======Forks of Crossfire======

See Also : [[:history_of_crossfire|History of Crossfire]]

The open source code of [[:start|Crossfire]] has been used by people,
who wanted to create their own [[:monsters]], [[:maps:]] or [[:skills]] .

Most are hosted on https://sourceforge.net . \\
When using the search input box there, it brings around 20 hits. \\
Unfortunately around half of the Crossfire related projects stopped submitting files after a short time, \\
indicating, that the Crossfire source code base is too large to work on as a single programmer.

===== List of Forks of Crossfire =====

  - Wograld : Started with version 1.9, too few developers, forum exists no more.
  - Deliantra : Bigworld split into two continents divided by sea.
  - CrossCiv : A galactic milieu for crossfire -- whatever that is.
  - Crossfire-Extended : Pre-2008 Crossfire Server with extended maps.
  - Crossfire2000 : Server and Maps version 1.11.0, Clients v.1.10.y and 1.12.0 .
  - Atrinik : 2D isometric graphics MORPG based on Daimonin and Crossfire.
  - Daimonin : German Wikipedia claims, it had been developed on Crossfire...

==== Atrinik ====
Home page : https://www.atrinik.org , pretty huge in red colours, similar to crossfire.real-time.com . \\
GitHub : https://github.com/atrinik/atrinik , says "RPG with 2.5D isometric graphics,
with concepts based on Crossfire and Angelion." .

Seems to deploy the same standard port as Crossfire ( 13327 ) , \\
but connection failed using a stock GTK2 1.70.0 Crossfire [[:client]] \\
to //game.atrinik.org// listed on https://www.atrinik.org/page/servers_list .

----

==== CrossCiv Galactic Milieu ====

 [[:server:servers#active_servers|CrossCiv]] is still up, people can connect as of February 2018. \\
 CrossCiv code is hosted on sourceforge : [[https://sourceforge.net/p/galacticmilieu]] \\
 It's [[http://sourceforge.net/p/galacticmilieu/home/Home|wiki]] at sourceforge is explaining much. \\
 The player needs to be a normal character that does not use magic or prayers to access the galactic milieu. \\
 Otherwise, the character is send to a usual crossfire-style fantasy world, with an uncommon starting island [[:maps:|map]]. \\
 The [[:client]] to connect to //crossciv.no-ip.org// needs to be //v1.60.0// or newer, to play it fully functional.


----

==== Crossfire Extended ====
The Crossfire Extended seems to be split into two projects on Sourceforge :
  * Release that contains [[:server]] and [[:client]] 
  * Maps and Archetypes 

It appears, that former main map developers like "mikeeusa" had to abandon the Crossfire project, and uploaded their way to SourceForge.

See also under the section [[:Humor#Maps]] on the [[:humor]] page ..

=== Server and Clients ===
The ChangeLog entries suggest, that they were forked already short time after the release of version 1.9.0 of crossfire. \\
It's main page says :
>>Contains old features that were loved (but were taken out of regular crossfire) weather generation etc. 
>>A crossfire from another age. 
>>If you like the pre 2008 CF, here it is with lots and lots and lots more maps! 
>>More archtypes and items. 
>>Including full new building sets: germanic, candy-kingdomish/russian, japanese, middle east. 
The source code tarball includes pre-build executables for 64bit kernels.

==== Crossfire2000 ====
It says not much there :
>Rehash of crossfire for newer OS
Whatever that means ...

Url : https://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire2000


----

==== Daimonin ==
Home page: https://www.daimonin.org/ , pretty huge in dark red-brown colors.

Wikipedia: Has a few languages available, but *not* in the English language 
( Czech, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Swedish ) .
 
Daimonin source code is hosted on SourceForge :
  * https://sourceforge.net/projects/daimonin
  * http://daimonin.sourceforge.net


----

==== Deliantra ====
 
 [[http://www.deliantra.net/|Deliantra]] is still up as of February 2018. 
  
 Noteworthy it's address to view [[http://maps.deliantra.net|Maps]]


----

==== Wograld ====

 Wograld source code is hosted on sourceforge : [[https://sourceforge.net/p/wograld]] \\
 It has a [[http://wograld.sourceforge.net|summary]] and a [[http://wogralddev.blogspot.de/|blog]] . \\

 [[:download:cvs|Cvs]] access did not work for me, since the source is set read-only. \\
 Using [[:sourceforge:rsync]], it needs then the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs|rcs]] package installed, \\
 to extract it's `,v' archive files using `rcs co' , which is short for checkout.

 Status : no current downloads, cvs archive access through rsync, difficulties with bugs in the old client crashing the server

 Noteworthy the 9 Stupidities, however they have implemented these.

 About the artwork : The monsters have more human-like faces; many monsters, who just are usually one tile in size, are two tiles in size : \\
