[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#40601) bad char in city name crashes GTK civclient 2.1.7 and 2.1.8
URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40601 In civclient 2.1.7, a random city name was generated, Perpiny[X]. The [X] stands for some weird graphic of a presumably unprintable character. Clicking on this city crashes both civclient 2.1.7 and 2.1.8 on Windows Vista SP1. I've attached a saved game file, garbagechar, that reproduces the problem. 1) start civclient 2.1.8. 2) click Load Saved Game 3) click garbagechar 4) click Catalan (Human) player 5) double click the city Perpiny[X]. Immediately one gets the message civclient.exe has stopped working. garbagechar.sav.gz Description: GNU Zip compressed data ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Are you sure you did not open and re-save it in an editor or something like that? I did not. Any munging was accomplished by Freeciv. Could be as simple as a string pointer error somewhere, given that the bizarre character is at the end of the string. I don't know if it's related, but Freeciv GTK consistently fails on Vista after the game has been going a long time. The GUI windows change colors and become illegible like they're being bitblitted incorrectly, then civclient freezes. For this reason I always play with set saveturns 1. After such a failure, I can always load the most recent autosaved game. I haven't submitted the bug because I don't have a deterministic reproducer for it. I just know that it will happen after several hours of play. I guess my point is, Freeciv can munge things. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Do the utf8 characters in the start or middle of the city names get corrupted too? Brazilian, in the middle, no problem. Didn't try Turk or at the beginning of the city name. How about if you edit the save game manually and put in the missing a0 (that's the character with value 0xa0, or 160 in decimal). What happens if you load the game now? Didn't bother to try it. Or what if you just paste in Perpinyà into the city name suggestion popup or when renaming the city, what does that do (hopefully not just rejected by the server)?

This could be proven if you turn off the prompt for city name option and build a city with the Perpinya settler. If the name is not garbled and the program does not crash then we would know it is a problem with the string being put into the entry, and hence a bug in the particular gtk libraries used by the freeciv exe on windows. I turned off prompt for city name. When building the settler, the game now simply crashes. So, the string is being corrupted before it is delivered to the dialog box. You could also try inputting other valid utf-8 (e.g. my sig) into the name suggestion box, the city rename popup, or just the chat input line to see what it does.

[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#40611) default.serv sets startunits to cccwwx
URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40611 default.serv has a hack in it which sets startunits to cccwwx. This does not match the server's hardwired default value when starting a game of Freeciv from scratch. The hack is supposed to change the startunits back to correct values, but at this moment in Freeciv development history, it's an incorrect value. Reproducer: 1) using any GTK client, select Start New Game 2) /show startunits. The value will be ccwwx 3) using the gui, select Ruleset Version civ1. startunits will be changed. 4) using the gui, select Ruleset Version default. startunits will be changed again. 5) /show startunits.

When it's easy for a wanna-be developer to look through issue lists, they can often pick something that'll be easy for them to get their feet wet in contributing. Hi, I'm a developer, but not a wannabe. That is to say, I'm an expert coder and have used more than one bug tracker in more than one open source project over the years. I'm possibly interested in modifying the Freeciv sources, I'm still evaluating that. Your choice of bug tracker has nothing whatsoever to do with my evaluation. I think perhaps you're assuming a particular target audience, a newbie or intermediate level coder who doesn't quite know what they want to do, that you as more senior developers want to structure and direct somehow. There are other kinds of potential project contributors out there and perhaps considering their motivations and tastes would be of greater benefit to your ongoing efforts. I don't see any big deal with RT because it's not my first instinct to look for someone else's bug to work on. My first instincts are to: 1) get the source code built. If I can't build it, good chance the project isn't mature and I move on. I've been able to build Freeciv, although on Windows it's less pleasurable than it could be. 2) evaluate the readability of the source code. So far, I find it readable. 3) evaluate the modifiability of the source code. So far, I'm not sure the AI code conceptualizes anything the way I would. My instinct is to throw chunks of it out. Either start from scratch, or determine if a plugin architecture is reasonable. But, I haven't finished looking at it, so I will patiently evaluate what is reasonable to do. 4) evaluate the political tone and management of the project. What do people really spend their time on? What do they stew and get to loggerheads about? What do they fail to get done? What do they actively obstruct? To the last point: I went back and read the full history of this ticket. This has been all talk and no action for 2 years. In an open source community, if someone steps forward and provides the elbow grease to get something done, just go for it. Maybe RT vs. Bugzilla isn't super valuable in the scheme of things, as you don't have that many tickets, or developers willing to work on tickets. Gosh, have you ever looked through Mozilla's tickets and seen all the stuff that's been sitting around for years and years, that again was all talk and no action? It's documentation and process for it's own sake, it has no end result. BUT, if you've got a gung ho volunteer who actually will steward a new bug tracker, it's worth something just to add that guy's ongoing manpower to the project. I imagine Bugzilla *is* better than RT in some fashion, that some kind of gain can be made from changing, even if it is only a long term incremental gain. The more important consideration is you get this guy working on the project, stewarding something he considers Good. That's how you build project loyalty. Resources, schmesources.

Anybody asks it's naval radar station. ;-) I mean come on, if sonar doesn't work to detect things underwater, then it is totally stupid. Sonar is for water. If you do radar stations, put them on land also. Gameplay wise I don't like the idea of basically removing submarines special power of being hard to detect. It doesn't remove it, it makes it subject to defense spending. Same as Coastal Defense for naval bombardment. Reality in WW II is Germans had happy time in the Atlantic until sonar got much better. Then they suffered 85% casualties. In modern day, USA waters (and maybe international?) are thick with sonar listening stations. Very important for detecting subs that carry nukes. Wouldn't want Russian sub sailing up the Chesapeake Bay and unloading on D.C. would we. Not sure if stealth sub is realistic idea or not. Stealth ship does exist in real life, and also appeared in a James Bond movie. Lesser problem is that at this point it's impossible to define base that detects submarines. Changing that would be quite easy. Call To Power II had both radar and sonar. I don't remember it ruining anything.

There's little incentive to pursue the Navigation etc. techs in the early to mid game when a trireme will do all exploration jobs just fine. All civs come into contact with each other early and all trade techs. There is no development in isolation, there is no New World full of weak hapless natives to conquer. I've set the percent of land to 15%, the lowest it will go. On maps of modest size with ~6 players, this still doesn't generate true oceans. Triremes can go everywhere. True oceans only happen when the map size is made much larger. This bogs down the game, both for the AI that has to think about all the extra tiles, and the human who has to push units across them. I suggest: have a postprocess that destroys portions of continents and coastal waterways. The biggest bodies of water could push from their centers of mass. This would isolate continents. Alternately if that's too complex to implement, coastal squares could simply be destroyed randomly, along with land nearby, expanding the oceans randomly. A test for trireme access would be implemented; when a trireme can't get to a large percentage of coastal squares, the job is done. Whether to do this postprocess or not, would be an ON / OFF option. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?19134 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #19134 (project freeciv): Before worrying about making everyone happy, we should be clear on what people complained about, and ask whether those complaints were / are still valid. 1) I remember the no shallow water problem. It made the game somewhat tactically interesting, as I had to overcome that terrain barrier, but it seemed rather unrealistic, irrational, and arbitrary. Why shouldn't I be able to sail around the coast, unless there's a climate barrier like frozen ice, monsoons, or some such? 2) Having gulfs within a certain sized enclosure of land is reasonable. The Mediterranean was much calmer than the Atlantic. It made the Roman Empire great. It was inevitable that *some* power would have arisen in the Med and consolidated it. 3) What's the big deal about blocking someone else's trireme on a narrow coast? That's cool. That's called tactics. In other games I've built a lot of ships to be able to do that. I like being able to do it with 1 ship. It also occurs reasonably often in the current mapgen, especially around smaller islands. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?19134 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Only if the map is large do they become continents, and really it's nothing like Earth with 6 continents + Antarctica. Like fighting amongst a world full of Australias.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22567] AI does not build/buy defenders as enemy approaches
Follow-up Comment #21, bug #22567 (project freeciv): Civ4 had Jaguar units as the Aztec special unit. It was a warrior that moved 2 spaces instead of 1. Solving the problem by making specific units might be a better approach as far as getting an AI to understand it. Allowing all units to move faster seems rather overpowered. There's some precedent in SMAC, where if you achieved Elite experience you got bonus movement. Typical Spartan strategy was to massively train units so that they would be Elite. Such units are extremely powerful. I don't think having an option to just flip a switch to get that kind of benefit is a good game design at all. There should be some kind of significant cost or delay to get that kind of capability. Otherwise what you'll have is a goofy game where the Tribal faction always wins. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?22567 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

The previous default behavior was to display the poles at the top and the bottom of the map, with the minimap window showing a screen aligned square outline of the visible terrain. In previous versions of Freeciv I remember server option numbers to control the topology. The numerical system is now gone, with only a selection of Wrap East-West and isometric remaining.

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #17732 (project freeciv): The defaults on Windows 2.3.0-beta3 are Isometric, not Hexagonal, and Amplio2. The diagonal square outline appears, as well as the NW to SE orientation. The defaults on Windows 2.2.4 are a numerical Map Topology Index of 5 and a plain Amplio tileset. The square and polar orientation are screen aligned, as they should be. Beta3 is incorrect compared to the stable release.

I have a size 2 city that's building a settler. I have not activated the disband if build settler at size 1 option. When the settler is built, the city drops to size 1. Then people migrate to my nearby capital, disbanding the city. I don't think this behavior should be allowed. Outpost cities extend the boundary of the empire, allow observation of trespassers, use resources that are not currently available to a larger nearby city, may have a coastal outlet where a larger nearby city has none, may produce a stream of settlers at a usefully productive rate, and may have a barracks or a city wall. Just disbanding my cities willy nilly is really irritating. I think it is reasonable for migration to reduce a city's population to 1, but no more. ___ File Attachments: --- Date: Tue 15 Feb 2011 05:46:11 AM GMT Name: losesetter.sav.gz Size: 38kB By: bvanevery http://gna.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=12458 ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17740 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #17740 (project freeciv): I do not see why mgr_foodneeded would change plague behavior. The option would need to be more like mgr_healthneeded. I could see a city disbanding if it has no resources of interest and no buildings. It does not make sense if the city has valuable resources within its radius that a major city cannot use. Who is going to bring those resources to market? Who is going to defend the frontier? If I were a monarch and I built a city wall and barracks somewhere, and people deserted, I would have them summarily executed upon their arrival to a major city. Under a Republic or a Democracy I wouldn't expect to have that kind of control. In a Communism you jolly well go to where the State tells you. If they tell you not to leave the country, you don't, at peril to your life. I suggest weighting resource specials so that cities tend to keep a population that works them. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17740 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #17740 (project freeciv): I think if the city is building a Settler, it should diminish the desire to migrate. After all, settlement *is* migration. It doesn't have to completely stop migration, as a city could take too long to produce a settler, or a player could be building a settler disingenuously to prevent migration. The AI can't handle the plagues. When I play on Experimental AI difficulty, it's trivial to get ahead because the AI has no strategy for dealing with the plagues. Trying my 1st serious game under these new rules, it took me until Turn 200 to get to Miniaturization, at which point my nearest competitor only had Industrialization. Other civs were barely beyond Gunpowder. Probably the AI believes that smallpox is good, whereas under plague rules, it's clearly a bad strategy. Aqueducts are expensive, and they're the only way to deal with plague. A civ that builds lots of aqueducts in every city goes bankrupt. The AI doesn't really know how to build a few good big pox cities. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17740 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #17949 (project freeciv): The minimum size is not mentioned in the Help and is not part of the definition of celebration. Cities with three or more citizens celebrate when at least half their citizens are happy and none remain unhappy. The effects of celebration vary depending on your government type; in the default ruleset: - Under Anarchy or Despotism, you will not suffer the normal production penalty for tiles which produce more than 2 points of any resource (food, production, or trade). I had always thought that the minimum size was for *rapture*, not celebration. I'm reasonably certain I've applied celebration to cities of size 1 or 2 in the past, and have gotten the Despotism penalties removed that way. Typically this is accomplished by founding the capital in a high production location, researching Pottery as the 1st tech and building the Hanging Gardens in the capital to take advantage of the 75% production bonus of the capital under Despotism. Perhaps the rule is misnamed in the ruleset, but the code used to check the rule before rapture. Now it's checking before celebration. I think the rule should be named rapture_size_limit and should be handled accordingly. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17949 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #16909 (project freeciv): Units can be disbanded by selecting disband from the Unit menu, or by typing SHIFT+D. Inside the city pullup screen, when the player clicks on a unit, a menu appears and the disband option is clearly visible. Disbanding units is not documented, and the Units section of the Help should mention it, but the ability to disband is readily available in the UI. Anyone who really wants to get rid of units should be able to figure this out, documentation notwithstanding. Units should not be able to practice fighting on each other, because that would award them combat experience and make the units more powerful. In terms of game mechanics it would be imbalanced, and it's also not realistic. Combat improvement should come from fighting actual wars, not doing training exercises. A minimum level of combat improvement via training is already provided via the Barracks city improvement.

This is a good strategy... except that if the player backs away and waits a few turns, the AI inevitably sends that garrison unit on a scouting expedition. The player can easily exploit this by threatening a bunch of cities with possible captures, backing off for a few turns, then returning when the AI has sent its garrison units wandering off. Capturing many AI cities is trivial, even with untrained warriors if one has the timing right. The AI runs out of money and cannot garrison cities at the last minute indefinitely. A very easy way to put most of the AIs at a disadvantage, is to send out triremes with a few units at the beginning of the game, sail around an enemy to stress it into spending all its gold, eventually drop a unit on defensible terrain (i.e. a mountain) next to an empty city, walk in and take it, then produce untrained warriors to do the same thing to other enemy cities. The AI should garrison cities more like a human being does. At a minimum, it should not reassign garrison units to scouting duties. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17969 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #17970] queued attack executes before next player's turn begins
Follow-up Comment #7, bug #17970 (project freeciv): Having an end turn phase and a begin turn phase makes sense to me, but the shuffling bug still needs to be addressed. The comments regarding http://gna.org/bugs/?16387 claim that player order is shuffled. On my Windows Vista system, with only myself and 4 AI players, using the default phasemode=ALL, almost all between turn actions are not shuffled and I get to make my move first. The only exception seems to be if the AI buys a unit to garrison an empty city. When I land next to an empty city and set my goto to take it next turn, sometimes a unit will appear and prevent the walk-in. Maybe I'll kill the unit by attacking it, maybe I'll die against a city wall. I am speculating that this is because the AI bought the unit, as I haven't actually traced the code to know for sure. However it seems consistent with my tactic of running the AIs out of gold so that they can't instantly buy garrison units. When I attack an empty city, AI units next to the empty city *never* move back into the city before I've attacked. Possibly the AI is completely stupid and just doesn't realize it can make that move. On the other hand, *I* pull that trick all the time. I can stand just outside my own empty city, with an enemy AI unit threatening it, set the goto, and move back in before the AI gets to attack. This proves to me that I always move first in this situation, that it is never shuffled. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17970 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

This doesn't typically save the lives of the units either, as they often move to exposed ground, don't really prevent the taking of other cities, and also the capture of a city usually causes some supported units to die.
