Does this happen in both fullscreen and windowed mode?
The fullscreen mode is a quick hack, and I haven't bothered to set 24bpp-mode explicitely

Download http://freeorion.sourceforge.net/libgigi-0.5.0.0.tar.gz
Copy the include directory from the tarball to the Source-directory as GG/include
Copy the GiGi*.dll files to the source-directory

This should do it
OK I have downloaded libgigi-0.5.0.0.tar.gz. I can't see any .dll files in there. I have GiGi*.dll files in the windowskit.zip, but they are too old surely?
I'm trying to build GG in cygwin on winxp. The configure script sees SDL, freetype, boost and devIL, but damned if I can get log4cpp to work. Which version of log4cpp should I be using? Versions 0.2.7 and 0.3.4b both compile fine, but configure doesn't like the library:

PS sorry if this is a bit OT, but I figure the source code is included in the 0.1 distribution...
(edit) well I am missing the expat library, maybe that will fix this.
(edit2) I see you've updated windowskit.zip. That should solve my problem. btw I think the problem building GG was that log4cpp 0.2.7 wouldn't compile properly in gcc 3.x, I used gcc 2.x instead, but this caused problems with everything else that required gcc 3.x.

underling: are you sure your display settings are set to 32bit?

your screenshot looks like it's only 16 bit and if i turn my display settings back to 16bit it looks the same like your screenshot.

Oh geez..... The damn Nvidia driver update I did a couple of days ago set my OpenGL support to "always use 16bpp" while EVERYTHING else was 32bpp.

I never looked there :oops:

Corrected & everything looks fine now.

Thanks!

-Main Menu-
This window can be closed, but then there is no way to do anything. Can the close button be disabled for this window?

-sitrep-
If you minimise it then end turn, any sitreps generated next turn don't maximise the window first (you get text with no window background). Maximising fixes this.

-save game-
Sometimes the game saves but a popup complains that the save didn't work. I haven't isolated this properly yet. The game can be loaded (doesn't appear to be corrupted).

-server-
processing this turn crashes the server: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~gbs1/ ... turn48.zip [edit]fixed by noelte.

Also, there is no way to figure out which fleet or homeworld is mine.
Read the first post in this thread. This is a known issue.

Again, read the first post. A known issue. You have to escort the ship with a scout.

Thanks for all this info. I haven't bothered putting game design related posts in. For example, version 0.2 will have proper planet generation methods to ensure a universe with not too many Gaia planets.

-multiplayer games can be saved but can't be loaded

-AI client should close when the AI player is defeated

-on a new turn, map scrolling seems to be sluggish at high zoom. Zooming out and scrolling about a bit fixes this.

-saved games are pretty huge, but compress really well, could be stored in compressed format?

-(source won't compile in dev-cpp with the windowskit.zip provided with the 0.1 installer) is fixed in CVS.

-there is no visual feedback that research is doing something

-defense bases are invisible

-system doesn't change color when all planets are conquered if player colonised some planets before conquest

-savegame UI: mousewheel should scroll the list

-production should reset to zero when project is changed

-sug: simple defensive AI

if(pop < max) build("mark1")
if(pop = max && ind < max) build("industry")
if(ind = max && tech < "defbase") build("research")
if(tech >= "defbase") build("defbase")

-sug: select next idle fleet button (maybe TAB?)

-sug: autosave every 'n' turns
keep 'm' new autosaves
keep old autosaves every 'p' turns

e.g. I would do something like: autosave every turn, keep three autosaves, keep old saves every 10 turns

-multiple colony ships built in the same turn should be put in different fleets by default

-when going through the sitrep assigning destinations to multiple colony ships, you have to close the fleet window or the colony ship you just sent remains selected and gets sent to the same destination as the second colony ship. Selecting a different fleet should cancel selection of the first fleet.

-text can escape bounds of fleet window (e.g. "En Route to Betelguese System (ETA 10 turns)"

-win/loss: server should let clients know if they've won or lost ... is there a nice victory movie yet? ;)

Hmm, i did this myself and it worked. I will check this again.
<edit> It still work for me!

It's a known todo. At this time after combat it's not calculated if the AI empire is defeated.

It's good idea.

I suppose you used pre-compiled SDL and FreeType libraries. The ABI of GCC was changed recently, and so libraries need to be compiled with the same gcc version. I suppose SDL was compiled with a different version of GCC, causing the linking errors.

I spend 2 days(!) getting GiGi to compile under Windows :(
But as Gcc 3.2/3 gets the standard, these problems will vanish, and then it might even be possible to link to libraries compiled by a Microsoft or Intel compiler :)

All C code uses the same standardized ABI. You can use precompiled MSVC C code in gcc windows builds.

I had colonised a planet in that system, I think that's the difference. I reproduced this:

Code: Select all

send starting fleet to enemy HW
build mark1 at HW
colonise planet at enemy system
conquer enemy system
Save game and reload fixes the problem so it's probably just a matter of checking all cases for a display update.
