Ok I am comming so far

Comandhistory:
svn checkout http://tc.serveftp.net/svn/springlobby/trunk springlobby
cd springlobby/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

make crashes with error 2. This is the output of a second make run:

I am running Debian64 Testing. wx-widgets 2.6.3 is the newest version in debian.

Any hints where to look?

I think this problem is fixed in latest svn, just run svn update and try again.

Yes now it compiles flawless.

The sad thing is, it does not seem to work.
config/connect: work
chat: work
hosting: not found (i assume not implemented)
join: does not work. game starts, but instead of connecting to the target system it starts a local game and switched my name to the name of the person who was hosting.
Maybe

Code: Select all

MyPlayerNum=0;

was set wrong? I expected 1. (If you need the complete script_springlobby.txt I can upload it.)
Additionall the lobby seems not to catch mapchanges of the host.

in computing the first number is zero not one.

array[0] preceeds array[1]

0123456789

Another minor thing is that there're two zero values possible, a positive and negative zero.

So if spring was fed players starting with PLAYER1 it would crash trying to find player 0.

chlue · Post by **chlue** » 23 Jul 2007, 18:03

I am aware, that indexing arrays usually starts with 0, but Player0 was the host while I was Player1 and spring assumed I was host. So I suspect that the number should be 1.

Code: Select all

...
	MyPlayerNum=0;

	NumPlayers=2;
	NumTeams=2;
	NumAllyTeams=2;

	[PLAYER0]
	{
		name=host;
		Spectator=0;
		team=0;
	}
	[PLAYER1]
	{
		name=chlue;
		Spectator=0;
		team=1;
	}
...

indeed you are correct.

tc- · Post by **tc-** » 24 Jul 2007, 02:09

Thanks for reporting, I will check it out and see what the problem is.

Edit: Should be fixed in latest svn.

It's not that simple. Whether 0 is the first index for an array is judged case by case. There are some languages where the first index is 1.

In this case it is a matter of spring script.txt protocol definition to tell which it should be, there is no "default" value.

I speak from a computer engineering point of view rather than a computer language point of view.

So in which case the first value is always zero, regardless of the language. It just happens that some languages decrement these things when compiled for the sake of appearing more user friendly and natural to the programmer.

And then messing it up for everyone else.

I would prefer to always have 0 as the start.

I mean -1, 0, 1

You wouldn't just miss out 0 would you.

do you have the python 2.5 libs installed?

I'll be willing to make Debian/Ubuntu packages of this if you guys make a release

tc- · Post by **tc-** » 31 Jul 2007, 22:23

A new windows binary has been released. As usual I would like to point out that it's a very early test realease

There is probably still some bugs in the start scripts but I think most bugs have been sorted out by now.

It can be found here:

I'll try to get you some feedback when I can.

The lobby crashes if you try to join a game and you do not have the map. Here is a patch that fixes that:

http://ce.et.tudelft.nl/~vladms/spring/ ... tch0.patch

General question. As you have a trac would you want to post patches there ? :D (I would assume yes, but right now I am a bit lazy so I just ask)

tc- · Post by **tc-** » 03 Aug 2007, 10:55

malric: Thanks fo the patch

Yeah, preferably you add a ticket to trac and then if you have a patch just attach it. But this works too

Can you include a plugin interface? Maybe for another language, lua or what I prefer mono.
If you would do this I would join the team and help on the plugin system or integration on other languages.
