Still nothing, it disappears.

Did you read the manual?

I am aware that's a bit of code which needs bulletproofing.
Can you please do "bt full"?

Yep.

It appears it's somehow trying to load something that is clearly not a TGA image, OR the stack is getting corrupted somehow. I'm trying to work out what starts with 160,8,10,0 ( == 0x000A08A0).

Can you remove the "-O2" thing from your makefile and recompile?

One of the problems that needs to be fixxed is that while tunneling or in a dark place everything sort of blends in and really makes everything seem weird Green_Surprised2 !!!!!!

IIRC 0.0-13 adds per-face shading, although it needs fixing (seems to darken AFTER applying fog; a couple of sets of "side faces" are incorrect). Check Triplefox's "screenshot saturday" post which should be just before this one.

EDIT: The per-face shading was a bit broken (mismatched colour indices for a face drawn on more than one cubemap; shading applied after fog). Fixed in 0.0-16. I think we can finally knock that off the TODO list now.

[Jordach]

I decided to make a unofficial build for struggling win32 users..

http://ompldr.org/vaDR1Zg/buildandsnip-0.0.16.zip

It contains all the things you need for connecting to rakiru's server, mapmaking, modelmaking etc..

(If browsers flag it, don't worry about it.)

[jordan]

Where are the maps you save in mapediter located?

[rakiru]

Where are the maps you save in mapediter located?

clsave/vol/saveX.icemap where X is the slot you selected

Hey, there's some info that maybe, just maybe will be useful for Linux users. I have no idea whether this'll apply to Iceball, but here it goes: when I was playing Minetest, I had trouble with the Nouveau driver and the current NVIDIA driver, they kept crashing and freezing on me. Using NVIDIA current-updates fixed it.

This game doesn't use the graphics card, so that doesn't apply here.

Woah, just peeked out from under my rock just long enough to notice this, you have my interest

Has anyone looked into anti-aliasing?

EDIT: I just got Iceball built finally, I wrote a tutorial for building on windows on the wiki

Any ways I could improve? Any chance this may get added to the Github? This kind of definitive guide would have helped me a lot. I'm still sort of a nooby with anything other than .NET.

I think you need to improve a lot.

For zLib:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=mingw

will just tell you to use win32/makefile.gcc instead, so there is no reason in typing it. There isnt a point either in copying the makefile to the root of the zlib folder, just use

Code: Select all

Make -f win32/Makefile.gcc

instead.

For lua:

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile

doesn't work. The proper command is

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile mingw

. However, that is useless because

Code: Select all

make mingw

works the same way.

For all in general:
You didn't really quite specify what files to copy and where.

For building iceball:

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile.mingw

isn't really correct. Use either

Code: Select all

make clean all -f Makefile.mingw

for an unoptimized build or

Code: Select all

make clean all -f Makefile.mingw CC=gcc CFLAGS_EXTRA="-msse2 -mfpmath=sse

for the optimized build.

I've tried to follow each of the steps without editing them, but they don't work.

Well then edit the page!

That guide is basically what I did, I just did trial and error and tried to figure out what was going on, again I am a complete noob with anything other than .net.

Do you plan on having music play during a battle? Personally, I would love to hear something like this while I'm quickly digging a trench under enemy fire in a desert map:

That mental image is awesome.

[Sonarpulse]

Yeah. It just opens and closes, doesn't say "iceball has encountered an error" and all that crap.

Removing -O2 just turned off optimization. It won't fix your problem, but it will give a more useful back-trace, so it can fixed quicker.

If you knew all this, my apologies.

[TB_]

Just a quick suggestion here.
What if falling blocks could hurt you? Say 3 damage per block.
So if someone was in a house where the roof collapsed, and the roof constisted of 25 blocks. That player would lose 75 health?
