I admire you AF. You do a very great job, making a client for spring. If I can be to any help, you must tell me. I am running Linux myself, and have some knowledge in programming (Not java
unfortunately), so maybe I couldn't help anyway
Btw. I have testet the client, but get some errors when trying to run beta 1.3. I get thiese errors, after pushing the login to server button:
Code: Select all
AFLobby beta1 Release candidate
Exception in thread "Timer-3" java.lang.NullPointerException
at aflobby.LMain.SetFocus(LMain.java:734)
at aflobby.CLoginProgress.NewEvent(CLoginProgress.java:43)
at aflobby.LMain.ProcessEvents(LMain.java:571)
at aflobby.LMain.Update(LMain.java:447)
at aflobby.UpdateTask.run(LMain.java:41)
at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:512)
at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:462)
Maybe its a common error, I don't know. But I can't join servers and it won't make any files in my {$HOME}/.aflobby directory,. So it won't display the minimap pictures. It could be a end user error
But in this case, Ill give you my java version etc.
Code: Select all
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)
Hope it tells you anything.

Ok i fixed the problem, with displaying the minimap. I just made a directory manual in my /.aflobby/ directory named "minimaps". Maybe the program won't make its own directories, even it got writepermissions?

Okay this is very
I don't know how I could miss it, but I should ofcourse copy the package1's contents to /.aflobby/
Hmm sry, everything works flawlessy now.

my little issues:
1. the url-regexp is only linking the first one:
http://example.com http://example.com
2. my lobby just hangs up after about 30 mins of idling. no error, just a freeze. how do i activate the debug-mode to report more details?
3. sometimes spring just drops the connection while being ingame (other players get a timed out error for me). after exiting spring the lobby is frozen.
4. some default smileys like
:)
could be automatically converted into graphics .. (just a gimmic .. low priority, though)
5. the url-regexp cuts the link off at a &-character
6. my timestamps are not correct. (note: my mainboard-clock is at GMT+0, but my OS handles the rest setting it to GMT+2 (german summer time). this is important as i wrote my own daemon referencing to the gmt-time and other things referencing to my "normal" time.) Also i think the 24-hour-format is more common than the 12h-format without a am/pm.
im using beta 1.3 as beta2 is not available yet
it's just annoing to restart the lobby every 10-60 mins ..

I like am pm, in UK its more a mix with most prefering 12hour clocks.
Also when spring just drops the connection, does this just happen to be while in a holepunching game? I can imagine that if the host drops from the lobby or something similair then AFLobby may resume sending UDP packets breaking springs lock and disconnecting but thats unlikely.

Extract into a folder then open that folder using netbeans 5.5+

Thx, for a new version.
What about drawing boxes? I can only host if this is included.
Oho you released the source. What a day.
Under which licenses have you released it?
Can you include saving of the size and position of the panels and split panels?
The same for the buttons in the Channel window?
I remember Java has a included settings tool for storing settings to a file.

RC2 Update
Startup times are up as I've changed numerous runnable objects into shortlived threads, so no ui pause while aflobby searches for the latest update.
I'm also thiking about adding a picture to distract users in the login progress screen, something interesting such as an animation but it has to be lightweight and have a transparent background.
In other news: Full Start Box support is here!. AFlobby users can now move swap resize, add and delete boxes, whereas tasclient users have to delete every single box and redraw from scratch. AFLobby will also draw the previous boxes underneath for reference.
Now I need to setup loading and saving .box files...

I'm getting two reference problems when I do this - one for substance.jar (resolvable by telling netbeans to look into the project folder), and one for jnlp.jar (not sure where that is).

Ok, I pointed jnlp.jar to the sample one included with netbeans 5.5, but I now get other compiler problems:

Go through in netbeans and nuke references to the jnlp thing. I added a jnlp as a test to see what would happen.
Substance.jar should be there in the immediate directory of the folder. Netbeans may have been an ass and used an absolute path not a relative one so check it.

Hmm it looks like the forum software is a bit old - PHPBB is supposed to have a feature where long blocks of text in
Code: Select all
segments automatically get scrollbars (eg: ubuntuforums.org)

I'm pretty sure that's from a rather popular mod actually.

The ubuntu forums use vBulletin as far as I know.
