CDFalcon’s server is down and will we replaced by a combined server from Jonny and CDFalcon. But there is a topic about this, so please have a look at existing topics first!
XiphoseerModeratorJust out of interest, is the following the the correct translation of what you said?
“You know that not many people speak spanish here, therefor the help by someone is necessary to translate the website to spanish or at least to confirm my translations.
Please and thank you.
P.S. To view the site in spanish:
[Link]”“Not me, because all I could offer is to use Google Translate”
“Yes, I could still use Googke translate since spanish is my second language. It’s only difficult to choose between wordings which are the same in english”
I don’t actually speak spanish, just french and would be funny to know if I got that correctly.
XiphoseerModeratorCan you post a link to google drive here?
XiphoseerModeratorDon’t get to excited about that racing component, he did all components and just forgot something on implementing the docs. Racing is a minigame meaning it’ll require much more than the RM component I suppose.
XiphoseerModeratorJon002 and Jonny/SelfStyledMythran are working on NPC’s and a whole load of background systems, so you are correct in a very broad sense. We’re just at a point were we need to introduce data into the server that is not loaded or sent by the client, but must be queried from different files. This requires us to do a lot of groundwork and design decisions, before we can fully move on to NPC’s and then missions I guess. We would also like to have a roadmap, but at the moment nobody can really tell what to write in it. That’s why its a kind of unspoken consensus because it’s the base for most things down the line.
Thanks for including a statement that you acknoledge what has been done. As weird as it seems with the statement included, without it I might have removed the topic. And you only ask for the next/current thing which is completely fine as it just shows interest in development. If you would like to look at the code yourself, head over to UniverseServer on Github.
XiphoseerModeratorActually it depends on how you learn stuff. I never really used a c++ tutorial, I just have done a lot of programming, learned the basics a few years ago and used google for the rest. I recommend you read chapters 1-8 and create some small projects (fibonacci, hello world; standard stuff really, try to use what you learned). Then go to https://github.com/LUNIServer/UniverseServer/ and download the server source. Try to work out how it works and go back to tutorial when you don’t get something.
While you do that you should start seeing what isn’t done yet or done in a weird way, then try to work on it.
This may take a short or very long time depending on your experience, but this is the path you need to take.
You may need to look into SQL as well and into GIT once you have improved code you want to commit.
XiphoseerModeratorI moved the discussion part of the rules thread here, that other topic should not be used for discussion.
@LegoKing: I hope you realize that by telling others off you have not presented yourself in a favorable way.I have been pulled into an argument against LegoClub that @Knightoffaith thankfully stopped. What I learned is the following:
No discussion should happen with people assuming moderator authority when they aren’t or simply opposing moderators decisions. This behaviour is not welcome and without sane arguments the offending person will never have any credibility and it’s statements are not valid so they don’t need to be followed. There’s no need for any further discussion in most cases.
On a last note to @LegoKing: moderators don’t have to answer questions correctly, it’s not our job to be the support line. We are here to keep the discussion sane and friendly.
XiphoseerModeratorHello Lego King, i’ve not seen questions about the bundle yet so it’s fine by me. The Bundle was server and client distributed together if I recall. The main reason we don’t have a bundle is that maters version was already outdated when posted and that the current version is in development and not released so not released as bundle either.
XiphoseerModerator@Lego king, by posting anything anywhere, you are required to have read and understood the rules. Signing the rules is for moderators agreeing to enforce the rules.
XiphoseerModeratorI imagine that as a very difficult situation to be in and if you are referring to me asking whether you are a native speaker, I don’t know how I should have know that. I’m open to discuss this further but don’t see how your situation is related to a style of asking questions. The issue is that we have a lot of people here who expect to get help from us as volontary developers for questions that are completely irrelevant or asking for features we just haven’t worked on. We can’t and do not want to answer all these questions, after all it’s our hobby and not our profession.
XiphoseerModeratorI think you don’t really get the point why most of us are here. We’re not making a new game we absolutely want people to play, but we want to resurrect a game we loved. It’s a Lego game anyways and commercial use of it is strictly forbidden. For our goal, we need developers and some testers, but the large audience you propose to attract would constantly complain about missing features at this point in time. So if you want to help, learn c++ but i’d say advertising is not appropriate now.
I’ve been the main LUNI dev in the last two months in case you don’t know that and have talked to pretty much every leading person in LUNI so i’m pretty confident this reflects the opinion of all of us.
On a last note: This is a unique project. We don’t want to copy strategys of other games, especially not to reach a goal that’s irrelevant for us.
XiphoseerModeratorI’d propose something like this (lazily edited, not a production image)
XiphoseerModeratorNot sure about that… I’m on 64bit Win7 and the compiler targets 32bit. And everything works perfectly!
XiphoseerModeratorThat does the same, both make it possible for the exe to access it.
XiphoseerModeratorBecause System32 is always in the
%PATH%
