The MekWars 3025 Campaign (aka MegaMekNET) is an online game that allows people to arrange and play MegaMek (based on the Classic BattleTech boardgame) in a fully-featured, persistent campaign context.

Play as a Commander in a Great House, a Periphery raider or a Mercenary, taking part in an epic futuristic war for supremacy of the known galaxy. Fight for your faction, defend Davion's ideals or Kurita's honor. Win battles involving hundreds of tons of war machines, tanks, and infantry. Test your mettle against human opponents in desert, boggy, arctic and urban battlefields across hundreds of planets in the Inner Sphere.<includeonly>'''[[MMnet:About|... read more ...]]'''</includeonly></onlyinclude>

The MegaMekNet server has been running since 2002, and as such is the longest-running online BattleTech server. For the recent history of the server, see our [[Past Cycles|past cycles]] and the [[Current Cycle|current cycle]].

* You will need to install the software to play. See the [[installation procedure]] if you haven't already done this.
* Catalyst Game Labs, the company that publishes BattleTech, has a free version of the basic game rules available [http://bg.battletech.com/downloads here]. This is an excellent overview of the majority of the rules used in MegaMek.
* The server has its own rules, regarding accounts, army composition, sportsmanship, and the like, available [[Rules|here]].
* You can jump right into the action, if you like, but if you want to get some tips on how to play well, see the [[basic strategies]] article, or the [http://www.mekwars.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=8084 tactical guides post] on the forum.[[Getting_Started|... read more ...]]

On this page, I will be putting all information that SOs need to upgrade from one version to the next.

'''Upgrading to v0.7.0.0'''

Tracker configuration was moved from serverconfig.dat to campaignconfig.dat. This allows us to change our tracker information without having to reboot the server. You can find an explanation of the new [[MW_Tracker_Menu|Tracker Menu]] on this wiki.

This is also to accomodate a new tracker. Right now, I have only replicated the existing functionality, so the UUID you generate in this panel is of no use. Going forward, this new tracker (HPGNet) will facilitate communication between servers, so SOs and user bases can talk to each other, help each other out, etc.

'''Upgrading to v0.7.0.1'''

There are several new server-side libraries. Make sure your lib directory is up to date.

Also, new admin.jar

'''Upgrading to Client v0.7.0.2'''
New version of MegaMek. That has several graphical requirements that need attention on the MW side. A forcegenerator folder was added to the data directory, and lots of images were updated.

Hi, I'm Spork, current lead developer on the [[MekWars | MekWars]] project, which means I'm responsible for the most recent of the bugs involved. I'm also an [[Staff|administrator]] on [[MMNet_Campaign | MegaMekNET]] and provide the hardware and internet access for the server. While you will seldom find me on the server, due to an overwhelmingly busy life, and even more seldom will you find me fighting, I maintain a forum presence, and you are free to ask me questions there.<br />

Please note that I do *not* have anything to do with campaign settings, I will not set your fluff for you (unless you say something resoundingly stupid in chat), I only code MekWars (not MegaMek), and I'm in general a cranky old bastard.

You can find me on Twitter ([https://twitter.com/OfficialMekWars @OfficialMekWars]) and frequently on the MMNet Discord chat, which is, frankly, the easiest way to raise my attention.
