*My disapearence* Not having internet access from my house means I can't work on glob2. I tried to work on it, tried to submit my changes, seems no one has jumped on the opportunity to merge my code in. I don't blame them, its allot of work to ask of anonymous people.
*Recent nicowar bug reports* Anyhow, the Nicowar and AIEcho bugs where both fixed with my patch. Maybe some of them wheren't, but i do know. I did fix some bugs that I found. I'm trying to ignore the existing bug reports. However, the one where AIEcho crashes is interesting, but I think I know why and I had already fixed that. I was going to rewrite Nicowar using the more stable Echo code, but I haven't gotten arround to it yet. *Net engine rewrite* I think that the only logical approach to remake the net engine is this: delete it all! Find and delete absolutely every little bit of net related code and delete it, systematically. The only net related things that should remain are small, self contained systems, like the Order classes and their net code. The idea is to get the game to work without all of the net code, then think up a new system fresh. Deleting the code is fun and easy, and it puts the pressure on to make a new system, as well as having a "blank canvas" so to speak. Besides, cvs stores versions for us, we can retrieve old code anytime we want. *My plans* Next time i get internet on my home computer, I'll merge in all my recent changes. I'll try and get my new campaign system temproarrilly removed for these merges. I've put it on hold untill I can get a better grasp of SessionInfo and Engine code. The new campaign system contains some of the map properties (such as player info) in the campaign text, eliminating the need for the BaseTeam::type variable (which is used in campaigns to choose between human players and AI players). Once I have the basic architecture done, extending the system for all the features people want will be a breeze. -- Start and finish, Bradley Arsenault _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
