The Empires 2.0 dedicated server install file is now public. It is being distributed as a zip file in order to support both Windows and Linux and includes everything necessary to run a dedicated server. The media section has also been updated with new pictures of 2.0.
long time Empires lurker here very excited about the 2.0 release! Those pics look awesome with the full HDR and new FX. I've been waiting to play this game since imagining RTS/FPS hybrid 10 years ago. It's so incredible to see it all coming together!
Krenzo you could say that Empires can hold 30-40 players (I don't remember the precise number) with <Insert official server's specs here>. It was tested pretty well during 1.08 test phase. It will be a very useful information for people making servers.
Ok. But lol, copy paste for the lose: http://empiresmod.com/media.php Check the fourth row and the first picture from the left. After you have watched it a bit hover your mouse over the picture and see what it says. "blah blah blah 'n' stuff ...medium tanks prepares to... blah blah blah 'n' stuff." Aren't they still heavy tanks?
yay server clients released. The time draws close, can someone give me the IP for the empires 2.0 offfical server and i'll meet you guys there at the magic time :-p
I just hope I can find a spot on a server, it would suck if I had to spend all night waiting for one.
Linux server build that is currently distributed is wrong. It uses default Valve's settings which cause a crash when mod is run on any machine other than developer's machine. Fixed .so file is here: http://www.lo3.wroc.pl/~moo/empires_linux/server.tar.bz2 It should be changed in server.zip. (new build isn't tested yet on a non-dev machine)
I'm just going to post this patch in the server section. The server.zip is already out on other mirrors.
