New experimental crossfire server in Germany



Hi folks,

I started a new crossfire server at
future.chemietechnik.uni-dortmund.de 13326 (IP= 129.217.176.31)
It's still experimental and currently just a plain vanilla 0.91.0 compile.
The problem is, our university has a X firewall.
If you want to play from outside of *.uni-dortmund.de,
you'll need some trickery (i.e. use xroute). Here's a quick
HOWTO:

a) xhost + future on your machine
b) setenv DISPLAY <your ip NUMBER>:0 	(somehow, they
	do not get resolved, so use the number for now)
c) run xroute on your machine:
	xroute -d 1 myhost:0
d) telnet to future 13326
e) type "add myhost:1"	(might have to use IP number)
f) your window should pop up then and you can quit the telnet with "quit"

That's it for now.
Please don't use XPM or pixmap if you play, since it will slow things
down a lot if you're not local.

Cheers,
-Sven
