- <li>Server types
- </h4></a>
-
- Netrek has spawned many variants, most of which can be played using the
- standard clients. On the <a href="http://metaserver.us.netrek.org:1080">
- Metaserver list</a>, the last character on the right denotes the
- server type.
- <p>
-
- This is a listing of currently active variants. They're vaguely ordered by
- popularity.
- <p>
-
- <dl>
- <dt><strong>Vanilla (Metaserver code B)</strong>
- <dd>Also known as Bronco or Guzzler code. These
- servers are based on the orignal code, Terence Chang's bronco code, or Nick
- Trown's New Vanilla release. They are not all identical but they have
- minimal modifications.
-
- <dt><strong>Paradise (Metaserver code P)</strong>
- <dd>These servers use the NetrekII/Paradise source.
- Paradise servers can be configured to many settings, including simulating a
- regular Vanilla server. The source code release includes an expanded galaxy,
- impluse/warp differentiation, suns, extra ships, and more. You need to
- use the Paradise client to play on most Paradise servers.
-
- <dt><strong>Hockey (Metaserver code H)</strong>
- <dd>Netrek hockey mode. The moost fun you can have on ice
- without actually being on it. Teams of players try to shoot (pressor)
- the Puck (a robot) into the other teams' goal.
-
- <dt><strong>Chaos (Metaserver code C)</strong>
- <dd>These servers include modifications designed to
- make the game chaotic, including galaxy-class ships, free plasmas, unlimited
- starbases, pass-through walls, and more.
-
- <dt><strong>Dogfight (Metaserver code F)</strong>
- <dd>These are servers designed with dogfighting
- tournaments in mind. The code is still rather buggy, but getting better.
-
- <dt><strong>Base Practice (Metaserver code unknown)</strong>
- <dd> These are servers designed to allow
- people to practice playing starbases. They feature programmable robot oggers.

- <li>Metaservers
- </h4></a>
-
- A Metaserver is a server about servers. You can find out information
- about active games, server types, current players, and more. There are
- two ways to use metaservers; most clients support a -m option that
- will call up a metaserver and give you a list of active games to click on.
- The other is to use telnet to the metaserver port to get the full listing.
- Port 3521 is probably the most useful. There is also a WWW interface at port
- 1080.
-
- <p>
-
- The default metaserver on older clients is usually csuchico, which has closed;
- to change this, put the line:
-
- <pre>
- metaserver: metaserver.netrek.org
- </pre>
-
- in your .xtrekrc.
