How to figure out git revision from which client is built

[doomista]

Hi, I am trying to setup an RPi server after a long time and even though I can build it just fine, I get a server/client mismatch when I try to connect to it. I tried using version tagged with 3.1 from this repo: https://hg.osdn.net/view/zandronum/zandronum-stable/ and latest client from the Download page.

Server has version 3.1-R-300101-0000
Client has version 3.1-R211211-2135

Is there a way to figure out from which commit the client was built so I can use the same for building the server? I am planning a LAN party with Macs involved and I can't compile those clients for myself.

run the binary then open the ingame console and use either the 'version_info' or 'gameversion' ccmds

Thanks! 'gameversion' command was the thing I was looking for. It seems I had to confuse files along the way, because the commit from client is the one tagged as 3.1 on Mercurial. It works now.

Server has version 3.1-R-300101-0000

FWIW this suggests the server was not built from the Mercurial repository and is therefore missing its commit info - note how the version string is a date for midnight on January 1st 20-negative-30, aka 1970-01-01 00:00, aka zero. Zandronum should be built from the repo and not source archives etc because otherwise this happens.

That could be it. I didn't want to bother with Mercurial the first time around so I just downloaded archive based on the tag. Didn't know the version depends on git.
