 If you want to run it for another port, or even want to [[:server:hosting|host]] [[multiple instances]] of the server, then it needs to assign a different port number for each instance that runs.

+Should print out the version of the server binary. \\
+That worked until at least v1.12.0 somewhat, but later servers would not print anything into the terminal, since some code changes in regards to the message stream between the server and the client had been changed, that made the usage of older clients on newer v1.50 servers and beyond partly unusable and the other way too. \\
+The problem is the //void version(object *op)// in //server/server/server.c// , that is called by //static void call_version(void)// in //server/server/init.c// with the //NULL// parameter. \\
+The function //version// is also used by the player command [[:player_commands#version]] and since v1.50 uses a //draw_ext_info_format// that apparently fails to check for the direction of the output. The older servers used the //new_draw_info_format// function. These *_draw_*_info_* functions are to be found in //server/socket/info.c// .
+Example output :
+  * ''This is Crossfire v1.11.0''
+  * ''This is Crossfire v1.12-beta''
+     * ''[NULL]''
