New Game: Imperium

There are lots of repositories here:
https://github.com/fstltna?tab=repositories

Which of these do need to be built?

Hi, for now the "imperium" and "impfe" repos would be nice...

Starting from scratch.

"Imperium uses "secret" codes (they are never displayed or entered) to
prevent users from "spoofing" the Imperium server into doing things it
would not normally allow them to do. The codes will be encrypted, if
possible, and the server will look at the (possibly) encrypted codes and
decide if the client is "known" before responding to it.

For this to work I must create a file called "impsec.h" which will
contain the codes that you wish to use. Note that only the first 8
characters will be used for each code."

This will be rather useless because I have to hardcode it in my build script and they are available public.

It doesn't matter that much as the client-server communication is on localhost only. Knowing the code would not allow any access unless they had a shell account on the server...

The compilation for imperium succeeded. There were some small build errors. Will send a pull request for those.

But don't know how to fix this error in ImpFE:
ImpFeGui.c:3:19: fatal error: forms.h: No such file or directory

You need the xforms library...

Ok, compilation suceeded.
But how can I join a game now?

Do I need to run a local server?
What are the ConImp and TelImp executables for?

Is the imperium package a dependency of the impfe package or are both standalone?

Go to the main server, enter your desired player name, say yes you want to create it then enter the password "add.me" and it will make it for you.

ConImp is a console client, TelImp is the daemon you run to accept incoming connections, by default on port 3458. Both are standalone. You can actually play with a plain telnet cluent but impfe has a lot of extra features.

I would suggest reading the doc files, especially the "hosting" file if you want to run a server of your own.

Thanks for your help...
