Hi there

I dont maintain WorDoG anymore, somebody has taken over the project, 
but there does not seem to be any progress.

You're not having an XML problem, and the XML class was taken from 
another project. It just shows errors you can ignore.

I can remember exactly how it worked, so try reinstalling the 
languages. Maybe at WAKit? Or it could be a wrong or missing entry in 
your configuration.

Sorry I cant help you...


Greetings from Bonn, Germany

[Wordog-general] language help

[arjuna <ar...@on...>]

trying to get wordog up and running, having a little difficulty. 
basically none of the laguage info is loading.

php4-pear debian package no longer installs all the extras, so i had to
'pear install HTML_Tables' and 'pear install HTML_Forms' in order to get
the main page to load.  maybe i'm missing some other pear extras for
parsing XML or something?

now i'm getting all sorts of entries into 'wardog_laguages_text' with '?'
in the 'raw_text' column.  i assume it's trying to load the default
language file and unable to.  i've poked around in the class files for
languages and xml parsing but i'm not sure what i'm doing in there and
don't want to brake anything.

any hints?  thanks.

p.s.  another good project i've found and enjoyed similar to this one is

[Wordog-general] good news / bad news

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

hi there

the good news is: I have here a working NuGE under PHPNuke.

the bad news: I have it here. I could not connect to CVS for a couple 
of hours :(


more good news: nakit is almost complete. imho I can release NuGE 0.2a 
within may.

[Wordog-general] wordog's future

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

hi

today I took the decision that wordog will not have any more features 
that those planned. this means:

everything will be done to get it working as in its best days, but with 
nuke game engine, plus alliances will be available. maybe some minor 
improvemens here and there, e.g. usability, but not the game model.
after having accomplished that I will stop the development of new 
features (at least _I_ won't write new ones, and there is still much 
work left, though) and focus on nuge, wrathbowl and ffts.

greetings

dan

[Wordog-general] nuge / wordog nugeport

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

hi there.

I just want to let you know that nuge and wordog (CVS!) have improved 
very much this weekend.

nuge's framework is a lot more mature and stable than it was at 0.1 
release. Localisation works fine, some severe user tracking bugs were 
fixed already last week. nakit will be part of the framework, has been 
moved, therefore is temporarily not working.

wordog needs some review of the the attack/fight code and of the code 
which ends the game, diplomacy maybe as well. should not take too long 
until the next release.

dan!

[Wordog-general] did it

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

Hi there.

Some minutes ago I released Nuke Game Engine 0.1 (which is the same as 
in CVS) at SourceForget and announced it at Freshmeat. Let's hope for 
positive feedback.

Regards

Dan

[Wordog-general] NuGE 0.1

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

Dear All,

imho NuGE 0.1 can be released soon, I suggest Sunday evening (CET), 
after having tested the installation routines.

The release will be a preview, dont expect too much. NuGE will not 
support any of the Nukes in this version, only standalone will work. 
WorDoG will be playable, though some features might have been ported 
badly . We'll see.


Best regards

Daniel

[Wordog-general] cvs change

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

hi everyone

I noticed some activity in cvs and some changes in nuge. please comment 
important changes and test code twice before comitting it.

I know I comitted immature code a few times myself, but from now on 
I'll do my best not to confuse you. it seems that nuge is on the edge 
to turn into something usable. most concepts concerning the core are 
clear now, and most is halfway documented.

greetings

[Wordog-general] latex

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

hi again.

Meanwhile I read LONG discussions/flamings on latex vs docbook...


whatever they say, I have made my own experiences with Latex and looked 
into some docbook instructions. we should use latex.

1) imho it is easier to place and maintain single tags (latex) than 
writing well-formed xml (docbook)

docbook example:

<section>
<title>Hello</title>
........
</section>


latex example:

\section{Hello}
.........

furthermore, what I have read so far, latex docs use less tags

2) latex can use several sources, dunno if docbook can. this is nice 
for the doc writers

3) absolutely ignorant people at my institute learned latex quite 
easiliy + there are dedicated editors. I doubt they would have learned 
xml plus all the special tags that fast.

4) latex runs nicely and fast everywhere, docbook is a pain on mac os x

5) maybe! dummies could use wysiwig lyx, then save back as latex

6) i have some files from wordog already in latex.

regards

dan

[Wordog-general] documentation

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

hi there!

imho it's about time to write a good! documentation for nuge/wordog. 
mark roberts suggests "docBook" (see eg www.docbook.org), which is 
quite similar to latex (I began writing some lines in latex).

in any case we need a portable format and maybe we should consider 
connecting the written documentation somehow with wordog's help system.

any ideas?

best regards

dan

ps: if you find time, check the cvs. we intend to have a playable 
installation out-of-the-box (some day :) )

[Wordog-general] test

[Daniel P. <dp...@gm...>]

hi there

this is a test. latest hacks of the nuke game engine are available at 
sourceforge cvs, module "nuge".

i googled for "wordog" and it returned more wordog games than i expected. a
pity they dont give feedback.

that cool. one thing that´s really missing is that those smashed players
cant do anything but watch the game. multi-games will be a nice feature.

just relax. on the 6th i have another exam and cant "wordog" much until
then. i dont hink it makes much sense having 0.5 running on wordog.net, besides
you´d want to manage many games at once.

i like your ideas about forums and that. adds some value to wordog, the pure
game could become boring after a  while (i sometimes  felt bored about
wordog, always pretty much the same).

alliances:
my plan is to drop the old system. instead, some player can initialize a new
alliance (like nato) and join it immediate4ly, then allow/deny others to
join his alliance. some many players can be in the same alliance, but only in
one at a time. this reminds me a bit of the guilds from other online games and
might make the people to have a closer relation to the game and the players
themselves.

else:
what about including some kind of data exchange in wakit: perhaps sending
language translations to a central place (wordog.net, so the maps and skins),
or some kind of voluntary registration of the server to provide an overview of
worldwide wordog gaming places.
i admire very much how people from all over the world contribute to osdn /
sf / wordog and how many already play wordog. maybe it was interesting to
provide a picture or link  of the places where we live (instead of ourselves to
boast us), eg from roulette and point to it on a world map as at
danielpozzi.de/aroundtheworld.

why does not the list address appear in "from" but yours? without changing
it nobody else would receive the mail...

Re: [Wordog-general] (no subject)

[Brian G. <bg...@tr...>]

Well, that is locked up as far as wordog.net...:)

In a day or two from now, should be able to go to http://www.wordog.net
However, there is nothing there except a basic index page.


wordog.com seems to belong to a site about dogs...:)

anyway, as I am still working very hard on my new servers and web hosting
business, I have little time, but wordog looks to be a very popular game so
far.

I have 2 games running, as one has players smashed out of the game, the
other one takes them in.

Once I have my largest projects completed (I need to build an automation
script for my webhost account, and also an affiliate and matrix database
script for another site I am taking over, as well as my main game site which
needs rebuilt, I will begin developing wordog.net

this should have DNS resolved to a small webhost account in a couple of
days, and once done, I expect it will sit there, perhaps be useful for a
couple of general purpose scripts and for testing, until I can develop it.

I enjoy the coding very much and have learned a great deal in the short time
I have been playing with PHP. I am also beginning work on a FAQ's page as
well as a few additional config variables to add a "home page", "forums" and
FAQ's page to the login screen, which should make it a little more user
accessible. When players log out, they have no where else to go, so with a
variable added to config to insert the home page link they can return to the
hosting site. Should be relatively simple- just add the variable in config
and comment what it is for, then insert this into the index.php in a good
location...Will commit this once I have verified it works smoothly.:)

Bri!

I also have a couple of ideas for a messaging or chat system that can be
integrated into the game, so players may be able to contact each other, such
as offering intelligence between allies... IN the end, though, every player
goes to war sooner or later. LOL!

hi brian, hi danilo, hi everyone else

when browsing wordog´s sf home i suddenly noticed that i was not subscribed
to my own list, therefore, brian, never received your "intro".

here´s mine:

My name is Daniel Pozzi from Bonn, Germany. I study nutrition sciences
(focusing on household appliances, smart home). Tomorrow (2nd August) is my
birthday, will reach 26.

I got the idea to write WorDoG two years ago while making the first steps
with PHP. I quickly noticed that this beyond my limits, so I forgot about it
for a while. The rest of the story is documented at sourceforge.


My plans for the future:
0.6 will be cool, no question. We should establish a central wordog server
(brian: meanwhile i like your idea of getting wordog.net) for LAAARGE games
(someday).
Then, we´d need some skilled skin-makers to give wordog a cool look&feel. I
imagine a broad range of maps from historical to contemporary and, maybe,
geometric maps like circles or else. that could be fun. theoretically a 3d
map was possible...


have fun and always tell your ideas

"general dan"

[Wordog-general] Intro

[Brian G. <bg...@tr...>]

Just to say hello to everyone and introduce myself.

Brian Gustin form Pennsylvania, USA, assisting on the documentation and =
anything else I can help with.

Not much experience as a coder, I am mostly self taught, and strongest =
area is HTML (WOW!!!)

I'm 33, and attending University of Phoenix Online to get my Bachelor's =
Degree in Information Technology (includes minor in Computer Science)

Hoping that by helping out with the documentation, I can learn more =
about php and perl coding, getting used to the syntax and everything.

Glad to be able to help out with a neat game.

Bri!
