📜️ "A libre, multiplayer fantasy RPG" 📜️
Crossfire is an open source, cooperative multiplayer graphical RPG and adventure game. Since its initial release, Crossfire has grown to encompass over 150 monsters, about 3000 maps to explore, an elaborate magic system, 13 races, 15 character classes, a system of skills, and many artifacts and treasures. Crossfire is based in a medieval fantasy world and is similar to other games of this genre.
In the words of its original author Frank Tore Johansen:
Crossfire is a multi-player graphical arcade and adventure game made for the X Windows systems environment. It has certain flavours from other games, especially gauntlet and the rogue-like games (Nethack, Moria, Angband, and Ragnarok.) Any number of players can move around in their own window, finding and using items and battling monsters. They can choose to cooperate or compete in the same "world".
Since its initial release, Crossfire has grown to encompass over 150 monsters, 3000 areas to explore, an elaborate magic system, 13 races, 15 character classes, and many powerful artifacts scattered far and wide. Set in a fantastical medieval world, it blends the style of Gauntlet, NetHack, Moria, and Angband.
2.1 What do I need to run Crossfire?
You need a client, and to choose a server to connect to. There are a number of public servers that you can play on, you will be able to choose one of these from the metaserver list when you start a client. Each server has it's own 'world' so if you want to play the same character over a period of time, you will want to pick one server and stick to it.
Alternatively you can run your own server, see section 4 of the FAQ for how to do this.

🌍️ Wikipedia:
Crossfire is a free and open source software cross-platform multiplayer online role-playing video game. Crossfire features a tile based graphic system with a pseudo-isometric perspective. All content is licensed under the GNU GPL-2.0-or-later. The client and server will run in Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, IRIX, and an array of other platforms.
Description
Crossfire is a multi-player online role-playing game; it can be described as a cross-over of the ideas of Nethack, Ultima and Gauntlet.
Development history
Crossfire's development history started in mid-1992. It originally started as a Gauntlet clone developed by Frank Tore Johansen at the University of Oslo in Norway. After a name change in that same year and brief hosting time at University of California, Berkeley (Jul-1999 to Jan-2001), the project now resides at SourceForge where development continues.
Crossfire started with just one indoor map and then increased to 4 indoor maps with one-way portals from level 1 to level 4. Upon clearing the last level, there was nothing more for the player to do. Spells were limited to magic bullet (the first spell), fireball, magic missile, burning hands and lightning bolt. Later, when two-way portals were implemented, development and content contribution expanded greatly.
Crossfire has since grown to encompass over 150 monsters, about 3000 maps to explore, an elaborate magic system, 13 races, 15 character classes, a system of skills, and many artifacts and treasures.
As of July 2018 the game is under active development by the community.
Gameplay
Any number of players can connect and play on the public servers, finding and using items and battling monsters. They can cooperate or compete in the same world which includes both static and randomly generated content. It is a client and server based game with the ability to be played over the Internet, on a local network setting, or on a single computer setup.
Crossfire is based in a medieval fantasy world. Players can choose any of 13 races from dragons (fire hatchlings) to quetzalcoatl as well as the more average human and elf. They can also play as one of 15 classes or professions which range from alchemist to a monk to a warrior. The game has a comprehensive skill system that attributes experience points to each skill, instead of the character earning general experience points.
Once the character creation process is complete, players enter the game world and pick from the two starting towns, Scorn or Navar. Although there are many quests, the game leans towards hack and slash adventuring with other players. The game world is quite large, making exploration a key gameplay mechanic.
Influence on other online games
Crossfire was used as the base of a number of commercial and free MMORPGs, such as Wyvern, a Java rewrite, Graal Kingdoms, which closed its code and content, and Daimonin, which only used the server code but features an isometric view and a different project philosophy focused on a single main server. Deliantra is another fork of the Crossfire project, primarily aiming to improve the quality of its code and in-game content.
Reception
In 1999 Crossfire was featured by Linux Journal. The game was downloaded over 550,000 times from SourceForge.net between 2000 and April 2020.

Selon les termes de son auteur original, Frank Tore Johansen :
Crossfire est un jeu d'arcade et d'aventure graphique multi-joueurs conçu pour l'environnement X Windows. Il reprend certaines caractéristiques d'autres jeux, en particulier gauntlet et les jeux de type rogue (Nethack, Moria, Angband et Ragnarok). Un nombre illimité de joueurs peuvent se déplacer dans leur propre fenêtre, trouver et utiliser des objets et combattre des monstres. Ils peuvent choisir de coopérer ou de s'affronter dans le même "monde".
Depuis sa sortie initiale, Crossfire s'est développé et comprend aujourd'hui plus de 150 monstres, 3000 zones à explorer, un système de magie élaboré, 13 races, 15 classes de personnages et de nombreux et puissants artefacts disséminés aux quatre coins du monde. Situé dans un monde médiéval fantastique, il mélange le style de Gauntlet, NetHack, Moria et Angband.
2.1 De quoi ai-je besoin pour faire fonctionner Crossfire ?
Vous avez besoin d'un client et de choisir un serveur auquel vous connecter.
Il existe un certain nombre de serveurs publics sur lesquels vous pouvez jouer. Vous pourrez choisir l'un d'entre eux dans la liste du métaserveur lorsque vous démarrerez un client. Chaque serveur a son propre "monde", donc si vous voulez jouer le même personnage pendant un certain temps, vous devrez choisir un serveur et vous y tenir.
Vous pouvez également gérer votre propre serveur, voir la section 4 de la FAQ pour savoir comment faire.

🚀️ LANCEMENT DU JEU
▸ Classique :
• Si vous l'avez installé à partir d'un paquet ou installé dans les répertoires système : [Alt+F2] et son nom ou $ crossfire-client
• 📜️ Préambule :
⚬ 1ere édition : le ? sous Debian. Par : goupildb. ⏱️ Durée du test : 5 minutes. 🎯️ Objectif : Initialisation de l'entrée, tests et premières impressions.
• 🫕️ Installation :
▸ (✔ v. 1.11.0) Paquet Debian : FONCTIONNEL.
• 🌻️ Premières impressions :
L'écran du jeu est tout petit et au centre de l'interface, le client OpenGL semble améliorer légèrement l'interface.
Je n'ai malheureusement pas eut le temps d'explorer sérieusement ce jeu et son monde qui - d'après mes lectures, est immense et riche :(
• 🕹️ Conclusion :
Impression globale : 👍️
La 1ere impression m'avait laissé un peu déçu - faute d'y investir suffisamment de temps et d'explorer sérieusement son monde et son gameplay, ce qui n'est pas sérieux de ma part.
Néanmoins mes lectures sur ce jeu m'ont laissé entrevoir sa richesse - à voir ultérieurement, d'autant que de nombreuses améliorations ont eu lieu depuis.
👏️ ❤️ Un grand bravo et merci (notamment pour la version Linux !) à son/ses auteur(s) !
