Reviving Mini Adventure

[krypto]

Project Approved Let the Flood gates Open

I have updated cvs and will aprove members as they apply. The ide shoulc compile and build in your favorite environment (provided you set up the classpath). Kevin, I will need some help to get Webstart/Server/Client working again.

Now Where were all those volunteers?

[kevglass]

Excellent news, need to get some webspace sorted out so we can discuss what you need in some bespoke forums Unless of course you want to attempt to use the java.net forum system

or perhaps GameLizard

[SpuTTer]

I can host a domain if someone wants to buy it, otherwise I can  host a subdomain or whatever if you dont mind it being one I already own.

Or gamelizard or the java.net thing, whatever

Thanks Sputter I think We should just a decent site up and running. I'll worry about buying the domain later. We just need a place (that is More mainstream than java.net) to post releases, FAQ, DOCs, etc. You are more than welcome to pull all the stuff from the www dir in cvs to get a start if you are still interested. I guess we could keep using cvs to store the web stuff as a back up. I'm sure Kevin won't mind you using any pertinent info from http://laminos.newdawnsoftware.com
Thanks Again.

On another note, Many developers signed up yesterday, I guess its time we started working.

[krypto]

Will everyone who has volunteered let me know what area you wish to work in. I guess we'll start assiging issues.

BTW I added some images to cvs this morning. You should have better luck running now. Anybody have any questions on getting things built?

[kevglass]

ant scripts?

Kev

[krypto]

I don't have any ant scripts but if anyone hashes it out. We will add them to cvs.  I just mount the source in my ide and add the jars, and resources dir to my classpath(via the ide)

Have you tried compiling yet Kev?

[kevglass]

Nope, its on my long list of pending tasks to get sorted once I can spend proper amounts of time on the computer.

Hi
I used eclipse, and it gave me the following:
There seems to be some .java files missing, like "org.javagaming.jrpg.tools.gui.Arrow2D, ...area.AreaTool" etc.

Running BootStrap gave me the login frame   but clicking on "login" gave "Failed to find reference: resources/icons/trash.gif" and exited.

[kevglass]

The second error is caused by not classpathing through the directory containing "resources"

Dan,

Sorry bout that. I fixed it. Update your CVS and try again.
Also The ide class is JRPGide.java , let me know how you make out.

[Daniel_F]

Now its only complaining about "ToolBar cannot be resolved in JRPGide.java", everything else seems to be fine

After commenting it out and trying to run, it could not find resources/icons/tools/save.gif. strange is that it is not even in
https://jrpg.dev.java.net/source/browse/jrpg/resources/icons/tools/

I created a fake save.gif right there, than gave the "error ...saveas.gif", and after creating that it the error was "...open.gif", so maybe I have some missing resource files?

Sorry Again DAN, More CVS blunders please bear with me during this initila phase. Try and update now, You will see the toolbar and the icons.

[Daniel_F]

Oh it works now  

I would like to know if there will be a forum/board for jrpg becouse one thread is a bit small  

[krypto]

Hopefully we will have our own board set up soon.

[gamehacer2000]

I'd like to implement the combat system. The user will have to wait a certain amount of time based on the character's speed and profession ex. a thief would be able to attack quicker than a character of different class and has the same speed.  Likewise, damage would also be based on profession. Knights would be able to inflict greater damage with physical attacks. Wizards would be able to inflict greater damage with magical attacks. Clerics would have greater healing powers.  I was also thinking of damage multipliers. If two characters attack a monster at the exact ie within 1 ms of each other, each character will inflict twice as much damage on the monster.

Your it, grab CVS and go for it. Once the server is up we can try simple tests.

[kevglass]

Um, you might be a bit limited at the moment since there arn't any monsters

Kev

[krypto]

Not Yet anyways... Couldn't monsters just be a special type of NPC

[kevglass]

They could be. Yep.

Hi
The resources seem to be still inaccurate.
First, trash.gif, eat.gif, and examine.gif are missing.
After creating a server and connecting to it I got this, and messages: "Unable to load: ...gen1108042220-talk.xml" etc...(missing too)

After I replaced the resource files with the files from ma-*.jar from http://www.cokeandcode.com/miniad/ it was OK.

Oh and could not connect to bob.newdawnsoftware.com, gave a nullpointerexception in Actor2D.java:60, but I think its because the version mismatch(?).

Good work Dan. I think your resource problems are because I have been loading the editors resources from the resources directory,  not the jars. I need to update the jars for these new images. The scripts in cvs will do this
(need some editing.) probably  not too hard to fix tho.
I'm glad you got a server running. Keep up the good work.

[krypto]

Well this weekend was so busy I didn't get as much done as I had hoped. I did however fix a bug were zooming messed up the npc paths. I also implented code to load all defined areas into a dropdown in the toolbar, and let you switch by simply selecting one.

did anyone else accomplish anything? I will probably start assinging issues/task now. Including anything I am working on. This will allow us to better track our progress.

I wonder If Kevin had any luck w/ the Server. I got the server running locally in my environment. But I couldn't connect ot it from the client. BTW for those who had trouble hunting it down,

AdventureServer == server;
BootStrap == Client (Logon);

[kevglass]

I'm afraid I was dragged to family gathering of assorted nature this weekend which cut in to dev time considerably.

What error/log did you get when you failed to connect?

Kev

[krypto]

When I used localhost as the server there was obviously no known users, so I tried to register and when I clicked the register button, I got a message : FAiled to connect to registration server. IS this a seperate process.

Also I can't find
eat.gif
trash.gif
examine.gif

So I just mad fake ones for now.

[krypto]

Sorry.. Man I'm dumb..
Found the REgServer and ran it. Got this error when I click register:

1   2   3

14/1/2005 6:52:41 : Connected: [Connection: /127.0.0.1:2519] 14/1/2005 6:52:41 : Failed to response to :[Connection: /127.0.0.1:2519] 14/1/2005 6:52:42 : Disconnect: [Connection: /127.0.0.1:2519]

I'm also getting errors like this is the AdventureServer log:

1   2   3   4   5

14/1/2005 6:55:38 : Warning: Trevor the Inn Keeper requested Enter for OutsideDoor which doesn't exist! 14/1/2005 6:55:38 : Warning: Trevor the Inn Keeper attempted to move to non-existent area: homestead-inn 14/1/2005 6:55:39 : Warning: Trevor the Inn Keeper requested Enter for OutsideDoor which doesn't exist!

[kevglass]

Yep, the registration server is a seperate process. Don't want the regserver accidently pulling down the main server....

https://jrpg.dev.java.net/source/browse/jrpg/source/src/org/javagaming/jrpg/regserver/RegServer.java

As to the icons.. hmm.. thought I'd mail you the latest stuff...  guess it doesn't matter too much at the moment since you're replacing the graphics anyway. Thinking about it those icons must be the original ma-resources.jar. Just grab um from there.

Kev

[krypto]

Yeah I Saw the RegServer.. See My Latest Greatest error above
