The official server

The "official" server has some additional features over "normal" servers. Most notably, the "official" server saves replays and the /watch command in the lobby.

Internally, this is just a #define that can be triggered on. It is possible to build a clone of the official server, but it is tricky (and not really documented yet).

How to build the official server

NOTE: This guide is INCOMPLETE and UNTESTED!

First, make sure to define the symbol OFFICIAL_SERVER before building the server.

For the official server, you need the normal dependencies for the Hedgewars server plus a couple of additional Haskell dependencies. See gameServer/hedgewars-server.cabal in the source code repository for a list.

As soon you built the official server, you need to set it up.

In the same directory with hedgewars-server , create a file named hedgewars-server.ini . Add the following dummy contents:

bans = [] dbHost = localhost dbLogin = hedgewars dbName = hedgewars dbPassword = password sv_latestProto = 51 sv_message = Hi
