Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to start a local LAN server. Is there a separate program that runs to start the server? I gathered from another post that hedgewars-server needs to be started, however I don't seem have that on my system.
Thanks

openSuse 12.3 KDE 64bit

Hit the icon with the hedgehogs battling on the earth, from there you can either join the official server or create a LAN game.

Thanks for the reply.
Once I click that and select "Play local network game" I only have 3 choices: Update, Specify, & Connect. I don't have an option to create/start a new LAN game.

Er, are you sure?
There should be a "Start server button" button right....

Your package may not have been built with the server.
You can certainly build it yourself though.

You can adapt:

You can possibly also file a bug w/ your distro about packaging server support.
