[Littlegoblin-main] Upgrade to Grails 2

[Ingo W. <ing...@de...>]

Hi,

I am currently in the process of upgrading LittleGoblin to Grails 2.0.

Grails 2.0 brings many new features and a lot of improvements:
http://grails.org/doc/2.0.0.RC3/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHUPLOnUF4g

To upgrade an existing source code installation of Little Goblin, 
download Grails 2.0
http://grails.org/Download (select the latest milestone release) and 
install it.
Update your LG source code the new current version.
Then, in the project's folder (from the command line) run "grails upgrade".
You may need to re-install several plugins
$> grails clean
$> grails install-plugin jquery
$> grails install-plugin webxml
$> grails install-plugin spring-security-core
$> grails install-templates

I have deactivated the webtest plugin as the maven repository for it 
seems to be down.

To work with Grails 2.0, you will probably need to update your IDE 
(either the Spring Tool Suite or IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate in their current 
version should work).

Regards,
Ingo

[Littlegoblin-main] Equipment-Bug fixed

[Ingo W. <Ing...@de...>]

Hi,

the equipment bug should be fixed now.

I added some more features to the shop - it's now possible to specifiy the 
number of items you want to buy / sell. When you buy stackable items, they are 
combined with the ones in your backpack automatically.

And I started with the ItemAdminController, which is goig to be some work 
(should be done in two weeks, I guess). Originally I wanted to finish the 
registration part today, but that will have to wait until late September, I 
guess.

Best regards,
Ingo

Re: [Littlegoblin-main] Caught a bug

[Ingo W. <Ing...@de...>]

Hi Flora,

you have indeed found a bug - the equipment handling is currently broken, it 
seems (mea culpa).

I tried to fix it, but it seems I will have to take some more time to do so - 
currently I have two inventory templates, and they are used in various places.

Best regards,
Ingo

[Littlegoblin-main] Testserver: moving

[Ingo W. <Ing...@de...>]

Hi,

I am going to move the test system and the documentation project to a new 
server. Therefore, schedim.de and littlegoblin.de will experience some 
downtime today. (It takes some time for DNS updates to propagate).

Best regards,
Ingo

[Littlegoblin-main] Updates

[Ingo W. <Ing...@de...>]

Hi,

I updated littlegoblin.de and schedim.de with the latest versions, including 
the new list of QuestGivers (which will probably be renamed to QuestMasters 
someday).

Thanks to Pauline for the new design for littlegoblin.de
I took the liberty of adding a "Home"-link, because the logo-link may not be 
obvious to all visitors.

Best regards,
Ingo

Re: [Littlegoblin-main] Design

[Ingo W. <Ing...@de...>]

Hi,

Yes, you may remove the inventory from all pages - I think the pages that need 
it will require some overhaul (so that the items *are* shown if needed).

If you encounter div's that are not used at all, remove them. Note that empty 
div's with ids may be used via jQuery / Ajax. For example, something like <div 
id="playerMessages"></div> may receive content at runtime.

Best regards,
Ingo

[Littlegoblin-main] Design

[Pauline F. <key...@ho...>]

Hi,
The design should be ok on most of the pages. I cannot access some of them IG so I'm not sure the layout will show as expected. I'll clean the code and make some changes (like using a smaller banner and remove the inventory). Will the inventory be removed from all the pages? This means we could skip to a 2 columns layout :)
Question: can I remove some divs that are not used? Right now I put them as comments but it may be better to remove them altogether?
Best regards,
Pauline

 		 	   		  

[Littlegoblin-main] [UI] moving inventory

[Ingo W. <Ing...@de...>]

Hi,

First, thanks to Pauline for changing the layout / design on several further 
of the pages to match the front page.

I am currently working on an inventory page, where the player can move items 
from the character's home to the character. The inventory list will become 
obsolete in most cases, the reasoning being:
a) In many places, it is not necessary to show the character's items - if he 
or she visits the guild hall, the inventory list is not going matter to 
whatever the player wants to do there.
b) In other places, it is (or will be) redundant to to lists in the center or 
main column [Post Office]. 

So, I want to move the inventory list to an extra page accessible from the 
town view (and perhaps from other pages).

Best regards,
Ingo

[Littlegoblin-main] First Post ;)

[Ingo W. <Ing...@de...>]

Hi,

welcome to the new Little Goblin mailing list.

I want to move the discussions about LG to this list, rather than have them in 
the Projet Pro Google group. I suggest we use the Google group for stuff that 
is only relevant in the context of the Projet Pro.

So, what is this mailing list about?
Here you can make suggestions and feature requests, ask questions and post 
your thoughts on browser game development. If you need help getting the 
project to run, applying changes or want to coordinate your next patches, this 
is the right place.

The mailing list is public, so I hope that we will get some more users here 
and enjoy lively discussions about LG :).

Best regards,
Ingo
