MegaGlest / Re: cmd arg to change default config directory

« on: 8 January 2016, 15:54:07 »

...Can I use the same user data dir (~/.megaglest) for 3.11.1 as I do for the development version?...

Yes but (better) don't try launch different versions at once, with alternate launching there shouldn't be any problems.

Bug reports / Re: ini-path argument using relative path, non-critical

« on: 2 January 2016, 19:55:12 »

Basically we need here relative path, it is much more universal way. Same parameter will work for you and for someone else in the same situation.

There is nothing wrong in having possibility to set it as "absolute or relative" but conversion "relative" > "absolute" is imo a wrong idea.

In the glestuser.ini you will not find all the settings, just only few "modified by user" and it is not enough for MG.

Maps, tilesets and scenarios / Re: License discussion (NC and not NC )

« on: 9 December 2015, 20:33:17 »

So basically summing up a bit (in my opinion):
1. NC shouldn't be included into "basic data".
2. If/when we have NC in the mods' center then this always should looks like:
- all .xml as CC-BY-SA
- some models and textures may be as NC.

Additionally we should have some clause like e.g. "authors agree that all NC content after a year in the mods' centre will be automatically relicensed to CC-BY-SA".
By this authors will be happy by protection of their "fresh hard work" and you will be able to include some parts of this to "basic data" after some known time.

Bug reports / Re: v.3.9.1, message with download progress = 100% on the beginning of download

« on: 5 December 2015, 19:04:54 »

Recently I found out that downloading this archive (and another one vbross too) even manually using curl I see same effect, so this is probably related with archive/format/name/how it is stored on the server and less probably is related with some bug in the curl.

MegaGlest / Re: Megaglest executable icon (again)

« on: 11 October 2015, 16:31:03 »

Something like "shiny megaglest icon" is a good candidate as HQ icon for resolutions ~128x128 - ~1024x1024
and something like "matte-style logo with lighter text" is good candidate for LQ icon ~ 16x16 - ~64x64, so at least 2 of them are needed. Hard to tell which one is good between ~64x64 - ~128x128 which is quite important scope.

MegaGlest / Re: MegaGlest and NetBSD

« on: 10 August 2015, 18:57:10 »

So I don't see new hints, this is most likely some basic problem with gcc  .

Looks like I need to think about installing NetBSD in the VM and look for this closer.
How easy is NetBSD with installation? I hope it isn't like arch linux

... but this also will take some time to find a unknown problem on unknown OS .

MegaGlest / Re: MegaGlest and NetBSD

« on: 10 August 2015, 18:07:34 »

Well, first paste doesn't give me any hints.
The second paste says that there is some really serious problem in the basics, something in gcc/libc/or with messed up cache from cmake stage.

Try remove "build" directory, then create it again and then please show output from both stages, example:

Code: [Select]

rm -r build; mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
<some output> ...
<some output>
make
<some output> ...
<some output>

MegaGlest / Re: MegaGlest and NetBSD

« on: 9 August 2015, 14:42:07 »

...Would you want to see my error ? I can paste it all on pastebin, maybe you will understand something

Sure, it is always a good idea to show output 

Mh... There is one or two dependencies that I can not build actually : they are broken with NetBSD

But then I have a question, the missing libraries can make the make stop ?...

It depends which one.
For example VLC is very optional and if you have more serious problems with it (e.g. MacOS doesn't like VLC) you can compile without it.

MegaGlest / Re: MegaGlest and NetBSD

« on: 8 August 2015, 09:35:45 »

Well this output isn't very clear what is going on and because we basically are not a BSD users so it isn't so easy ...
Which compiler are you using?

General hints:
- You should use GCC as a compiler (for multiplayer compatibility),
- You should install required libraries before compilation.

Some informations about compilation you can find there:
- https://docs.megaglest.org/MG/FreeBSD_Compiling (may be outdated especially list of dependencies),
- https://docs.megaglest.org/MG/Mac_Compiling
- https://docs.megaglest.org/MG/Linux_Compiling

...Instead of having one destination point for unit, there might be more. once first point is reached, the following point is the new destination...

Sounds like you are talking about "queue". This exist and is very easy to do.

Example:
Select some unit > right click on some location > right click on some location with "shift" button > right click on some location with "shift" button > ...

For me most preferred info would be: "you have idle workers/slaves/robots" (name should be dynamic because those aren't always workers), but it also shouldn't spamming chat too much (some delay somewhere), which probably isn't so easy to do  .

MegaGlest / How to use megaglest for bechmarking the linux gfx drivers

« on: 6 July 2015, 22:32:17 »

(click to show/hide)

<bwidawsk> Hi. I'm looking to use megaglest for bechmarking the linux Intel GL driver. To do this, I need the have megaglast totally scriptable (run and exit from command line, and collect fps)
<bwidawsk> it seems almost all of this is already there, but I can't put all the pieces together
<bwidawsk> (and I can't figure out hot to get fps on the console)
<bwidawsk> I was hoping --auto-test=,,exit + --load-scenario would work, but it doesn't seem to
<bwidawsk> tomreyn: yes, I'm one of the devs for the i965 driver in mesa, and I've been spending a bit of time trying to expand our set of benchmarks
...
<bwidawsk> also I couldn't seem to get fps to console
<bwidawsk> you can add it here if you feel like being extra nice http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Benchmarking/
...
<filux> my idea to do this is "timeout 5m ./megaglest --load-scenario=benchmark" and add a line in the scenario to send result to console
<bwidawsk> filux: that's exactly what I'd want
<bwidawsk> 5 minutes is a bit too long, maybe in the 30-60s range
<bwidawsk> to get statistically significant data I have to run the thing 18-20 times
<filux> heh that was example, ok so you need shorter benchmark also
<bwidawsk> I mean, whatever you think is best - if 5m is the best you can do for good data, I'll take it
<bwidawsk> unigine benchmarks take about that long
...
<bwidawsk> btw, here's one of the the hodgepodge scripts we currently use to run the other benchmarks - if you want to get an idea for what we're willing to put up with :-)
...
<bwidawsk> oops, this: https://gitlab.com/bwidawsk/sixonix/blob/master/base.sh
...
<tomreyn> okay, i got it working
<tomreyn> we just lack a proper benchmark
<filux> I tested a bit this situation with slightly improved our benchmark and in my opinion optimal time is 70s and for now in console you will get something like "Your result: avg RenderFps = 59."
<filux> is that what you are looking for?
<bwidawsk> filux: yeah, that would be fine. Sometimes it's nice to have the min, if it drops down below 30 fps or something
<bwidawsk> but avg is fine
<bwidawsk> sometimes we see driver devs do stupid things to improve the average, but the per frame variance is high

1. Download special version of benchmark: gfx-benchmark.7z
2. Unpack it to: ~/.megaglest/scenarios/
3. Launch benchmark by:

Code: [Select]

timeout 70s ./megaglest --load-scenario=gfx-benchmark
4. Result in the console should look like: "Your result: avg RenderFps = 59."

Closed bug reports / [fixed] 3.12-dev, customModCreditsTexture doesn't respect data path modifiers

« on: 1 July 2015, 21:32:17 »

customModCreditsTexture (@ glest_game/menu/menu_state_about) doesn't respect data path modifiers,
1. from parameters e.g. "megaglest --data-path=..."
2. from glest-dev.ini "DataPath=$APPLICATIONPATH/..."

It's quite essential bug in relation to Ishmaru's games .

Ok thanks, but now next build will take a lot more time.

Suprisingly there is some incompatibility between libraries on the same OS and same version of OS, on linux it is pretty rare even between completely different distributions  .

Closed bug reports / Re: Megaglest 3.11.1 fails to run on kubuntu 15.04.

« on: 4 June 2015, 22:05:10 »

The official way to fix problems with standalone client on ubuntu 15.04+ etc. in order is:

1. Download file: megaglest-mu-3.11.1-linux.tar.gz .
2. Unpack it somewhere.
3. Copy script "megaglest-mini-update.sh" into game directory (there where is "start_megaglest").
4. Launch script "megaglest-mini-update.sh" once.
5. Launch "start_megaglest".

If after this you see any message about missing library in your OS then as always in such situations you should install those libraries.

(click to show/hide)

...**quick update** I noticed after installing ubuntu MATE on my netbook that there were some dependencies missing. If you are failing to run megaglest (using the start_megaglest script) check that these dependencies are installed by running this command:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libopenal1 libftgl libircclient libvlc5
you might have other dependencies that you need to install you'll just have to work through installing them one by one...
