If google is any indication ( http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/VisualStudio/microsoft.public.vstudio.development/2004-05/0057.html ) it needs to be linked to user32.lib Don't ask me how to do it however, as I'm using Linux. My guess would be that your compiler doesn't know where the libraries fro...

Good job. I'd only nitpick on ammo, as for me it doesn't really seem to be related to any kind of ammunition at first glance. (I think I know where you were going with this, but it took me some time to figure it out) I made a quick ammo icon to point out what I had in mind - it didn't come out great...

Can someone with CVS access add the patch posted by me here: http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1940&p=29495#p29495 It should fix this bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1888849&group_id=75752&atid=544942 (or at least remove any OpenAL -...

Here is the patch if you want to apply it yourself: diff -u -r -x .svn ./freeorion/FreeOrion/client/human/HumanClientAppSoundOpenAL.cpp ./freeorion-devel/FreeOrion/client/human/HumanClientAppSoundOpenAL.cpp --- ./freeorion/FreeOrion/client/human/HumanClientAppSoundOpenAL.cpp 2008-01-22 13:47:10.0000...

I've changed the init code a bit so it should be fail-proof this time (but no sound for you at this time, sir - I'll try recoding the whole thing so that the number of sources can be dynamically changed at init instead of being hardcoded) I'll try to compile it today and if it works (as in: initiali...

There is one possibility: I didn't check for any errors during sources generation, assuming that all soundcards using OpenAL can handle 16 sources (in HumanClientAppSoundOpenAL.h line 23, NUM_SOURCES - has to be at least 2 if you want something beside music) .... still, 16 is stated in OpenAL docume...

Actually, this problem appears only with SoundBlaster sound cards (Audigy Ex here) on Linux with ALSA drivers (OSS seems fine... not OSS via ALSA though). Never discovered what exactly caused the problem.

Error: Fillbuffer: OpenAL ERROR: Invalid name this happens when there is an OpenAL error after trying to copy decoded ogg data to a buffer. This doesn't neccesarily mean that this operation is at fault, as there is no checking for previous errors ( TRANSLATION: I need more info to diagnose the prob...

Your problem comes from the fact that anything that goes to /usr/local ISN'T autodetected by default. You installed boost correctly (anything self-compiled by user SHOULD go to /usr/local so it won't overwrite system-installed files). Now you need to tell GG and Freeorion where to look for boost. Th...

Lang=EN Nice idea, though it would be nice if it had more options (3 states for each line: untranslated, primary translation, final translation), and noting which pages have untranslated strings on them would help greatly. But overall this is a great, and makes it easy for people to participate. I ...

I'd go with a translator tech, a psi-like race ability and a random planet bonus of "Babelfish"* The racial ability is straightforward: you understand all other races automatically, get a bonus to counterinteligence, and it gives you a negative bonus to how other races percieve you (on the...

as for OpenAL I did some custom stuff to my SConstruct to allow using it back when I implemented it. As far as I remember it needs a change in chmain.cpp. What I did was add a sound_system option value in SConstruct In SConstruct: options.Add('sound_system','Specify the sound system to be used (fmod...

I've been playing Eve Online lately and that got me thinking.... Ship Design: - All hull sizes aviable up front - from the ship outfitting standpoint in each hull size class there are individual hull shapes, each defined by a amount of weapon mounts, capacity and mass - weapon mounts are either ship...

I don't try to be offending, but your >>model<< has much to less detail to talk about it at all. Yup, I know, but that's because: 1) I don't really know what constraints should be put on the amount of polygons, so I go as low as I can. 2) textures change a _LOT_ and these are untextured... All you ...

Okay, just got an idea for a transport ship and well... I just _had_ to make it and post it here, along with my old transport model... that just sort of got forgotten until now. Well, here goes: Transport 01 http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/4038/01perspective2mf2.th.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us...
