Iceball Project

[Cajun Style]

Just learned about this project. It seems well on its way. (>_> Not looking into AoS 1.0 anymore)
Here's some "thoughts" I posted on making a new client. http://www.buildandshoot.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=560
The dependency on older versions of libraries has me worried. Any reasons in particular? Or just "OMG it doesn't work anymore"s? XP I'd be willing to bang my head against the wall to make it work, if it's something that needs to be done.
I have cloned the repo and am reading the docs... I'll have to learn SDL as well
What's this FMP type of model?
Does the Voxlap engine need tweaking before being useful?
So many questions. Is there a dedicated forum or something?

When I compile I get:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot fin
d -lSDLmain
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot fin
d -lSDL
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [iceball.exe] Error 1

EDIT: Fixed, didn't install SDL correctly.

EDIT 2: Nope, Iceball now crashes when I run it

Did you use: http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel ... w32.tar.gz

Did you set your user settings properly? You need to make sure that your name has quotes and the "kick on join" is set to false.

Just did. Still crashes.

I don't know about the lib questions, but the PMF model is explained in the docs. The voxlap engine is windows and x86 only, so not really suitable (although Ericson is working on a port of it). There's no dedicated forum, but you can join us on IRC on quakenet in #aos.development.

A proper installation guide for windows would be nice.

Okay, as long as there's centralized download for everything, then that'd be a start. I've started Think Python, I've gotten through about a chapter, then once I've finished the second I'll read them through again and do the exercises. Learn Python --> Learn Java --> Make Minecraft rip-off --> make money --> eat bacon.

Code: Select all

def eat_bacon():
 print('Om Nom')
 repeat_nomming()

def repeat_nomming():
 eat_bacon()


eat_bacon()

^^^ Yeah, I didn't use the interpreter or module to make that, so the indents are wrong :B

Protip: Python teaches you very little. It's an okay scripting language.

My advice is, learn C/C++/C#/Java

They will help you much more.

But hey, any language will give you a base.

I might be able to get my friend to do OS X builds and if enough people want nightly Windows builds I can organize that.

Made a rifle model, it's basically a mix of the Springfield 1903, Lee Enfield, and M1A. It's about 720 parts from what I remember.



To view it download it below and place the file in the cslave folder and rename it editor.pmf (make sure you have nothing important in the original editor folder!) or replace the rifle.pmf file in \pkg\base\pmf to use it in game.

Also GreaseMonkey, to get the stderr.txt and stdout.txt files not to show up, you have to compile SDL and on the configure step, apply --enable-stdio-redirect=no
Setting up MSYS/MinGW build system for compiling SDL/OpenGL applications

On the subject of this rifle, I'm not sure how it scales into the actual game, it may be too big. Will check it out in the A.M.

It's HUGE on the players.

I used it before the networking update.

Learn Haskell or Scheme: Your brain will melt.
Then learn C: your debugger will melt.

Then you will realize that Python, Ruby, Java etc are pointless because they aren't as fast as C (or Haskell for that matter) and not as powerful as Haskell or Scheme.

Hi Rakiru, nice idea to incorporate those who cant code, im working my butt off to get the sounds in first :D

If we're going with bolt action, this sound came from the WW2 pack from the K98 folder made a year ago
https://soundcloud.com/#dzhoel/ace-of-s ... olt-action
Or if were going with a semi auto rifle, this may be a more appropriate reload from the same pack but from the STG model.
https://soundcloud.com/#dzhoel/ace-of-s ... uto-reload

Also, are we using the sounds from .75 for explosions? cant seem to find any asplosion effects.

EDIT: dammit, you need to be logged in for soundcloud.
If you're keen to listen, use my account (i really dont care about it, made it to post in this thread).
