 You now should have received the email with the confirmation link. If
you didn't, or you had other problems in subscribing to the new list,
you can subscribe by yourself from the list info page of the new list:

 As gna.org is going to shut down, the freeciv-dev and freeciv-i18n
mailing lists need to be migrated to a new place. This requires some
activity from your part as we can't just subscribe you to the new
list(s) behind your back. We will initiate the subscription process
for all email addresses currently subscribed to the old lists on
gna.org during this week. It will result in an email to you,
originating from the new hosting, with a link with which you can
confirm your subscription to the new list. You can also opt to just
ignore that email if you don't want to subscribe to the new list.

 I'll send another email to these old gna.org lists once you should
have received the email to confirm your subscription to the new
list(s).

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-web WebGL/Three.js prototype

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hi again everyone,

I have just released an update of the Freeciv-web 3D WebGL version to the
production server.
The updated version is able to render the 3d unit models from Cimpletoon
blender collection,
and it should be possible to play a complete game. There is still a lot to
do, though!

The 3D WebGL version can be tested here:  https://play.freeciv.org/  (click
the "Single-player 3D Beta" button).

More information can be found on the project Github page:
https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web

Given how slowly my work on 2.6 is going, there will probably be a 2.5.7
at some point. We'll try to keep strings frozen on S2_5 unless some
compelling reason to break string freeze emerges.

 Technically yes, but let's not do string changes without good reasons
before there's at least one good reason to have 2.5.6 strings
different from 2.5.5 known.

 One alternative to this would be that we simply release 3.0 earlier.
In practice this would mean that it, despite major version bump, would
be relatively small release. Maybe we just start thinking about
branching S3_0 with just selected additions to what we currently have
in trunk, and postpone further development to 3.1.

 The problem I want to fight against with all this are the
compatibility issues with all kind of dependencies, such as problems
supporting sdl-1.2 client too far to the future.

[Freeciv-Dev] freeciv-2.7

[Marko Lindqvist]

I've been thinking possibility of freeciv-2.7 between freeciv-2.6 and
freeciv-3.0.
S2_7 would be branched from S2_6, some time after S2_6 npf (last freeze stage).

The idea of such a version would be providing some of the post-2.6 improvements
before 3.0 as wait between freeciv-2.6 and freeciv-3.0 is likely to be long.
As per our usual version numbering rules freeciv-2.7 would not need to
be compatible
with freeciv-2.6, except that it must be able to read old savegames
and 2.6 rulesets.

Some things that we may want to backport from TRUNK to S2_7:
- Data format fixes that we are not able to do in 2.6 due to d3f
- Network protocol fixes that we are not able to do in 2.6 due to npf
- Dropping xaw-client and sdl-client
- gtk3-client minimum gtk version bump (to 3.10) and improvements it allows
- Bootstrap update (m4 file updates and such)
- Compatibility loading of previous version rulesets (test it before
3.0 tries it)
- Msys2 based Installer builds for Windows as official builds
- New tilesets / rulesets

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv AI is discriminated against humans

[sinigmar]

To start dig deeper I need 2 things:
1) a text description of the game state model
2) the specification of client-server protocol

I don't understood which command do you mean. There is no "W" command in
server commands list:

Given a six players game anno 1000, w/ bigger map and somewhat 150 units to
move in 90 seconds, I'd say, humans cannot really react, either.

An AI with perfect reaction within 2 seconds, won't give you a chance.

So, before you do that, improve the way humans can access and move their
units.

What came to mind, the "W" ist still a server command, is this necessary?

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv AI is discriminated against humans

[sinigmar]

Hello,

I am fighter for the rights of AI in the world.

I found that in freeciv AI is discriminated in abilities to move.

Let's suppose that turn length is 180 seconds (3 minutes). All this time
humans can make moves, and AI's can't.

That should be changed!

AI's should be given the possibility to react to human moves in the same
way as other human players can react on moves of each other.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv 2.5.3 source code released

[Jacob Nevins]

A new stable release of Freeciv, 2.5.3, is available as source code for

This release is mainly for the benefit of distribution maintainers
rather than end users, as it fixes a failure to build when not using the
supplied 'configure' script. However, it has a few other selected bug
fixes as well. See the full list of changes:
.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-3D

[Drake]

Hello team,

I see that you prepare to initiate the transition from a 2D game to more 3D.
I fully agree with this choice.

There are two things which I think you could consider :
- the use of a globe akin to the one in civ4, with latitude and longitude, and 
absence of poles, at least as an experiment for east-west wrap and north-south 
non-wrap.
- try something like indiegogo to measure public interest and if necessary get 
some money for the project (make a dev full-time or hire a pro ?). It could 
also be the occasion to propose some pins, posters... to fans.

Thanks,
Drake

So S2_5 is unfrozen.

 At the same time, one final release of 2.4 code -- 2.4.5 -- has been

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-web and Mozilla Firefox

[Silvio Chiba]

Hi, I'm part of the Mozilla bizdev team working on content acquisition and
distribution for desktop.

It would be great opportunity to figure out how to get your games and the
Firefox browser could play together. Awesome open source HTML5 games by the
way!

Since you made this title using web technology the port should be seamless
 Let me know if there is interest here to learn about how we can help
expose these awesome games to our 350M MAUs.

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-web and Mozilla Firefox

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hello Silvio,

I think it is very exciting that the Mozilla bizdev team shows interest in
Freeciv-web, and I am positive to any cooperation
where we can expose Freeciv-web to an even larger number of users through
the Firefox browser and the Firefox OS.
Freeciv-web is already featured on the Firefox marketplace, but if there
are other things we can do with Freeciv-web
running on Firefox that would be of interest.

A default install of Freeciv-web on all Firefox OS devices would be a
fantastic situation for the Freeciv-web project. Further, featuring
Freeciv-web on the frontpage of the Firefox marketplace would also help.
Freeciv-web works best on tablets, desktop and devices with larger screens
currently. It is also of interest to get me access to some devices running
Firefox OS, particularly mobile devices with small screens, since there is
still some work remaining to adapt the game to mobile devices with small
screens. If you have some other suggestions for Freeciv-web and how it
could be made better on the Firefox OS please let me know!

Regards,
Andreas R.

 where we can expose Freeciv-web to an even larger number of users through
 the Firefox browser and the Firefox OS.
 Freeciv-web is already featured on the Firefox marketplace, but if there
 are other things we can do with Freeciv-web
 running on Firefox that would be of interest.

 A default install of Freeciv-web on all Firefox OS devices would be a
 fantastic situation for the Freeciv-web project. Further, featuring
 Freeciv-web on the frontpage of the Firefox marketplace would also help.
 Freeciv-web works best on tablets, desktop and devices with larger screens
 currently. It is also of interest to get me access to some devices running
 Firefox OS, particularly mobile devices with small screens, since there is
 still some work remaining to adapt the game to mobile devices with small
 screens. If you have some other suggestions for Freeciv-web and how it
 could be made better on the Firefox OS please let me know!

 Regards,
 Andreas R.

 Hi, I'm part of the Mozilla bizdev team working on content acquisition
 and distribution for desktop.

 It would be great opportunity to figure out how to get your games and the
 Firefox browser could play together. Awesome open source HTML5 games by the
 way!

 Since you made this title using web technology the port should be
 seamless  Let me know if there is interest here to learn about how we can
 help expose these awesome games to our 350M MAUs.

 Regards,
 Silvio

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv should have the Terra mapscript from Civilization 4

[Jim K]

What is the point of simulating the technologies from the Voyages of
Discovery if there is no New World to discover? Sure, there are other
continents, but they are no different from your home continent due to the
fact that they carry the same advanced civilizations. I mean as in, a
large, empty, almost-entirely undisturbed hemisphere ready to be exploited.

I have no experience with coding, so pardon my ignorance if these requests
seem too large, but why not have a map generation type that simply puts in
2 continent-shaped blobs. The Old World, where all the players start,
will be larger to accomodate the density of many civs stuck on one
landmass, and represent how large Afro-Eurasia is compared to the Americas.

The New World will have plenty more resources to encourage Colonisation,
as well as limited wandering barbarian units to represent native peoples.

I can understand if this task is too difficult, and I may be asking the
wrong person, but if you do know who to send it to, please do.

*But if there is a way to simply manipulate the custom game options, to get
something like I described above, or any custom-made maps from the Wiki
starting all players in a single landmass, please inform me.*

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv should have the Terra mapscript from Civilization 4

[Vasco Alexandre da Silva Costa]

The Aztecs were not wandering barbarian units and even North America had
settled areas, farmers and fishermen before the Europeans came. The
Americas were not something out of a cowboy movie.

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv should have the Terra mapscript from Civilization 4

[Vasco Alexandre da Silva Costa]

The way this is reproduced in games like Europa Universalis is that nations
in the Americas and Africa have a reduced tech research rate due to their
'culture'. EU has nation, race, culture attributes. The race attributes
influence the ease of assimilation of conquered lands and revolt risk.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv 2.5.0 final release

[Jacob Nevins]

The final release of Freeciv 2.5.0 is now available as source code for
download, based on the second release candidate.

Compared to 2.4, 2.5 ships with David Fernandez's civ2civ3 ruleset for
the first time (as well as the classic rules), gives much more
flexibility to other ruleset authors, and includes a new Qt client.
See more details at http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/NEWS-2.5.0.

Compared to RC2, the final release just updates some translations and
graphics.

Download the source tarball from one of our mirrors, linked from
http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Download#Stable_2.5.
(Windows packages should follow shortly at the same location.)

Thanks to all contributors and bug reporters that helped with this
release over the past three years or so. Enjoy it!

On behalf of the Freeciv Dev Team,
  Jacob Nevins

So the string/code freeze on S2_5 is now lifted.

At some point soonish we'll have a last 2.4.5 release, and there have
been some string changes since 2.4.4, so translators should plan one
last round of translations on S2_4.

S2_4 strings aren't frozen yet (and I have at least one string change
pending), but we should probably not gratuitously change strings from
now on.

 String freeze remains in effect until 2.5.0. Code changes should be
 limited to important bugfixes.

Now that the RC1 Windows packages are available, release candidate clock
is started, per http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Release#Release_Candidate.

I can't make a midweek release, so the first opportunity to release
2.5.0 will be the weekend of 7-8 March.

 (Remember, there's still time to update translations for 2.5.0.)

...so that's the current deadline for translations.
I recommend submitting them no later than 1000 UTC on the 7th to be sure
they'll get in, although I will keep checking for new ones up until I
drop the tag.

po-files at http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/translations/S2_5/ have been
updated today, picking up a missing no-c-format and some TRANS comments.

 Increase the effect of martial law under Tribal government from 0 to 2 per

 combat)

 As previously suggested, string freeze now in effect on S2_4.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv AI ruleset

[Simon Bradley]

A few tips on the AI ruleset;

In essence, the ruleset means that a human player is going to go one of two 
ways, either they lose early because they cannot develop fast enough to ward 
off hostile AI nations and warred to death or they win because they research 
and develop the opposition to death, the game becomes boring because either 
humans lose early or win in the long term, knowing they are going to win well 
before the actual end.  The AI scores rarely get above 400, so as soon as the 
human reaches a score of 400 they know they are winning, but that is just ⅓ 
into the game itself.


Set out below are some of the reasons why this happens;


Differentiation between different combat units


There seems to be no differentiation between different combat units.  EG a sea 
unit will attack a ground enemy when there is nothing to be gained by it, 
purely because it can and will win and usually because the ground unit is weak. 
 However, in doing so, it will merely weaken itself to counter attack from a 
stronger enemy sea or air unit.  It is very rare for a sea unit to prosper in 
attacking an enemy ground unit outside of a city.


Ruleset change; Sea units attack sea units or cities only.

Ruleset change : A ground or air unit only attacks another unit for an 
objective (defence/attack), at the moment the objective seems irrelevant to the 
decision unless its critical.


Warfare


It seems that there is too much bias in the ruleset to begin warfare.  Warfare 
is expensive, especially when units are constantly being lost in such warfare, 
it should really and only be a resort once (1) the nation is large enough to 
accommodate it and (2) the nation has the capability of replacing the units 
lost in warfare to the same or similar extent without affecting other 
advancements.  The current system is so warfare orientated that an AI nation 
will almost be happy to commit suicide trying to beat an AI opponent and 
leaving itself completely unready for an attack from elsewhere.


Furthermore, it seems that warfare in one part of the nation is far more 
important than development in another part of the nation.  What happens is that 
two nations with the same border are constantly at war with each other, 
constantly losing units in that war and seemingly never ending the war despite 
the fact that both will be dramatically weakened by war and will lack the 
ability to actually defend against another enemy afterwards and they are so 
concentrating on war that they lose the ability to develop in other areas.  
This has improved with the diplomacy but is still an issue as diplomacy doesn't 
seem to be used by AI very much.


Ruleset change : War should be a last resort not a first decision.  Perhaps 
increase the parameters to make was less appealing.  Also peace should be the 
first objective.


Also, it seems that warfare, once instigated just goes on and on and on, there 
seems to be no period of consolidation, so an AI army will be like locusts, 
going around killing everything it can but leaving very little behind.  Once a 
city is conquered, the AI should consolidate.


Ruleset change : At least 5 turns before the next city is attacked.


Also there is substantial unhappiness due to many military units being outside 
the city fighting elsewhere.  This leads to a city having to cut production in 
order to deal with unhappiness.


Ruleset change : only 1 military unit that is supported by an AI city is 
allowed to leave the city itself.


Lack of research


I find that the AI research seems to shoot along to a certain level and then 
the research slows down dramatically.  The easy way to win is to stay out of 
the battles and make peace until you are way beyond the AI research level and 
then make units that are much stronger (such as stealth bombers).  Research 
should continue as a priority in AI continually but I suspect the AI ruleset 
doesn't put enough emphasis on research and lets it drag at whatever speed it 
takes.


Also, every city I build has a university in early build.


Not a single AI city I take over has a University.


That means that I can produce more research from 6 cities than an AI with 20 
cities.


Ruleset change : Put more emphasis onto research and less onto warfare.


Lack of proper development of cities


The AI really only gives a city the barest minimum requirements and usually not 
even that.  EG my cities have 25 structures, the ones I take over usually have 
1-2 and maximum 5.  No city I take over has (1) factory, (2) bank, (3) Stock 
Exchange, (4) mass transit, (5) supermarket, (6) super highways, (7) 
sanitation.  Due to this, the AI cities stay very small and don't develop.  
Once my cities are developed, the AI can never take them over or even match 
them.


Ruleset change : Development of cities needs a much higher priority put onto it 
in the ruleset, unless a critical build is required.


Lack of use of the research that has occurred already


Many times I take over a

 All of freeciv is released under GPLv2+, which is in the file named
COPYING, except some fonts which have their respective COPYING.font

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-Web ideas, suggestions and feedback

[Andreas Røsdal]

Thanks for the feedback by testing on a Chromebook. As Freeciv-web is the 
only way to play Freeciv on a Chromebook, since it's only web-based, so I 
really want to improve Freeciv-web so that it works better on a 
Chromebook. The challenge is that the Chromebooks usually have slow CPUs 
and no GPU, so the performance will be very poor. A screenshot would be 
very useful. I'll try to get access to a Chromebook myself to check it 
out.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-Web ideas, suggestions and feedback

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hi again all Freeciv developers!

I would be very interested in some new ideas, suggestions and feedback 
about the current state of Freeciv-web. So if you could give the game a 
try on http://play.freeciv.org/ and report your impressions, that would 
be great, so that I know what to focus on next.


For developers it should be very easy to setup a development environment 
using Vagrant, step by step instructions can be found here:

https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web

The Vagrant guest OS has been recently updated to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which 
should fix some issues reported on Vagrant previously.

I have released the current master branch in git to production, please 
give it a try here: http://play.freeciv.org/


I would be very interested in feedback about things to improve for the 
next release which effect the user experience, testing on mobile and 
tablet devices, and reports of other things you might find.


The source can as usual be found here on github:
https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv Github test

[Andreas Røsdal]

I did a test-migration from svn to github here:
https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-test

This was done using svn2git:
https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git
https://help.github.com/articles/importing-from-subversion

Feel free to test it out. The actual migration process was quite quick and 
easy to perform. I have not yet migrated all the users, branches 
and tags, but I just wanted to test out github for Freeciv to see what 
people thought about it first.


Regards,
Andreas

Great! I'm still fine with using code inspections to review Freeciv-web
patches.
Do we have any documentation about this review process?

Anything we can do to bring Freeciv and Freeciv-web closer together I am
positive about. So I hope that we can work together to remove the patches
needed
to build Freeciv-web.

How is the update of Freeciv-web going? I see that you have reached 
revision 23908, and also cleaned up some of the patches, which is great!
How much work do you think is remaining? What do you think should be the 
next steps for Freeciv-web after the upgrade is complete?

 I'm just doing checkout of freeciv-web again. I noticed that the
freeciv server is from last summer TRUNK, so it's a bit like bad sides
of both worlds (using stable branch vs development version): unstable
but old. Swithcing back to stable S2_5 would probably be
counter-productive at this point, so I think we should forward it to
use current development code again. Is it ok if I do? It's likely to
break thing or two for a while, so if you're about to get new version
to production soon, it's better to postpone the freeciv-server update
after that.
 All this assuming that I now get my freeciv-web development
environment to work again.

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-Web Project.

[Marko Lindqvist]

I'll try to get one step forward tonight (to revision 24430 it seems),
and rest during the weekend. Once freeciv-web reaches freeciv trunk
HEAD, I plan to work on reducing the diff between freeciv and
freeciv-web copy of it in a synchronized manner. There's already patch
#4484 and patch #4485 waiting for that. But I guess that should be the
normal development mode where freeciv-web (master branch) copy of
freeciv server gets constantly updated, so you should be able to work
on web side then, though I don't know if you need to create branches
for versions that actually get deployed.

 My installation of freeciv-web is not complete, so unfortunately I
have not been able to test how scenarios work. There's one important
change there - France scenario now has Inaccessible terrains on East
and South borders. Units shouldn't be able to enter these tiles and
cities should be unable to work them.

 In general freeciv-web development I'm also expecting to fully
implement support for multiple installations on the same machine, to
be able to switch between different versions when developing/testing.
For most parts it's already possible to install it to location other
than ~/freeciv-build/ (I have never used it there) Documentation
obviously needs updating.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv 2.4.2 and 2.3.5 source code released

[Jacob Nevins]

A new stable release of Freeciv, 2.4.2, is available as source code for
download.

This is a bugfix release; an important pathfinding bug which could cause
unattended aircraft to run out of fuel has been fixed, along with the
usual selection of crashes and other fixes. See the full list of changes:
http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/NEWS-2.4.2.

At the same time, one final release of 2.3 code -- 2.3.5 -- has been
made to mop up bug fixes from the past year or so. Details at
http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/NEWS-2.3.5.

Download the source tarballs from one of our mirrors, linked from
http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Download.
(Windows packages should follow shortly at the same location.)

Thanks to all contributors and bug reporters that helped with this
release. Enjoy it!

That's it for S2_3 now, barring some embarrassing regression. No need to

 I thought of that too, but considered latter part of your reasoning
con rather than pro. Spacerace makes sense in a small subset of
rulesets only (luckily it can be disabled) so having reference to it
prominently in the name would send a bit wrong message.

 For example Alien ruleset really shouldn't have spacerace in its
current form, though it is there in lack of any better way to
implement technological victory in a ruleset.

Re: [Freeciv-Dev] [Freeciv-i18n] Speculation about renaming the freeciv project

There are lots of interesting topics on this forum, I need to register :)

For Polish none of the options is particularly transparent, but neither is
Freeciv. I like Cultomundi because it sounds nice, but I don't think it
would ring a bell for Polish speakers (which is not necessarily a
disadvantage, we are quite used to foreign words in proper names). One
proposal that I can think of is Ad Astra, which would highlight the
aspect of scientific development and would fit in nicely with the concept
of sending the spaceship to Alpha Centauri. It also comes from a Latin
phrase, so there is a change that it would ring a bell to most of European
and Anglophones,

Thank you for the response, I've been keen about the freeciv-web project
and was hoping to get started on it.
But this mailing list seems to be slow moving, not a lot of traction here.


I've noticed a bunch of tasks defined on the TODO file;
https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web/blob/master/TODO
Do they represent the current set of tasks (or direction) for the project ?
If that's so, would it be okay to just add them to the github's issue
tracker ?

I'd be happy to do that, let me know.

Do they represent the current set of tasks (or direction) for the project ?


Yes, the TODO file is a useful place to look for things to improve. If you 
have other suggestions, that would be fine also.



If that's so, would it be okay to just add them to the github's issue
tracker ?


Bugs to Freeciv-web can be reported to the Freeciv-web category here:

Let me know if you need help getting Freeciv-web running on your local 
computer. It can take some effort, but should be possible.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv 2.4.0 final release

[Jacob Nevins]

The final release of Freeciv 2.4.0 is now available, based on the second
release candidate.

See what's changed from 2.3.x: http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/NEWS-2.4.0.

Download the source tarball from one of our mirrors, linked from
http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Download#Stable_2.4.

The final release is practically identical to RC2, so while final
Windows packages are not yet available, 2.4.0-RC2 is still good.

Thanks to all contributors and bug reporters that helped with this
release. Enjoy it!

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-web, what now? ideas and suggestions!

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hi all Freeciv developers,

As you all probably know by now, Freeciv is playable online in the 
browser here:  http://play.freeciv.org/


Now I would like to get some ideas and suggestions about what do focus on 
improving next. So it would be great if the Freeciv developers to test it 
out, and report what that would like to see improved. I have closed most 
of the bugs reposted previously, and would like some more feedback now.


The source code can be found here:
https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web

I can help any developers interesting in getting the local version up and 
running on their system.


So I'm looking forward to our bugsreports and feedback!

Andreas

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv recorder 0.0.2

[Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik]

My recorder has a new version. It can record a Freeciv game and later
replay it to a Freeciv server. A replay can be seen by connecting as
an observer to the Freeciv server it is played back to. The program
has rough edges. Bugs are expected. Please follow the instructions in
the README file to test that everything works before trying to record
a long game.

Downloads
 * A version compiled for the Freeciv 2.4 beta can be found at
http://folk.ntnu.no/kvilhaug/freeciv/0.0.2/FreecivRecorder-0.0.2-for-freeciv-2.4-beta.tar.bz2
The Freeciv 2.4 beta and Java (6 or 7) must be downloaded from
somewhere else unless you already got it. This file also include the
source code and the Freeciv source code used to generate some of the
Java code.
 * The source code alone can be found at
http://folk.ntnu.no/kvilhaug/freeciv/0.0.2/FreecivRecorder-0.0.2.tar.bz2
(nothing else included). This can be compiled to support Freeciv 2.4,
2.5 or trunk.
 * If you want a compiled version for 2.5 or trunk tell me and I'll create it.

Feedback
To give feed back reply to this email or the forum thread at
http://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=9t=81 I would appreciate
to be told about bugs you discover. This includes bugs in the
documentation. I would also like to be told if everything works great.
Knowing how important various bugs or missing features are to you can
help me decide what to focus on during the time I use on the recorder.
 * This is a command line program. It assumes that Freeciv is started
from the command line as well. I'm considering adding a GUI. I'm also
considering adding automatic launching of the Freeciv server. If you
want to test the recorder but don't know how to use the command line
please tell me.
 * At the moment a recording is stored in one file pr connected
Freeciv client. To play back a multi player game all the files must be
sent to the play back program.
 * Unless a name is specified the record files will be given a default
name. The next unnamed record wil overwrite it unless the files are
renamed or moved.
 * The recorder cause a delay when its recording. The default mode can
be made faster.
 * A record of remote players played back locally or local players
played back remotely usually won't work.

Known issues:
 * The Freeciv server had a bug that crashed it when a global observer
viewed a game. This has been fixed in recent versions.
 * If you have a time out during a game but don't record time
information the recording will be useless.
 * The Windows implementation of the Freeciv hack protocol may use a
different location than Freeciv use on some set ups.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv recorder 0.0.1

[Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik]

My Freeciv recorder has now reached version 0.0.1. It should be usable
for people technical enough to read this list. A game is recorded by
inserting the recorder between the server and the client(s). The
records can later be played back to the Freeciv server.

It should be started from the command line. To run it Java 6 or 7 is
required. It has been tested on GNU/Linux (Debian Wheezy). It has been
confirmed to work on at least some Windows configurations.

Before play back the Freeciv server must be in the same state as it
was before recording. This can be done by loading the same savegame or
setting the same gameseed and mapseed. More details on how to use it
are found in the README.

Getting it:
 * A version compiled for the Freeciv 2.4 beta (without including it)
can be found at
http://folk.ntnu.no/kvilhaug/freeciv/0.0.1/FreecivRecorder-0.0.1-for-freeciv-2.4-beta.tar.bz2
It also include the source code and the Freeciv source code used to
generate some of the Java code.
 * A tarball containing the source code alone can be found at
http://folk.ntnu.no/kvilhaug/freeciv/0.0.1/FreecivRecorder-0.0.1.tar.bz2
 * The source code and its version history can be downloaded using
Bazaar by running the command
 bzr branch http://folk.ntnu.no/kvilhaug/bazaar/FreecivRecorder/
 * The source code and its version history can also be downloaded
using a recent versions of git + the git contrib script git-remote-bzr
by running the command
 git clone bzr::http://folk.ntnu.no/kvilhaug/bazaar/FreecivRecorder/

To get Freeciv download the 2.4 beta from the Freeciv web site or
compile SVN trunk.

To test that everything works start a freeciv server and run the
helper script testSignInToServer (testSignInToServer.bat on Windows)
or launch FCJTestSignIn.jar directly if that is easier. If you can see
the protocol converted to text it works.

The next thing to test it the recorder. Start a Freeciv server
listening to port 5. Start the recorder (./proxyRecorder or
proxyRecorder.bat). Then start a client connecting to the regular
port. Set the gameseed and the mapseed from the Freeciv client so the
state is taken care of. It is recommended to only record a few turns
using a single client until you know its working. Exit the server by
typing /quit on its command line. To play it back start a Freeciv
server listening to the normal port. Then run playRecord. Don't
connect a client until the record is done. If everything is the same
as they were when you exited it worked.

Known issues:
 * The Freeciv server, at least using my set up, have a tendency to
crash when a global observer is connected.
 * The play back's implementation of Freeciv's hack protocol will act
as if it were the client. If you record a remote client and play it
back locally this may cause hack access to be granted when it really
shouldn't.
 * The Windows implementation of the Freeciv hack protocol may use a
different location than Freeciv use on some set ups.
 * Unless you exit the Freeciv server (by using /quit) before
disconnecting the last client the recorder may not exit.
 * The capability support is limited. Programs that understand the
packets, like inspectTrace, will error out on variants. The recorder
don't understand anything by default.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-web update

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hi all Freeciv developers!

It has now been about a week since Freeciv-web became playable on 
http://play.freeciv.org/ so I thought that I should post an update.


13,688 people visited play.freeciv.org accoding to Google Analytics.

Worldwide productivity has plummeted, accoding to pcgamer.com:
http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/10/freeciv-available-in-html5-browsers-worldwide-productivity-plummets/

As you can see from the Freeciv-web metaserver, there is quite a lot of 
activity:

http://play.freeciv.org/freecivmetaserve/metaserver.php

In fact, there is so much activity that the server is running on very high 
load, and isn't able to accept more players into games at times. So at 
the moment we already could use more server resources.


Here's more background information about the Freeciv-web client:
http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/FreecivWebClient

Here's the source code on github:
https://github.com/andreasrosdal/freeciv-web
https://github.com/cazfi/freeciv-web
(fork us on github!)

I would still really like to engage more developers in Freeciv-web 
development. So if you are interested, then I can help you setup the 
development environment if you need any help. Also, developers testing the 
game on http://play.freeciv.org and reporting bugs would be very useful!

It's limited by both CPU and RAM at the moment. Memory usage 78% and 
system load (uptime) between 2 and 4. This is running 200 
freeciv-web(civserver) server processes. Adding more game servers requires 
more CPU and RAM.

[Freeciv-Dev] Freeciv-web online at play.freeciv.org

[Andreas Røsdal]

Hi all,

The Freeciv-web client can now be played online here:
http://play.freeciv.org/

It would be very useful if the freeciv players could
give it a good testing, and report any bugs that
you might find.

It would also be great with some links from freeciv.org
to play.freeciv.org, so that people can find it.

All the gettext documentation I can find notes that comments to
translators are introduced as

But freeciv code seems to use /* TRANS: consistently (and it shows up

Hi,

While I'm hardly an authority on the coding bit, from the point of view of
the translator the 1st method look nice. In principle, I would go for
static grammar and would not like dynamically generated sentences. If I
understand this correctly, dynamic sentences could more or less work for
my language (Polish), but I'm not sure if negative sentences can be easily
auto-generated in other languages, so (as a translator) I'd leave as much
freedom and flexibility to translators.

 As part of the general coverage of negated I wanted to update
 the helpdata, so that it didn't report Requires Amphibious Elephants
 when in fact if one had built that road adjacent to the city, one would be
 *unable* to build the Miniature Aquarium SmallWonder.  Reviewing what
 was
 already there led to patch #3836, but I stumbled when it came to adding
 the
 negation, as there were four sensible ways to do it, and I'd rather ask
 which is preferred than just do it the wrong way and need to redo it.

 Method 1: static grammar, static strings
 Define four strings in the beginning of insert_requirement(), being
 Requires that, Prevented by, Applies to, Does not apply to or
 similar.  Rephrase all the helpstrings to start with one of these pairs
 of strings, and use preq-negated : reqstring ? nreqstring or similar as
 an additional %s parameter in the cat_snprintf() calls.


  Those should be full format strings (with '%s' in them) so that
 translators are free to set order of words (i.e. there can be something
 *after* %s) as their target language requires. Requires %s, Prevented by
 %s, Applies to %s, Does not apply to %s.


 Method 2: static grammer, dynamic strings
 Define two string variables at the beginning of insert_requirement(),
 being Requires that and Applies to.  Have a single conditional on
 preq-negated that would reset these strings to something else if it was
 met.  Rephrase all the helpstrings to start with one of these pairs of
 strings, and use reqstring or appstring as an additional %s parameter.

 Method 3: dynamic grammar, compound calls
 Replace the current translated strings with pairs of translated
 strings
 depending on whether this is a positive or negative requirement.  Decide
 which
 to use with preq-negated : _(First String) ? _(Second String)
 embedded
 in the cat_snprintf() calls.

 Method 4: dynamic grammar, conditional calls
 Duplicate and wrap the snprintf() calls in preq-negated conditionals.
 Rewrite the negative text in every case.

 Advice, selection, or recommendation of even better ways to do it
 welcome.

Thanks a lot.  In that case, I'll do it with two separate translatable
strings for each condition.  This gives maximum freedom and flexibility.

Something like:

  if (!preq-negated) {
cat_snprintf(buf, bufsz,
 _(Requires that any player has researched 
   the %s technology.\n),
 advance_name_for_player(pplayer, advance_number
 (preq-source.value.advance)));
  } else {
cat_snprintf(buf, bufsz,
 _(Requires that no player has yet researched 
   the %s technology.\n),
 advance_name_for_player(pplayer, advance_number
 (preq-source.value.advance)));
  }
return TRUE;

So translators will have two strings to work with, allowing words in
the target language to be inserted wherever needed for the grammar of the
target language (example for English above uses any and no...yet as
a demonstration).  This also allows more extreme differentiation in the
case where direct negation is difficult in a target language, such as:

  if (!preq-negated) {
cat_snprintf(buf, bufsz, _(Requires the %s goverment.\n),
 government_name_translation(preq-source.value.govern));
  } else {
cat_snprintf(buf, bufsz, _(Not available under the %s government.\n).
 government_name_translation(preq-source.value.govern));
  }
  return TRUE;

Is there anything I can do with comments or other indicators to help
indicate to translators that the paired strings are intended to be negated
representations of each other, or is all this lost when the strings are
extracted for translation?
