===== 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]] executable.

For information about building the crossfire server from source on windows see [[server:server_compiling#Microsoft Windows Compile Guide]]

==== 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.

1. Click [[http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi|here]] to begin the install process of Python v2.5.1

2. The initial setup screen should appear, select Install for all users and click on Next

3. When asked on a Destination Directory, stay with the default (C:\Python25\) unless you have a reason to use a different directory, click on Next

4. On the Customize screen, stay with with default options, click on Next

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:07_python.png}}

5. Wait for Python to finish installing, like the screen says - this could take several minutes

6. Python has now finished installing, click on Finish

7. Restart your computer to complete the install and setup process

==== Crossfire Maps ====

The map set is a separate file and is required installation in order to play Crossfire.

1. Click [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/files/crossfire-server-windows/1.70.0/crossfire-server-bigworld-maps-1.70.exe/download|here]] to begin the install process of Crossfire Maps

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:01_maps.png}}

2. Click Next in the Install Wizard

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:06_maps.png}}

3. Read through the License agreement, and if you accept, click on I Agree

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:07_maps.png}}

4. Chose which components to install - it is recommend to use the defaults (Unlinked maps, Test Maps and Python Scripts) and click Next

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:08_maps.png}}

5. Use the default install destination directory (C:\Program Files\Crossfire Server) - the rest of the instructions assume you're going to do this - click Install

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:09_maps.png}}

6. Wait for the maps to install - this could take several minutes - click on Next

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:10_maps.png}}

7. The maps are now installed, click on Finish

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:11_maps.png}}

==== Crossfire Server ====

Now we are going to install the server - which is also a required component for playing Crossfire. The server is installed last so that it will automatically detect the installation of the map files and Python - which will streamline the install process.

1. Click [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/files/crossfire-server-windows/1.70.0/crossfire-server-1.70.exe/download|here]] to begin the install process of Crossfire Server

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:04_server.png}}

2. Click Next in the Install Wizard

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:05_server.png}}

3. Read through the License agreement, and if you accept, click on I Agree

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:06_server.png}}

4. Chose which components to install - it is recommend to use the defaults (Python plugin and Menu Shortcuts) and click Next

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:07_server.png}}

5. Use the default install destination directory (C:\Program Files\Crossfire Server) - the rest of the instructions assume you're going to do this - click Install

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:08_server.png}}

6. Wait for the install to finish, it may take a couple of minutes

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:09_server.png}}

7. You should now see a prompt (Register Crossfire server as a Windows service?) - click Yes

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:10_server.png}}

8. Click on Finish

{{http://wiki.metalforge.net/lib/exe/fetch.php/images:11_server.png}}
