Summary: Concede

Initial Comment:
There is an annoying feature that it when your titan stack is attacked you still have the option to Concede, and in this case it should confirm this because I accidentally did it and lost my game :-( 

So if any battle involving your Titan stack occurs either don't give the Concede option or ask for verification.

Summary: Battle Hangs When Trying to Carry Attack

Initial Comment:
Windows 7 x64
JRE 1.6.0_39 x86 w/ WebStart
Colossus 0.13.2 rev 5134 2012-03-14T23:46:06
Battlemap: Beelzegods12 1.02

In any player battle when the player's creature tries to carry over hits, the battle interface hangs: the turn never ends or proceeds. The game can be saved and replayed but the next player attempt to carry over a hit will stall the battle interface again. Was working fine with JRE 1.6.0_38.

Summary: Network multi-player games won't re-load

Initial Comment:
When playing network games with other humans, we can rarely re-load a saved game.  If we try over and over again it will sometimes work, but usually not.  Sometimes one player will get in and be able to execute their turn, but the other players just see an empty board.

Windows verison.

Thanks, Bill

Ugh. Siunds weird. But I admit I haven't actually used the network reload
stuff for a long while, so one of the many changes (especially the
reconnect) might have broken something. I will try it out.

Thx,
Clemens

Summary: Game Hangs After Java 1.7.13 Update

Initial Comment:
The game hangs in combat sometimes when carryover damage target is chosen.  It seems to happen randomly but is very frustrating because the game is hung and can't be resumed.  This is the error trace I get from the command line when the error occurs.  I never had any problems with earlier versions of Java.

Message:

Uh. Well, this was a _good_ but report! Although such random hangs are hard
to find root cause and fix it.

The error messages seem to be a common problem with certain Mac OS
versions:

http://forum.processing.org/topic/java-errors

Question: do those messages appear always, even/before if game does not
hang? Then I would expect they are unrelated.

Are you able to provide logging output? 

Either by making Java console visible 
  http://colossus.sourceforge.net/docs/EnableJavaConsoleLogging.html (well
that's for on Windows, but perhaps there's something similar in Mac),
or by finding Colossus0.log log file ? (Help => About might should give you
info where to find it.)

If you find it, post, like, last 30 lines from it.

Thx,
Clemens

Summary: Remote client might or might not use xml files from server

Initial Comment:

At the moment a remote client will ask for the xml files describing the variant from server only, if it's a variant different than the one which is currently loaded (e.g. during application startup, which is selected in the variant selection drop-down menu). This will cause problems if server side (especially the one hosted on public server) runs already a version with variant changes in it, but users use old clients.

The client will thus see e.g. different recruiting conditions, skill/power factor values, or whatever was changed. Either the client prevents actions which would be allowed now, or it allows things server will reject.

We have two variant changes pending now, due to which I didn't do a new release so far because of those compatibility issues above.

IMHO best solution would probably be, provide a new (minor bugfix-) release which brings a fix to only this problem (identifying itself as a new client-counter-version, from 4 to 5 I think), and before making a release that incorporates variant changes, make the "minimum accepted client counter version" also 5. And give players/users 1-3 weeks of time to upgrade when it suits them.

Summary: pick engagement, can't change mind

Initial Comment:
When you select an engagement, you are offered the concede/no concede option.  What would be handy is if you could cancel out of that engagement if you realize you could select you engagements in a more optimal way.  As it is once you pick an engagement you have to fight that engagement.

Exactly, I would have replied same as the first replier (Bruno? ;-)

(in fact, I think I once did extra work that one can NOT just close that
eng. with the upper right corner "x" but instead it insists in getting and
answer NOW.)

However, we could discuss about this as option for "local against AIs" or
"just for fun amongst friends". But then, getting used to it and then not
have it in "real" games... ?!?

The rules of the game are that once you look at an opponent's legion in an
engagement you are committed to resolving that engagement now. You don't
get to look at the contents of multiple legions before deciding which one
to resolve first.

Summary: Make column widths of proposed games table persistent

Initial Comment:

In the "webclient" (= when connected to public server), in the table which shows proposed games, all columns are same width, but some contain only a number, others a long string (especially the one with enrolled players). One can manually adjust the widths so that one can see almost all, but when one exists and next time starts, they are back to default all same width.

Primary place which needs change is probably net.sf.colossus.webclient.GameTableModel.java and *.WebClient.java.

Solution ideas, one or several of the following:

1) for the player list,  make a "hover-over" popup text which displays the full content

2) save the selected widths to the webclient.cf file, e.g.
 
TableWidth=c1:20,c2:40,c3:12,c4:12,.....,c12:200

3) some kind of auto-width behavior?

4) An additional place where to display details (e.g content of one column per line, or some of them compat (min, targ, max nr of players) about the game which's row is selected in the table. This might be even more useful for the "Running Games Table (other tab). On the long run, probably there should be used two different GameTableModels for those two tables (currently same used for both) - the running games might have info like who is dead, who is watching (observer, spectator, ...), how when did game start / how long is game ongoing, ...). (Note that for some of the info information would be needed from the actual game process to the WebServer process, for which there is no mechanism in place right now. But that itself would be quite a big feature to implement).

Message:

All right, in principle doesn't look that difficult to fix the variant XML
data accordingly.

But we have to keep the compatibility issues in mind, what happens when we
install new version to server, but players use older Colossus versions
which contain old/different variant definitions. That might or might not go
well, depending on the case. I've created a bug report about that issue:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3590291&group_id=1939&atid=101939

I guess I will try to fix that first, and make a very minor bugfix release
asap to make it possible for users to have/use a client release that is in
that sense insensitive to "server has different variant XML data".

Summary: game option: fleeing creatures don't die

Initial Comment:
A cool game option we used back in the day is to return any creature that gives half points to the caretaker. The theory is that they they didn't die so should go back out into the world. The implementation would be simple but the change makes you think about the consequences of running. With this in place I've fled with a 7 high from a scooby-snack just to make recruits available for my titan's legion and conceded when I should have fled to deny a particular recruit to the other players. It also expands recruiting options as the game progresses.

So the click for Archangel must have got lost on client/GUI side. I have
only
a very speculative hypothesis how this could happen at all, and this will
probably be hard to reproduce.

I tuned the savegame file to redo that situation easily, and got both 
Archangel and Angel. So it seems to be at least not a systematic bug, 
which would happen always to everybody (would have surprised me).

Can you try out a few times whether same problem would happen to you?

I have attached the save game file. It's in the state where you only need
to 
click the engagement. I tweaked your score to be enough to get to 500 even
if
defender does not reinforce. 
Fastest way is probably: 
-Bring defender creatures to board, 
-bring yours to board, leave at least 2 offboard to have room for both
angels, 
-then let defender concede.

Double-clicking the jar file worked, thanks!

Comment By: Clemens Katzer (cleka)

Message:

Well if you use the jnlp file as above, it will nevertheless try to take
the jar file from the same webpage ( as said in "codebase=..." ) so that
won't make much difference. I can give instructions how to make an adjusted
one to run locally, but let's try other things first. (One possible reason
for failure I could imagine would be that there is a Java Web Start 6 but
JRE 7 or something. Just speculating. So let's try other ways first).

Have you tried the other ways described in the README file,
in the section:  "Getting the program to run" ? 

http://colossus.sourceforge.net/docs/README.html

Namely, simply double-clicking the jar file (that might cause later trouble
with running out of memory when using ExperimentalAI but at least should
start).

Or double clicking the "run.bat" file in the folder where you unpacked. For
that to work, the java/jre binary needs to be in the PATH.

Summary: can't start local hotseat game

Initial Comment:
Trying to run web start, select network client.  Just running single human with AI opponents.  When I try to start the game with network client, it tries to open a port at 127.0.0.1:26567, but fails  "Connection refused".  Running Win 7 ultimate.

Message:
When you want to play just local human(s) plus AIs, start the game with
"New Game".

The Network client is only needed for the case that somebody else is
hosting the game on his computer and you want your Colossus to be just a
client. 

Giving 127.0.0.1 and the port would indicate, that on your own computer one
(some other than the one you are in) game instance is expecting a network
(=remote) client to connect. 


Admittedly the arrangement of the buttons is rather uninituitive :-(

Message:
Hm, what does "can't fight" precisely mean? What happens if you click
"Don't flee" ?
If you get an empty battle board, it's probably the known problem that
current released version of Colossus does not run with Java 7.

Can you try to run the "public test build" which contains already the
bugfix:

  http://colossus.sourceforge.net/

   Upper right corner, in the line: 
       Public Testing Build from r5033: Play (Java Webstart) Recent Changes
Details document Zip file

click on the "Play (Java Webstart)" and let me know does that work; or what
in particular is the symptom why "you can't fight".

If the problem persists, please provide also all the info Colossus displays
under "Help" -> "About", and what computer and operating system you use
(e.g.  "Windows XP" or "Linux Ubuntu...").

Thanks!
-Clemens

Summary: Registration failed (NULL reply from server)

Initial Comment:
Trying to register on "play-colossus.net", when I enter my info I get the error message "Registration failed (NULL reply from server)".   I do get an email with a confirmation code, but never get a box to put it in?  Tried several times.

Could you try whether this still happens with 0.12.0 ?

Try name and see what happens.

Please let me know whether there was trouble or not, and which user you
created, then I can delete it again.

Thx & BR,

Tried again, this time it gave me the box to put in the registration code,
which I did.  Then I got the same error again and then prompted me for the
code again...

However, I just tried to log in and it appears to have succeeded as I can
log in.   Still getting the error, but at least it works...

Uh. I thought I had fixed that. But sure enough, it happened to me now as
well several times.

This is a "timing" related problem; and as I see now from code I fixed it
for login but not for registration case. After I fixed it (and installed
new jar file on server), registration now works for me.

Can you please retry?

BR,
Clemens

Summary: Unable to launch the application

Initial Comment:
When I try to start Colossus, I get the message "Unable to launch the application".  I have tried both downloading the file (0.13.2) and running it directly in Java Web Start.  I previously installed jre-7u6-windows-x64.exe from the Oracle website.  I have also tried both public testing versions and gotten the same error.

Not sure if I am properly logged in on this forum, but I can be reached at szwanger (at) gmail.com.

Message:

Well if you use the jnlp file as above, it will nevertheless try to take
the jar file from the same webpage ( as said in "codebase=..." ) so that
won't make much difference. I can give instructions how to make an adjusted
one to run locally, but let's try other things first. (One possible reason
for failure I could imagine would be that there is a Java Web Start 6 but
JRE 7 or something. Just speculating. So let's try other ways first).

Have you tried the other ways described in the README file,
in the section:  "Getting the program to run" ? 

http://colossus.sourceforge.net/docs/README.html

Namely, simply double-clicking the jar file (that might cause later trouble
with running out of memory when using ExperimentalAI but at least should
start).

Or double clicking the "run.bat" file in the folder where you unpacked. For
that to work, the java/jre binary needs to be in the PATH.
