Crossfire Ailesse Server Webpage

Welcome to the website of the Crossfire Ailesse Server. Here you'll find various documentation files related to the game, as well as a couple of precompiled tools.

About the Ailesse Server

The Ailesse Server aims at providing an original player experience. Its key features are:

Useful Stuff

The Java Client (JXClient)

This is an experimental version of the Crossfire Client, aiming at providing you a better gaming experience than the regular client. Note that it is still under development; although I do believe it is advanced enough to be used for regular play, do not be surprized if it isn't as stable as you expected.

The version of JXClient we provide here is built from the latest sources on a daily basis through an automated script, to ensure that you always have the latest version at your fingertips.

Requirements:

Java5 is currently unsupported, and quite probably never will.

Note for X.org users: Recent changes in X.org prevent Java to properly switch to fullscreen mode. If you're using X.org 1.4 and get a "Fullscreen not available message" from jxclient, you may need to patch the libmawt.so file shipped with your Java distribution. To do so, use the following command:
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' libmawt.so

The Gridarta Map Editor for Crossfire

Written in Java, this wonderful map editor is the tool you need if you want to create new maps for Crossfire. Don't hesitate - contributors are more than welcome!

The version of Gridarta we provide here is built from the latest sources on a daily basis through an automated script, to ensure that you always have the latest version at your fingertips.

Package repositories

Debian-based distributions

Packages for the Java client and the map editor are available. Those are built on a daily basis each time the code of one of those applications was updated. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://crossfire.ailesse.com/debian binary/

The packages are named "crossfire-editor-java" and "crossfire-client-java".

YUM (RPM)-based distributions

Add this to your yum setup. The packages are named "crossfire-editor-java" and "crossfire-client-java"

Mac OSX

A DMG of the GTK Client, version 1.10, is available for download on Ailesse here. This should run on OSX 10.4 or later.

Solaris

Packages for the server and for the X11/GTK1 clients are available for Solaris. Those are compiled for the UltraSparc architecture and will not work on x86 versions of Solaris.
To install, do as root ' pkgadd -d pkgname.pkg '. For packages with '.tgz' appended, do ' gtar -zxvf pkgname.pkg.tgz '. All packages, unless otherwise stated, install to '/usr/local'.
The Crossfire server version 1.11, including maps
The 1.11 X11 and GTK1 clients.
Those are actually a mirror of packages found on http://meeg.elvenrealms.net/packages/. The last mirroring was performed on November 21th, 2008.
