Looks like a great version of Gods.

rattus · 19 February 2009, 04:25

This remake is kickin' rad. Thumbs up jotd, you obviously put a lot of care into this project.

MadWasp · 20 February 2009, 21:11

Another beta upgrade another BIG Thank U!

jotd · 20 February 2009, 21:21

thanks everyone. It's still beta because I haven't completed my level 4 yet (plus a lot of other annoyances) but apart from that it's pretty complete

spaeR · 21 February 2009, 01:19

Nice work Jotd! THX!

hit · 21 February 2009, 15:06

the shell script is missing a statement (gods.game.GodsGame):

Code:

java -Djava.library.path="$GODS_ROOT_DIR/bin" -classpath "$GODS_ROOT_DIR/bin" -DROOT_DIR="$GODS_ROOT_DIR" -Xmx$HEAP_SIZE  gods.game.GodsGame $*

otherwise java binary just spits aout its help page. now i gonna test it

Edit#2: now i found the gods.sh. so the above was my bad :/
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: maybe its related to the above addition. game starts, loading first level, little hero appears, just one move to right, monster spawn animation starts (left side of the hero), then freezing:

Code:

there is another issue before loading first level:

OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode)

thats the runtime which comes with fedora, should i try the one from sun?

jotd · 21 February 2009, 17:28

Seems that you're missing the sound files. Do you have a "sound" directory?

BTW I just added checks so the game can run without sounds if some are missing.

hit · 21 February 2009, 18:22

yes, all sounds are there. have also installed the extra music. chown and chmod recursivly the folder (just in case). +x`ed the two .sh scripts and start ./gods.sh within the "Gods" folder.
i've d/led latest jre from sun, they offer now r12. but more or less the same issue:

the first sound on level 1 gets played, then freeze. but title music plays on mainscreen, before starting level 1.

Edit: using "-verbose" on the java binary doesnt give any more usefull info. i'm missing snoopdos

jotd · 21 February 2009, 20:44

Ok, I don't know about your problem, but I think the .wav files are not playable by your end...
It's not an uppercase/lowercase problems (common in Windows) since I was very careful about it.

I have uploaded another v0.6 only for this problem. You won't have the sound, but the game will work (tell me if you hear game start/game over/level complete sounds as they're mp3's). Well, it will be better than nothing...

I know that some people ran it successfully on Linux (but which one?). Should run on MacOSX too.

Do you have a Windows PC somewhere to try it?

hit · 21 February 2009, 22:24

i've a win & mac machine too. will try both.
but where did you uploaded the diffrent version?

jotd · 21 February 2009, 22:37

just overwritten v0.6 with the new archive. Did not bump the version number.

ah, ok. will try a in a minute. just reporting what i've tested:
trouble on Mac OSX 10.5, spit out an exception:

Code:

Shared archive: sharing disabled for server vm
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:675)
        at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124)

the version of java on this mac:

Code:

Shared archive: sharing disabled for server vm
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-b06-284)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-133, mixed mode)

well, apple & java is offten a problem. so dont bother with that

runs fine on Vista 32 bit.

really nice. was a very addictive game, back in the days. and it's still cool. good work, respect

now i test the new on on the linux box

Edit: you change something in gods.sh: "$GODS_ROOT_DIR"/scripts/gods_loader.sh gods.game.GodsGame $*
before it was ""$GODS_ROOT_DIR"/gods_loader.sh gods.game.GodsGame $*"

Edit2: now its working. sounds play when i collect items, if items fall from the air, if te hero dies and when the hero respawn. no sound when jumping or use weapon. but good to have it working. thanks

Qube · 22 February 2009, 00:28

Another fine release jotd!

One thing, you specified scripts/.. in your batch files, which break the loading, so that needs fixing, or the scripts moved into a new scripts/ subfolder I guess.

The demo level was cool to blast through again, just awaiting your 4th level now. Keep up the good work!

Great stuff as always,

Q;

jotd · 22 February 2009, 14:30

@Qube: argh! "scripts" directory was not delivered by my delivery script. Now fixed (overwrote the 0.6 version a second time grrrrr). Thanks for noticing!!
BTW, in the demo level, if you know when the "clever bonus" does appear (in the teleport room) and when it does not, please tell me. Sometimes I get it sometimes I don't and I dunno why.

@hit: the sound problem must be something with the internal WAV format. With your information, I should be able to fix the problem. Thanks.

About my level 4, I'm not doing that ATM. I'm trying to remake Cadaver instead. But it'll be done.

hit · 22 February 2009, 14:58

just downloaded latest and found two issues:
the .sh scripts, since the loader.sh is now in a subfolder, defining GODS_ROOT_DIR from "dirname $0", it cant find "gods.game.GodsGame":

Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gods/game/GodsGame
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gods.game.GodsGame              
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: gods.game.GodsGame.  Program will exit.

so i suggest, just use gods.sh in its current place:

Code:

#!/bin/sh


HEAP_SIZE=100m

if [ "$1" = "-h" ] ; then
   echo "Options: "
   echo "  -no-intro: skips introduction"
   echo "  -full-screen: full screen display"
   exit
fi

PROGDIR=`dirname "$0"`
GODS_ROOT_DIR=$(cd "$PROGDIR";pwd)

java -Djava.library.path="$GODS_ROOT_DIR/bin" -classpath "$GODS_ROOT_DIR/bin" -DROOT_DIR="$GODS_ROOT_DIR" -Xmx$HEAP_SIZE gods.game.GodsGame $*

2. one sound makes freezing the game. the one when you collect a "heart"-symbol (full enery ?!). gives this exception:

Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

0.6a on the site. Fixing both problems. Sorry for the non-testing but I have very little time today.
BTW the class version problem you encountered on Mac OSX 10.5 is because you're running JRE 1.5, whereas 1.6 is required.
