Announcing the Sylverant PSO Server Project

[BlueCrab]

Even though the day is almost over, and its not exactly what I was planning for the occasion of 9/9/09, I'd like to announce the Sylverant PSO Server Project.

Basically, Sylverant is an open-source Phantasy Star Online server written for Unix-like operating systems (Linux and Mac OS X are where it has been tested so far). My original plan was to have a fully-functional server running today, however a rather nasty bug exists when running the server under Linux, and the machine I'm running the server on runs Linux (thanks to GrizzlyAdams for use of the machine); so no running server today, sorry.

Anyway, if you care to know more and read about the project, visit http://sylverant.twihb.net/ . The current source code is available from the Google Code project linked to from there.

This is awesome, though I'd really like to have some software to set up my own server.

Regardless, this is great news!!!!

Thats great... i have a BBA, but never managed to connect to any of the homebrew servers neither with my original PSOv2 or the hacked one with the IPs preconfigured. I can get online though, XDP works and Quake3 works.

So i'll be happy to try it out.
