This "should not happen":-), as the specialists should have been given a
WishRealizationMission to go to the colony that needs them.  However I can
believe that the mission allocation is borked.  I will look at it.

Point taken on the privateers, but I think the AI should be allowed to
transport things efficiently if it can.  I really do not like using the AI
cheats as a justification for anything (ideally we should be working on
cheating less).  Lets see if I can fix the current failure.

No worries, I have not had a chance to look at the music at all, so your
call.

No problems with that, and I definitely can see the point with #2, given
that I am still finding event-dispatch-thread related crashes.  What would
be really good is an intense burst of testing.  Where is our publicity
manager--- you there Blake?

Hi,

> In game music from Alexander Zhelanov

I think we should postpone adding the music until FreeCol 0.13.0, and make that 
release one/two month(s) from now. That way, we have more tracks available -- 
avoiding making the players tired of hearing the same few tracks being played 
over-and-over.

In addition, there are several changes requiring new translation strings that I 
have postponed since we are close to a release. It would be nice having another 
release rather soon.


So, my suggestion is:

1. Make a new nightly build since there are multiple important fixes that have 
been added lately.
2. Make an announcement on the forum and Discord channel that we will be 
releasing 0.12.0 in a few days -- and that testing and bug reports (or even 
reports that everything works fine on a specific operating system) is 
especially appreciated.
3. Publish our plan for a 0.13.0 release on the forum so that Alexander/Misiulo 
know the deadline if they want something included.
4. Publish our plan for a 1.0.0 release on January 2nd, 2023.

Re: [Freecol-developers] [freecol:bugs] Re: #3247 Strange queue of AI ships to Indians settlements

2022-04-24 Thread Stian Grenborgen 
Hi,


We equip non-scouting specialists with horses, muskets and tools to better 
utilize the capacity of the ship. These units should never be sent on a 
ScoutingMission (likewise for soldiers and pioneers).


It's easy enough checking for this in the mission, but perhaps a better 
solution would be having the goods transported separately? This would make it 
more fun for human players utilizing privateers (making the ship easier and 
more fun to sink). The AI gets extra ships (by cheating) so the difficulty 
should not be a problem.


Best wishes,
Stian Grenborgen

I also noticed that a scouts being an expert tobacconist have been rerouted to 
an indian settlement for a scouting mission. This should also be fixed in the 
scouting mission.

This has been done in git.0dffd87. The scout now disembarks to a tile
adjacent to the settlement, and the ship leaves for its next task. Not
sure if the scouting mission completes because the settlement has been
scouted by another player (the scouting unit does not "know" this when the
mission is created), but it does get a new mission.

Hello

I detected a strange queue of AI ships to Indians settlements, that remains 
forever here

I created the game with Nightly Release: 2022-03-15

I attach some captures, I think that ships are trying to trade with native 
settlements and something went wrong, but is only a thought

Thanks for your fantastic work! :D

Ugh, this has been a frequently broken area for some time.  Is there a
official-Java media framework these days?

Yeah that's sounds good and I'm happy for it to automatically send to the Col 
social media groups I run as like I said in the past I pretty much set them up 
for promoting FreeCol to general Col fans anyway haha! Like Caleb I have no 
idea how to set something like that up either though sadly. Hopefully the 
discord github action supports giving it a specific subchannel within the 
discord (eg the freecol subchat we've been using) otherwise god knows where 
it'll end up in the channel. Stian's been doing some cool stuff in that chat 
lately which is awesome to see as there's a few programmers there who sound 
tempted to join the team! Also if you guys want a private developer only 
subchat setup on the Col discord too for the team to communicate without snail 
mail delays just let me know. :)
Oh and does GitHub Actions support posting to Reddit too? As FYI I also set up 
a 3rd Col community there too which has surprisingly actually now grown bigger 
than the Facebook and Discord ones!https://www.reddit.com/r/ColonizationGame/

do to make FreeCol more accessible to the people that are playing the game, the 
better. Posting to Facebook and Discord would be really helpful too.

We can do this directly from SourceForge.net using a Git server hook. There is 
no need for Travis.

We can use GitHub Actions for making these builds. Github Actions is free for 
public repositories.

The Mac bundle can be created using GitHub Actions. We can also automatically 
both build and publish nightly builds. Release notes can be automatically 
generated using commit messages (although such a commit log might not be user 
friendly). It's apparently even possible to automatically post messages to 
Discord and Facebook -- although I have not tried that before.

[Freecol-developers] Cortado Bug

2022-04-24 Thread Stian Grenborgen 
Hi,

There is a bug in Cortado that prevents playing the intro movie on systems 
where "java.vendor" does not contain a space:
https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/cortado/-/blob/master/src/com/fluendo/player/CortadoPipeline.java#L601

I have committed a workaround:
https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/git/ci/b7872e6b5f2920a844b45fc8fdccc35e8c799a41/

...although I would suggest we resurrect our own fork of Cortado as the Cortado 
project seems to be dead.


Best wishes,
Stian Grenborgen
