I did a little research and found this:

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/font.html

lucida sans it seems was a lucky guess, it's installed on windows by the sun Java runtime. That page also lists the necessary actions to load a ttf font and use it...

Don't spend your time telling me what I should and shouldnt be doing right now. I have enough problems as it is and this isnt as much of a priority at the moment. I apologize for being somewhat blunt, but I dont appreciate rude remarks like that.

*Response lag*

Did you read what I posted? That was hardly rude, it was a merely a polite suggestion to help you out. All I said was try joining a real Linux forum and ask a simple question to those whom are more knowledgeable. Last time I checked all you needed to join and use a forum is a browser that can render HTML. You don't need to install an entirely new operating system for just that. I apologize for being somewhat blunt, but I don't appreciate rude remarks like that.

I saw a rude remark. If you did not intend it as a rude remark you should have been more careful. Blunt remarks are usually identical to rude remarks but have different body language and tone attatched to them, and this is a text medium.

But please dont clutter the thread up any more than it has been.

Download Alpha 19 here

- Numerous GUI tweaks and repositions, colour changes, resizings
- Fixed an error with minimaps and mapnames not immediatly showing in the battle window
- Set a lot of components to use a 'SansSerif' font which the JRE should map onto an OS font at runtime.
- Fixed one or two resizing bugs
- Recompiled unitsync.dll

It's better, though the tabs are still not quite there:

Also, the menu needs resizing to see all options:
no more valid

And there's only one label with dots at the end, but that might be due to its length. So the font seems to be working.

I remember getting that last bug but I remember fixing it too and seeing it vanish

Download Alpha 19a here

That panel is white because its double buffered, and it seems it was resized accidentally to the right of the form.

I've also removed some margins on the top buttons.

Posted: **11 Mar 2007, 15:59**

Yep, no more dots.
The menu Page is also fine now.
The only issue issue remaining is the tabs - like on the first screenshot.

Posted: **12 Mar 2007, 14:46**

Does the issue stay if you resize the window?

Posted: **12 Mar 2007, 18:21**

Nope.

Justa quick update, I've fixed script generation so tasclient vs AFLobby should work.

Now I need to add support for starting rectangles, AI, and battle moderator commands, then I can start on the major UI overhaul.

Hi I am trying to get the Aflobby it's the new one that you done.

it keeps on giving me this error

unsatisfied link error, make sure you have a JNI aware Unitsync library in the same folder as AF Lobby, path: /home/samuelmp library path:

what does this mean, can you he;p me please

Posted: **23 Mar 2007, 12:39**

err, Operating system, version number, service packs?, What version of Java? Which Java runtime? How're you running it? Are you doing that from inside the archive or have you extracted the contents of the archive? Are you doing it via the provided scripts or running aflobby directly?

Please provide information! An error rport is useless if its just an error message wihout a context or description of what happened to get the error.

it means do you have a JNI aware unitsync libary in directory specified.

do you?

Posted: **23 Mar 2007, 15:54**

I am using Simply Mepis 6.5 RC1. I am using sun java 6 web start. I think I am from inside the archive, as I extracted it and the opend aflobby.jar with Java 6 Web start, that right click thing. i think i am running the lobby directly.

I don't know what you mean by the provided scripts.

I can see these file is aflobby_alpha19a folder

Lib = folder which has AbsoluteLayout.jar swing-layout-1.0.jar
aflobby.bat
aflobby.jar
aflobby.sh
libunitsync.so
unitsync.dll

service packs, I dont know what you mean by this but I don't use windows

Posted: **23 Mar 2007, 15:57**

iamacup, your probly right,

how do I do this JNI aware unitsync libary in directory specified,

Posted: **23 Mar 2007, 16:41**

You cant just start it thatw ay unless you're under windows

extract everything into the spring folder and run one of the scripts

aflobby.sh if under linux

aflobby.bat if under windows.

Running ubuntu edgy with java 6 sun runtime. The client crashed after I entered ID for a battle. I don't know the mod or any details about the game I was trying to join as I was just typing in ID numbers with the hope of striking lucky.

Also, I have some problems/questions.

The only way I can get the lobby running without the unitsync.so missing error (even when its there it doesn't work) and for the lobby to detect mods and maps (but not the AI) is by running the lobby via aflobby.sh. Should I be doing this? Using it was lucky guess.

Furthermore, where do I find/compile the unitsync.so and what directory do I place it in?

Here is the aflobby directory:

Another thing, is there anyway at all to tell which battles are open, locked, ingame etc... in the battle tab?

Edit: Also, is the lobby working

? I mean is it at a state where I can join a game and start spring? I tried to host a match just to test if running spring worked, but it didn't run. Is there some configuration I need to do? I'm using tobi's .debs.

Sorry for asking so many questions.

alpha 19a, no

alpha 20, yes

And yah, just running AFLobby directly means that Linux isnt told to look in the working directory so it never finds unitsync.so, hence the pre-prepared script.

As a side note, the battle tab is not intended to be the final look, rather its a quickly put together set of controls to let me test the underlying code.

Posted: **24 Mar 2007, 23:05**

Thanks AF, good luck with the upcoming alpha 20 release then. Besides what I have already mentioned I've not noticed any problems or bugs as of yet.
