I’ll have you know my kingdom is spam-free. That’s not to say the spam is free, but rather, should you spam, your head will be mounted on a spike above the moat gates absolutely free!
All of the above contact information was provided by the individuals themselves for the purpose of sharing with the community. No heads need be severed on this day good sir.
For privacy reasons, it’s not a good idea to share databases without first making some changes.
Code wise, some improvements would need to be made to add better encryption so it’s not possible to determine user passwords with a copy of the database.
Also, since the database contains personal information, such as names and email addresses, there are likely some complicated legal rules… People trust and agree to share their information with the server host with the reasonable expectation it will not be distributed. It’s a grey area when we’re talking about sharing it for another Battle City Server, but it would still be best to first update the user agreement and send out a notification of the upcoming change before going ahead and doing it.
Another option would be to completely sanitize the database before sharing it. That is, remove all personal information such as names, email addresses, etc…and keep only accounts and statistics. This would still require the code changes mentioned above to protect passwords, but would simplify sharing Battle City specific info (points, stats, admins, and other items that do not uniquely identify individuals)
Points, ranks & administrator accounts are currently all server specific. These things are saved in the database, and every server has its own database. For example, you were an administrator on my server, so whenever I host my server you will have access to that account, but when you login elsewhere, you will not.
It would be nice to have a central hub/database, so that players could use one account for any server, but that’s a whole other project 🙂

@sandbag I have always run my Battle City Server on Linux using WINE. In all tests, this has always performed better than running the server directly on Windows (at least with the virtual dedicated servers offered with GoDaddy).
Like @faix mentioned, there is no version that will run directly on Linux at this time. I wish there were, this would be a more than welcome feature! As an open source game, compatibility with Linux would be very beneficial.
True story.
For more details, see this post about the server.

Weebo’s glory days are long gone I’m afraid. I currently use the good for nothing crustacean as a lawn mower/yard ornament at the bottom of my bottomless pit.
Weebo last communicated with the outside world 7 months ago after he escaped my under sea prison by reproducing a-sexually in order to induce a rapid evolutionary process to grow crab claws…
I’m confident this time he will remain trapped for eternity. While he could attempt another evolutionary escape, he appears very happy mowing the lawn and talking with the garden gnomes. It’s quite sad really, I think he’s finally lost his mind within the confines of his crustacious exo-skeleton.
The last post from @rushing is 3 months old! Dude knows how to party!
