Crazy Wars - a FOSS multiplayer FPS game

Ssnowcat · Sep 22, 2023

Hi!

I'm the main dev of Crazy Wars. I thought I'll share this project with you as maybe someone would be interested in playing, contributing or something else.

Here you can download binaries (for Linux and Windows):
https://codeberg.org/CrazyWars/CrazyWars/releases

Here is the code:
https://codeberg.org/CrazyWars/CrazyWars

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game!

Welcome to the forum! Cool with an open project like this. Would be great if you could share some screenshots so it becomes easier to get a sense of what the game is.

snowcat I'll share this project with you

Yeah, screenshots would be nice.

I don't even feel comfortable agreeing with the administration.

Off-topic question: what is the advantage of codeberg.org over github.com?

It's not quite clear what exactly to download — is the project in source code?

Tomcat looks like "MP client" is the client. MP server is the server. A separate repo named cwaccountserver is the account server. Btw the client code is hardcoded to a ip so we'll have to wait for that

"MP client" is the client. MP server is the server. Both are Godot projects. A separate repo named cwaccountserver is the account server. the db.sql file in cwaccountserver is the database

make sure to update the app.py file with your mysql username and password for cwaccountserver.

as with releases, there is a problem, the binaries exceed Codeberg's max file size

What's the limitation there? Torrent maybe?

Ssnowcat · Sep 23, 2023

Limit is 100MB. Binaries are 121.25MB for the client and 103.16MB for the server.

Here is the client binary for Windows: https://mega.nz/file/p28RGRaK#1khBBQwiPMjztSCX0TP7LJTvzZNhoyI2Pww2VY0ETTk

For now this is how i'll have to do it.

and here's the client binary for Linux: https://mega.nz/file/021XgD6I#VLQ78C-otgiz-_c4QYqg8S4qL67vxELpBYOvhH1lVLQ

Is just the PCK file good? I think the exe stays the same.

Ssnowcat · Sep 24, 2023

Zoz88 looks like you need to replace both the EXE and PCK when updating a project. An export template is only guaranteed to be compatible with the same major.minor.patch version the PCK was exported with.

for the v0.02 i put all the files in zip files to compress them down. https://codeberg.org/CrazyWars/CrazyWars/releases/tag/0.0.2

snowcat Hey, I tried it. But I only get a grey screen when I start a game (MP Client). I'm on windows.

Ssnowcat · Sep 24, 2023

it's a multiplayer fps you need to download 'MP Server' and that's the server.

Here's a tutorial vid to install Crazy Wars:

Ssnowcat · Sep 24, 2023

installation process is the same on Windows, but without the chmod +x stuff

Tomcat · Sep 24, 2023

snowcat installation process is the same on Windows, but without the chmod +x stuff

Yeah, it's much easier in Win

Is that the way it should be?

Ssnowcat · Sep 24, 2023

no just restart a few times and it should work. i still have to fix that
