this looks cool but comes with many .jar (specifically the all important editor) without .java (they are all .class and like deeply nested apache google and gnome stuffs - these are impossible to chase down license and get righ versions of .java for). i can't give stars as for Open Source if it's not Open. (cannot be modified fully redistrbuted dont have all code to do it, licenses on all those .class very unclear. oracle "almost all should run without modification and recompilation". "class initialization differences between 8 and 7 can cause unspecified `behavioral changes' (errors)" "Oracle suggest developers include .java source, and loader includes an integrity checked when it does." the .class of gradel apache et al are stripped. idk how you find docs on how to use them if need be. On CF web it shows were "5 compatible truly open source clients" but the server has been hacked so that none work anymore: they have blocked downloads of them on dl page. GTK Client now requires cmake + Vava (2 more entire megaware build extras, and vala requires Valac ... neither of which have makefiles (docs say use configure but that's missing also). btw if you manage to find valac it requires bootstrapping and docs to do it if that fails - something tells me it will)
Was once probably 4-5 stars. Sound gone after 1.11.0 for a long time, the user has to figure out everything self. The Wiki became abandoned after the year 2007. Compression support gone without adjusting define.h . The picture archives are always included in the source of the server, but not in the client package. The source code repo is too large because of the server's png archives and the maps.
As much fun to play as to work on.
Crossfire is an incredibly rich and immersive game. Beneath its retro-style graphics, the game holds a wealth of monsters, dungeons, caverns, artifacts, and treasure. The world is large and open-ended: visit cities, discover dungeons, explore remote villages, and even sail to the south pole. The controls and the scale of the game can be daunting at first, but it's well worth getting past the learning curve.
