Horde 8-Bit Waves Of Death! - [WIP UPDATED JUNE 26 2013]

[masteryoom]

This game does not work for me. I downloaded the game once. I unzipped it and ran the jar file. It gave me a black screen and then crashed. I then tried to do it on the command line, but it couldn't find the jarfile. I then downloaded the game again. I unzipped it and ran the game. The main screen (or whatever it is) popped up. But, the game was lagging a lot, even though it said its fps was 60. It then crashed when i tried to start a new game.
If this is made in java 1.8 +, then that is the answer, as i haven't updated yet ().

[wessles]

Well, maybe you ran it wrong. Let me try it... Should only take a second.

[wessles]

There. I ran the version, and it worked... Anyone else having problems? Perhaps you ran it wrong? I mean, I ran it, and it starts at 8fps for millisecond, then it just jumps to 60fps. My computer sucks as far as processing, and graphics (Intel 3000 Hd FTW), so it can't be a performance issue. Wait until someone else comes up with this issue. I'll try to get my freind to do it...

[masteryoom]

What do you mean, ran it wrong?
If your interested, im on windows

[wessles]

You mentioned cmd? Looking back Idk What I was saying, but I think I was suggesting you did

1	java -jar Horde

Instead of

1	java -jar Horde.jar

[wessles]

Oh, and friend had the same problem. I have no idea what it is... Can you run with cmd again? Perhaps you made the mistake I said before.

[masteryoom]

I ran in cmd line and found a NoClassDefFound error:

Looks like it's trying to load from the local machine, which would explain why it works on your own PC, but not someone else's.

[wessles]

Will fix!
EDIT:
Say, how will I fix? 

[Troncoso]

Well, I tried it myself, it ran once just fine, now I can't run it again because of that same error. So, there's that.

OH! I know the problem, or at least what is causing the inconsistancy. At start, it randomly chooses the player type. If it is a wizard, the gun type is not a firearm. It is a DevelopersWandOfFreakinAwesome gun type. Thus the inconsistancy. Just run a few times, until you get to be a wizard. Then enjoy easter egg goodness. Meantime, I will work on a patch.

[deathpat]

This seems to be an issue with the file name that does not match the class name (FireArm vs Firearm) ... I guess Troncoso and masteryoom are running the game under linux

[masteryoom]

windows, actually

[wessles]

So which do I choose? And where do I change? Do I change the file name, or the class?

[Troncoso]

The file name has to match the class name, including case. That's all.

[wessles]

Strange. The source says that it is identical. But when I decompile, it is different. 

[wessles]

There, I might have fixed it. Try re-Downloading.

[masteryoom]

In the new down load, it does work thankfully.  But, when i was playing, the game suddenly lagged, and then crashed.

[wessles]

What happened? Any particular event? Were you near the edge? It was all dandy for me!
Yes. I said dandy past the 50's

[masteryoom]

At the same point, it happened again, and it was an OutOfBoundsException:

[wessles]

What player were you? Where were you? What were you doing?

[masteryoom]

I was the gun guy, and I was shooting a zombie, i think

[wessles]

Where were you?

[masteryoom]

not sure i think i was in different places at both times.

[wessles]

B/c That is the lighting trying to light a tile that does not exist, and -2 x or y tile. Not sure what happened, but I think that you were at the edge of the world, and the lighting screwed up
Does this happen every time?

[wessles]

Anyone like the new promo pic and title?

[HeroesGraveDev]

It's (slightly) ironic how the text "8-bit waves of death" isn't 8-bit.

[wessles]

Well, what do you want me to do? 16? 32? OOH! OOH!
HORDE 64

[HeroesGraveDev]

There's nothing wrong with it.
I was just pointing out the irony.

[wessles]

No, I mean what would make it 8 bit? Look here: http://deadpixelsthegame.com/#Info.
Their slogan is 8 bit, and they are obviously 16 bit. Yes, nothing wrong with it, but I don't see the irony here...
