FreeOrion

There is one problem with exhausting missiles and current combat system. Enemy empire could harass a fleet using a single scout. The fleet would fire all the missiles allowed by their launch capacity on turn one. This overkill is okay for weapons with non-depleting ammo. But for missiles it would me...

How about changing the settings into:

• Empty systems: None, Few, Average, Many
• Planets in system: Few, Average, Varied, Many

This would be more verbose.

Average means, that most systems would have the same number of planets, while Varied means between Few and Many per system.

Definitely looks better.

Consider a board game analogy - you don't discard cards down to your hand's size between turns, but at the end of your turn.

I think the mismatch comes from the client concept of turn (you press next turn and then you get a new result) and the technical concept of turn (the moment turn increase happens). Well a lot of the processing happens between turns (by which i mean after a player has pressed the 'Next Turn' button ...

In Options dialog, under UI tab, in Content Descriptions section there's "Situation reports with errors". A setting with the same name and tool tip appears under Other tab.

Is this intentional?

I finally managed to build freeorion. I made an out of source build of both freeorion-sdk and freeorion and checked out freeorion sources outside the SDK build directory. AMA But seriously, I will post a patch to CMakeLists.txt soon-ish, which changes: set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}...

I added LLVM\bin to my PATH. So far so good: notice: will use 'clang++' for clang-linux, condition <toolset>clang-linux-8.0.0 notice: Searching '.' for project-config configuration file 'project-config.jam'. notice: Loading project-config configuration file 'project-config.jam' from '.'. notice: [ms...

As a side note - I don't have the Visual Studio IDE installed, only the build tools (that is, msbuild, cl, link, etc), which are available as a separate download from Microsoft. Visual Studio 2017 Developer Command Propmt (that is, vcvarsall.bat) is included.

Are you running this from the Visual Studio 2017 Developer Command Prompt? Perhaps the Boost stuff is looking for environment variables that are missing if using another command prompt or configuration thereof? I hadn't run cmake through the VS command prompt before. I did just now, and the results...

I returned to building 32 bit. This time only 13 warnings, but still one error - building boost fails: Performing configure step for 'boost' Building Boost.Build engine Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam for msvc...

I suggest trying the 32 bit build first. I suspect 64 isn't possible, due to vaguely recalling forum or github discussions about it, possibly relating to some of the dependencies. There's also not much point in a 64 bit build of FreeOrion... it doesn't need that much RAM per process. My bad. I'm us...

To have x64 build you should use -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64". Look at appveyor.yml file, it builds x64 SDK. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/generator/Visual%20Studio%2015%202017.html#platform-selection The CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM variable may be set, perhaps via the cmake(1) -A ...
