  ====== Crossfire Windows Install HOWTO ======
+ This page is dedicated to assisting windows users in installing a crossfire client or server.
  
- ===== Server =====
+ If you wish to log in to an {{http://crossfire.real-time.com/metaserver2/meta_html.php|existing server}}, you simply need to install a [[#Windows Clients|windows client]].
  
+ If you wish to run your own server you will need to follow the [[#Windows Server|server installation instructions]].
+ 
+ ===== Windows Clients =====
+ 
+ A Crossfire client is required for logging in and playing Crossfire - whether it's a localhost server (running on your computer), or a server on your Local Area Network (LAN) or one of the many {{http://crossfire.real-time.com/metaserver2/meta_html.php|public servers that are available}}.
+ 
+ ==== JXClient ====
+ 
+ The java based jxclient is the only currently supported client for windows. 
+ 
+ The last build is available {{http://crossfire.real-time.com/clients/jxclient.html|here}}.
+ 
+ For more recent development builds try {{http://invidious.meflin.net/crossfire/jxclient.jnlp|here}}.
+ 
+ You will need Java Runtime Environment (JRE) available from the {{www.java.com|java website}}.
+ 
+ ==== Win32 GTK Client ====
+ 
+ This client is currently unsupported on the windows environment. Assistance in installing an older version is available [[windows_GTK_client|here]]
+ ===== Windows Server =====
+ 
+ If you are using windows and wish to run your own server locally, or setup a public server you will need to install a Crossfire Server. The server is dependent on, [[#Python v2.5.1]] installed, a copy of the [[#Crossfire Maps|maps]] and a copy of the [[#Crossfire Server]].
  
  ==== Python v2.5.1 ====
  
  First, we need to install Python v2.5.1 - this is a scripting language that is used by the server for such things as the Post Office, Message Boards and Banking system.

- Currently the only client supported is GTK v2.
  
- This version of the client supports SDL and OpenGL rendering, but it
- makes no attempt to detect which one is best for your system.  It's
- strongly recommended that, before playing for the first time, you open
- the configuration dialog (main menu, "Client", "Configure") and change
- a few settings to your liking.  In particular, "Enable smoothing", and
- on "Display mode", select OpenGL.  Save and restart (the client, not
- your system).  If your map display doesn't work or has artifacts,
- configure again and select SDL.
  
- If using SDL and if your computer is relatively recent, you should
- also set the "Lighting options" to "Best Per Pixel".
  
- Finally, if you installed the extra layouts, you may want to try a few
- of them.  Changing layouts requires a client restart
