Thanks for feedback. I havent tried to build it on 64-bit.
Fix commited, would be grateful if you can try again.

[cleanrock]

My previous guess was a failure, new tested 64-bit fix commited.
I tested it in a 64-bit virtualbox guest.

[luckywaldo7]

Awesome! Works for me now.

And no screenshots? Nice for using FLTK toolkit.

[cleanrock]

Screenshot added to first post.

[wolas]

Just tried it typical FLTK based app - ugly as hell :D

[cleanrock]

Config and cache locations changed, see this commit comment for how to keep settings and cache files:

Also updated first post and added a new screenshot.

[cleanrock]

Added distribution install info in first post.
I would be grateful if someone made flobby 0.2 available in spring ppa, i have tested that flobby works in 13.04.

[cleanrock]

flobby now supports engine download and automatic selection of engine when joining games (spring profile name must match engine version which is the case when engines are downloaded).
Because of the 91.0 unitsync problem i have disabled static link to pr-downloader.
By default flobby now builds and installs pr-downloader, if you want to skip this just disable WITH_PRD in cmake, e.g. "cmake -DWITH_PRD=NO ." or disable it in ccmake gui.

uberserver seem to not get enough cpu at times so i reduced PONG timeout sensitivity, rebuild ur flobby.

yep, idk what exactly causes this, but afaik the move from the old server is complete. only thing i know is that the server has maybe every 6 hours a load of >100 for 1 minutes or so, time seems random.

Added matchmaking support in 0.2-42-gf10181f.
Please update your flobby to not break zero-k matchmaking hosts.

[malric]

It the matchmaking (queue) support (still) working? I have tried to join a queue, but as soon I join the host where we should play I am specced.

In case it helps, log is at http://pastebin.com/WLH06W4d , I tried to join only once in this session (look for runProcess). User name "malric".

[cleanrock]

It the matchmaking (queue) support (still) working? ...

Should be fixed now (tested), please update your flobby.
I should have tested this myself when flobby was allowed/enabled yesterday.
Thanks for reporting.

[malric]

Thanks for the fast fix! Will test tonight and report back if I have any problem.

[cleanrock]

Update flobby to be able to login to lobby.zero-k.info.
To run two flobby clients simultaneously i recommend setting XDG env vars for the extra flobby instance, e.g:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/flobby_zk
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=~/flobby_zk
flobby

[cleanrock]

Turns out overriding XDG env vars is not that good when opening web links, update flobby and use new -d|--dir argument instead, e.g. :
$ flobby -title zk -d ~/flobby_zk
