# widelands-metaserver

The game server that provides chat and hosting of games for Widelands.

For information about the used network protocol, see the file

[src/network/internet_gaming_protocol.h](https://github.com/widelands/widelands/blob/master/src/network/internet_gaming_protocol.h)

in the Widelands sources at .

# Building

1. Install [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install).

2. `cd $GOPATH`

3. `go get github.com/widelands/widelands-metaserver/...`

4. `cd src/github.com/widelands/widelands-metaserver`

5. `make`

# Deploying

1. `make cross`

2. scp `$GOPATH/bin/linux_amd64/wl*` over to the server and replace the files in `/usr/local/bin/`.

3. `sudo restart wlnetrelay`. This will also restart the metaserver.

4. Check in `/var/log/upstart/wlmetaserver.log` and

   `/var/log/upstart/wlnetrelay.log` that the restarts were

   successful.

# Testing locally

1. `$GOPATH/bin/wlnr`. This starts the relay server for hosting games.

2. `$GOPATH/bin/wlms`. This starts the server with an empty in memory user database.

3. Edit `~/.widelands/config` and add the line `metaserver="localhost"` before

   launching widelands.

4. Launch Widelands and click on internet game.

5. Do not forget to remove the metaserver line once you want to play on the real

   metaserver again.
