want. The default world size is 64x32.
|
|
IMPORTANT: WORLD_X *MUST* be divisible by 2. In addition, if you
|
|
change the world size later, you *MUST* re-create the world by
|
|
running "bin/files" again.
|
|
2) Go into the "bin" directory, and run "./files".
|
|
3) If you want to create a new world, run "./fairland 10 30" to create
|
|
a sample world (read the documentation for fairland for more info on
|
|
it's arguments.)
|
|
Note that "files" and "fairland" use the world size in the econfig file
|
|
if it exists in the data directory. If this file doesn't exist, and you
|
|
don't specify one, it will use the default world size the server was
|
|
compiled with (Wolfpack binaries ship with a 64x32 world size) You can
|
|
create an econfig file with default values using the "bin/pconfig"
|
|
executable.
|
|
|
|
(4) Running the server
|
|
1) Run the bin/emp_server executable to start the server.
|
|
|
|
That's it. Once running, you can log on to the server using the emp_client
|
|
program found in the "bin" directory. The initial deity country name/password
|
|
is POGO/peter.
|
|
|
|
If you get a "You're not a deity!" message and logged off, check the
|
|
"data/server.log" file and look at the end for a "NON-AUTH" entry.
|
|
There should be a "user@host" message in there that failed to log in.
|
|
The user and host that your system is using may be different than the
|
|
one you put in your build.conf file. So, enter this new user and host
|
|
in the auth file, and you should be able to log into the server as a
|
|
deity now. Note that if you rebuild the server again, the auth file
|
|
will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
For more information on options, programs, files and other general hints
|
|
look in the "doc" directory. The README there describes the files there and
|
|
what they talk about.
|

|
|
we'll try to answer if we can. Also check out our web site at

Have fun!
