Since 50% of all Ace of Spades servers are currently using pyspades, I guess it's time to make a proper topic about it (instead of the now dead WIP topic).

pyspades is an open-source project which primarily provides a cross-platform, feature-packed and completely modifiable server.

The project is located at http://code.google.com/p/pyspades

A quick-start guide on setting up a server can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/wiki/QuickStart

The win32 binary builds can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/downloads/list

Bugs/suggestions/etc. go in the issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/issues/list

Serverlists supporting pyspades listing:
Morthor's serverlist: http://iammorthor.com/aos/
The pyspades serverlist: http://mp2.dk/aos

I would like to thank all of the people who have contributed with ideas, code and everything else so far. It's amazing to see how some people appear from nowhere and start hacking on the code and upload project art. Without your help, the 50% milestone would probably never have been reached. Thank you!

Thumbs UP! :D

goood job mat^2 keep doing the great work

Keep up the good work.

As soon as I get the delay issue fixed, Spadille will start supporting it as well :D

what is god mode?

AnacondaML: makes you invincible, gives you infinite ammo/blocks/grenades, etc., but you can't kill in this mode (it's mostly useful for administration).

with the release i will definitely give it a shot. I like to run my own server every now and then and look at progress on simple mod projects so I'll be checking it out.

May I ask if some of my maps can be added? :3

Exile: Great!

Sasquatch: Sure, send them ahead (with metadata if possible, please) ;)

I like the way pyspades keeps floating blocks when the map is loaded and doesn't remove them like the default server.

Hubble, that's a feature, not a bug. If it's a problem for you, fill in a ticket at the issue-tracker.

Why would he fill in a ticket if you (the developer) are aware of it, and he's saying it's a issue? Makes no sense to tell the developer twice about the same problem. Especially when the developer is aware of it as well.

ummmm I wasn't being sarcastic. :P

Thanks for the floating block retaining feature mat. <---- not sarcastic

Here you are matpow2. Seven of my maps plus metadata. Much appreciated!

Hubble: Ah! Hehe :)

Lexsym: I'm not the only developer on this project, and I don't necessarily deal with the map C++ problems. Also, there are other issues in the issuetracker we are working on, so we tend to forgot about problems if they're not in there.

Sasquatch: Thanks a lot! I will commit them to the repository soon.

how do u create a map

can you write me a bot (irc) code in config please? because with my config code it isn't work. here my code in configs: "irc" : {
"enabled" : true,
"nickname" : "SERVER BOT",
"username" : "SERVER BOT",
"realname" : "SERVER BOT",
"server" : "irc.quakenet.org",
"port" : 6667,
"channel" : "#pyspades.bots",
"commandprefix" : "."

akseltorgerson: You mean you want to put in your own custom map? You don't necessarily have to write the map metadata (.txt files), you can just drop your .vxl into the 'maps' folder and then set the map in the config.

Just thought I'd share this. Congrats :D

Oh man, that's great :) Long live pyspades (and Spadille)!

Spadille now supports pyspades as well :D
