  5. Numerus - a Statistics Bot

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    The GUI scripting reference might be helpful. The only feasible way to do a graph with the current system would be by using the <repeat> element with some size manipulations similar to what options.js does during initialization. That said; at best the graph drawing code would be a mess. The best solution would be a C++ extension, but if you aren't familiar with C++ this might work in the mean time.

  8. [Mainly Fixed] Randomly jumping rectangle area coloured but without texture (and more)

    in Bug reports

    I think big screenshot has been fixed now. The errors from your log are:

    It looks like a hardware issue, and according to Wikipedia (first paragraph in the linked section) your graphics card doesn't support hardware vertex processing. Maybe what you are seeing is artifacts of doing the vertex processing on the CPU?

    It would be nice if someone else who is more familiar with the renderer could jump in.

  11. [Split] Mod Manager -> Mod Downloader + Mod Configurator (Modification, Addons & Maps)

    in Game dev

    Posted

    I was heavily involved in the lobby, but I'm not exactly volunteering to make a mod manager (my hands are quite full at the moment). As far as functionality goes, I would suggest starting with a simple offline in-game mod enabler/disabler before going into more complex use cases (online functionality is a lot more complex than you may think).

    Again though, starting with a clear design is a big part of making great software.

  14. User Interface concepts

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    Posted

    I usually use the mouse wheel to choose from dropdowns (though that didn't work in our GUI last time I tried).

    I've added support for using the scrollwheel in SVN.

    Personally, I agree with FeXoR on the civilization selection issue and I think that a good contextual help system would work better over a dedicated page. But I think this discussion is on the brink of descending to a heated argument which is silly because:

    • The GUI department doesn't have the resources to implement major features any time soon.
    • This is a trivial issue. Come on, 28 posts on this alone. Really?
    As for Pureon's new mockups: I really like them, but the yellow buttons distastefully remind me of our first GUI version.

  17. RUSSIAN Remarks and offers

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I found Google translate did a slightly better job translating from Russian:

    Kind all time of the day, I'm from Russia, I have some remarks about the game and offer in general the proposal to make Russian localization (I wanted to put myself but did not find the file with the language), the remark at a skirmish with the enemy war like vysnut ie as game lag, but I think the animation or something like that

    English:

    To reply to you comment on game lag, we are aware that the game can slow down significantly in large battles and are working to make it faster.

    Russian (via Google Translate):

    Чтобы ответить вам комментировать игру лагом, мы понимаем, что игра может существенно замедлится в крупных сражениях и работаем, чтобы сделать это быстрее.

  21. Linux Mint 16 BUG alpha 15

    in Help & Feedback

    Posted

    I use Linux Mint but I haven't problem with this Nature. The only main problem I have is I haven't sound..

    A question for Dev. Team. How I can have the SVN in Linux Mint 16 is build over Ubuntu is almost a Ubuntu .

    I think Linux Mint is similar enough to Ubuntu that you should be able to just use the Ubuntu installation instructions on trac.

    So as soon as i start a game i get a crash. But if i supress the BUG i can still play. Only thing is the screen will not return to full screen.

    You can use Alt+Enter to switch between windowed mode and full screen. If you don't suppress the warning and just click continue, does it keep popping back up? Also, it would be nice to know how you installed 0AD (package manager or compiled from source).

  22. 0 A. D. on old computers

    in Help & Feedback

    Posted

    At this point 0AD should "run" on just about any computer. But, I put run in quotes because on anything older than a few years, 0 A.D. would be painfully slow.

    Edit: I looked up the specs on your laptop... and I have a nearly identical laptop (Shipped with Win 98 I think) with only a few different perprentials (floppy drive in a laptop FTW!), faster clock speeds (Overclocking!), and more RAM (Salvage!). 0 A.D. barely managed to start on it. I would really recommend getting a new laptop, I think ~3 year old laptops off ebay or craigslist go for pretty cheap.

  24. Multiplayer

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    The problem is, someone is using his name and is destroying his reputation by enabling "cheats" on his server whereas the original LeRag can't host. This scares me a bit too that someone could use my name. I would like to know that if a name in capitol letters and the same name in small letters will get registered separately? For example: My name in game is MMMTheGamer. So, if someone uses the name mmmthegamer to register, will he be successful??

    And +1 for "Ready" system.

    All usernames are actually lowercase on the backend, the lobby just automatically displays using the casing you typed in on the login screen. For example, if I registered with the username "Josh", I could login using "josh", "jOsH", or even "JOSH". And as the nick system is obfuscated in SVN, you should have much less reason to worry in the next release.

  25. Versions

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    Posted

    That's a topic we have to dig into anyway for our MOD - or rather kind of feature development branch. :D

    IBM:

    I have found this too, that's our best bet:

    As a start: Windows VisualStudio -> Windows Eclipse (keeping up compatibility)

    http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/cross-platform-cc-development-with-eclip/232300575?pgno=2

    Then it's becoming more difficult: Win VS -> UNIX and Win Eclipse (keeping up compatibility is difficult here due to the GUI that pyrogenesis uses, but we must give it a try).

    http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/cross-platform-cc-development-with-eclip/232300575?pgno=3

    We might not succeed very quickly in keeping up compatibility to Visual Studio, but we will get pyrogenesis to work in Eclipse on Linux somehow (as historic_bruno said this will require heavy changing where the VisualStudio libraries were used).

    If we fail, we still have a Virtual machine where we can run VisualStudio. 0 A.D. should not use VisualStudio because it's not Open source, but I understand that this is for historical reasons and I'm not angry or such, because no doubt VStudio might not be a bad choice.

    I think you might be a little confused here, most of the dev team actually uses Linux and compiles 0 A.D. with a completely open source toolchain. See BuildInstructions#Linux. (as a side note towards some of your quotes, we don't use Visual Studio's UI development stuff at all)
