Hello dear users,

 

I've a small question for you regarding the future of my vanilla project.

 

FreeBSD has the well-known compiler "gcc" installed by default (only after 10.0-RELEASE it's gone).

YMIR developed and compiled the source on this default gcc-version. It's the 4.2 version.

But wait, why is it so old? We have 4.8 and currently developing 4.9!

 

It's all about the license. gcc used to have the GNU GPL v2 license. But since 4.3 it's changed to GNU GPL v3. FreeBSD didn't want to adapt to these new license agreements so that's why they decided to go with 4.2 anyway. It's now clearly deprecated (that's why in 10.0 it's changed to clang compiler).

 

Why do I tell you all these information?

Because it's an imporant fact for the question I'm going to ask. gcc made some great improvements during the development. There is a huge performance boost and boost on file size from 4.2 to 4.8. I've managed to compile it with your help on 4.8. Now it's about 42mb big unstriped.

 

So what do we have for the future vanilla versions?

Better performance, more stability and code optimizations and even a smaller file size!

 

But there's also a bad site about this. I told you FreeBSD isn't updating gcc higher than 4.2 - which clearly indicates the problem. 4.8 or even 4.9 uses newer libraries (for example libstdc++.so.6)

These newer libraries can only be achieved by installing the newer gcc version and adding them to /etc/libmap.conf

It's very easy and I'd write a small guide (you just have to install and then copy'n'paste one list).

 

But since I stated earlier that I want to make vanilla more compatible with every system it's now a fact that with this new big feature we're creating a dependency on the new gcc version.

 

So what's your point about it?

What do you prefer? Having the old compiling methods with no need to install a newer gcc or do you prefer a much faster binary but with the need to install it?

 

And another question: Do you prefer 4.8 or the newer 4.9 which is currently under development (4.9 COULD have some stability bugs but I didn't monitor any problems like that, compiling worked without any problem too) but a little bit faster (and in the future when it'll be released it'll outclass 4.8)?

You're right. I'll try that since on 64 bit system it won't be that easy.

Using the -rpath Linker-Option you can force the loader to search one of your custom library-paths first, allowing you to leave libmap.conf / ldconfig unchanged.
The user just needs to place all custom libraries into this directory, which shouldn't be too hard.

Example:
(Obviously I use /usr/local/lib32/metin2 for my libraries)

[...] -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib32/metin2

Kind Regards,
Tim

it's working and it's stable. Compiled with gcc4.9 for testing purpose.

I'll make a difference list and then choose with you what version to use. Then it'll be released.

 

Oh, and I forgot: In the new version you can use more attributes on your skills (e. g. you can enhance your attributues like str, con, int and dex with your skills..)

New libs will be included from more than one source. The main source is now /usr/local/lib32/metin2 as Tim mentioned in a post earlier. I've used his suggestion so it won't be a problem anymore. You don't need to install devil or any other software anymore, I'll provide every lib within my package.

Have you add the -rpath to your CFLAGS or on an other point?

 

I have the big problem that when I want to use my gamefile on an other root they dont work.

I use this vm http://metin2dev.org/board/topic/389-not-really-a-rlsvm-with-freebsd-92-src-compileable/

When I compile it on this all works fine with gcc48 but on other Roots/VM they not work because the missing libs, but the libs are on the other root too.

 

That is the reaseon why I want to build the gamefile with specific lib path.

 

I hope you understand what I meens ^^

      BUG SAFEBOX disappear stacks ..

      You said if you close the safebox and open it again, you'll have the last item put in that place. I'm a bit confused, so help me out a little. When the item disappears, can you put another item in its place? If you CAN'T(which should be expected), does your stack appear back after you close and open the safebox again? If you CAN(which you shouldn't be able to, because that slot SHOULD be marked as NOT empty), what do you get left in the safebox when opening and closing it again? The items that disappeared or the new item that you put in their place after they disappeared? Your problem is coming from somewhere else, I don't see why your little stacking thingy would break the safebox. Also, you have logs, see what the logs say when an item disappears and just trace that shit down.. ez

      Need some help with effect slot on pickup system

      @BadGrecee don't worry about it, he probably fucked up some tabs(as usual) or pasted that function outside of InventoryWindow(the benefits of not bothering to even learn the basics of Python). @Tuckii please search "def HighlightSlot" in uiInventory.py, then fix the damn tabs/spaces. If you really don't have that function(which I doubt), then here, extend "class InventoryWindow(ui.ScriptWindow):" with these methods: if app.WJ_ENABLE_PICKUP_ITEM_EFFECT: def HighlightSlot(self, slot): if slot>player.INVENTORY_PAGE_SIZE*player.INVENTORY_PAGE_COUNT: return if not slot in self.listHighlightedSlot: self.listHighlightedSlot.append (slot) def DelHighlightSlot(self, inventorylocalslot): if inventorylocalslot in self.listHighlightedSlot: if inventorylocalslot >= player.INVENTORY_PAGE_SIZE: self.wndItem.DeactivateSlot(inventorylocalslot-player.INVENTORY_PAGE_SIZE) else: self.wndItem.DeactivateSlot(inventorylocalslot) self.listHighlightedSlot.remove(inventorylocalslot)

      I don't have the system, but I'm pretty sure it sends the pet's data through some packet. You could add that stuff in the packet as well, pass it down to the window and show it to your users.

      Error no member named SetcCreateTime in Citem

      To declare a method you just have to add its return type and name in the corresponding class body. ex: class CItem { public: // access void someMethod(); // your method's declaration } Defining it: void CItem::someMethod() { // do work } Also, you should probably try using Google before asking about shit like this.
