9. How to install and use BSW client You can play in BrettspielWelt using a browser only but if you find yourself spending more time there it definitely makes sense to install the BSW client program to your computer. Some good reasons: - Game graphics loads faster - You can save your nickname and password to a profile file and speed up start - And most importantly: You can change language settings, tweak menus and keyboard combination so that all necessary game commands, places and persons are easy to access. You can install a BSW client to your computer from here: http://www.brettspielwelt.de/Hilfe/Client/?nation=en On first start it takes longer time to start the BSW client because it has load game updates from server. If you experience any graphics problems, restart the client and try again. If the server status is red on the client splash screen, the server cannot be contacted and you have to wait before it comes online again. You can adjust the client to fit your needs better by editing a file called brettspielwelt.prop in the BSW client install directory. It makes sense at least to change the language to English and probably also put your nickname and password in. Some things you can change by editing brettspielwelt.prop - Client default language (Nation = en) - Your nickname and password (Name, Password) - Start town/room (Room) - Menus (Menu) - Keyboard combinations (FKey) - Size of client window (WinWidth, WinHeight) and it’s position on screen (WinPosX, WinPosY) - Color of all message windows etc. You can find more information about modifying the .prop file here: http://brettspielwelt.de/Hilfe/Client/PropDatei/?nation=en An important note about BSW client (this applies to browser version too) is that firewall port 7670 has to be open for the client to work. If you’re using shared network (NAT) every player has to use registered nicknames. 10. BrettspielWelt town system Brettspielwelt is organized around a medieval town theme. In the beginning you might be more interested about pure gaming but after you have played a little bit it’s probably a good idea to learn a bit more about the BSW town system. Towns are used to form communities in BSW. When you register to BSW you become automatically a member of town called ARMfeld. Players of ARMfeld are considered living in countryside and they don’t have any privileges or obligations the players in towns have. It is not necessary to belong to any town to play in BSW so why should you join a town? ! ""# $ %"
The benefits towns offer to players are: - A more limited community that might share your interests, speak the same language (e.g. English) or be from the same country as you. - Towns have their own chat channels and you can find playing company or persons that can teach you new games from your own town. - Townspeople can build buildings into towns and run games in them. They can also belong to guilds and participate to tournaments between towns. - You can participate in the decision making of that town and become one of the town officers. Townspeople have to pay taxes if they want to live there. In practice taxes are paid when player plays regularly games in the game rooms town offers. You don’t have to play massive amount of games if you want to belong to a town. Some towns also have mills and forges that create more income for that particular town. There are currently tens of towns in Brettspielwelt. Some are big and some are small. Take your time to learn players in BSW and see what group has the same interests as you. If they belong to a certain town it might be a good idea to consider joining that town. You can find more information about the town “Meta game” from here: http://www.brettspielwelt.de/MetaSpiel/?nation=en 11.
