The add-ons server feature has been merged now. The latest development version of Widelands now connects to the official add-ons server, which offers a range of new features:

  • You can upload add-ons from the in-game add-ons manager to the server. This is now the preferred way of submitting add-ons if you're using a development build.

  • You can also submit screenshots in the same way.

  • You can now write comments on add-ons. They can even be styled using WLRichtext.

  • You can also vote on add-ons with 1-10 stars.

  • The download speed has increased drastically.

  • Add-on designers can include an optional image file icon.png (64×64 pixels) in their add-on to give it an individual icon in the list of add-ons.

From the log:

[Wed Sep 29 20:43:12 CEST 2021 @ Client#005332] ERROR: WL Protocol Exception: Name '\Along_The_River.wmf' may not contain the character '\'

Looks like a problem with Windows paths, my code assumes / as the directory separator. Will prepare a fix.

The alpha server is up with a branch, please start Widelands with --addon_server_port=7377 and try if you can upload the add-on there. If it works I'll make a pull request.
