well, if you want to hop on today, I'm willing to test CVS with you to help find some of the other bugs and squash them, just bug me on irc
regarding the auto-save, maybe it would be better to change the name from "games" to "saved games". I bet that would make a huge difference. opengl didn't fix the checksum errors, but after he became the host instead of me that problem went away... cheers, Kyle _____ From: Leo Wandersleb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Globulation2 development mailing list [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 13 Mar 2007 04:35:54 -0400 Subject: Re: [glob2-devel] my first game in a long time :) > - opengl auto detection! that would be so nice.

I wouldn't set opengl automatically but tell the user to change if he did the wrong choice with some red text that he needn't aknowledge. Reason: if our detection detects wrong the user might end up having no screen at all. > did that checkSum error get fixed in cvs? we were having that issue quite > a bit, and my memory has been failing me a bit lately, I remember a > conversation about it but not the outcome. the bug is still in. i guess u didn't experience it anymore once your opponent switched to opengl. bradley wanted to do a net-code rewrite as far as i know. i will have tons of free time soon when i wanted to start new tasks on glob2 so maybe i will look into the net-rewrite, too. other important tasks in my eyes: -make the newbies aware of the auto-save-game. -experiment with markets, fountains and/or portals -discuss new units/unit-features. in my eyes explorers are too powerful globaly (someone discussed global vs. local power recently and i liked that very much). my vote concerning explorers would be to make them into dune2 style carry alls. I loved these ;) but before we gointo all this we should release a new version!!! greetings, leo wandersleb _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
