[Linux Lobby] AFLobby Beta 3.9.7

[AF]

say you the host sends FORCESPECTATOR []AF to the server, you'd think that I []AF would recieve FORCEDSPECTATOR or FORCESPECTATOR []AF right?

nope, instead you get sent your BATTLESTATUS []AF newstatusinteger. This doesnt tell you what changed or wether it was the host or you who did it.

So the obvious thing todo si to check BATTLESTATUS to see if its saying something about you and set your own battlestatus to the servers right?

No! Because then you end up in a big loop with you sending your status and the server sending the changed status then you setting it only to receive a new status set from before and so on looping.

Untill betalord or somebody else corrects this ridiculous setup I'm just going to ignore it and pretend the server doesn't support it, because this is a horrendous kludge of almighty proportions, something I'd consider a fatal flaw int he TASServer protocol, a major bug needing correcting immediately.

That sounds extremely stupid!
What a wierd implementation!!

Hi!

The lobby is looking great AF , but I have a problem with the JNI:

"/usr/games/libjavaunitsync.so: libpython2.5.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Apparently debian testing doesn't have python 2.5 (it's still 2.4). Is there a way to use the lobby with with the 2.4 or do I really need to install 2.5

Sorry if this is a repeated question, but I couldn't find it in of the pages I looked for.

[AF]

I'm not one to ask on the specifics of compiling it for linux or dependencies on linux as I'm a windwos suer

Are you sure debian testing doesn't have 2.5? I'm using ubuntu and it has it, and it's a debian derivative, meaning there must be some .deb files around.

EDIT: Quick search on google; http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Debian go down the page and look under Prerequisites:

Python 2.5 is installable from Debian testing but, as of 2007 Feb 16, it is "unsupported" in the sense that Python modules are not compiled with support for 2.5 by default....

Just follow the instructions there; they don't seem to be too hard, but not exactly "apt-get python2.5" either.

Registration is fixed, now to try fixing battle

[AF]

Added a second password field for validation in the reg view as requested by lippy. Small checks on the contents of the fields added.

[AF]

I have fixed the issue with battle and fixed one or two errors aswell as a few minor architectural changes. I have also corrected a few errors regarding sending MYSTATUS a little too often.

Also forcespectator type commands now work correctly on aflobby users.

I also corrected a small bug where setting a cbattleplayer objects side wouldnt actually do anything.

[eXTra Large]

It seems like other people havehad problems with this but I can't find a fix:

Unsatisfied link error Make sure you have a JNI aware UnitSync library in the same folder as AFLobby, and that it is compiled correctly using the latest java bindings. AFlobby needs the unitsync library to be able to use spring. Linux users need libjavaunitsync.so Windows users need javaunitsync.dll Apple Mac users need libjavaunitsync.dylib (Mac is not entirely supported and upto date mac builds of unitsync arent included due to time restrictions)

I'm using version alpha 23b.
Where should I have that library? It's in the aflobby directory already.

[AF]

alpha 23b is old and unsupported, use the unitsync in alpah23b or use the beta1 builds I've linked to since.

[eXTra Large]

This might be my problem: how do you "use" the unitsync library?
Anyway, I'll try downloading a newer version.

[AF]

put the libjavaunitsync.so in the same folder as aflobby.jar and aflobby.sh

And remember to run aflobby using th script not the jar, there're command line parameters required for java to find the unitsync library.

[eXTra Large]

Thanks for your help. Now it's finding the library but it apparently requires a newer version of libc6 than I have installed, so it looks like I'm screwed. Thanks anyway.

when i host a battle i'll get an exeption thrown and the panel displaying the players stays empty.
additionally i get an "status recieved from serer?" in the chat-box

Yeah I get the same problem, with the except of the terminal output. When I join a battle (not hosting) every action I preform (change to spec, colour, team/ally, chat) I get "status received from server?" in the chat box in the battle lobby.

Also, context menus in the battle tab still don't work.

[AF]

hmm i thought I'd removed that message.....

[AF]

http://www.darkstars.co.uk/randomfiles/ ... build1.zip

New Build:

-Fix: Playerdata object is now initialized for the players own player object.
-Fix: A check for null playerdata object in battle side view redraw routine.
-Fix: A debug message was removed from the battle class.
-New: Smileys are loaded from /aflobby/images/smileys now/ allowing users to modify remove or add their own.

This means both package1.zip and package2.zip have been updated.
