That looks like a very crisp game!
Downside is that I cannot test / play it. Interestingly it seems to open the IrrlichtDevice twice which leads to the following error:

Code: Select all

Irrlicht Engine version 1.7.2
Linux 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 6 22:37:55 CEST 2011 x86_64
Irrlicht Engine version 1.7.2
Linux 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 6 22:37:55 CEST 2011 x86_64
Creating X window...

hdisplay: : 1024
vdisplay: : 768
No doublebuffering available.
Fatal error, could not get visual.
./start_client.sh: Zeile 5: 13040 Speicherzugriffsfehler  ./Client

Last line reads 'segmentation fault' btw.
OS is Arch Linux, 64bits obviously

Am I just too stupid to see the obvious or is this something I can't do nothing about? Dunno how closed source this is, otherwise I'd be glad to help debugging.

p.

That the irrlichtdevice pops up twice is not a error. We make a null device we use to read the ini file for settings after that we create the device with all set parameters.

I am not running linux so i cant debug / tell u whats wrong right now. But could u check the client.ini and make sure its not using directx as driver.

Maybe RdR can tell u whats wrong or he can help u debug as hes our guy developing on linux.

I see, thank you!

Wrong driver settings would have been my first guess but it's set to opengl. This is really strange as all my irrlicht projects run fine on that machine.

Hmm thats strange. Those other Irrlicht programs you can run, did you compile them yourself? Or also pre compiled like our TANK@WAR game?

Maybe its an architecture problem, I am compiling the Linux version on Ubuntu 10.10 with arch i686

Well apparently you ship all the required libs with TaW so it _should_ run then with your 32-libs smoothly.
I don't know for the others here in the forums, don't think I'm the only one using a 64bit system.
But of course, this could be the issue.

Their might be some libs missing I think.
Can you type "ldd Client" in your terminal and paste the output?

Edit
Can you remove libglut.so.3 from the shared_libs folder? And try again

have a look here.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar ... _Arch64.3F

should give that a try.

Thanks both of you for your help!

Of course I have multilib set up already so there's no need to go though the noob tutorials

ldd states clearly that TaW tends to use the 32bit libs. Moreover, the exit with SIGSEGV rather not indicates a missing s.o.
Guess it boils down to the need of some debugging. Anyway, could as well try it on my other Ubuntu machine.

Cheers,

Yeah, there is a problem when you try to connect/login to Server #3. But the other server should be up and running now.

This project is starting to look very polished, great job guys, keep it up!

By the way, you're from Holland, right?

Thanks! It started as a school project but we're still developing it, to create a better game.
But we need some more players

We might create bots in the next release so the server always have some players in it.

Yes, we're from Holland ^^ Why?

Any suggestions to improve our game?

I'm more of a graphics guy myself, so I'd say add a layer of polish to the graphical aspects (especially the terrain)
Add some post-processing in there, experiment with different materials, create some nice shaders, etc.

Try to really make it shine

Geen specifieke reden, gewoon te gek om te weten dat er nog nederlandstalige mensen met game development bezig zijn

Irrlicht Engine

TANK@WAR

Which game mode you want to see next?
