pyspades

The pyspades project provides an open and feature-packed server implementation for Ace of Spades and allows for great customizability with extensions and scripts.

Uses Python, Twisted and Cython (for critical code).

For a quickstart guide on running the server implementation, see QuickStart.

Status

Server

pyspades has a mature and stable server implementation. The configuration file also has a lot more options than the regular server. It is fully compatible with 0.75.

For a list of commands, see Commands.

pyspades has:

Many administrator features
A lot of epic commands
A remote console (using SSH)
Map rotation
Map metadata (name, version, author, and map configuration)
Map extensions (water damage, etc.)
A map generator
An IRC client for managing your server
A JSON query webserver
A status server with map overview
Server/map scripts
Airstrikes
Melee attacks with the pickaxe
New gamemodes (deathmatch / runningman)
Rollback feature (rolling back to the original map)
Spectator mode
Dirt grenades
Platforms with buttons
Ban subscribe service
Statistics (for highscores on http://aos.mp2.dk)
A ton of other features

pyspades has been tested on Linux, Win32/64, FreeBSD and OS X so far, but should work on any appropriate platform with Python, Twisted and a compiler available.

Map editor

This side project has reached a stage where it is generally useful. It can be found in tools/editor/run.py in the repository, and since it uses Qt, it should work cross-platform. For win32 users, there are download links to the left.

See MapEditorTips for help on using the editor.
