TA3D

ok, I will give you admin rights, I am currently removing spams

ok, I will stop using billou's methods

so no more ads, no more thinks about m$, ...

ok, I removed it

please accept my apologies

I won't do it again

I could say lots of things more on the subject, but I won't since I already made enough.

I am sorry, I should have discussed it with you. But may be you should follow the link of this banner. I don't like windows but I didn't have reasons to do this before learning more about vista. For example you might think the fact that vista is going to renew lots of computers is a good thing, but ...

ok, done, use this link:
http://ta3d.sourceforge.net/ta3d-snapshot140107.tar.bz2

ok, I will upload my current working copy to CVS and upload a snapshot of it as a tar.bz2 file.

TA3DCONFIG() { fps_limit = -1.0f; shadow_r = 0.02f; timefactor = 1.0f; shadow_quality = 1; priority_level = 0; water_quality = 1; // For now only because we have shaders issues with ati board fsaa = 0; Lang = 0; // English screen_width = 800; screen_height = 600; show_fps = false; wireframe = false...

ok, there are some problems with GLSL and ati boards, try setting water quality to 1 or 0, it will deactivate GLSL shaders when rendering water and lava.

game exit crash fixed:
I was deleting m_Sound too early so it tried to destroy it twice but the second time after it has been freed, it now plays music (in fact it wasn't finding the playlist)

I assume you're running the windows version, if it takes time to starts the game (changing the view) try to set the game speed to 1.0, or more it should speeds things up. we need more information like: _OS (version) _graphics card (ati or Nvidia), driver version _may be a screenshot if it works (pre...

first we need to to have the hpi module looking for real files first, and then in hpi, that way, we won't have to modify it every time we have to test something. Then we will shift our dir structure to a hpi file, it will be more compact and easier to upload

I have tried it, it builds but doesn't work very well, there is something that prevent sounds from being played. I don't know what it is but it's related to the storage system, it seems that when you ask to play a sound, it looks for its key and it often fails or when it doesn't fail it fail finding...

yes with a few modifications:
_I added typename where it was needed
_I explicited some stuff (otherwise it doesn't build with g++)

I built it and it runs fine.

well, I didn't thought about that. If we can reuse something from TA's files then lets do it!! It will improve compatibility with TA but also with mods. And TDF structure is good for that kind of data

well it doesn't build at all, it complains about something not defined (i looked for it but I didn't found too):
m_lpParent = Parent;

what's this?

ok, I will check that as soon as I have finished my setup menu ( a few minutes only )

We can now chose player colors, sides, and who control each player, we could even reuse that screen for multiplayer games (just add some categories for remote players, and that's done )

the 4 sounds for weapons are described in the weapons\weapons.tdf file, where you can find information about other weapon features.

As soon as you get something you thing functional and stable I'll merge it to my code. Currently I am still doing the setup game menu and testing the gui/gfx module.

ok, it's fixed.

I noticed a bug in the format function in the Linux specific code, I replaced specific code with safe platform code using a Allegro function which does the job well.:

Code: Select all

result = uvszprintf(buffer, length, fmt, args);

about the install_sound line, I just forgot to remove it :D . As far as the gfx module is concerned, I will code it since I am currently improving the GUI module which needs to be simplified and optimized (mainly drawing routines related to the GUI) you can do a global config object but not use a bi...

yes, that's ok, you can do this.

well, for now it's out of question to change that, since we need to add frequently new strings to this file, and it's pretty easy to edit it with a simple text editor. You can modify it to load only what's needed since when the desired language isn't found we go back to english or whatever else is p...

well you can grab the error message like this:

Code: Select all

#include <errno.h>
// do what ever you want here
char *szError = strerror(errno);

type or errno is int

hum, yes of course, at that time I was learning STL

!

well the gfx object could be used in combination with the gui module, so you only load font and background once and the gui code will become clearer since I used it from a old project (from which I built the 3DM Editor). With a gfx object we could redirect drawing calls to a window of the gui module...

I have made a new menu to configure a game before launching it, so you can choose your enemies, the AI settings, the map, the game script that will be used, ... well it's not finished yet since I am improving the GUI module to do that, so it takes me time. But the result in there (at least in term o...

use errno for Linux (replaces GetLastError), and strerror_r to get the error message.

yes, but only to adapt it to modifications I have made to other modules, like the new menu (to setup a game) which pass the game data to the play function with a structure which stores everything we need (about players, network, AI, ...) instead of giving it only the name of the map. I also modified...

print out a message, you can do this safely using allegro_message, it uses the same syntax as printf, it's platform safe and can be used before allegro starts (it has been created to report errors). If it's used before allegro starts it will print a message where it can (more likely in a console), a...

ok, I have rewritten it to use fmod4, so it supports Linux and windows in both 32 and 64 bits modes (and even more platforms). I also replaced the system used to identify a sound, I used a class containing the filename and the index (or -1 if not yet found) so when we have the index we use it, when...

I will start release test builds when we will have a working bug report system, and that's what we are currently doing. So we should start releasing test builds soon.

What did you try to access the web-page resources on sourceforge.net ??

ok, I am going to add those modules, I have done some basic optimizations to the core engine and split the EngineClass module into EngineClass (2000 lines of code) and UnitEngine (4000 lines of code). I will move as much code as possible from UnitEngine.h to UnitEngine.cpp, so it will be easier (and...

ok, threading code works

I have implemented the new modules, modified them a bit so they can be built on Linux, but I still not have tested them but it's what I am going to do now.

they're cool

ok, I downloaded your new tools dir but I saw that fmod 3.75 seems to be available for linux 32 bits only, what about linux 64, is fmod 4 backward compatible? Or if it's not the case would you mind using fmod 4?

I confirm the locking system is initialized with a pointer to a pthread_mutex_t.

ho yes, I forgot that. Objectives for 0.3.1 are:
_bug report system
_new sound system using fmod
_implementing week 5 changes
_having at least a small AI, and may be a single player game script which spawns enemy randomly and send them to the player

!

no, but I am going to do it now

we need to set current objectives for next version. Since we will start making testing builds, we will need a robust system to report bugs. What we need to have in a bug report is: _a few things saved automatically *version tested *platform (win32, win64, Linux 32, Linux 64, ...) *some info about th...

I have fixed what I could, now it should be ok to start next version.

I don't want to use msvc for developing. TA3D is already a huge piece of code and msvc is (very) slow to build it and I don't have it installed on every PC I can work with (currently it's only installed on one), whereas Linux is everywhere at home with all the tools I need. msvc doesn't run on Linux...

for now don't care about bottom bar, I am modifying it so it displays more data like metal/energy consumption/production, and to make everything stay inside the bar.

well, it looks good of course, but there is a small problem here: the line effect will produce an ugly thing when resizing to smaller resolution, so we need to modify it a bit, the rest is perfect

!

sorry but I can't agree on a windows only development platform. do I ask you to change for Linux?? You want a solution with access blocking, ok, I will look for one and see what we can use. for now I don't use an IDE, just a small text editor which allow working on multiple file at the same time, wi...

Sometimes I read some code from Spring in order to understand how things work, but I realized that there are sometimes things they are not doing well, for example their 3D model format. There are things concerning TA's data I had to understand myself because there was no documentation or when there ...

well, it's not exactly FTP, it"s a secured connection (through SSH), you can access the web dir on the sourceforge.net server with WinSCP, you will need to generate a SSH key, post you public key on your sourceforge.net account and then you should be able to log to the server with your private key. ...

looks nice, I will try to replace my test tree by a good looking one

I fixed a few bugs including: _boats going up and down while being built _crash when no maps in TA3D's dir also when you right click on the view mode button while in normal mode you reset the view angle to default. It's a good idea to make help requests but I don't have enough time to do everything ...
