[Freeciv-Dev] config vs ruleset
Soon I will have a week of free time, I'd like to dedicate it to freeciv. I have an idea of making longturn games more bloody, namely spoils of war. Each unit killed will grant the winner, say, gold += 0%-30% of shields of unit killed, bulbs += max(0, looser_bulbs-winner_bulbs)*0%-1%. These values should be configurable. So, three options: spoils_of_war = true|false unit_gold_spoils = 0..100 (double) unit_science_spoils = 0..100 (double) The loser would not loose gold, it's implied he spent it when he built the unit. Should this go to the ruleset or the options? What makes initial unit dispersion an 'option' and city radius a 'rule'? PS. unit gold upkeep is not yet implemented, right? -- Michal Mazurek ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

After a player logs out, the server stores the timestamp, then in the client we can see how long since a player was last seen.

Should this go to the ruleset or the options? What makes initial unit dispersion an 'option' and city radius a 'rule'? I think this depends on the view of the developer who implemented it. For some of the ruleset options/settings this can be discussed. Have a look at https://gna.org/patch/?2542 for a possible solution. At the moment it is only a plan with the question for input. PS. unit gold upkeep is not yet implemented, right? It is implemented and used by the experimental ruleset. Have a look at the shields2gold effect. There is still a patch missing (https://gna.org/patch/? 1936) - I did not had the time to rebase and test it.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #18707] Turns idle
Follow-up Comment #1, bug #18707 (project freeciv): Hm. When I tried it (with trunk), it seemed to basically work for me, save that it jumps straight from 0 to 3, so the first few turns of idleness don't show up. By work I mean that for connected clients where the user didn't do anything, the player Idle column increased. Players without connected clients behaved the same, and reconnecting but not doing anything didn't reset the counter. But doing an action to a unit did reset the counter. The jumping oddity comes from client/plrdlg_common.c:col_idle(), which cannot ever display an idle of less than 3. I don't understand why that should be. It's been that way since it first went in CVS in 1998. Anyone know? In my testing, I did find one client was persistently listed as not being idle even when I wasn't doing anything. Not sure why. Idleness is defined by server_packet_input(); any packet which can only legally come from a player resets nturns_idle (and it's incremented in send_year_to_clients()). I wouldn't like to say that there's no action a client can take autonomously on turn change that doesn't reset this... A player's idle as seen by another player isn't reset to 0 as soon as the player moves -- it generally updates at turn change. This is presumably because the server doesn't send out player_info updates to all clients purely based on nturns_idle being reset. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?18707 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #2542] server/ruleset settings
Follow-up Comment #2, patch #2542 (project freeciv): As a general, the elements that have the greatest influence on gameplay and strategy should be the easiest to find and change. The options menu is likely to trend toward complexity as time goes on, essentially becoming a 'trainer' or interactive server hacking platform. Perhaps a jump ahead would be to plan an actual IDE that can be launched from the lobby. Perhaps a tree view would be easier to navigate, something like XMLSpy's document editor? But if it gets so complex as to need a tree view perhaps there should also be a lightweight component with only the most popular options. Maybe a small XUL browser or the ilk. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?2542 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
