  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on discussion LAC Bug tracking

    Hi @bbosen, thanks for the reply and for the explanation! Given what you say, would it be an idea to do exactly what the AppImage format asks: use relative paths? E.g. the relative path ../share/file.txt to /usr/bin/lac is /usr/share/file.txt, the relative path to /home/user/bin/lac is /home/user/share/file.txt, and so forth. That's the typical approach for relative handling of absolute paths if I understand it correctly. This way, you'd be able to run the same binary lac in however way you want,...

    I'd be curious to look.:)

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on ticket #3114

    Not that I really play freecol in the last months, but what's the commit hash for the fix? Does sourceforge has some nice trick to push a commit name "... fix SF-3114", and it will understand that the issue is fixed once the branch is merged (or right away if committed to master)?

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on ticket #3108

    @Mike, unfortunately, I don't play FreeCol that active anymore, so I guess we can mark the issue as fixed, and restore or raise a new issue if something will come up. // Exhaused early because winning at "maximum" difficulty was too easy, yet contaned many similar easy actions. Dunno how it would be with multiplayer, if it was alive. Sorry, anyway, I hope the project will live.

    Well, I know for a fact that setting this property as first line of main() works. So we just need to find the right place for the code. I think I've gotta do it, because I'm the one that can observe different behavior. ( Though I still wonder what happens if you set this on Windows: https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/bugs/3102/#e5b5/5f89 ) I'll do it a bit later.

    I must report that the current patch doesn't work, yet. 1. Re-start is needed for such changes to apply, I think. Also, there should be a warning of the need of a re-start in settings. 2. It doesn't, in fact, work even if set to the right value AND re-started. I believe this is because the setting gets set too late, and something else might already sneak in and initialise some graphics subsystem. 3. The setting just shows "Enable OpenGL", with the same hint as the main label. I can't see any explanations...

    Attaching a savegame. Now, if you load the game and try trading with the wagon train, it'll go OK, you're allowed to buy stuff from Indians. However, if you dump your cargo (1 Tools) and attempt trading, action will fail. Question is: why the difference?

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on ticket #3111

    Alternately, wait a few years and see if the problem goes away. Read this in a wrong way first and fell into "stupor". xD The problem is, trading works fine if I add at least 1 Tools to the wagon. And not sell it. Just buy, but with 1 slot instead of 2. I'll try to attach a savegame a bit later.

    Maps are not games. They are incomplete. Well yes. But this is what I do anyway. I create a map (any map at all), and then try to open it as a game. The UI allows me doing that. Did you have to navigate to the map directory to find them or were they offered by default? Yes, they are/were offered by default. Actually, I don't even have a "map" directory, so IDK what you're talking about, exactly. When I start "Map Editor" and click "Save", the save directory is offered by default. So I click OK and...

    Can't confirm because as of commit 210a8e9a415f25430ae4f665da316a1f26b841b9, there's no possibility to either dump your cargo or unload it. I mean at all. Unload in colony, or dump in open sea, or anyhow.

    Well I would personally prefer to always have a warning, and explicitely ignore it if you know your ship is waiting for someone. Anyway, you may know user habitats better, so I think it's up for you to decide, I don't mind any solution. On another topic, from what you tell, the "movements" really have no impact in Europe. So that would indeed mean a minor bug and a leaky abstraction. People might think that these 0/- mean something, yet they don't. Anyway, I'm in favor of either closing the issue...

    Mike, second line in the description... - have a wagon with partial movement (say, 1/2) in the same colony So, it's about units that already moved during a turn, but can still unload and continue movement -- all within the same turn.

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on ticket #3114

    It actually happens not only when taking land from natives, but always on the current master: https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/bugs/3099/ You need to compile by choosing a commit earlier than that I linked to, I guess (if you want to compile from sources and play conveniently).

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on ticket #3102

    UPD: I fould out the following: if the image is a "transparency-enabled" PNG (it has at least one partially transparent pixel), there is no bug. This feels less surprising now as a transparency thing may very well be rendered differently than a thing without transparency.

    UPD: "good" news. I'll still have to sell my soul to the devil, but even setting partial transparency on the upper-left pixel does the trick. So it can be made almost visually indistinguishable (at least if no one can find that 0.3-1% transparency with his eyes).

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on ticket #3108

    @Mike, Maybe you're right. I personally kinda like the fact that you can sell 400 goods simultaneously at better price, it seems natural to me. But without possibilities for exploitation. Then again, a limit of 100 has its own benefits, too. Talking about numbers, a value of 300 may disallow such an exploit already. I can find the exact value if needed.

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov posted a comment on ticket #3108

    If anyone's interested in how much you can push this technique at. The optimal buying sequence seems to be: +600 +100 + 100 - 600 - 100 - 100. It works up to a tax rate of about 40% (40.9% IIRC). Each cycle gives you 2700 gold. The minimal amount of gold to make it work under such tax rate is about 7500 gold with free horse utilization and a free caravel, or 10500 with only caravel, or 11500 pure gold without any help of other ships.

  • vasya novikov vasya novikov modified a comment on ticket #3108

    Once the issue gets confirmed, we can discuss how to fix it. The easy&dirty fix would be to limit the number of goods that can be sold/bought simultaneously. Like, not allowing amounts bigger than 300. Another implementation might be to limit the number of items to "when price changes + 100". So if price changes when you buy 139 goods, allow 239 of this good to be bought simultaneously. Thoughts?

    Exactly. This should only appear on OOS or other kinds of exceptions. But instead it happens "normally" when you unload more than you have. BTW, I re-tested the steps above, and it actually happens when unloading any kind of cargo anywhere. Like unloading 2 food from a ship that only has 1 food. Or from Wagon. It reproduces 100%.
