Well, it takes some, maybe considerable, time. Though I already have 2.5 meg diff-patch (by rasz), but the author points, that it breaks the game execution. Probably, I'll cut this file to pieces

Maybe the case. it's important under linux. Have you tried to rename the savegame directory? Like "SaveGames" to "savegames".

Definitely reproducable... also loading an existing IMP via typing their nickname doesn't work

Page 4 of 91 ---- Generated from The Bears Pit (tried with an old one by me and the ones from the IMPDB). When I start a new game and try to load an IMP, I get 'Cannot load IMP character from disk'. However, when I first hire an AIM merc, then close the laptop, open it again and try to load an IMP, I get 'You have already the maximum number of IMP characters with that gender on your team.', though there are no IMPs at all.

Saving and using face items works allright now (as expected)... now the serious testing can begin for me (man, I love when 'serious testing' means popping some heads )

Whatever is available... when playing the windows build, it's rev845 (exe1080) at the moment. The data I use is for the Linux build is from rev 734, as recommended by Lesh.

False alarm by me... I just tried to load an IMP created with the Linux build and it worked. I didn't think the handling of IMP.dat (or .dat) had changed. I'll fiddle with the IMP creation some more tomorrow and maybe see what exactly works and what not. It's 4am and every bug could as well be my mind playing tricks on me -.-

Assuming you use Linux (you do, do you?! )... just open a terminal and type cd svn co https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir -r 734 par

The number between '-r' and 'par' is the revision you want to download. Type 'svn help' or 'svn help co' for more info, what exactly you're doing.

Then get yourself a drink or play a game, because the download is about 600MB and will need a while. You could also get a SVN client (or GUI) like esvn, which does the same for you , but is more self-explanatory.

No more major bugs today, only good news: New maps and changed XMLs (map, army, wepons, items, everything) work without any problems (as far as I tested, at least)

I found a weird bug. when i right click on an object, i can't get the description box and it's make the interface mostly unusable ( "quit" button do nothing for example). If i right click on a gun, i get only the unload button. I also get theses errors :

Yes that is right.

- Infobox_interface only contains the infobox-graphic (put it in the Data\Interface folder) - Infobox.sti contains the infobox-graphic + the different colored ammos (put it in the Data-1.13\Interface folder)

Should not impact the game. Just will be annoying. The same will be, when you are offered to place your mercs at sector border before attack (overhead screen). The game will generate dozens of non-existant filenames here. This is normal.

The log is ->here. I think it's something with the quicksaves, as massive quicksaving and -loading was the only unusual thing I did at that moment.

There are also frequent freezes, when I alt-tab between windows during a game. I don't mean the usual freeze like when enemy sniper takes his time, but complete freeze, stopping the cursor, that can only be ended by killing the terminal. Don't know if alt-tab is the reason though, because they sometimes happen instantly, sometimes minutes later and sometimes (but very seldom) without changing the windows or any other obvious reason. NOt very helpful, I know, but anyway...

Next one (man, the list is becoming long today): The terminal shows lots of messages like this: Error opening/creating file SOUNDS\STAND TO CROUCH.WAV: No such file or directory also with some different .wav files. Strange thing is, that the sounds are actually played (or my mind and ears are playing tricks on me...) and the game doesn't crash, freeze or in fact do anything unusual at all... I'll try a fresh install, fresh data and a new game today... maybe it helps.

Next one (absolutely not critical this time): When buying usd stuff from Bobby Ray's, the order form shows '*AAAAAAAAAAA...' , instead of the name. I'm not even sure if that maybe was a bug in all 1.13 versions...

Bug with the mail screen is confirmed. The one with goggles and extended ear too. That should be all for today...

Sleepyfox - CTD when, on the militia vs soldiers window, i click the button which instantly "end" the fight. This one happened to me too. Had some greenies stationed in Drassen and got attacked... when I press the button, the outcome is displayed for a moment, but the next instant, the game is gone. I saved before the battle, so it was fully reproducable. The fast forward button (>>) or wating for the fight to end, however, works fine.

Savegame sent! I have an interesting story about this one. I reloaded a Little bit earlier savegame.

There were 2 soldiers left. One on the roof top and one inside the building, near the northwest door of the central room (where the general is). I killed the soldiers on the roof ---> CTD. So i went back in the game, i killed first the soldier inside the building. No CTD. Then i killed the one on the roof. One shot, one killed (god bless AET), back to real time, no freezes no CTD. Maybe a AI problem (again). Geez, the AI code must be in a mess! You have courage working on it.

Anyway, I get a segfault in line 970 of alpha/lpja2/src/sgp/library_database.cpp as it calls the glibc strcasecmp _stricmp(pFilenameWithoutPath, openLibraryFiles->pFileName) if pFilenameWithoutPath is a non-existent file (for example: SPEECH\\054_055.WAV). I'm not properly sure what the problem is so I don't have a real patch just a detour. Why is it looking for 054_055.WAV anyway? I don't have anything like that in my Data*.

Currently I'm trying to figure out a hang in physics.cpp (maybe) but I can't fully unravel the code loops at my current level of understanding. If anyone (Lesh?) is interested try . Just end the turn and pass on the interupts. It should hang in the last third of opponents turn. The code involved is full of DebugMsg full of interesting profanity and my guess is this is not a porting bug. If it doesn't hang for you please resave and let me have it back, as I MUST RETAKE Drasen

NOTE: in order to run game, you'll need to update game data at least to rev.791 !!! This revision corresponds to 872 release. Otherwise - "run-time error" due to new xml file.

Sleepyfox- Some problems when shooting tracer ammo. Cone of Light tend to stay a long time, spits (when bullets hit something) stay frozen, etc. Hmm... Need savegame to investigate!

Sleepyfox- Sound problem when shooting more than 50 rounds of bullets. OMG! More that 50 rounds! Ok. 1. AFAIK, no gun has burst sound for more than 50 rounds. 2. (This is true for ESD users, e.g. me) ESD sound subsystem produces noticable delay in sound playback. 3. Or you need to describe this problem more precisely.

Sleepyfox- Text pop up that appeared under cursor are sometime "annoying". It does not always work very well. If this means, that tooltip text stays on screen, when it should disappear, so I already noticed and fixed that.

Sleepyfox- Sometime, i don't get anymore subtitles. Even with the subtitles enabled in the option screen. Hmm... Maybe this somehow interact with previous bug?

SleepyfoxI'll be very happy to run the game in a fullscreen mode. That'll save my eyes. My develpoment (not alpha) svn branch already has version, where you can activate fullscreen via command line. I noticed, that in fullscreen mouse is less sensitive. Strange, but still playable.

Yes, i think it's the same problem. Don't worry about that now.

Currently there is cone of light tracer bursts. I just didn't handled that huge patch, made by Overhaul, where cone of light was replaced by moving light sources.

I don't bother if shot 1 sounds the same as shot 16. Please enlighten me, if there is any good reason for having thousands of soundfiles but still a restriction to 50 shots. Actually, in our mod shot1-sound isn't the same as shot16-sound. The last holds the sound of 16 bullets, flying out from barrel, while the first is only one.

Ideal solution, IMHO, is to use only shot1-sound and loop it's playback as many times, as we need. But not all current sounds suits well for such looping (well, I did't check this, I can't be sure). Additionally, we were trying to syncronize animation and sound of bursting. This is some kind of restriction for using unversal loop file: it can ruin the sound of burst, if shot-file is longer, than the time between two consecutive shots.

Interesting, thought... Should I try shot-sound looping?

No, because it either my own bug or bugs, taken from main branch and fixed then, using the main branch again. Bugfixes in diff, related to main branch, are sent via e-mail to all developers. I concentrated on linux version and do not manage windows versions. I even don't have the latest revision on main branch, I am only using diffs from revision to revision.

RoWa21Is it planned to merge the Linux version so we only have "one" ja2 1.13 version? Hard to say. There is some problems, I've encountered, while porting. My version is "old" in compare with the current main branch (872 vs 1280+). I suppose, not all windows coders know, how to write cross-platform code (I already promised to Seargent Kolja cross-platform build issues document). I've made radical changes to project - mass renameing of current files and changes in the file naming policy. This would be my first condition in order to merge projects.

Many things to discuss...

Should I try shot-sound looping? That would be interesting, but may be more difficult than simply looping the first shot as often as needed. With some guns there's an effect like ejected shells falling to the ground (the AUG, for example, many others too), which lasts longer than the time that is needed to fire the next shot... the result is, that the single shot sounds overlap, making it necessary to play the same sound 2 or 3 times at a given moment, only slightly offset... I would prefer downloading a few hundred MBs of sounds (once) over losing these small, realistic effects.

Your new revision corrects the compilation problem, too, by the way. I haven't started playing yet, but the game now launches just fine.

I would humbly and respectfully like to suggest something. And that's with no sarcasm intended, I really do have a lot of respect for people who can do what you do, Lesh. But a programmer can be so close to a project that it's easy to forget that there are things you can take for granted that someone unfamiliar with the project just won't know. With that in mind, I'd like to submit a revision to your installation instructions. It just covers what I had to learn in this process so far, plus one or two extra hints to smooth the process for someone new.

If that's okay with you, I'll post an svn diff. I also have some skill with shell scripts, if I can help. I was thinking of modifying 'install_fmod.sh' so that it checks to see if it was run under sudo, exiting with instructions to do so if it wasn't. Let me know what you think.

Thanks again for putting in the effort to allow us all to enjoy the greatest game on the greatest platform!

Thanks for the welcome, and once I realized that svn would respond to a command line URL, with no need to properly set up an SVNROOT env var (if indeed there is such a thing, I don't know), I lost a lot of my aversion to it.

Map scrolling in windowed mode is difficult to trigger - it seems like I only have about a one pixel area on the edge of the window that my cursor must be in for scrolling to happen. It's very easy to miss that area. I've seen some threads complaining about this in Windows, too, so I'll have to try it there and see if my experience is the same.

Current installation procedure still isn't ideal. In order to install ja2 1.13 properly, you need to take from windows ja2 installation not only *.slf, but contents of TILECACHE\ directory too!!! Thats the reason of your crashes. SVN game data does not contain all tilecache files.

Either-or. 'cp' is fine, just unorthodox. I also mentioned ldconfig to Lesh, but it's his project, so it's his call whether to add it. On modern hardware, it doesn't hurt much to leave it out (no link cache update for compiling, that's all).

Subject: Re: [Linux] ja2 1.13 linux port (alpha release) Posted by cdunigan on Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:59:53 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message New possible bug, and it's one of those frustrating to debug, "only happens sometimes," issues. In windowed mode, when I switch from the virtual desktop containing the ja2lp window to another desktop and come back (Gnome function mapped to Alt-1, Alt-2, etc. on my machine), occasionally my mercs all will want to move backwards or sidestep, as if they're facing the opposite direction of where I left them, and as if I still have the Alt key depressed when I don't.

Page 44 of 91 ---- Generated from The Bears Pit The implicit direction turn that normally happens when plotting a movement path away from the current facing does not happen. Explicitly turning one of them towards the desired direction of motion, even if he's already facing that way, makes the effect go away. That means I have to waste the APs for one merc to "turn" towards the direction he's already facing in combat, or take the time in real time mode to explicitly turn someone. I'm not sure a savegame would help reproduce this, since the effect also goes away when I reload from a save. But you'll get one anyway, as you'll see in a second.

Heh, another issue appeared as I was writing this. When I returned to the desktop containing the ja2lp window, I couldn't change focus from one merc to another, with either spacebar or by selecting the new merc with the mouse. Quick-save and reload made the effect go away, as with the first issue, but this time, the effect returned when I switched away from that desktop again. I'll email that Quick-save to the bug report address, and include the text of this post in case you get that before reading this.

One more or less the same topic, how difficult would it be to make fullscreen mode honor Gnome/KDE/X11 keyboard shortcuts like the Alt-1 I mentioned? It's a very common (used to be a default) key mapping. Right now it gets ignored, although I don't recall that it causes the weird merc movement problem like it does in windowed mode.

I'll also try to narrow down exactly what circumstances the first issue happens under, or at least identify a pattern better than "sometimes."

As always, thank you so much for putting in this effort!

It is known issue to me. The game registers, when user pressed alt key (and when he released it). Then user presses F1, but ja2 isn't getting this keypress, because windows manager intercepts it and do its work. Now, when the game isn't active user can release alt, but game will not register it (it is not active). But game still remember, that user has pressed alt before. So, when user switches back to game screen, he amazingly finds out, that alt key is still pressed, while don't.

The only way I see here it is to do some clearing job over keyboard input queue and table of pressed keys, when application loses focus.

Quote:One more or less the same topic, how difficult would it be to make fullscreen mode honor Gnome/KDE/X11 keyboard shortcuts like the Alt-1 I mentioned? It is not difficult. Currently, I am testing alt+enter to switch fullscreen/windowed mode right in game. Alt+F1 (F2, F3, ...) can be reserved for future shortcuts to act with mercs in tactical screen. AFAIK, currently F1-F6 only used for merc selecting.

It's okay - now that I know what causes it, I can work around it by selecting desktops with the mouse instead.

My Windows nVidia graphics card driver at home supports multiple virtual desktops, too, and the main branch doesn't appear to have this problem. I forget the v1.13 build number, but it's the one currently on the wiki in an installer package. Rather, it was "current" as of when I downloaded it, which was last week sometime. That may not help you at all, because the nVidia feature is implemented at the driver level, not the window manager level. But I thought I'd at least mention it.

Lesh 2The only way I see here it is to do some clearing job over keyboard input queue and table of pressed keys, when application loses focus.

I can think of a suggestion, but it may make no sense in C programming, which I only know enough of to cause trouble, not enough to actually do anything useful. It would probably also involve a design change, which could be a major pain. But it seems to me that the game shouldn't store keypress events for modifier keys in a table. It should ignore those keypress events, and instead poll the hardware for modifier key status on all other keypress and mouseclick event, to determine if they're depressed when the main event occurs. It would mean that people used to being able to press modifiers separately would have to get used to pressing them concurrently, but they have to do that anyway with the Shift key during normal typing, so it may not be that much to ask. Although it occurs to me that human actions are often not as precise as the program would like, so you may have many people who thought they were pressing the modifier concurrently with the main key/button, but had actually released it a fraction of a second before. So, ignore the suggestion if it doesn't really make sense or seems otherwise impractical.

Thanks again!

Yes, API changed so we can't use FMOD 4 (Ex). But according this page http://www.soundshader.com/ifmodcomp.html FMOD 3 doesn't support 64-bit Linux (FMOD 4 (ex) does).

So if we want to see JA2 on 64-bit Linux, code must be ported to FMOD 4 or another sound library...

The latter is explained easily: There is an in-game clock (accessed via GetJA2Clock()), which gets updated in a separate thread. The main thread uses this clock to time several animations (like the zoom in of the laptop). So the main thread is in a busy loop redrawing the animation and thus starves the other thread, which should update the clock. The animation takes one second according to this clock, but because its update cycles are starved, it takes much longer in reality. Depending on the threading policy this effect is more dramatic one some systems than others. This pseudo-clock is one of the many conceptual WTFs in the JA2 source code and is of course broken by misdesign. I resolved this particular issue for the zoom/fade animations in r1426 and further corrected many problems like this, memory leaks, out of bounds accesses, crashes, graphics glitches etc. and cleaned up small parts of the code (to this date the source code has about 140.000 lines of code less than the vanilla source code!), but there is still much to do to improve stability and maintainability.

Subject: Re: [Linux] ja2 1.13 linux port (alpha release) Posted by cdunigan on Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:13:27 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message @Luftzig: Looks like the coders are busy with real life right now. I'm in much the same situation as you - I know a few languages, but C (the one JA2 is coded in) isn't one of them. I've looked over the source code several times, and I have to say that you'll find it a real challenge if you "have only the slightest idea of programming." Not that I want to discourage you, but I do want to be realistic.

If you really want to dive into a project that could easily consume every bit of spare time you now have, you should start by learning your way around in C, first. There are lots of tutorials on the web, but I really can't recommend any since I don't know anything about them beyond their existence. Once you feel comfortable with C, get the source code from SVN (details earlier in this thread), which you'll actually already have if you've installed the Linux port. Then fire up your favorite editor and start learning your way around the code itself.

The biggest trouble I have, at least at the beginning, is the fact that C doesn't have much of a concept of namespace in code. You'll suddenly come across a variable or function call that wasn't defined anywhere that you've seen and wonder how the heck it got in there. C doesn't require you to explicitly state what namespace (file, in this case) something comes from. You just throw an "include " at the top of your current file, and bingo, everything in the other file is now in your current namespace. Not only that, but everything in that other file's includes is also now in your namespace. Add to that the fact that C coders seem to throw most of the rest of the project in the includes, and you'll be searching for things all over the place, all the time. Make friends with grep; you'll be using it a lot. IDE's can do that sort of thing for you, but I tend to be a command-line kind of person, so I can't suggest any.

I probably haven't helped much, but that's all I really know right now. I've decided I can't really code, so I try to help by testing and reporting bugs I find. Use our Bugzilla for that - http://ja2.discusrock.org/bugzilla . That's the other thing I do to help; I run Bugzilla. Good luck!

Sure, there's always hope. If you can get the required libraries installed and get the thing to compile, I can't think of an obvious technical reason it couldn't work.

To answer the question, v1.13 depends heavily on original files. You can get a list of what's required from the install instructions on this port. You wouldn't have to run the install program to get them, you'd just copy them from an existing Windows installation. Hope this helps!

JAPH, about having to look for functions or variables defined at some other place, vim has a tool named "ctags" just for that.

Here is the ebuild I made for myself. It is quite incomplete though -- it doesn't contain ALL the necessary dependencies, only those I was missing on my box. It also doesn't take care of the original data location. You need to manually prepare it ("make lowercase" from ja2-stracciatella project) and copy/symlink to /usr/share/ja2lp/base.

I thought this would be an approriate thread to ask in. How dependendent is JA2 V1.13 on the orginal JA2? The reason I am asking is that I am wondering if there is any hope of getting JA2 V1.13 running on Os X.

It is indeed possible:

You have to install a lot of extra packages (darwinports is your friend) and know your way around the GNU build tools to get there however. I only had to hack up a few places in the source to get it to compile.

It is quite a bit easier to compile the JA2-Stracciatella on OSX as all it needs is SDL and already has hooks in the code for compiling on mac, but this can be made to work if you want to play with the full 1.13 mod.

I have a problem with the sound. I compiled the developer version (https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2/branches/Lesh/lpja2/, r3319) and installed the game. Everything is fine, but I have no background sound! In my bash I get the error "MUS music\menumix.ogg not found". I've opened the music.slf and there is a "menumix.wav".

Whats wrong? Where do I get this *.ogg file?

Ja2 works very well under wine with one caveat. I'm currently playing a recent AIMNAS release (personal favorite flavor of ja2) under wine 1.5.x. The caveat is that most mods are developed on a brain dead case insensitive OS and need sanitizing before installing. I wrote a little python script to fix this by recursively lowercase a directory tree. Use with caution as this will create havoc if applied carelessly in the wrong place. Usage: lowercase.py directory

Page 87 of 91 ---- Generated from The Bears Pit #!/usr/bin/env python import os, sys if __name__ == "__main__": for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in os.walk(sys.argv[1], topdown = False): for item in filenames+dirnames: target = os.path.join(dirpath, item) lower = os.path.join(dirpath, item.lower()) os.rename(target, lower)

Best order of operations is to do a clean install of ja2 base, lowercase it, extract SCI/mod into a separate directory, lowercase that, 'cp -r mod base_install', PLAY! Ja2 and wine 1.2.x was very slow on my machine, wine 1.5.x and pulseaudio do not get along.

We should start seeing more of these going for under 50USD this summer.

I don't have a raspberry pi to test it on but it should run on there. Not sure how smooth it will be though. one liner for changing case: for i in $(find . -type f); do mv "$i" "$(echo $i|tr A-Z a-z)"; done also looks like lesh 2's source code repo is gone (or maybe moved).

Not recursive, needs to do directories as well, possibly other issues. I can oneline the python as well, but obfuscated python is antithetical.

Subject: Re: [Linux] ja2 1.13 linux port (alpha release) Posted by Shank on Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:14:02 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Thats pretty bad approach. I have my bash-written tool for this, however I'm currently having issue with "while" not reporting rename statistic due to being launched in external process. When I update it, I will provide it - so hopefully there will be reliable low/upcase utility at last.

There is python-based GUI renamer already. Or there is other, reliable way, simply by copying stuff over to windows, booting into it (or VMing) and copying stuff over, then copying it back.

As for the mod, I desperately want to fix it, because original win-only 1.13 is plain unplayable in wine due to slowness.

Lesh' version had Bug bug if I recall correctly, with bugs being released, but never actually attacking.

Sorry, I'm afraid that I can not help you very much with your questions. I'm not a Linux/GNU user.

Shank... or maybe you can help me track down which win-version his conversion was based off? Using this, it would be easy to track the diffs, then either port more modern ja 1.13 on linux, or something better.

The only information about that I've found in the "Install" instruction:

LeshNB: I cannot guarantee, that most recent revision of game directory will work with this exe. Personally, I am using rev.734 of game data.

Maybe Madd Mugsy knows how a more updated 1.13 version could be merged in the scope of the Stracciatella project? http://www.bears-pit.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/274694/.html#Post281882
