Zandronum

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.

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.
