Re: [Rails-devel] 2.0 RC1

(Vanilla 1830)
The game gets confused when you save exactly at the point where the B&O par price needs set.
Someone put a bid on the B&O private (yeah, I know that that is a bad move.)  Now, when the market clears, that person needs to set the par price, but this person is not the active player.  So the game has to get saved there.


Also, in looking at the interface it is adding the number of owned Privates to the number of certificates held.  IIRC in 1830 this is not the correct as Privates do not count as certs.



Glad to hear that someone is still actively working with the code.  I was worried that (as with a lot of "I'm not getting paid for this" projects) developers had drifted away.  (I figured this was a good chance to look at some Java code and be able to claim "some use" of Java.)


CHEERS!
(Attached are two save files from around the B&O glitch.)

 Good Morning Russell,
 
 the source code is publicly available at Sourceforge. But perhaps you could send us a list of your minor issues and we could resolve them together ? :)

[<Dr....@t-...>]

Good Morning,
 
justone word of caution :)
 
 
1.8/9 and 2.0 use a different directory layout. If you plan on producing 
new enhancements you should stay on the 2.0 tree.The maintainer/responsible 
lead developer is Stefan Frey.
 
I am the maintainer of the "old" version 1.8/9. If you look into the 
history of this group you can find some tips and hints by Stefan/Erik 
Vos/Brett Lenz about the principles of development.
 
For the basic part:  one goal was to have a complete seperation of GUI and 
Core Components (this had to abandoned meanwhile)
 
You'll find the gui components in <net.sf.>rails.ui....
The core game components (base classes) are in <net.sf.>rails.game and 
subclasses.
If you require game specific code cause the base classes dont provide all 
necessary logic the convention is that this code will go into subclasses in 
<net.sf.>rails.game.specific._gamename or 
<net.sf.>rails.ui.swing.gamespecific._gamename
 
because of backward and gameengine compatibility the so called game action 
classes reside in <net.sf.>rails.game.action/correct respectivly in 
<net.sf.>game.specific._name
 
The base game was 1830. theres no specific code for 1830. Deriviations from 
1830 mechanismns have to go into game specific code. If you find a number 
of games that use the same mechanismn and thus require the same code it 
might be appropriate to create a new base class with a descriptive name 
though.
 
Please make sure that a new base class comes with extensive documentation 
and Junit Tests :)
 
How to configure a new game...
 
below src/main/resources you'll find a data directory inside in 
subdirectories reside the gamespecific configuration files. Have  a look at 
a number of those to note the differences (1835 or 1880 would be suitable 
candidates).
 
tiles and tiles.svg contain the routines and svg-images for the maps. We 
are still lacking gamespecific tiles for newer games but the basis should 
be complete by now. To create new tiles is a rather tedious process since 
we lack currently a good editor to create new tiles in the needed format 
and the information (the game uses xml-descriptions to create the internal 
relation map, the UI uses the svg to display the map). Tiledictionary.xml 
and Tiles.xml contain the necessary information. Each game has its own 
Tiles.xml (a subset of the "global Tiles.xml) and Tileset.xml defining the 
upgrades and amount of tiles available.
 
I hope this will help you find your way.. Any more questions please dont 
hesitate to ask.
 
If you got code please send that code in a diff to me/the list (for 1.8/9) 
or to Stefan/the list (for 2.0). I would be willing to setup new branches 
for you on the repository and will import the code there.
Regards,
Martin

        :
          Good evening Jonathan,

          i am glad to be of assistance.
          I personally use Eclipse to handle everything IDE wise. The Code
          can be found as a git repository on sourceforge.

          The main component to run resides on the 1.8/1.9 branch in
          rails.util.rungame. In eclipse you can rightclick on the class
          and eithe run the class as Java Application or Debug :) Just as
          easy as that.




          The following branches are more or less active in the moment:


          rails_2_develop is the development branch for 2.x
          rails_2_maintenance is the maintenance branch for 2.0
          rails1.8.x is the development and maintenance branch for 1.9 in
          the moment.
          rails.2.0 is the release branch of Rails2.0

          the other branches you see is development ongoing (more or less
          private branches denoted by the initials of the developers mbr=is
          me for example..)

          If you use eclipse theres currently no need to run gradle. You
          can handle everything inside your IDE.

          More in the next post.

          Regards,
          Martin

Re: [Rails-devel] Help learning the source?

This log4j thing is tricky! I have the following file:

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout

# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p
%c{1}:%L - %m%n

which I have placed in many places... src/, the base directory, I've added
the folder containing it to eclipse's classpath, I've changed
-Dlog4j.configuration to point to it... it just doesn't want to configure
itself.

I can replace all of the debug statements with prints but having the line
class/line numbers is super useful!

Thanks for any guidance...

Re: [Rails-devel] Help learning the source?

[Jonathan C. <jco...@gm...>]

I have this largely set up, the one thing I'm not sure is how to properly
set the log4j properties while debugging. Do I just need to put a
log4j.properties on the classpath, or is there some more canonical way?
Thank you!

Re: [Rails-devel] Help learning the source?

[Martin B. <dr....@t-...>]

Good evening Jonathan,

i am glad to be of assistance.
I personally use Eclipse to handle everything IDE wise. The Code can be
found as a git repository on sourceforge.

The main component to run resides on the 1.8/1.9 branch in
rails.util.rungame. In eclipse you can rightclick on the class and eithe
run the class as Java Application or Debug :) Just as easy as that.




The following branches are more or less active in the moment:


rails_2_develop is the development branch for 2.x
rails_2_maintenance is the maintenance branch for 2.0
rails1.8.x is the development and maintenance branch for 1.9 in the moment.
rails.2.0 is the release branch of Rails2.0

the other branches you see is development ongoing (more or less private
branches denoted by the initials of the developers mbr=is me for example..)

If you use eclipse theres currently no need to run gradle. You can
handle everything inside your IDE.

More in the next post.

Regards,
Martin

[Rails-devel] Help learning the source?

[Jonathan C. <jco...@gm...>]

Hello friends! I am an 18xx enthusiast who is also a programmer, and I
really have enjoyed using rails. As such, I'd like to learn the code, and
see if I can't eventually pitch in.

For now, I'm really curious to see how the game logic is implemented...any
tips for learning the code? Because I imagine there is also a lot of code
around networking, UI, etc, and for now I'm curious to see how the game
itself is driven.

[Rails-devel] Rails home page needs updating

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

The rails home page here http://rails.sourceforge.net/ lists the most

Could someone update the home page with the correct version?

[Rails-devel] 1830: Tokens for Wabash Cannonball variant

[Rick W. <wes...@pu...>]

v2x as well as v1.9 has the Wabash RR in the 1830 variant listed with 2 
tokens.  However the original Rail Gamer article as well as pictures on 
BGG show it with 3 tokens.  I believe Eric put in the variant in 2011.  
There is no comment in the code as to why there are only 2 tokens.  Does 
anyone know why it does not have 3 tokens?

The obvious question is what is the version of Rails on his and your

Hi Danny,

The ledges should already work, or in any case they did when I did the 
initial work on 1870 long ago.
I don't think anything has been done yet on price protection.

Re: [Rails-devel] 1870 Development

[Danny M. <mpa...@gm...>]

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the response.

Fortunately (unfortunately?) the 1870 Start Round is identical to the 1830
start round, so no game-specific code is needed (the current configuration
xml files are sufficient).

Since nothing needs to be done with the Start Round, I was thinking of
starting with the Stock Round specific code (e.g. ledges and price
protection).  I'll be looking at the general and game specific stock round
code.  As a first step, I'll try to get the ui to display the ledges.

Question: I've noticed that the code occasionally contains calls to
Log.debug.  How would I get access to this debugging log?  I am currently
using Eclipse, if that matters.

Danny

Re: [Rails-devel] 1870 Development

[dr.martin.brumm <dr....@t-...>]

    
Hi Danny
Welcome to the list and rails. Apparently you already made yourself somewhat knowledgeable about the work that needs to be done. 
We have currently 2 major development lines:The maintenance of 1.X (9.1).
And 2.x. 
I do recommend that you dig through 2.x (sourceforge or github).
For 1870 as well as 1825 some configurations have already ben created.
But most of the specific code is missing as of now.
For starters i think the best way would be to make yourself familiar with the code existing in the general and game specific implementations  in regard to the start round and start round window.
If you have questiona please don't hesitate to ask on the list ☺
Regards Martin

Betreff: [Rails-devel] 1870 Development 

Hi,I'm a new subscriber to this list who would like to help bring some new games into Rails.  For example, 1870 and 1825 seem to be partially complete at present - is anyone working on them at present?  If not, I could write some or all of the game-specific code for them.  If both are open, I'd probably start with 1870; if neither, I could work on something else (e.g. 18NEB).  I have intermediate familiarity with Java.  I'm most interested in programming game rules, but I could also create game-specific xml files.
