This utility page is about v0.34.11, an older version of DF. More Info

Dfterm2 is a remote Dwarf Fortress playing software for multiple users through telnet. It has been replaced by Dfterm3, which has similar functions through an easier-to-use web interface.

On linux

You need to compile the program directly from source. To do so you need to install the following packages:

• ICU development libraries
• Boost development libraries (at least version 1.42)
• OpenSSL development libraries
• CMake
• PCRE development libraries
• g++ and usual development tools
• lua ( > 5.1 Doesn't work) (use 5.0)
• git

First, you need to obtain the source code, using the following commands in git:

$ git clone git://genodeen.net/dfterm2
$ cd dfterm2
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Next, you have to use CMake to configure the building system:

$ cmake .

Thirdly, use this command to start the compiling:

$ make

If compilation failed, visit the DFterm2 page on the Bay12 forums for support.

The final step is to add an administrator account using

$ ./dfterm2_configure --adduser (username) (password) admin 
$ ./dfterm2

To connect to the server from a linux machine, you need to use the following command:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 8000
