Didn't they release server binaries/sources?
Of course! I even compiled them yesterday myself. With two results: The server seems to be running just fine (as far as I can see, when just connecting to it, so I immediately put it on my personal gaming-server-machine for further use...
).
But the client is different matter. It does compile, but it does not run. I've already written into a thread concearning
a smiliar topic, but haven't gotten a response until now. I also tried to use the precompiled windows-binary, but that leaves me with two things: Noone else to play, as there is no public server running (except mine, when the machine is turned on for a view hours at a time, sometimes not for weeks). And with a client that only plays some sounds but by far not all. Others already complained about
this problem, but as there hasn't been
any update for at least 2 years.
When you look at the
project-site, you will realize, that it hasn't been changed since March 2012. So from where I stand, nobody is maintaining the code any more. A look into
their forums reveals, that they haven't been used in quite some time, as well. I'd love to see more going on, but considering that the client doesn't seem to run/compile properly, no public server is running, I believe, you won't find many players to play. Probably only yourself.
(Just for the sake of the idea: I'd love to put up an ufo2000-server, but not at my home, as it is the case right now. And renting an internet-server for that, is a financial question...)
