The new forum page is up and running, for all new needs go overthere --> http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1046349-unofficial-catacomb-snatch-patch-continued-github/

Hello,
I added some changes to my code from your code (i copy and pasted some parts of yours) and now i got some errors :s
I cant know how to fix those but maybe someone can help me :x

The Errors:
Description Resource Path Location Type
mouseButtons cannot be resolved Player.java /mojam/src/com/mojang/mojam/entity line 138 Java Problem
mouseButtons cannot be resolved Player.java /mojam/src/com/mojang/mojam/entity line 235 Java Problem
mouseButtons cannot be resolved or is not a field Player.java /mojam/src/com/mojang/mojam/entity line 79 Java Problem
MouseButtons cannot be resolved to a type Player.java /mojam/src/com/mojang/mojam/entity line 76 Java Problem

And thats what i tried too add: b5a9c82
Of course i added MouseControl before, and the mousecontrol worked fine.

Youtube user "godleydemon" sent me a message that he made some gfx for upgraded turret buildings, I'm not at my work machine so I post here instead, maybe someone can add 'em realy quick :)

If left to idle, the game will continue to spawn mobs until the entire level is flooded. The game will begin to crawl at this point and become nearly unplayable. I propose adding a MAX_MOBS setting that is checked before spawning allowing more to spawn. It can be pretty big number, but it would be nice to have just for protection.

Also of note, I added a couple of helper methods to Level.java for traps that could be leveraged for this task. Its in the shotgun/traps pull request currently. :)

Its too big maybe delete the space seperators for the moment

I am working on adding scarabs, right now it is just code, but as soon as we get the scarab sprite, I will add that in too

I saw this game has Applet support built in, but how to use it? When i compile this i cant play the game via html (applet)

My HTML Code:
[applet archive="Catacomb-Snatch.jar" code="com.mojang.mojam.MojamApplet.class" width="1024" height="768"][/applet]

(I replaced < and > with [ and ] because of auto html formating)

Like title says.. need to look into this.

Allows players to work together.

In MP, the game says every 30 secondes that the other player died.

You should probably set a license like MIT (or a non-license ) to the project, to make things clear for all contributors.

Edit: Current state

At the moment we leave the license to CC-BY/NC/SA, then according to the an answer we get from Mojang (if we get one), we'll start the debate to choose between:

• Keeping CC-BY/NC/SA
• Loosen to CC-BY/SA
• Public domain

(Given what will be compatible with Mojang's licensing terms)

This may take some time, but it would pay off.

Why not make it so people can easily install mods for the game, sort of like Minecraft. This way, random mod-like additions won't make it into the main build.

Greetings!

Here are some buttons that I created, using the ingame font and artwork.

And I also made some custom buttons, please let me know if you need more buttons created.

I do however recommend that you get them from here (instead of saving them from this issue):

I probably shouldn't do this but i'm to angry, feel free to delete this issue
This is a skype conversation between me and TreeSkilled, I'm trying to tell him that it would be better if people post bug issues on github and download on github instead of using his confusing zip folders

Ok Tom, the things are going pretty well and MOJANG gave us the ability do distribute the jar's . So I was thinking you could maybe change the OP to something I fastly made . It's more organized + we kinda don't need the mediafire anymore because ppl are happy bcz the github's are very stable
20:58
I'll post my new OP so you can see it and maybe take it . Still need to make a to-do but I'd like to maintain the forums bcz I do not know code and I really like helping ppl . I also think we should stop 'fighting' and all work together like a dev. community
Tom 21:02
I AM NOT USING THE FUCKING GITHUB. From now I not using your code anymore
21:02
STOL telling people to go to the github.
21:03
You and Maescool may have done a lot but YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF THE THREAD.
21:03
Please cease telling people to go to the github immediatly
Yentl 21:03
DUDE THE DOWNLOAD LINK IS ON GITHUB BCZ YOU HAVE LIKE A VERSION OF 2 DAYS AGO , AND WHY ARE YOU BEING SO AGGRESSIVE
21:04

• If you think about it like that , I think github and the whole dev team should move to a new thread maybe, so you can go back to making 1 code line a day with your friend
  21:05
• I posted my OP in your thread you could maybe edit it over to the Real OP
  Tom 21:05
  Ok. Here is what I am fucking saying. Listen to me. Ok? You are not the boss. This is what will happen.
  Yentl 21:06
  I agree that I'm not the boss , I just want to maintain the thread bcz you haven't done fucking anything and I spent my whole fucking day helping ppl
  Tom 21:06
  I will continually update the game every 24 hours. I will use the github. I will credit the github in the OP, saying that is where the most updated version will be.
  21:07
  You will stop telling people to download from the github because it is more update
  21:07
  OF COURSE I DID LESS I'M IN ANOTHER FUXKJNG TIME ZONE
  Yentl 21:07
  You don't need to update when the newest stable recommended jar is on github anyway so why do you want to make a mediafire link so ppl can get confused . You have mind problems dude
  21:08
  Gesprek begonnen, geen antwoord

  Yentl 21:08
  It's 10PM the neighbours are asleep
  21:08
  dont want to wake them up bcz I AM GETTING FUCKING ANGRY HERE
  Tom 21:08
  I want to keep this like minecraft.
  21:08
  We do our regular update.
  21:08
  Then we have the snapshots. When people say they have a bug with the update
  21:09
  You tell them to make a bug report.
  21:09
  NOT TO DOWNLOAD THE SNAPSHOT
  Yentl 21:09
  look a dev team of 32 developers is working on bug fixes , they even are making a vanilla branch just for you and we're not bringing out any snapshot . We have a lot more but we only bring STABLE VERSIONS out !!!!!
  Tom 21:10
  Stop telling people to go to the github in the thread
  21:10
  I will say in the OP that it is the most updated version.
  Yentl 21:10
  so you have no single fucking reason to bring out any mediafire links who will be behind anyway
  Tom 21:10
  Yea I hbe several
  Yentl 21:10
  SO YOU WILL CONFUSE PEOPLE ? YOU'RE KINDA SUCK MY FRIEND
  Tom 21:11
  Shut the fuck up. Stop telling people to go to the github in the thread, or I will report you to the mods for resistributing copyrighted jar files.
  Yentl 21:11
  Ok so you're trying to confuse ppl . By the way I'm going to copy this in the thread because I want people to know what you're trying to do with them
  Tom 21:11
  Sony.
  21:11
  Don't sorry autocorrent
  21:11
  Don't. I want my thread my way without you ruining it.
  Yentl 21:11
• The mods won't do anything bcz Notch allowed us to bring out jar files !
  Tom 21:11
  There is a reason the mods deleted it
  21:12
  Ok then. He didn't but whatever
  Yentl 21:12
  The mods deleted it bcz they were trying to make 1 big thread
  21:12
  I asked them to bring back our thread bcz it's rly good
  Tom 21:12
  Just help people by telling them to make bug reports.
  Yentl 21:12
  Now that I'm thinking about it : I shouldn't have done so much work
  Tom 21:12
  Yes you shouldn't have.
  Yentl 21:13
  AND YOU EXPECT DEVS TO READ 15 PAGES OF TEXT TO FIND BUGS WHILE THEY CAN USE GITHUB ? YOU'RE SO STUPID

I'm not a dev so that's why I wanted to help ppl instead of coding

I don't know why. But every time i download the .jar file from https://github.com/Maescool/Catacomb-Snatch/downloads (the top one) it is downloaded as a .zip file. I can't run it. Not even if i chose "run with" "java platform SE Binary" Can any one help?

FIXED

it would be nice to have an in-game shop (in the menu) to buy power-ups, level-ups or more buildings with the money you got when you finished a game. That would also make the gameplay a bit more interesting because you first have to win a game to buy new stuff rather than just upgrade it when you have the money for it.

What do you think about it? Any edits or suggestions?

I think when you upgrade a turret , it's health should raise a bit. Just so they're a little stronger

I'm not sure how to use github, but I'd still like to help work on this project, so someone would have to explain to me how github works
I didn't spend much time working on the code, but what I did is I fixed the harvester bug and the other player getting the score, but I also found a bug with it, which was that the player at the top of the screen wasn't getting any score, I undid my changes and the player still wasn't getting any (I ran the game twice and hosted with one and joined with the other)

When you try to play level2 it crashes the game. You should delete the level since it's the same as AsymeTrical.
I can know it bcz I made the levels :)

(Couldn't find it in the issue list, I think it's useful to have an issue for it :-)).

My quick'n'dirty suggestion: make Level, Entity, ... implement Serializable and use Java serialization for load/save. Usually this is frowned up (slow, big files, very version sensitive), but is a simple way to add the functionality I, at least, am missing the most.

Quite busy atm, may pick this up tomorrow.

Its much better than using the space bar imo. You can get the source here http://code.google.com/p/catacomb-snatch-reloaded/

I think that the selection screen should be improved. It should be buttons instead of just a list.
And some of the map names should also be improved because I think some of the names can be misleading of what the map really look like.

I'm not sure but I don't think this is intended.

PS: How do I label issues?

Hey
I just made a Instruction/Manual sheet for the game.
Its 800x600p big hope you like it.
You can download it here http://www.mediafire.com/?k8ub1fxdc9i2kl8

The player needs to be able to change the keys he uses for basic actions.

Artificial Intelligence opponent to make the game more interesting, so you have to get to the Treasure faster!

I made a little pause text logo for a pause screen.
I think it should be really simple - the screen is dimmed down with a black (that you still see the actual scene) and the logo is (like in the gameover screen) placed at the top. The buttons for it can be continue, save, load, options and exit.

What do you guys think?

link to the logo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39618400/pause.png

oh and yeah: i am a graphic artist, i can draw any resources you need, so feel free to contact me ;)

Add an options menu where you can change various options like music volume/mute etc.. people can fill in here ;)

If youre playing in Multiplayer as "Herr von Speck" you don't get any points/percent of the bots, because they can't unload the treasure...

I'm trying to compile the source into a jar, but I'm getting a grey/white screen when opening the JAR:

Turrets try to shoot at entities through the walls, should not do that!

I presented Borsty with some GFX's for the turret upgrades yesterday, and I offer my limited ability in pixel creation to the rest of the project. I'm not a very good programmer really, so this is what I can offer >.o for those interested here are the GFX's that I gave Borsty that have already been added to the project ^^

turret lvl 3: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/godley_demon/turret3.png

Even very simple one would be very good!

Here is a suggestion from a post I made on the MCForums thread:

My advice would be two make 2 builds (= Git branches):

• 'vanilla': One that would try to only polish Mojang's code (= only nicer menus, bug fixes, etc.)
• 'master': The one with lots of new features to make the game really feel finished

It would actually be best to finish the first one first, but it might be annoying since most contributors probably just want to have fun adding new features. So I'd say it's best to maintain two versions, with every commit from 'vanilla' being merged to 'master'.

PS: What about using Github's labels instead of [feature/bug/...] tags?

Show it near the FPS. If the player is host, it will show ping of your opponent player, and vice versa.

Like jeb said in this post:
Forumpost
There is no dynamic lag compensation for multiplayer.
This means: if the ping times between the gamers is big, the game will start to do funny things..

Will be some work.. but i have no experience in this matter.

I've got another idea, that could be added:
When youre holding a turret/Harvester it shows the radius of how far the harvester/turret can pick/shoot things.

That would be cool

It can lead to weird things like this:

You will shoot trough a spawner if you walk into it from the bottom

I have notebook and pc. On PC game looks pretty good, but on notebook I can't see all that below words 'HERR VON SPECK: 0%'. I try to learn java and may be make commit soon) But it would be cool if someone help me and other users who have screen 17"=<

I am refactoring how weapons are used, to make it easier to add new weapons.

Is it an idea to discuss new gameplay ideas on the forums? http://catacombsnatch.info/forum/index.php
That way more people then just the active developers can join in (and maby come up with ideas of their own). This will also prevent people creating things that might not make it in.

The forums are also a better place for large discussion (as is now happening with an upgrade shop). And we can use the issue tracker for.. issues.

I added the game controls to the title screen but im not sure how to commit an image so I will post it here instead.

Should be pretty simple, but maybe adding a version number on the main screen so people know which is which?

Since tooskilled was so awesome to delete the topic here is the new one I'll maintain it now

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1045928-catacomb-snatch-github-unofficial-catacomb-snatch-patch-continued/

I'm working on putting all the in-game text in a .properties file in the res folder. I have a fully functioning system, that makes it possible to add different .properties files for any number of languages/locales. It is a pure refactoring, based on Java's ResourceBundle and MessageFormat.

I need to add javadoc for the new class and methods before I can push it.
I'm also going to add a functioning fallback system, so that you can have half-done translations.

It would also be good to add more characters to the font-system, as the current system can't display characters like åäö.

There are interesting commits like there:

• Turret checks LoS before shooting
• HostWaitMenu now displays your IP
  and other bug fixes

OK guys , we have a situation on the minecraftforums
Click this link to see what TooSkilled, the original maker of the thread that we are developing did to our reputations

--> http://imgur.com/0C1mu

He called our work : buggy, unmodified github version. While he didn't do anything himself

He put this poll on top of the getting more and more popular thread we all use to post our builds.
We were put on the main page of minecraftforum.net to let this happen ? I don't really think so!

But how can we fix this ? Making a new thread ? Telling moderators ?

Hello. I do not know how to work GIT very well, and will need some help via skype IM or something. I do know enough to make a clone of a repo, and so i did.
Changes I have made:

• Added support for levels outside of the jar (for custom maps)
• Adding multiple font support
• Added multiline font rendering
• Added Error Menu

After I finish tinkering with the interface, the next step will hopefully be sending custom maps via- multiplayer.
My skype name is "yofreke", hope to hear from someone soon!
