It might be related to the new configuration protocol changes in tpserver-cpp, but I think it's a bug in the Risk module (or unlikely with the Risk configuration file). The problem is simply that I can't login. It works perfectly with minisec but not with Risk. I get the following (relevant) lines in tpadmin: 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Info > [Server] Client on connection 12 is [libtpproto-py/0.2.4 daneel-ai/0.0.1] 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Debug > [Server] isEnoughRemaining, checking for 10, have 30 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Debug > [Server] isEnoughRemaining, checking for 5, have 16 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Debug > [Server] finding player 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Info > [Server] Creating new player automatically 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Debug > [Server] finding player 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Debug > [Server] Risk onAddPlayer 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Debug > [Server] There are 0 current players and the max players is 6 2008-10-18 17:53:03 < Debug > Vincent Verhoeven 2008-10-18T16:22:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1343 Hello all! Little remark. The ./configure for libtpproto-cpp checks whether Boost::Signals is available. If it is not available, it doesn't complain but the build fails. Shouldn't this be made more strict then? Iwanowitch Vincent Verhoeven 2008-10-18T15:08:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1339 Hi all, Mithro and I are working on including the single-player mode wizard in an upcoming release soon. A crucial requirement for this to work is for servers, ruleset modules, and AI clients to include some XML data in a shared location to tell the client that they are on the system, what they support, and how to use them. The following wiki page details how they work, and provides some working examples (for tpserver-cpp, risk, daneel-ai, and gencon): http://thousandparsec.net/wiki/Single_Player#Adding_Single-Player_Support One important thing to note is that the command string specified for the actual program needs a proper path for the system it is installed on. In many cases this probably means that the installer needs to edit the XML file to use an absolute path, so this would be done at the packaging level. Let me know ASAP if any problems are foreseen here so I can come up with another solution. :) If you are planning to do a release of one of these components (server, AI client) please let me kn Aaron Mavrinac 2008-10-02T18:58:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1328 Roberts, Brendan Matthew - robbm005 2008-09-24T08:07:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1325 Hi all I'm taking part in Software Freedom Day on Saturday in Wellington, New Zealand. I was pondering what to work on that day. I will probably tell lots of people about TP, maybe even give a presentation about it. I was thinking about starting BattleXML support in tpserver-cpp. Maybe also some polishing to gear up for the next release. Any other thoughts? What will you be doing? Later Lee Lee Begg 2008-09-18T04:22:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1322 Hey guys, Lee has successfully merged all your branches (config, tae, and risk) into the tpserver-cpp trunk. This means that everyone now gets your stuff by default, yay! You should now continue your development on main branch (if you have any questions about switching, feel free to ask). I have removed the branches from the server. If you want a branch to continue doing some restructures (I know jphr wants to modify how some of the risk stuff) we are happy to provide one.

See you then! Iwanowitch Vincent Verhoeven 2008-08-25T16:52:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1307 Mithro: please apply attached patch to the scratchpad repository. For those that cannot wait for mithro to do this (cough nash cough), feel free to patch locally. Git should be able to handle that.

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. Victor Ivri 2008-08-21T00:31:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1269 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<ObjectInfoData>::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 Tim Vincent Verhoeven 2008-08-18T16:55:55 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1266 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.ut Vincent Verhoeven 2008-08-17T13:33:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1262 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 Vincent Verhoeven 2008-08-15T23:46:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1260 Ok, thanks to jphr and Iwanowitch I've been able to track the root of the issue. Thanks guys!

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 Vincent Verhoeven 2008-08-11T15:18:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1241 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! Zhang Chiyuan 2008-08-07T12:18:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1234 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. Aaron Mavrinac 2008-08-05T15:26:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.games.tp.devel/1230 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 ?
