are there any attempts to implement a network game server like in wesnoth? If one would be available there would surely be many games played online and popularity of this site would spread like mad.

I started this years ago, but the attempts were dropped. There is support for GGZ gamingzone in widelands, but it is not maintained right now. The ideal approach to this would be to make some add ons (plugins?) to an IRC server so that we wouldn't have to re implement a complete chat room. Cheers, !SirVer

i think it would be create to 'reactivate' the GGZ stuff. it seems to do pritty much everything we want (doens't it) and we would be duplicating a lot of work otherwise.

yes Dwarik is actually right - it seems as if ggz even supports a simply way for file transfers, so this could be a good solution for our savegame transfer

I agree fully. I haven't looked at GGZ in a long while, but maybe it has matured. It would be fortunate if we do not had to provide our own game server; I wouldn't want to maintain it for a start. Anyone up for the challenge?

I will take a look in it. Unfortunally ggz homepage is quite outdated - just the news are up to date and those tell me, that the next release will have major changes, so IF we reimplement ggz, we should definitely use the developer version, else we will soon need to fix a lot of code. Well... let's see

okay I contacted the ggz devs on their mailinglist. Perhaps it's possible to use their official server for widelands. At least I found one thing out: savegame sharing is implemented in ggz, but only via the global server, so that's actually not what we want, as that function would not work in local network games.

An option for a standalone dedicated server would be nice .. I mean, a server only version for widelands, instead of the --dedicated option.

In fact the ./widelands --dedicated is meant to become a "real" dedicated server. Of course it is still a far way for reaching this goal, but comes time....
