Stupid question: where is the phpCollab site?

Whoops! Win98 does not apper to have setenv, it has putenv instead. I modified ServerApp.cpp to use SDL's getenv and putenv, should work now. BTW: The patch seems to be so huge because somebody forgot to turn Unix-linebreaks an, and my Editor automatically removes them EDIT: Till the new revision is...

I don't think there is much harm in letting the ai adjust your orders. I do. This is was I wanted to address when giving these teleport-examples. My experience is that every AI has it's weak points, and if a player knows them (and you don't) and exploits them using maneuvers that let take the AI ov...

However if we have a planetary special "Neutron" Then by definition the planet will be Very High-G and Tiny but will have perhaps 4X or 8X ultra rich minerals on it. A neutron star consists entirely of neutrons, so there would be no protons for the atoms and therefore no minerals. But it still migh...

I like the idea of combining selection and status-bars. If you want all stats of all your ships, you'll simple press CTRL-A for example to select all of them. A combined setup-realtime-approch would be nice, but leads so some problems. What if, for example, your enemy has ordered one of his ships to...

Off memory, they don't include configure. I think it's pretty normal not to include it in cvs from my experience, but I could be wrong. Yes, but they normally they don't have developers who want to use MinGW and do not have autoconf etc. installed Maybe I can code a little autogen-script that downl...

I'm nearly done with autoconfing FO and GiGi. My question now is whether I should check-in all files created my autoconf, that is, for example the configure script or if I just upload the "source"-files? Pro and Con for uploading all files, in my opinion: Pro: - Users of mingw should be able to just...

what about stl ? Google is your friend: just search for STL Tutorial. They should give you enough information to use STL. Mostly you will only use STL for things likes maps (you want Dictionary["Index Entry as String"] = 42) or vectors, lists and so on. STL is designed for that purpose, to let you ...

I've added a dirty hack to get rid of the X11/Framebuffer requirement

The server should now use SDL's dummy videodriver, which was designed for this purpose.

I found the bug! The problem is that the SDL_Event system will not be initialized by SDL_Init if SDL_INIT_VIDEO is not given, causing fastevents to wait forever till "the queue gets empty". According to the documentation, SDL_INIT_VIDEO seems to be the only way to active Event-handling Just add '|SD...

Does the problem still exist for Windows too? On my Linux box the Server doesn't react to incoming connections. I have tracked the problem down to the Poll method in the server, net2.c should send a NET2_TCPACCETEVENT (the net2.c-function responsible for this does get called), but neither FE_WaitEve...

when I use wincvs and enter cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected].sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freeorion co GG there is a message: cvs [checkout aborted]: recv() from server cvs.sourceforge.net: EOF and I have no SourceCode. Question: if it works, where is the sourcecode then ? First of all, as already said...

OK, I already started to get rid of the old Unix-makefiles

Hi! What is the status on autoconf'ing FO? I am willing to do that, but in the old forum, someone (I dont' remember who) posted that he'll do it. As I don't want to duplicate efforts, I'm asking here if anything has already been done; I would be willing to assit in this case. Greetings PS: Excuse th...
