Hello all, vi1985 and me moved the battle between our AIs to 49 hours later, http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=8&day=28&year=2008&hour=14&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 http://tinyurl.com/58tltz because I had some family stuff interfering. See you then! Iwanowitch

Scratchpad patch to setup daneel-ai

AI battle

Victor Ivri — 2008-08-21T00:31:09

Hey guys, Well, my bot's been polished and thoroughly debugged, and is ready for conquest ;). Iwanowitch, what do you say we give a show to remember? I'm pretty flexible on date and time, as long as it's not the weekend, and as long as I get ample notice. Perhaps early next week? I'm thinking perhaps someone besides me and Iwanowitch should host the game. Anyone? Preferably, this should be someone who knows how to set up "Starmapper" for recording the game. As to the type of game, it's "Risk", with the "random" start. I suggest using quickstart-risk-random.conf with the following adjustments: turn_length_under_threshold = 60 (too long will be boring; too short and perhaps not all orders will go through) max_players = 2 Iwanowitch, you ok with that? As far as I can tell, any number of people can log in as "guest" (pwd: "guest") and watch. Let me know.

Risk colonization segfault

Vincent Verhoeven — 2008-08-18T16:55:55

Hello all, On stress-testing the Risk ruleset (that's what bots are for, right?), the server segfaults when adding lots (like, 3 or something) of colonization orders. This is reproducible. I have a core file, the backtrace is #0 0x080db9a9 in boost::shared_ptr::operator-> (this=0x14) at /usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:315 #1 0x080da9c1 in IGObject::getName (this=0x0) at object.cpp:74 #2 0xb781093d in RiskRuleset::Colonize::getTopPlayerAndBid (this=0x81ba788, obj=0x81c71a0) at colonize.cpp:299 #3 0xb7810f6e in RiskRuleset::Colonize::doOrder (this=0x81ba788, obj=0x81a05d0) at colonize.cpp:158 #4 0xb781dc63 in RiskRuleset::RiskTurn::processOrdersOfGivenType ( this=0x81824a8, type=< at >0xbf830ff8) at riskturn.cpp:270 #5 0xb781ec8e in RiskRuleset::RiskTurn::doTurn (this=0x81824a8) at riskturn.cpp:70 #6 0x080c941a in Game::doEndOfTurn (this=0x816aa20) at game.cpp:289 #7 0x081227fe in TurnTimer::timerFinished (this=0x81c6f58) at turntimer.cpp:183 #8 0x08123bad in TimerCallbackImpl::call ( this=0x81baa88) at timercallback.h:54 #9 0x080d1754 in TimerCallback::call (this=0xbf831228) at timercallback.h:121 #10 0x080cf985 in Network::masterLoop (this=0x8160500) at net.cpp:266 #11 0x080c000d in main (argc=3, argv=0xbf8313f4) at main.cpp:135 The following daneel-ai file triggers it: --------- [Modules] basic mod-risk [Constraints] myplanet(int,int) [Rules] whoami(Me) and owner(P,Me) \ planet(P) and armies(P,N) <=> myplanet(P,N) planet(P) and owner(P,-1) ==> order_colonise(P,1) myplanet(P,N) ==> print "Owning planet %i with %i troops" % (P,N) [Functions] --------- For clarity, the part between the ---'s should be put in a file and ran as "daneel-ai -f ". This essentially places a colonise order on every neutral planet and prints out information about owned planets. Let me know if you need more information. Iwanowitch

Starmapper and wormholes

Vincent Verhoeven — 2008-08-17T13:33:46

Hello all! First of all, I hope I'm at least a bit at the right place on this list, otherwise redirect me please. I'm trying to get Starmapper to record one of my daneel-ai battles. It's not working though and I suppose it's because of the new wormholes. The error it gives me is something along the lines of "unknown object type". So I created a newer libtpproto-java jar and replaced the one in the starmapper dir, and now it comes up with [t 0] Error while drawing image! java.lang.ArithmeticException: divisor is zero at java.math.BigInteger.divide(libgcj.so.81) at jezuch.utils.starmapper3.Starmapper.calcSize(Starmapper.java:222) at jezuch.utils.starmapper3.Starmapper.drawImageConcurrent(Starmapper.java:582) at jezuch.utils.starmapper3.Starmapper$DrawTask.call(Starmapper.java:1034) at jezuch.utils.starmapper3.Starmapper$DrawTask.call(Starmapper.java:1013) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(libgcj.so.81) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(libgcj.so.81) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(libgcj.so.81) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(libgcj.so.81) at java.lang.Thread.run(libgcj.so.81) Which I kind of suspect to be because it still doesn't know how to handle the wormholes. Or perhaps it's some inherent assumption it makes about something Risk isn't doing - it's a bit an odd ruleset after all, without ships and stuff. Is someone going to look into this in the near future? Otherwise I'd try to fix it, but then it'll probably be in a few days, after SoC. Iwanowitch

tpserver-cpp fails to build

Vincent Verhoeven — 2008-08-15T23:46:08

Hello all, I just found out tpserver-cpp doesn't build anymore for me. The error is riskturn.h:42: error: extra qualification 'RiskRuleset::RiskTurn::' on member 'getPlayerAndUnits' and the fix is to simply remove the "RiskTurn::" from the offending line. Patch attached. Can someone push this to the repository? Thanks. Iwanowitch

Risk - Colonization and chaining

Vincent Verhoeven — 2008-08-11T15:18:20

Hello, this is mainly to jphr but anyone who can answer, please do so. I'm having problems with colonization. Mainly, I can't do it. I start a new game with quickstart-risk-bid.conf and it looks exactly like quickstart-risk-random.conf. I get a few planets and there is no Colonization order visible. I don't think this is right, is it? Also, about chaining. Why is it better than just attacking with everything at once? Iwanowitch

[tpserver-py] Help playing with the DroneSec

Zhang Chiyuan — 2008-08-07T12:18:48

Hi, I'm going to port the pyscheme part of tpserver-py to schemepy. But I'm having problems running the server. I followed the instructions from the wiki: http://www.thousandparsec.net/wiki/DroneSec/Getting_Started But it seems that I don't have dronesec: $ ./tpserver-py-tool --addgame tp dronesec pluskid< at >gmail.com "Dronesec Server" No module named avahi_disabled No module named bonjour Using pyZeroConf ZeroConf implimentation... No module named dronesec This game references a ruleset which doesn't exist anymore! Please reinstall the ruleset. That ruleset does not exist! Please check your spelling or install the correct module. It says no module named dronesec. Where can I obtain such a module? Or how can I make the server run? Thanks very much!

Single-Player Mode (attn: AI devs)

Aaron Mavrinac — 2008-08-05T15:26:02

Hi all, An informal specification of what is required for single-player support in servers, ruleset modules, and AI clients can be found here: http://thousandparsec.net/wiki/Single_Player For GSoC, my test case will use the following: Server: tpserver-cpp Ruleset: Risk AI Client: TBD jphr, as we discussed previously, could you let me know what parameters (both forced and regular) are useful for a single-player Risk game? AI developers, could you please take a look at the following: http://thousandparsec.net/wiki/Single_Player#AI_Clients and let me know if (and how) this is doable with your client? At a minimum, I need to be able to start and stop it non-interactively from a shell script, specifying the port to connect to, the ruleset to use (if necessary), and a username for the client to use (if possible). Some way of probing whether it started and connected successfully would be nice also. Thank you.

Wormholes

Vincent Verhoeven — 2008-07-31T19:07:35

Heya all & especially mithro & jphr, Victor and me are trying to use the new wormhole patch in the Risk ruleset to get adjacency information in our clients. It seems that wormholes have extra data that designate the 3d positions of start and end points. Is it correct that this is all there is to wormholes that clients know? So, if we want to extract the adjacency information from it, we have to match these positions with those from planets/star systems? Is it right to assume that wormholes are basically objects that connect two points in space, with no other (protocol-defined) connotation? If wormholes are to stay, is it possible to update http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/dev/documents/objects.php ? Iwanowitch

Summer is almost over!

Tim Ansell — 2008-07-27T07:08:24

Hello Google Summer of Code students, The Google Summer of Code is rapidly coming to an end with August 11 being the suggested ending date (and August 18 being the hard end date). While there is only 3 weeks left, there is still plenty to do! All students should be chatting with there mentors to sort out what they will demonstrate for their final delivery. It is important that your final milestones are reproducible by others (including your mentor). We hope that you will continue to work on Thousand Parsec and improve your projects. Your work so far has been quite amazing and your continued involvement would be absolutely wonderful. All your mentors are happy to continue helping you with your projects after GSoC ends, of course we understand that you'll have other commitments so that your progress might slow. See you around, Tim 'Mithro' Ansell _______________________________________________ tp-devel mailing list tp-devel< at >thousandparsec.net http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/mailman.php/listinfo/tp-devel

Single-Player Mode

Aaron Mavrinac — 2008-07-25T19:24:10

Hi all, The 'config' branch of libtpproto-py is pushed and the admin functionality is mostly complete (notable exception: sending commands may need work). I now plan to add a GUI single-player game wizard to tpclient-pywx which will allow the player to select an installed server, a ruleset for that server, an installed AI client compatible with that ruleset, and options for all three, then automatically configure the server and AI client(s) accordingly. My thoughts on how to approach this follow. First, a client needs some way to detect which servers, rulesets, and AI clients are installed, as well as how to start and stop them. Each such package could drop a small XML file in a common /usr/share type directory where the client (or a client library, such as libtpclient-py) would look for them. As for actually starting and stopping them, I am not sure what the best approach would be. Perhaps having them also provide scripts with a common interface (like init scripts) with common important configuration options (such as what port to listen on / connect to) would be appropriate? If this all sounds good, I can spec out what I need so that the server/ruleset/AI developers can easily add support for it. Second, the client needs a way to manage the server on a continued basis once it's been started. This mainly consists of setting up an admin connection and sending a variety of command frames to the server. A good place to have this, I believe, is in libtpclient-py, so that right away the functionality is available to any Python client (for example, the new pyogre client). Thoughts? Third, though this may be out of GSoC scope, I would like to provide a way to save and load games from the single-player interface as well. This shouldn't be too much work once the first two parts are complete. All comments and suggestions are appreciated. As this part of the project involves pretty much everyone, I'd like to get input from as many of you as possible. Thanks.
