wintertime created ticket #3262
Strange type conversions in compound assignments
-
The Java creators did strange version numbering. Basically, Java 8 is short for Java 1.8 and 1.8 is less than 1.9. Therefore, get a newer version. I'd suggest Java 11 or 17 as these are LTS versions.
-
Mike's goal was to have everything in one repository. He put the website in www.freecol.org/. The image source files should be in srcdata/ where I put them, as they would not change much (only updating the raw files many times is where git gets bloated from keeping all versions). Some replaced resources were moved to unused/, as they were committed anyway.

Hi @stiangre, years ago I rescued anything still interesting from the old SVN and put it into git already. Anything left in there is only for historical purposes and I'd highly suggest staying as far away from it as possible, because there is stuff with licensing issues in there, but not much else. If you can not use git cause of the file sizes, please, make a new clean SVN!
-
I'd think, fixing this now and upgrading when the release is done would be the logical way forward. Remember we have that security fix waiting still. Upgrading and changing everything to use new features would only delay the release.
-
Ok :) The performance problems depend on OS (mainly they had been reported on some Linux distributions) and JDK+Java startup options (they influence using different drawing and smoothing algorithms and if some call gets done on GPU with many back and forth copying images between system and GPU memory) and I think even their versions. Though, if you click on the map to move and its not redrawn immediately cause of the many layers thats already too slow IMO. This probably also slowed down the AI moves...

Hi @stiangre, just to give you some background on why the current rendering is as it is: It started with cleaning up the code and enabling a larger GUI for high-dpi monitors (wish I had put it in option menu not a command line option noone uses), then needing higher resolution images, searching the old SVN for raw source images and sadly only finding very few, then extracting what was possible including trying to recombine layers. Now I had a partial set with very many missing double sized images....

-
In theory it should be possible already to add higher resolution versions for nearly all images. It only requires adding a second key for some use into the right config file and adding something like ".a2" to the end (might be a different letter but there is a few examples in existing config for all images where I could get a higher resolution version). The code will load both versions at init and then use the most appropriate size before scaling. Sadly the scaling code could not be made perfect...
-
You would need to modify the game code to support such a new feature. Be aware that it is not guaranteed to work, it may require 10x more memory and run 10x slower (rough guess based on number of tiles).

-
In that case more information will be necessary. If you have savegames from shortly before the crash (so it can be reproduced) or saved the freecol.log file from when it happened (so the exact error can be seen), you can open a bug ticket and attach these files.
-
There are a number of exceptions inside your log file from the GUI, but it seems to stop when the AI wants to do a demand. There must be a bug where the demand code divided by 0 and threw an exception.
-
I'd recommend Full HD for the game. It may be playable at 1024x768 or even lower, although it can get annoying to have the large panels cover the whole screen and to need to scroll, move or resize the (sub-)panels constantly.
-
There is a limited amount of silver inside a silver mountain. That it was completely mined out when you built the road was probably a coincidence, though the road could have contributed to mining it out faster, as you get more silver for a working turn on the tile.
-
Bells do not improve the town immediately, you need to collect a certain number over a few years to improve the rebel status.
-
Could also be you had been too slow in visiting them, the other Europeans were faster and visited them first and spread rumors that your nation are heretics. ;)
-
Well, if you had a log file and/or savegame/map it may help prevent the problem to appear for someone else again later.
-
Well, we have some JavaDoc on the website: http://www.freecol.org/javadoc/ I doubt. anyone else here would have time to create UML charts of FreeCol, but someone may surprise us. It might help to attract new developers, but I would not bet on it.

First Steps For Contributing To FreeCol Website
-
Add newspost about how to use Jekyll for the website
-
I'd suggest you report your issue with the SF site there: https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/new/
-
Good, you could get it to work. There is a number of targets inside the file which may get useful for you, for example, clean, build, run, test. There is also some for building the manual, documentation or release packages and even more I forgot (though, some are just helper-sub-targets).
-
The ant run target is the way to start FreeCol in the IDE. The NetBeans project file is configured that way. I'd try to get IDEA to do the same (if you can not, try to look at the parameters inside build.xml to copy what you need).
-
These do not happen automagically. Most times it is me reading commit-emails and then triggering them. I just triggered another. ;)
-
Currently, this is a work-in-progress page in preparation for when the release happens. Please, get and use The Nightly Releases meanwhile, which contain everything mentioned above!
-
A bit late, but I looked around in the repository and there seem to be some tools: - some scripts which may be for gimp automation (beaches, borders, forests, rivers): FreeCol\bin\*.scm - some java tools, for generating forests and rivers: FreeCol\src\net\sf\freecol\tools Hope this helps.
-
Merge remote-tracking branch 'DonWaugaman/macosx'
-
The nightlies don't automatically catch up (David intentionally made it manually and there is some brokenness with the autoupdates of GitHub master from SF), but I noticed early this time and did the necessary merge to slim branch and push of master and slim to github, to start the build (which works). You could easily do that, too.

-
With such a problem it is best to read the freecol.log file and attach some from your testing. It gets overwritten on each game run, so do not forget to copy it. That is probably something specific to your system.
-
Thank you for testing and the patch. I'm not sure I understood the second paragraph completely. You just think this change would be necessary or you verified it is necessary for the current MacOS? I mean up until now, it should have ran for other people, or not cause there is so few people trying it on a Mac? Just trying to be careful, because we have no Mac developer who could test.
-
Yes, I just tried and I couldn't even resize it back to actually show something again, which might have been cause of the small 1366x768 screen on the laptop I tried it on.

Crash on game continue

I fixed this typo in git.5315c27f, but please do separate bug reports for each different bug next time. If you are interested in proofreading and fixing English spellings, take a look at data/strings/FreeColMessages.properties, where you can see all texts except for texts of mods.

@misiulo Please, if you make new images do them in double size (256x128 for tiles) to support map zoom and gui scaling, then also provide images downsized to standard size (128x64 for tiles). There is a way to get the game to load and use both using additional resource keys (copy the line, add .a2 to the resource key and the filename with the larger version as resource value, for example, search for: image.unit.model.unit.freeColonist.a2=resources/images/units/civilian/freeColonist_2.png
-
Please, research thoroughly before giving incorrect advice! @misiulo There are a number of resources.properties files below the data folder. Inside these are lines consisting of resource key, equals sign and a resource value (forwarding key, special key or file name). You can find which resource keys are needed inside these files (order is data/base/, data/rules/classic/, data/rules/freecol/, then choosen mods from data/mods/. Please, take a look at data/mods/markovoss/ for an example of how to create...
-
You could just not prrovide the border files in your mod. Just create a single fully transparent image and use its name inside the config file for all tiles you don't want to make. Just do NOT make copies of the same image, as that would needlessly waste computer resources.
-
Had you restarted the game after changing the file?
-
I'm not happy having to tell you, but you seem to be wasting your time, because of a misunderstanding in how the game processes the image files. If the files are processed with something like pngcrush or OptiPNG (Is that what you used?), they only get smaller in their packed form on disk -- not while graphics are drawn. This might marginally improve loading time the first time you start the game after rebooting, otherwise it will have no effect. To explain, this is a very high level view of how the...

-
I read everything, but I did not get what you actually think of seeing as a problem or what you would like to propose? Squeezing a few bytes out of some asset files can't be it, as disks get bigger and bigger? Are you sure the compression was without any quality loss?
-
There might be some utilities for generating graphics in the repository, but I never tried using them and I don't know atm if there was one for the tile borders. I think, Michael Vehrs was the person making/using these.
-
Just in case, if you happen to have higher resolution versions of these images -- the game would support these for zoomed in map viewing.
-
I remember fixing the method generating the thumbnails a long time ago. :)
-
I liked the interesting terrain from a gameplay perspective. I also imagine the mapmaker could have taken a little creative freedom in adding some mostly dried out river beds. I've never been there, but it looked roughly like what I had seen on real maps. ;)

-
Sorry, I had no time to test the new maps. Though, I actually liked the current Australia map. Compared to that the current Africa map is worse (all flat, no space to high sea, no ore, huge areas of same terrain).
-
Bit short on time now, but: - paths with spaces are problematic - choosing 1 was not intended by me (wrote just to type Enter and the text in the command window also said to do that if not sure), cause some Ruby gems need the extra compiler -- you were lucky it worked without (there is a way to install that later but you'd need to read Ruby Installer documentation) yeah, but its just normal .md or .html with a short .yaml header (no header=copy, header=use variables and compile) edit the main folder,...

Reading your last paragraph it seems you never even tried to follow the steps I told back then in the mailing list. If you don't try it can never work. I just tried every step on my second computer to make sure it works. I'd like to see if you can follow this before I edit it into the manual: Installation (once): - go to https://rubyinstaller.org then download the recommended version and install it (the Ruby people really made an effort to make that easy, so please try and just use the standard options...

Sorry, I was in a real hurry this morning. What I typed was meant as search terms for the mailing list -- my posts there had been including how to install Ruby and Jekyll -- to bridge the time until I could write the documentation. I'll refer to your comments to get it more understandable, but there is a point where you have to assume some basic knowledge from a person editing code. In exchange for editing much shorter and simpler code, it is required to open a command line and type a few lines,...

Hi, I'd wanted to write a small readme (maybe on weekend), but I remember posting the basics on the mailing list some time ago: It starts with cloning our git and cd www.freecol.org, then doing a jekyll command to locally serve+open 127.0.0.1:4000 for testing, do a jekyll build and using WinSCP to upload the generated stuff in _site.

These are really just zip files with a different file extension. If you are on Windows, install 7-zip and use the right click menu it adds to Windows Explorer. Or just change the extension. It's nice there is more activity here. Though, I'll be really busy this month at least.
-
You are right. I already realized myself it's just a nigthly. Seems you were faster with triggering this one. ;)

Using any original graphics from a commercial game will get everyone into very dangerous territory regarding copyright. Please, don't! I don't want to have to start playing moderator on here.

The automatic updating from SF master seems to be broken since a long time; the travis tasks are erroring out. Manual pushes to GH master do not trigger a release, but I thought thats intentional to not have a dozen nightlies on a busy day. I triggered some nightly releases when there were interesting changes, by merging to the slim branch manually and pushing it to GH. I was about to do one for about a week, but felt I should at least try the recent changes shortly myself beforehand. I'll try to...

You can not just throw together code from different codebases in different programming languages. As for making the existing tiles prettier, it is pretty easy if you are able to create new graphics to put together a mod. There is overlays of mostly transparent border and coast tiles for creating nice looking transitions -- it is intentional that the tiles flow together. You can activate the grid from the menu or make a mod with better looking or no transitions, if you like that.
-
Yeah, both would be much more work than just switching graphics. Any code depending on the Map layout (which tiles connect to which others and how are the tiles numbered) would need to be changed (incompatible savegame format written/read, movement code, code for the GUI output and input). Additionally, for 3D you would have to rewrite nearly the whole client, to not use Java Swing GUI, but some 3D API (OpenGL most likely) and custom made GUI widgets.

I recently added the missing links to many clones on the link website, but they were all abandoned. One other I found and was not sure about adding, was abandoned after 0.3, then made proprietary later.

Looks like I missed this question. IIRC, back then, when searching about our fullscreen problems, I read that windows not contained in the main JFrame (i.e. JDialog) are unsupported in fullscreen mode, according to Java spec. I also found some comment somewhere by someone complaining that it was working up to some Java version and accusing the Java devs that they "intentionally broke it".

My theory would be: The default is starting with selectable national advantages. When getting to the screen for choosing nations you might have accidently changed your advantage and therefore started with the other units. We'd need a savegame to verify this, though. As noone else had this problem for a long time, I guess this could be closed as invalid?
