SVN public Alpha 24 Version on MacOS UI problem

[Langbart]

 

• I downloaded the public SVN Code (wiki/BuildInstructionsGettingTheCode).
• I followed the Building Instructions (wiki/BuildInstructions). Two library problems with gnutls & icu. Found the solution here (#5729)
• Workspaces. Run test & Start pyrogenesis. (Added Delenda Est from Github to the mod folder)

Problem: The game window looks like in the picture below. Everything is clickable but you have to operate through the black by trial&error. 

I read the article wiki/ReportingErrors, so I chose to create a new topic in the Bug Reports forum. 

• interestinglog.html is empty (no errors or warnings)

Build Version: Alpha 0.0.24 - 03.05.2020 , MacOS Catalina 10.15.4

Hey @Langbart thanks for trying. I believe this a sdl2 bug because we use an outdated version. You could try modifying the build script to a more recent one.

[Langbart]

-SDL2_VERSION="SDL2-2.0.5"
+SDL2_VERSION="SDL2-2.0.12"

• modified the build script
• updated the library
• Workspaces. Run test & Start pyrogenesis. Problem solved

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: For almost all library files there are more updates available, I thought this overview might be helpful. If you want me to update the file "build-osx-libs.sh" with the latest libraries and replace http with https. I think I can do that. I am only hesitating because of Krinkle's comment on the ICU update.

Well obviously we will be gratefull if you could do phabricator patch and review others https://code.wildfiregames.com/feed/query/all/ because very rarely we have MacOS user who is also developer and who can review low programming stuff also spidermonkey and wxwidgets library would be nice to upgrade but it is difficult because  on different platforms it has different errors and a lot of code is based on interaction with those libraries so sometimes some parts would need to be rewritten then there is a matter of commiting since library updates can commit and review either @Itms or the other guy from last report. As you mentioned you are familiar with krinkles proposals on fabricator, are you? Or you can look at other library updates from other members https://code.wildfiregames.com/D2689.

Hello Asterix, 

Thank you for the reply. Well, I studied your forum account and found a MacUser who had the same problem to create the game. Stan wants the WXWIDGETS  developer version 3.1.3 instead of the 3.0.5 stable version. Which one shall I send to the phabricator (https://code.wildfiregames.com)? As pointed out in the "build-osx-libs.sh" file regarding GnuTLS, wouldn't it be wise to update Nettle and GMP as well?

# gloox requires GnuTLS, GnuTLS requires Nettle and GMP
GMP_VERSION="gmp-6.1.2"
NETTLE_VERSION="nettle-3.5.1"
# NOTE: remember to also update LIB_URL below when changing version
GNUTLS_VERSION="gnutls-3.6.13"
GLOOX_VERSION="gloox-1.0.22"

 

 PS: While reading through your forum activity I found out about ForkAD, really sorry about the schism.

I'm not sure what you imply by that. I guess you need a more recent version to support the Dark mode theme.

I believe there is already a patch by @Krinkle for gnutls

mifht be nice to update gmp and nettle libs if we can guarantee it doesnt break the game

It's regarding the article "Trying to compile game on Mac" from 27th November 2019. I had the understanding you would rather use the latest develper version in this case.

Given that Mac OS Catalina was released afterwards I'd have a tendency to say we should go for the latest in this case.

I meant for the SDL2 But I guess updating libs do not hurt if there are no breaking changes

I've had the same issue, thank you for the clue about sdl2, do you know if there is patch in phabricator for this?

-SDL2_VERSION="SDL2-2.0.5"
+SDL2_VERSION="SDL2-2.0.12"

If i may advise for now, follow patches from @Krinkle and @Itms  on phab, unfortunately for sdl there is not such patch because it has similar problem as spidermonkey because that library is bit heavily integrated into the codebase so it is harder to update it than libraries that are less dependant for codebase to function, because some parts will need to be rewritten. @wraitii

I noticed that switching to another window / screen and then switching back to the game window restores the view.

But there is other problem with old SDL, it is impossible to enter any text, for example: to log into Lobby or change Player Name for Multiplayer
