Re: Shard
Im on schedule for releasing the next version + source code on the 18th. I've gotten my results an hour ago, so all is good, I'd release now but I need time to package everything up and finish testing the latest builds ( and to sleep )
Re: Shard
Since it's the 18th, I've put the code up in a git repo for all to see, you can find it here:

Re: Shard
Watched a game E323 3.19.1 vs. Shard 0.25 for 12 minutes - that's how long it took E323 to blow away Shard.
Hmm.. Shard builds almost no Defences (a single LLT behind a Bot-Lab doesn't really count as "defence") and tries to build multiple factories too far away from each other to be effectively defendable..
Well, I know E323 is a pain in the a** especially in the first ten minutes in a game, because it always knows where your units are and where they're not, so....
...I played against it myself and it was quite tough the first couple of minutes due to Shard's T1 KBot spam.
But later in the game I noticed it never sent anything else at me. It neither teched to T2, nor built vehicle plants or airfields.
I guess I haven't messed up with the AI's files since I simply unzipped the rar-file into the AI-folder.
Hmm.. How does the customization work?
Sort of "Customizing Shard for Dummies" would be nice

Re: Shard
Ill write up a blog post, thought 0.25 has its issues, I just haven't had time to finish up the remaining one or two items and release 0.27
Also, BA gameplay isn't Shards strongest gameplay, as a lot of the tech tree is unfinished and the arm and core factions are not equally developed ( one is more unfinished than the other )

Re: Shard
when running under linux:
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)
it triggers an assertion in an other thread, and am too tired right now to check how to look at other threads backtraces in gdb.

Re: Shard
i do not really get what it is.
the assert is in the engine, but as i get it, the problem lies in an other thread, and i get this error without lining Shard to springs (lib)lua.
for clarification:
Shard comes with its own lua sources under AI/Skirmish/Shard/src/lua/, which is the same that the engine has under rts/lib/lua/ (if i got it right).
i tried removing Shards lua sources, and link against the spring lua lib, but it failed to find the symbols at runtime then. if someone wants to try to debug this, i would be glad, and would try to help, if i am around.

Re: Shard
When I attempted to switch visual studio to use the spring source lua libs, it started pulling in extra stuff, I had to add in folders under the RTS and SYstem folders, and eventually streflop, which promptly starting barfing and spewing out errors in my code.
Perhaps it has been fixed in the latest dev builds but for now I really don't know what I can do about it, since I don't like developing for unreleased versions as it means I have to start branching and I don't want to be tied to springs release cycle.

Re: Shard
Ah sorry, next Shard has some bugfixes and evorts updates, some changes to the naming of data types for the resources as well. One major change if that a new map object has been added, and a lot of methods of the game object have been moved into it.

Note that numerous API changes have been made to reorganize things better. See the release post for more details

Re: Shard
Redownloaded. Same problem. And no, I was testing easymetal with .27beta.

Crashes the moment players spawn.
Edit: I have VS2008 installed on my machine so I doubt that that is the problem.
