Looks good to me - I'll add a link to the dopewars pages. Looking at your formula, I see you had to work around a couple of issues in the makefiles. That's probably because 1.5.12 uses an ancient version of autotools - everything in SVN is updated to use much newer autotools so hopefully this workaround should no longer be necessary once 1.5.13 comes out. One question though: your formula depends on gtk+-quartz, but I notice you disable the GUI in configure - so you shouldn't need GTK+, right?

Hi all, I sent an email to Ben about this, just last night (something or other AM GMT), but he hasn't replied yet. I thought you guys might be interested to know that dopewars is finally available on the Homebrew package manager. Here's the link: https://github.com/phySi0/homebrew-dopewars. - حبيب الامين - |

I've just released version 1.5.12 of dopewars. This security bugfix release corrects a potential exploit against the Windows server, which was not fully patched by the 1.5.11 release.

Er, no: %d inserts an integer into the string. I suggest you look at the printf manpage. I've added a %Txx type, which is very similar to %s, but which supports alternate translations.

Hey Ben, A question for you from a programmer here. Now the way you have this "%d" set up does this represent any drug in the reptoire so for instance, say you have a drug called "meth" then when this %d come out in the string variable it then goes and looks in the DrugName[whatever].name="whatever" string? |

Where can I find the sounds or how can I tell if they are installed? I am on a Linux system and did a "locate hit.wav" and came up empty handed. Also in the documentation it may be wise to make a separate tarball with all the sounds unless the game actually installs. them. From the way it sounds though these are separate files. |

Hi there list, My name is Scott. I subscribed to the list a few days ago. Glad to find a dopewars game for Linux. However, I have a couple of questions I think I can wrap it all in to one though. If I want to have the bank and loanshark at different locations can I just change the numbetr after the = sign for these to take affect and place them in the proper location stanza? |

I've just released dopewars version 1.5.9. This is largely a bug fix release (there was a slightly annoying crash bug with version 1.5.8 which occurred in some circumstances when you clicked on the "drop drugs" button in the graphical client). There are also, however, some minor improvements to the text-mode client, primarily to allow it to work better on screens which aren't 80x24. If you find any bugs with this new version, use the "Bugs" link at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dopewars/ to report them.

What's new in version 1.5.8? - Quique has kindly provided a Spanish translation - Robin Kohli of www.19.5degs.com has provided a default set of sounds - On Windows XP systems, the new-look controls are now used - I now build for RedHat 8.0 systems, i.e. with GTK+2 - Unicode should now be used throughout the program, when using GTK+2 under Unix or under Windows NT/2000/XP systems. UTF-8 is used for all network messages, so different clients and servers should now be much more interoperable. (This is implemented as a network ability, so when talking to a client or server without the "UTF8" ability, all messages will be translated into the locale's default encoding to maintain backwards compatibility.) - I've removed the separate dopewars-esd RPM. The ESD plugin is now included in the main RPM, as are the default sounds, so everything should "just work" when installed. SDL is still in a separate package, however, as it's quite possible to have a full-featured RedHat box without having the SDL libraries installed. - I don't make Alpha RPMs any more. If you're still using RedHat on an Alpha, then you should be able to rebuild the source RPM. RedHat seem to have given up on any new releases for the Alpha architecture, and I no longer have access to any RedHat/Alpha boxes (they all run Debian now ;) As always, let me know if you manage to break anything.

This would be quite tricky to do with client-server games. Either you save the game on the client, which makes cheating trivial, or you save the game on the server, which would require players to authenticate (as you suggest). Authentication is difficult to do securely, and I'm not sure I really see the point. If someone else writes the code though, it'll probably go in. ;) Ben --=20 be...@be... http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/~ben/ "Wit is educated insolence." - Aristotle |

What's new in version 1.5.7?
- Sound support. This uses the ESD or SDL libraries on Unix systems, and
the native Windows multimedia system on Win32. If building from source
code, the configure script should detect the available sound
libraries. If you're installing from the binary RPMs, you'll need to
install both the standard "dopewars" RPM and one of the two sound
plugin RPMs. Once it's up and running, you can choose which sound
system to use with the -u or --plugin command line option.
I don't provide any sound files in the distribution, partly because
WAVs are big, and partly because there aren't really enough
copyright-free sounds available. If anybody can provide suitable
sounds, I can include them in future versions as an additional
download.
To use sounds, specify the full pathnames of the WAVs in your config
file with the Sounds.JoinGame, Sounds.Jet, etc. variables (see the
SOUNDS structure in dopewars.h for a full list). Suggestions for other
events that need sounds are welcomed.
- It should no longer be necessary to run dopewars -C to create a high
score file for a new installation; a suitable file is created
automatically now if the existing file is 0 bytes in size.
- For security reasons, dopewars now drops any privileges very early on,
before reading the configuration files. This means that if you want to
read a high score file other than ${datadir}/dopewars.sco then it must
be readable by users - any setuid/setgid privilege will not be
honoured.
- You can now save the configuration from a server in exactly the same
way as it's currently done by the graphical client - use the "save"
command.
