Details:

There has been numerous cases when AI moves it's troops in a battlefield
idiotically. It might be reported before, but I couldn't find bug relevant to
this case.

Screenshot attached to explain the problem. AI had phalanx on a mountain
adjacent to my city. After losing the one attacker it had there, AI abandonded
that perfect position and continued it's attack on open ground below, where
they are sitting ducks for my knight.

AI is not perfect, but that's bad enough to be considered a bug in my opinion.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #24989] City bombardment leaks a lot of information to attacker

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #24989 (project freeciv):

Could there be an option to just hide the combat animation in bombardments?
Not seeing the damage caused by bombardments seems realistic and would be an
easy fix, I think.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #23861] Version 2.5.1 hangs up on Windows XP?

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #23861 (project freeciv):

"Just to make sure: Does this happens both when the other language is en_US
(which is freeciv internal language - we actually get en_US to use by not
using any localization at all) and when it's something completely different,
such as en_UK ?"

Yes. If I change location and regional settings for windows to UK it works
only with en_GB etc...

Finnish works with whatever regional settings, but throws error message in
comment #13 when leaving program.

On the contrary what I said earlier, this seems to apply to release version as
well.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #23861] Version 2.5.1 hangs up on Windows XP?

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #23861 (project freeciv):

Actually, executing the test build (r30116) from freeciv-gtk2.exe seems to
work. It only hangs up when executed via freeciv-gtk2.cmd for different
language.

It still gave the same stderr.txt log, and following error message when
quitting the program:
"Command in address "0x7c91168b" pointed to memory in address"0x0004",
memory cannot be "read"."

This applies only to that test build, release version always hangs up.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #23861] Version 2.5.1 hangs up on Windows XP?

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #23861 (project freeciv):

"Am I righto assume that the language in question has 'ääkkösiä'?

Does freeciv-gtk2.exe hang the same way if you run it directly with LANG set
to 'fi'?"

The opposite. Due to automatic localization, game uses finnish when run
directly. Test version seems to hang up only when run other than systems
native language (finnish in my case).

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #23861] Version 2.5.1 hangs up on Windows XP?

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #23861 (project freeciv):


"You imply it was OK with 2.5.0?
Skimming the changes 2.5.0->2.5.1, I don't spot (or recall) any changes to the
network handling."

I downloaded and installed 2.5.0 again while ago and it works. 2.5.1 doesn't.

"Does the "client hang up" make it unresponsive forever, or can you click
"Connect to Network Game" after a while"

Yes, it goes unresponsive forever.

From stderr.txt (attached):
"in scroll_if_necessary() [../../../../../client/gui-gtk-2.0/chatline.c::561]:
assertion 'scroll_target != ((void *)0)' failed."

Chatline goes over the bounds and/or stucks in a loop?

I was running a game straight on Freeciv-server.exe. It gave following error
log after quitting the game.

I don't know if it is anyway connected with this bug though...

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22015] Nation color in ruleset based on most common color from nation flag

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #22015 (project freeciv):

Wouldn't it be much easier to just add preferred_color setting in nation
.ruleset files.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #23123] Whole usernames system, needs to be redesigned

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #23123 (project freeciv):

Much better practice would be to use only Leader name and allow hiding of the
username in options. Changing systems username for Freeciv is inconvinient,
and using generic system username reduces the feel of the game.

Disabling the players username would also make game less predictable by
allowing playing under alias. Also, nothing prevents using your username as
leaders name as well.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22743] Player name reveals how advanced his nation is before we explore it

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #22743 (project freeciv):

I suppose it wouldn't require that much work if username, when it's shown,
would be just masked/replaced with users Leader name. Who wants could still
use his username as Leader anyway.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #22899] All embassies are destroyed after civil war

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #22899 (project freeciv):

Or even better, randomize the losing of embassies. Weighted by the relations
between nations.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #23022] GTK2 Client crash when resize or move dialogs

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #23022 (project freeciv):

This error does not occur with Freeciv-2.5.0-beta2-win32-gtk2 on a 32 bit
windows XP.

I have same system and version and it crashes when moving dialogs on other
players turn. Not on your own turn.
Program has done illegal operation and has to be terminated

Might not be exactly like this but you know that message. (Translated from
finnish).

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #21710] Add inspirational descriptions or quotes to each technology in ruleset

[Jarkko Huttunen]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #21710 (project freeciv):

This should be implemented to later releases. Civ2 type entry for new
discoveries would make following the advancement of your civilization, and so
the gameplay, much easier and intriguing.

Generic discovered x researching y goal is z - messages feel total
understatements with advances.
