Hi @ all, First of all: Thanks for that great gaming experience! I was definetly = inspired by gltron and am looking forward to contribute to the game = develop - after i successfully compiled the source...which is still kind = of a trouble. I have not much experience in CVS source codes, but i = checked out successfully and tried to compile the source using Visual = Studio 6 (gltron.dsw project file). Besides some missing files (for = instance geom.c now in the attic folder) i had trouble getting the = headers of SDL/SDL_sound/LIBPNG and ZLIB being recognised. Now my = compiler turns up with lots of "unresolved external". Looks like i have = wrong libraries? Any help (your compiling stategy) most welcome! Here is my error debug: Linking...

Hello, I'm very happy to finally announce the release GLtron 0.62. It doesn't include networking (that is still being worked on, though), but it has many improvements over the previously released 0.61. I encourage everyone to upgrade. Some of the changes: * better & faster shadows * red outlines on the recognizer * better 3D sound effects * sound effects for player's lightcycle * sound effects for recognizer flying overhead * support for 'switching songs' (add your own music) * mp3 support * joystick support * better 2d map (3 sizes) * more intuitive config options If you already downloaded the 0.62 pre4 that was released on Saturday, there's no need to download 0.62 again, unless you have a joystick/gamepad and have some problems with it (I included a fix for joysticks which can't be properly calibrated). My thanks to all the people who helped with their feedback on the far too numerous pre-releases & beta versions. Have fun, merry christmas and a happy new year! - Andreas Umbach |

Hello, I'm glad to announce that GLtron 0.62 pre4 is released, and, if no big showstoppers show up, the 'official' GLtron 0.62 will be released on christmas eve (if no bugs are found, they'll be identical - so no need to download it again then). Currently, downloads are for linux & windows, mac downloads will hopefully be available shortly. Windows: http://www.gltron.org/stuff/gltron-0.62-pre4-setup.exe (3.3 MB) Linux: http://www.gltron.org/stuff/gltron-0.62-pre4.sh (4.5 MB) So please test this as hard as you can, and send me e-mail if you find bugs, and also if it works flawlessy. New features include: * better & faster shadows * red outlines on the recognizer * better 3D sound effects * sound effects for player's lightcycle * sound effects for recognizer flying overhead * support for 'switching songs' (add your own files to the music/ dir) * mp3 support * joystick support * better 2d map (3 sizes) * more intuitive config options Thanks for all your support, fanmail & patience - Andreas |

Hi everyone, I fixed the sound system today, and your own cycle, as well as the recognizer, do make a sound now. However, I can't find any suitable wav for the recognizer right now. So if you have one, please send it to me. Greetings, Andreas --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

I've made a few changes to CVS to support Mac OS (other platforms please check to make sure I didn't break anything). The new builds are available here: Mac OS 9: http://icdweb.cc.purdue.edu/~walisser/gltron/GLTron.sit Mac OS X: http://icdweb.cc.purdue.edu/~walisser/gltron/GLTron.dmg.gz |

Hello, GLtron development as gained some momentum again, thanks to Jon Atkins, Todd Kirby, Nicolas Deniaud and Darrell Walisser, who are busy contributing patches, pointing out bugs, maintaining the (upcoming) network branch, assuring cross-platform availability etc. We're almost ready to make a 0.62 release. As the version number indicates, this is mainly a 'maintenance' release. However, tons of bugs have been fixed. Visual appearance has improved. It sports a scripting language now. Tons of more configurable options. Totally new sound engine (can play mp3's now). It's cleaner to work with etc. The current TODO list is at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gltron/gltron/TODO?rev=HEAD&c ontent-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup This is a link into CVS, so the list will always be more or less up-to-date. I'm interested in feedback and comments regarding the TODO list. Send it either to the mailing list: glt...@li... or to me: ma...@da... Which items should definitely be fixed berote the 0.62 release? Is there anything important missing from the TODO? There's no binaries available at this point, but you can fetch the source (3 MB) from http://www.gltron.org/stuff/gltron-0.62pre2.tar.gz The INSTALL file got a bit updated. I suggest you read it. Note that you either need to do a 'make install' or run ./configure with the --enable-localdata switch in order to play. Have fun, - Andreas |

It turns out that the CodeWarrior *does* autodetect C++, I managed to
find this out the hard way but the issue has been resolved. One gotcha
we have to look out for is to put extern "C" around *any* API that is
used in C++, but written in C. It is probably good to do something like
this just to be safe:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
<prototypes>
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

I have checked some fixes into CVS today and additionally built and packaged the OS9 and OSX versions for your testing delight. The most notable fix was for a bug introduced in texture loading by the new load screen. The server seems to be broken on OS 9, I assume because SDLNet doesn't support server sockets on OS 9. Well, the files are in the usual spot: http://icdweb.cc.purdue.edu/~walisser/gltron GLTron-MacOSX-Network.dmg.gz GLTron-Network.sit Regards, Darrell |

ok guys,
I invite you to checkout gltron/art/default on CVS since I fixed a few
things on the fonts=2E
I've been playing a bit at crazy speed ("fast" felt too slow) and it
seems like we have less control over our lightcycle at this speed=2E in
fact this is due to the value used for line_spacing, which is set to 20
by default=2E
I suggest the ability to change this value as a server parameter (range
: 20 max, more is too big, maybe 5 min)=2E
I've set mine to 0 actually and at crazy speed, it feels a lot better -
I suggest you try it in your test network games (since this value can be
changed, allowing support for it in the net code would avoid some
errors), but I'd not suggests allowing to use it since there may be bugs
or something like that=2E
lower values require some getting-used to though, since when doing a
real fast L turn your movement will be a lot smaller=2E
5 feels good also=2E I think that under 5 you don't see much difference=2E I
haven't tried something between 20 and 5, but it will probably show up a
line_spacing limit=2E=2E=2E I don't know the engine good enough to tell but=
=2E=2E (?)
with values below 10, you have a lot finer control over your lightcycle
and can therefore do quick, sharp turns without crashing in a
trail/wall=2E=20
also, it seems like the ability to turn on/off smooth camera turning
when the cycle turns has gone=2E I find this rather bothering, especially
when I'm doing lightning fast L turns near a forthcoming victim and I
guess some people feel the same as me=2E
there's a turn_cycle option in the =2Eini file=2E=2E=2E but if I set it to 0=
=2E
the cycle model is not rotated in any way=2E
can you pleeeeez bring it back Andreas ? :-)

Hi Andreas.=0D
=0D
Attached is a patch against the latest CVS which adds full install rules an=
d passing of the data directory installed to the code by DEFINEing GLTRONDA=
TADIR as the directory.=0D
=0D
It installs the following:=0D
=0D
${datadir}/gltron (defined at ./configure time)=0D
|- data (files from data subdirectory)=0D
| |- music (music files)=0D
|- sounds (sounds files)=0D
|- art (artpacks directory)=0D
|- arcade_spots=0D
|- artpacks=0D
|- default=0D
|- metalTron=0D
=0D
If these install locations are wrong, please change them in the Makefile.am=
's. Also, some sounds (.wav files) are in the data directory and some in t=
he sounds directory in the source. I left them where they were for the ins=
tall. Are the data directory ones old and will be removed later?=0D
=0D
The build process uses a DEFINE to set GLTRONDATADIR to ${datadir}/gltron. =
I have tested some sample code to check this can be read by gltron by modi=
fying file.c to look in this directory. It all worked fine and I could use=
"make install" and get gltron to find some of the files at run time. Howe=
ver I have not provided this in the patch as it was bad code. I thought I =
better leave it you to code how to use the DEFINE properly :-)=0D
=0D
I hope this helps and moves one step nearer to getting "make install" to wo=
rk.=0D
=0D
Yours,=0D

Either approach should be easy enough. The pkgdatadir prefix (where make install would put the data files) is set at configure time (see ./configure --help and look at a Makefile.in for what paths get set). This should be really easy to export as a variable which the code can see. I think the config.h method is cleanest though. It may also clean up some other stuff (sound etc.). >I was thinking about: > >- a configure option where to build a binary that looks in the >executable directory (for the loki-installer binary) >- a variable that holds the install path or prefix See above. automake should do it for you. >I'll add checking of an environment variable again, so the >user can override the compiled in path anyway, if he know's what >he's doing. Agreed. Using the loki installer, you should be able to install the game anywhere, regardless how it was compiled. Maybe rather than an environment variable in the long-term it could be a commnd-line option to gltron (e.g. "gltron --datadir=/usr/local/share/gltron"). That way a loki installer etc. could create a gltron start script which runs gltron with the right options wherever it was installed without people having to know about environment variables. Also, do environment variables work on Win32, MacOS etc? What do you think? Hope these comments are useful. Thanks for integrating the patch - I think it makes building etc. a lot easier. Also, have you any objection to RPMs? I have a simple spec file to build a gltron RPM which may be useful to others. Any thoughts?

Hello, First, thanks to everyone who pointed out the bug. I've had numerous reports from people experiencing a lock-up when two cycles collide. I cannot reproduce the crash on my system, and believe me, I've seen hundreds of cycles crash into each other. But with help from Patrick McCarthy, I was able to reproduce another bug occuring in this situation, that apparently makes your machine crash but not mine. I tracked that bug down and fixed it. The 0.61 release for win32 and linux (MacOS will follow), as well as incremental patches (so you only have to download a small file) are available from http://www.gltron.org/ Changes from 0.60 to 0.61: * Fixed crash on some systems, when two lightcycles collide * Fixed a few z-buffer problems * Camera settings are now saved between games - Andreas |

This showed up for me in .60 and is still in .61 - I'm sure it's been noted and mentioned but just in case... I can see the top of the trails through my cycle in mouse-look mode as a white line. Happens with or without alpha trails. |

But I didn't stress-test very much. I'll check on all these OS versions for the bug and see what I come up with. As mentioned before, the previous lock on cycle crashes was apparently a divide-by-zero exception (which has been fixed in the current CVS). On a related note, I have found that the MacOS X version consistently crashes in the audio code. I doubt this is a compiling problem, most likely a bug in the code that the slightly different memory protection (from Linux that is) in OS X managed to catch. This next statement is purely hypothetical, but I have a feeling that the crash is happening because two sounds try to play really close together, and that somehow changes the audio mixing in such a way as to create a lockup. > I think I've got it... > I went to macgamefiles.com and watched all 15 reviews from users. > all the reviews that mentioned the lockup when you crash into a > lightcycle are from february, which means the bug is in the 0.6d6 > release - in which I could experiment this crash pretty often too. > So I guess that the ppl that still experience this bug are still playing > on the old 0.6d6 release (-> there should really be a version indication > in the game) > > -- > Nicolas "SkateBoy" Zimmermann - Dingue de Mac et de Skate =E0 roulettes > > R=E9dacteur Quake 3 Macjnet (www.macjnet.com) > Admissions Quake 3 clan [MAK] (www.macgeneration.com/jeux/mak/) > > ICQ# : 52813400 > www.chez.com/nicozim/sitecadres.html > > "Les Voix Off elles arr=EAtent pas de foutre la merde."

I collided with the red cycle and the game locked. Haven't been able to reproduce it yet, I can't catch the MCP bots! That said, the doppler sound is very welcome although I think the engine noise (and the recognizer noise) should probably have a little more range - I play at the vast size and hardly ever hear other cycles. The effect is so cool I want to hear more of it! |

Hi to all! Here my thoughts about the new version: stability: It was a common problem that the beta crashed if two cycles collided at = the exactly same place (our work-around: two computers running GLTron. = If one hangs up we raced to the second). Now I didn`t manage to hang up = the system on purpose, have to try it in multi player and also on the = Mac. System specs: P3 800MHz, Win98. the new 'behind' perspective: My biggest concern. The only way to play seriously is the behind = position. You can drive now more precisely because the 'camera' is in a = higher position. This shows my test: against one MCP bot with = crazy/medium size settings the score was exactly 12:88 in the beta. Now = the score is 19:81. But I like the old behind position much better. It = was much more involving and faster, so being more fun. Now it seems to = be slower (it isn't, you need exatcly the same space for one u-turn then = before), and the head-on-head races aren't as exciting as before. You = can adjust the camera position with your mouse, but it always goes back = to default after one race. This is my next point: I think for competitive play everyone should be = forced to use the exactly same camera position, so no one is in = advantage. If you zoom out far enough it's nearly like the 2D version, = and in my eyes thats cheating. Lukily this guard type of thing blocks = your view :) My suggestions: - force the old 'behind' position, at least it should be adjustable = without getting back to default - make it FASTER !! but I=B4ve no idea how to achieve this without the = u-turns becoming to large (max. should stay roughly 1 square) Anyways GLTron is great, still the best Tron-game out there! Sincerely Mister U |

Announcement: GLtron 0.60 - by Andreas Umbach <ma...@da...> Yes, this is the real release and not a preview. I'm proud to present the latest release for GLtron. This version has been well tested and should be considered stable. Major changes include: Usage: - new camera controls, use the mouse to tweak/rotate/zoom - simplified the menu structure - graphical installer Graphics: - vastly better visuals due to lighting & shadows - fixed many rendering artefacts - added recognizers - new textures / create your own sets Audio: - 3D positional sound & doppler effects Gameplay: - more movie-like default - much much stronger AI options (try to beat the MCP) What are you waiting for?

I'm not very happy with this build :( the circle cam is completely broken here : when I switch to this mode I can only see a static lightcycle halo on a black background=2E framerate suddenly drops when the recognizer is just above me=2E I still can't hear my own lightcycle's engine (does it have a selective silencer ? :-) thought you added this=2E=2E=2E Did you commit biohazard, arcade spots, final metaltron and lightened default textures to CVS ? could only get the old default set and old metaltron walls (that don't even have alpha layers in them) in the build Darrell made=2E=2E=2E is it jus= t his fault ? :-) still, there are good things in this=2E=2E=2E the video menus have been re-organized, no crashes when engine sounds go berzerk, drop shadows with LOD settings=2E=2E=2E --=20 Nicolas Zimmermann - Dingue de Mac et de Skate =E0 roulettes R=E9dacteur Quake 3 Macjnet (www=2Emacjnet=2Ecom) Admissions Quake 3 clan [MAK] (www=2Emacgeneration=2Ecom/jeux/mak/) ICQ# : 52813400 www=2Echez=2Ecom/nicozim/sitecadres=2Ehtml "Les Voix Off elles arr=EAtent pas de foutre la merde=2E" (Jeanne D'Arc)=2E --- |

It's a bug in the depth-sorting routine. That one 'mostly' works, but these kinds of artefacts stilll shou up from time to time. - Andreas -- Check out my 3D lightcycle game: http://www.gltron.org A 0.60 preview/beta for win32/mac is available NOW!
