+Most are hosted on https://sourceforge.net . \\
+When using the search input box there, it brings around 20 hits. \\
+Unfortunately around half of the Crossfire related projects stopped submitting files after a short time, \\
+indicating, that the Crossfire source code base is too large to work on as a single programmer.
-  - Wograld : Started with version 1.9, too few developers, no current downloads, cvs archive access through rsync, difficulties with bugs in the old client crashing the server, forum exists no more.

+Home page : https://www.atrinik.org , pretty huge in red colours, similar to crossfire.real-time.com . \\
- FIXME : link addresses on sourceforge
+GitHub : https://github.com/atrinik/atrinik , says "RPG with 2.5D isometric graphics,
+with concepts based on Crossfire and Angelion." .
- [[:download:cvs|Cvs]] access did not work for me, since the source is read-only.
+Seems to deploy the same standard port as Crossfire ( 13327 ) , \\
- Using [[:sourceforge:rsync|rsync]], it needs then the [[https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs|rcs]] package installed, to extract it's `,v' archive files using `rcs co' , which is short for checkout.
+but connection failed using a stock GTK2 1.70.0 Crossfire [[:client]] \\
+to //game.atrinik.org// listed on https://www.atrinik.org/page/servers_list .
- Noteworthy the 9 Stupidities, however they have implemented these.

+==== Crossfire Extended ====
+The Crossfire Extended seems to be split into two projects on Sourceforge :
+  * Release that contains [[:server]] and [[:client]]
+  * Maps and Archetypes
+It appears, that former main map developers like "mikeeusa" had to abandon the Crossfire project, and uploaded their way to SourceForge.
+See also under the section [[:Humor#Maps]] on the [[:humor]] page ..
+=== Server and Clients ===
+The ChangeLog entries suggest, that they were forked already short time after the release of version 1.9.0 of crossfire. \\
+It's main page says :
+>>Contains old features that were loved (but were taken out of regular crossfire) weather generation etc.
+>>A crossfire from another age.
+>>If you like the pre 2008 CF, here it is with lots and lots and lots more maps!
+>>More archtypes and items.
+>>Including full new building sets: germanic, candy-kingdomish/russian, japanese, middle east.
+The source code tarball includes pre-build executables for 64bit kernels.

+==== Daimonin ==
