[Freeciv-Dev] Version Info?
I can easily tell what version of Freeciv is present by, for instance, typing freeciv-server --version at the command line. If some of our less technically sophisticated users raise an issue in the forums, however, i'm not sure how they can verify their version in the GUI. For instance, i would expect to see a version string in the Help - About Freeciv menu item, but there isn't one. Is it nowhere to be found other than buried in the chat tab or the corner of the initial window?

On 13 Aug, 2010, at 12:30 AM, Ann wrote: Follow-up Comment #9, patch #1698 (project freeciv): The term early modern does have a definition, in the sense that it is used to refer to the years named in European history. So in that sense it is not open to interpretation: it begins with a break from the past (widespread access to books/the Protestant reformation/discovery of the new world), and ends with more disruption (French revolution/mass industrialization). I'm less certain about that modern/contemporary distinction, which I would suggest might be dated to the fall of the Berlin wall...but I never studied modern history, so I am much less sure of this division. It may be that it is as closely defined in the eyes of modern historians as the term 'early modern.' I'm not going to disagree that early modern is a distinct category to professional historians. My point is that the average Freeciv player [and, indeed, even myself] is not sufficiently knowledgable about history to be sure exactly what period we are referring to until you defined it for us. To avoid confusion, i suggest we stick to categories that can be clearly delineated. The other thing is that historians mostly work with a single timeline on Earth, whereas Freeciv more typically deals with planets that don't share our historic peculiarities such as the Cold War. The problem, of course, with any division which is made, is that the divisions are made on the basis of European history (as they already are, to some extent). The more fine-grained the divisions become, the more the history of just one region is highlighted. It is common sense that nations will show variations in technological advancement. Therefore the 'era' can only refer to the most advanced [or, perhaps the top of the Bell Curve, i.e. the average]. On the other hand, more divisions are needed, as the number of nations grows. ?!? It is not obvious to me more of one necessitates more of the other. Can you explain please? Also, the only periods that i feel are significant in game terms are those that have associated city tilesets: Ancient, Medieval, Modern. Are you suggesting that the artists contribute more categories of city tiles? FWIW, CivIII gets by just fine on four eras: Ancient, Middle Ages, Industrial Modern. I haven't yet played CivIV, so i can't comment on that.

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #16480 (project freeciv): That certainly works, but i find it inconvenient. Help - Technology only shows me generic help about research. In order to see specifics about a certain tech [which is something i typically want to see more often], i have to: 1) click the triangle to expose the individual techs; 2) scroll down to the desired tech, if i remember the name; 3) finally click on the tech to see its help. Excuse my exaggeration, but this is too much like work. Being able to see help immediately for the item i'm looking at is more helpful. Back to the main point, i agree that the Help button does work as planned, but that the plan isn't obvious to everybody. A tooltip would be nice, or else changing the title Help into something like Display help in dropdown menu.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #16380] Generated files are not deleted by 'make distclean'
Follow-up Comment #3, bug #16380 (project freeciv): I beg to differ: if i look at the file titled 'INSTALL' that comes with every GNU package i've unpacked, i see the following beginning at line 62: To also remove the files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution. As i read it, no ordinary user should ever have to type `make maintainer-clean'. That is reinforced by the fact special tools would be needed to repair the damage. Thus, it seems likely that 'make distclean' should delete client/packhand_gen.c and any similar files. Is python truly needed for this? It seems a simple shell script could rm *_gen* in the build directories. Elsewise, i think python would still be needed to carry out the task for the `make maintainer-clean' target... Since GNU seems to be at odds with itself [and we aren't officially a GNU project, anyway], maybe we should look past the letter of the law at the intent. I submit that when somebody types 'make distclean' they intend to restore the project back the way it was before they initially typed './configure'. It would be best if we could find a [preferably low impact] way to make something like happen. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?16380 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

In any case, it is likely that the error will randomly pop up from time to time until resolved - i.e. you will probably see this same error even if you never start FreeCiv. You may also want to file a bug report with Debian. It started happening when I switched to a 21.5 monitor and added an extra 3 GB of physical memory. I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts that the blame for the crashes can be laid on the video driver having difficulties using the settings for the old monitor on the new monitor. I've not tried Debian yet [i actually have a disc i mean to give a whirl, but haven't found time to do so], however, there's probably enough similarity to Ubuntu to make this work. I'll list them in order of pain involved. 1) You probably have a GUI tool to configure the driver. For instance, the proprietary Nvidia driver includes NVidia X Server Settings, which is attached to my System - Administration menu. Gnome also provides a tool for the open source drivers, on my system it is in the System menu - Preferences - Monitors. 2) [from a terminal] sudo dpkg-reconfigure package name, where package name is something like xserver-xorg or perhaps the name of the package that provides your video driver. The difficulty is knowing exactly which package it is that needs to be configured, apt/aptitude might be able to help out here. 3) Another method would be to totally log out of X and use a single user shell or console. I'm not sure how this is accomplished in Debian, but it may involve selecting an option from the grub/lilo/yaboot menu. Once there, type the following commands: cd /etc/X11/ Xorg -configure When that is finished test your settings by typing: startx *) In days of yore we might have deleted the configurations file, but i understand that changes in the way X.Org 1.4 stores settings make that less useful in many cases.

Such as: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17713 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23082 But no clear fix is presented but it has been marked as resolved. I'm not sure that the first case is related to your situation, since it relates to X failing to start - this is not what you are seeing. The second sounds like your case. Their bug # 23082 is not closed, so it might be a bit of waiting game while a final version patch is developed and gradually makes its way into distro releases. Hopefully you have turned on 'backports' or are perhaps considering Squeeze, as Lenny is essentially finished. You should probably also file a bug report with Debian, or at least mention this on their forums or listmail. Otherwise it is unlikely that they will take the effort to put this in their Lenny repository. I'm a bit wary of using a nonstandard kernel under debian. Well, we're not talking anything that drastic - at least not yet. The most radical suggestion i would contemplate now would be to force X.Org back to the previous version. However, i'm not exactly sure how this would be accomplished; it'd be particularly tricky since so many other packages depend on it. It is very likely that Gnome in Lenny would cease to work, and you'd have to regress it as well. The resulting chain reaction would essentially end up having a system that was so Etch-like that it would be easier to go back to Etch. I do have one more simple idea that might be worth trying: change your screen resolution down to a smaller one and see if that doesn't help. It could be that the crash is due to memory used by the onboard video being stolen by the CPU, and it simply wasn't likely to happen until you changed to a larger monitor and [presumably] a screen mode needing more bytes.

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #16994 (project freeciv): The unload menu item just unload the unit, it doesn't select it. Maybe you should use Activate unit, close dialog. However, this could be discussed, should unload select the units? No, i should have been more specific. When i unload a unit, normally it is added to the queue of units that will get the focus. However, in some instances a unit with available movement points will be left out of the queue as if it had no movement points available. It will be forgotten until the next turn unless i search for it and click to activate it. It doesn't happen in every case, but seems to be involved when the transport uses all its movement points. In a direct answer to your question, though, i think it would be better if the focus were given to the unloaded units rather than the transport. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?16994 ___ 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 #15805] fix city map (variable city radii, xaw client)
Follow-up Comment #8, bug #15805 (project freeciv): Using trunk/r18707 i'm getting intermittent server crashes with the experimental ruleset that don't happen with the default ruleset. This is the GTK client, so i'm not sure if you want me to file a separate bug report or leave it here. After clicking Turn Done or typing Shift + Enter, i get either of the following messages at the command line: 1: Lost connection to server: read error. -or- 1: Lost connection to server: server disconnected. In either case, the client window stays open but goes back to the main menu. Since the client doesn't crash, neither GDB nor the -F argument have given me any further info. Also, invoking the server directly fails with: 0: data/default/techs.ruleset: ruleset datafile appears incompatible: 0: datafile options: +Freeciv-2.3-ruleset 0: supported options: +1.9 The attached savefile at least reliably and repeatably causes the server crash.

Details:
I've been getting this problem for about a week now, currently at revision
18707 running on a 64 bit 2.6.32 kernel. It may or may not be relevant, but
this doesn't seem to happen with the default ruleset, but pops up pretty often
here with the experimental ruleset.
On turn done, the server silently crashes and dumps the client back to the
main menu. I will attach a savegame that fails 100% of the time for me. With
gdb i see this:

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv 2.3.0 first beta released
There's another issue i'm seeing with this release that i can't quite suss out. The governor now makes worse choices about what terrain to work than it did in the 2.2 series. It seems to ignore terrain specials, for instance when set 'Max Production' it works a plain ocean tile before it works a tile with Whales.

In summary: when i set a Governor to Max Production, i expect that city to work as many production points as it reasonably can. In my experience, that Governor now actually favors gold over production, and will take workers off mines and forest and convert them to Taxmen if possible. It has been pointed out that no code related to the Governor has changed in this release, and that is certainly sound logic. I can only suggest what *did* change is that i'm now using the Experimental ruleset in favor of Default. Is this related to the new method of using gold to support combat units? In the attached savefile, the following cities will end up with less production points under the Max Production than what they currently have with manual management [in some cases, half!]: Karlstad, Malmö, Qiongshi, Song, Visby, Zhen, and Zwickau On a [possibly unrelated], there are several cities that the Governor absolutely refuses to take over, and i'm not seeing why - there's not enough unhappiness that disorder is problem, etc. ___ File Attachments: --- Date: Fri 21 Jan 2011 01:13:55 AM GMT Name: greedy-governor.sav.bz2 Size: 45kB By: doctorjlowe http://gna.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=12027 ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17542 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Usually you can capture enemy cities. What you cannot do is to attack unit of peaceful player. I assume there is peaceful unit inside that city. I need to think a bit how all this should work. I assume that you cannot currently kill even enemy units inside city when there's peaceful unit among them. This at least should be so that (in tile where whole unit stack will not die) you could kill all the enemies. So, theoretically, if i turned off 'killstack', i could finish off all the enemy units ... and then what? Would the city then be owned by the ally??

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #17702] Caravan Window Pops Up Too Soon
URL: http://gna.org/bugs/?17702 Summary: Caravan Window Pops Up Too Soon Project: Freeciv Submitted by: doctorjlowe Submitted on: Fri 11 Feb 2011 01:57:13 AM GMT Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: 2.3.99 Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: GNU/Linux Planned Release: ___ Details: This is a minor nuisance, but a nuisance none the less. When a Caravan or Freight is given a multi-turn move to another city, they tend to arrive at the beginning of a turn. The problem arises when the Caravan arrives in the target city: a requester window immediately pops up awaiting an order on whether the Caravan should build a trade route, contribute to a Wonder, etc. This behavior is wrong for two reasons: 1) It blocks view of the map and prevents me from seeing what the other players are doing during their move. 2) The map immediately centers on some other unit, so by the time the requester gets fully populated i can no longer see where the Caravan is. The behavior that i seek is that the Caravan arrive at its goal and simply wait for its normal turn to have focus before the requester is displayed. The downside to this is that the research points will be counted that much later and sometimes a Tech advance will be slightly delayed. I can't currently think of a situation where this is a severe penalty. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?17702 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] gtk3 client
On 13 Feb, 2011, at 5:38 PM, Marko Lindqvist wrote: Idea in that transition guide is that there will be gtk3 only application in the end, requiring gtk 3.0.0 at least, i.e. , it has no problem of not being backward compatible with *any* gtk2 version. We can increase our minimum gtk2 version somewhat, but not all the way up to last gtk2 release. In fact I would continue to be fairly conservative with increasing minimum version. Once we have both gtk3 and gtk2 clients, the only reason for continued existence of gtk2-client is its compatibility with older systems without gtk3. We should not make that two limited target group (as only those with gtk 2.22.0 - 2.24.0) After investigating this and fiddling with ideas, I now have a plan like this: - Fix those gtk3 compatibility problems that you can without breaking compatibility with versions earlier than x in current gtk2-client. x is to be decided.;Ubuntu Dapper has gtk 2.8, but Dapper will not be supported any more by the time Freeciv 2.4 will be released. More relevant reference is probably Ubuntu Hardy, which has gtk 2.12. - Copy gtk2-client as starting point of gtk3-client development - Make gtk3-client actually gtk2 2.24.0 (latest gtk2 release) client that uses no deprecated constructs - Make switch to actual gtk3 with gtk3-client The plan looks good to me. I'll share what i read on the GTK-OSX mail list. As far as linux distros go, i expect we'll get pushed forward on one end, and pulled back on the other. On the one hand, whatever Ubuntu release comes after Natty will probably have both GTK 3 and GTK 2. However, within a year of that [whichever release starts with 'Q'] they will complain about having to include packages they deem as obsolete. On the other hand, Debian 6 was just released with GTK 2 and an expected lifetime of another three years. Additionally, they still have GTK2 in their testing branch - though that may be due to a general lack of packages with GTK 3 support right now. Sent from my MacBookPro Don't be hesitant.
