@quew8

I don't know what to do.. I update Libgdx quite often so I hope this will be resolved soon...

@SHC

I'm reworking on the UI right now so you'll be soon in the credits !!!

[titoasty]

new ui and credits added !

[matheus23]

Confirming that it works on Arch Linux 64 bits.

I'm using this bash script to start the game:

1   2

#!/bin/sh java -Djava.library.path="./libs/natives/" -jar clashtune.jar

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

[titoasty]

Thanks for the script, I added it !

[titoasty]

new ui still in progress and now working hard on network game !
if some want to help playing with network, help would be really appreciated !

What does 'help playing with network' mean? Are you talking about code or about testing?

I'd love to help you test it, but I can only moderately help you with code

[SHC]

@matheus23

I think it's about testing.

[titoasty]

yes it's about testing the network !
it SHOULD work in best cases, i'm currently testing it, but there are still a lot of error cases to test...

[SHC]

@titoasty

Shall we test it now? My IP ADDRESS is 127.0.0.1

[Drenius]

A joke?

A joke?

Yeah I couldn't think he was serious. Really. That's. I don't even...

[lcass]

I will say from when i first saw this project to where it is now is amazing a huge transformation very good work!

[titoasty]

@lcass
Thank you ! The game is still far from being finished...

[titoasty]

still working hard on the network...
new version should be a bit more reliable !

[titoasty]

major network consolidation and spawn points added for buildings !
anyone tried a network game yet ?

[titoasty]

okay, now looking for people to actively test the network.
there are still a lot of bugs and I need to make real tests and to know what problems you can find.
Any help appreciated !

I just created channel #clashtune on freenode :

server : irc.freenode.net
port : 6667
channel : #clashtune

come and have a drink !

[titoasty]

Woopee, after some tests, network seems to work fine !
Synchronizations are quite good but need more tests.
But it's now on the right path !

[SHC]

@titoasty

I've found a new bug in the game, the display settings only apply the next time you run the game. Confirmed it on OS X 64bit, Windows 8 32bit, Ubuntu 64bit.

[titoasty]

in fact, resolution and shadows only apply after restart, but grass does apply immediately

[titoasty]

New graphics and physic engine !

I had to totally rewrite the physic engine because of determinism.
Box2d is not determinist and for RTS games you need a totally determinist physic engine so I decided to write one. As I only need simple shapes (circles and AABB), the engine has been done in only 2 days.
And it became a major improvement in networking !
Now the network is much more stable

I added a lot of graphic stuffs like cel shading, bloom, some color effects, ...
Need to rewrite the rendering of the particle engine for better performance.
And to improve overall speed also !

In the meantime, I will work on better gameplay experience and units behaviours.
The game is quite stable at the moment and I can now work on this side I put apart for a long time.

Have fun !

This reminds me of HearthStone, just a little... less 3d. (not that it can really be less 3d, but you know what I mean)

The game looks cool, excited to check it out!

[titoasty]

hmmm seems a shader problem, let's investigate into this !

[titoasty]

@newera31 : I just put a new version to fix this shader problem, hope this will help !

@newera31 : I just uploaded a new version, I think I found the left errors ! (I don't have this exception, so hard to debug...)

[RobinB]

You can check for warnings with

1   2

int s = glCreateShader(GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER); String warnings = glGetShaderInfoLog(s, 1024);

Always check these, not only on errors.
