Technopolies

[g666]

About the Display-before-Keyboard-stuff mentioned in the JGF: I assume this is caused by the Display not initialized because of the lack of matching video modes. I had a look in the properties file and you are setting the bpp to 32. This is fine on Windows, but on Linux, you don't get 32bpp reported by the driver but 24bpp. Maybe that's the problem?

screen depth could be adjusted in /home/.technopolies/techno.properties
g666, could you try setting screen depth to 16 ?

1	screen.depth=16

I looked and it was already 16 so i set my desktop to 32 and then it works. However, It wont connect to the server and i get null pointers when i click on the screen.

Looks like the old properties file makes you to connect to old server.

Delete "home/user/.technopolies" folder to reset to default
or adjust the following property:

1	server.host=dev.maryno.net

I will fix it for the next version

bump!

Me and my friends are doing very similar game, just not mmorpg but more like an arcade. We would love to see the resources and especially the source code if it that is ok and anybody from the project can read this after that long time... thank you.

Oh yeah and this is a crazy bump, it been like 3 years.

Its no longer being worked on.
His last post about it on jpct was

Hey guys,

Sorry to say that, but Helge is right - I've stopped working on the project after 2 years of development. Just couldn't get it evolved into something more global than just my personal hobby.

It was my all-time favorite, I really enjoyed the time being spent as the part of the jPCT community and I wish the community to live and prosper.

Yeah real pity, i searched this guy rolz too. I found some more recent posts of his on a java EE forum about databases and such. What a waste, he was obviously pretty talented. His game seemed very similar to runescape.

[zammbi]

Yeah very talented.
Seems many would like to grab his source code and have a look (including me  )

[h3ckboy]

maybe we can (if he will agree) turn it into a community project .

we will need his source first.

you said you found some "recent" posts. how recent is that exactly?
