netpanzer's Introduction

NetPanzer

Open Source RTS

Introduction

NetPanzer is an online multiplayer tactical warfare game designed for FAST ACTION combat. Gameplay concentrates on the core - no resource management is needed. The game is based on quick tactical action and unit management in real-time. Battles progress quickly and constantly as destroyed players respawn with a set of new units. Players can join or leave multiplayer games at any time.

20+ Years of Development

The original development of NetPanzer was done from PyroSoft inc. In 1999 they stopped development and released the game 2002 in GPL and it was nearly forgotten, until Ingo announced it at happypenguin.org. Soon after this announcement a group of coders did the linux port in roughly 2 weeks, with another 2 weeks polishing for the first release. Since then development has picked up and slowed down, with various different teams and maintainers. The current maintainer of the game and masterserver is "winrid" on GitHub.

To Play

Go to the Releases tab in GitHub and download the version for your OS. The version in Linux repos as of 2024 is very (8+yrs) old, so we suggest simply downloading the latest release directly.

Note: If you only are able to get v0.8.7 from your distribution, change the 'server.masterservers' value in your client.cfg and server.cfg to

server.masterservers = "netpanzer.io"

One we release our next official version, this will be done automatically and the newer version will be more accessible to you.

Latest Download

You can download the latest version here.

Weekly Linux AppImage is available here.

Note that the current RC version is considered unstable, however we are quickly approaching the 0.9.0 release and need your feedback and testing! All current servers (as of 2024) are running this version, so this is what you want if you want to play on a public server.

Contributing and Reporting Bugs

See CONTRIBUTING.md

Gameplay

An extensive list of commands is available in the Help section of NetPanzer binary, together with some useful tips and guides.

The same list is available while in game too - just press F1 key.

Dedicated Server and Configuration Files

See SERVER-HOWTO.md

Building NetPanzer

See BUILD.md

Music

Netpanzer doesn't come with own musicfiles yet. However, you can place your favourite .mp3, .ogg or .mod files into the sound/music directory and netpanzer will play these in random order while you play.

Contact

Discord

It's important to remember that any discussions about bugs or desired features in a chat room usually scroll away and become forgotten, so it's best to create a ticket or discussion on GitHub (mentioned above) if you really want a bug fix or new feature.

netpanzer's Issues

Break apart README

I think the README is a bit long. Ok if I start breaking it up by moving the server info to docs/SERVER.md

Config file doesn't get created anymore

The game doesn't create a config file anymore. I removed my old '~/.netpanzer' directory a few days ago, and notice there's now nothing in the ~/.netpanzer/config directory (which did get created automatically), even though I've run the game several times.

Cache + Cleanup Generated Font Surfaces

as title says.

Autoformat code in the CI when submitting code changes

@winrid suggested that code should be autoformatted by the CI when changes are submitted in PRs. An example of how to do that is in a widelands workflow file.

Lock Config File While Server is Running

Helps reduce confusion of "why isn't my change being picked up"?

Add Windows workflow to the CI

I found one example

https://github.com/particl/particl-core/blob/34c50db792c8423a8c88dc27e7372ac4fdb94216/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L73

Ability to Run Bots Easily

Today bots have to be ran as their own instance of the server, which greatly complicates setup.

Add installation of docs and icons to meson build

Once added, these can be installed with ninja install

Convert Player (Tab Key) Table to Actual Table Layout

The current table UI is hard to improve because it's just a hundred magic numbers and sprintf strings with tabs/spaces to align things.

Someone should rewrite this UI and write a nice little Table component.

Support for TTF Fonts

Added for historical record. This is done (mostly, only monospace fonts supported atm).

Server name is displayed as the value from player.name field in config

InfoSocket::InfoSocket(int p) : socket(nullptr)
{
    Address addr = Address::resolve( *GameConfig::server_bindaddress, p, false, true);
    socket = new network::UDPSocket(addr,this);

    // These parameters are fixed always
    // others I plan to be modifiable while game is running.
    std::stringstream s;
    s << "gamename\\netpanzer\\protocol\\" << NETPANZER_PROTOCOL_VERSION
      << "\\hostname\\" << *GameConfig::player_name
      << "\\gameversion\\" << Package::GetVersion();

Convert to SDL2

Adding issue for historical record. This is done.

Add Windows build to meson

I think me and @winrid are going to be doing this.

@eli-schwartz gave some tips here:

#46 (review)

WASM Build

Need to get WASM build working with Meson so I can put the game up on Netpanzer.io so you can play in-browser.

I will setup a build pipeline to publish the latest version when master is updated (handled in external build system ATM, I have this already).

So really just need to test and make code changes to get WASM working.

Add skip rules to .cirrus.yml

Example at https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/3378d2bd0931433999ef4c0ca95040c394146484/.cirrus.yml#L30 and https://cirrus-ci.org/guide/writing-tasks/

Slow, jerky movement when in full-screen, scrolling to the left

When in full-screen, and I move the mouse to the left, the movement is very slow and jerky.

Anti Cheat Too Sensitive

UI Component Library

Switch to a nice library of third party components for UI inputs, buttons, tables, etc.

Menu freezes in some cases when in full-screen at options menu

Version: c54b039
OS: Manjaro

The mouse left trails, and clicking on "Exit" did nothing. Alt-Enter does nothing. I can get back to my desktop with Alt-tab.

I don't know how to reproduce this yet.

Build Pipeline

Once dev is merged into master, we should work on having an automatic build pipeline for windows and linux.

Add Issue Template

It might be useful to add an issue template that prompts the user to enter info that's needed to report bugs, such as

Windowing system (x11, wayland, other)
Desktop
OS
SDL version

Along with instructions for running utilities that output info about their video hardware.

Convert README to Markdown

Most projects use Markdown these days. It will also allow us to make it easier to read.

Implement map ping

There should be a way to ping a location on the map, to make it "flare" briefly so that only your teammates can see.

Redo Bot AI

Someone should look into improving some things about bots:

Bot turrets don't need to turn to shoot at you. They can do the equivalent of an immediate 180 in an FPS game.
Bots could be more human-like. This could be a fun project.

Community/Discord Notifications

Assuming at some point there could be a "netpanzer discord" chat server, we could have a discord integration that posts to a chat room saying when someone joins a game.

The game itself would not be tied directly to Discord, but the server could support a configurable "notifications" endpoint to send events to, which could be used to build these kinds of things.

Using scons with the datadir option is broken

This will be fixed if I can get #71 working.

Using the datadir option with meson is being worked on in #71. It's supposed to already work scons, as is mentioned in the README.

On the master branch, it seems netpanzer can't find the datadir when built with scons:

scons -j 4 datadir=$HOME/.local/share/netpanzer

mkdir ~/.local/share/netpanzer

cp -a {cache,fonts,maps,pics,powerups,scripts,sound,wads} ~/.local/share/netpanzer

cp netpanzer ~/.local/bin

cd ~/.local/bin

Linux arm64 Dockerfile not completing build due to linuxdeploy exec failure

I asked about the problem: linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy#175

I'll await an answer if I don't think of any more possible solutions.

Ability to Use All Maps Easily

Today when running a server you have to manually list all installed maps. Should just provide an all option.

Quick Clicking is Not Blocked by Anti Cheat

In an isolated match, a player friend tested a cheat, succeeding without being kicked from the server.

Add documentation for compiling with meson

@winrid Would you like me to do this before the next release?

Refactor code that finds the datadir

This should fix #58 and the problem mentioned with the appimage in #60

Something like this might be useful

Ultimate goal:

Absolute paths ok, but no hard-coded paths
If getenv(APPDIR) != NULL, prepend $APPDIR to datadir
if getenv(NETPANZER_DATADIR) != NULL, use it (can be either a relative or absolute path)
implement --datadir cli option for netpanzer binary

TBH, I'm not sure yet if number 3 is really needed. Though probably easy to implement after the rest is done.

Many indirect leaks are visible when address sanitizer is used

After compiling with -fsanitize=address,undefined and fixing #66 , after successfully joining a game, I see many errors about leaks.

Log attached

Narrow down deps used when tests are compiled

netpanzer/tests/meson.build

Line 12 in fd82985

dependencies : deps,

Each binary will be linking to all the standard NP deps.

We'll probably need separate loops depending on the dependencies. Some tests will only need to link to lua, some to SDL2 and its friends, and some to none at all, like the package one that exists there now.

Using del or backspace when editing name field leads to memory overlap

I recompiled 0.9.0-RC6 with -fsanitize=address,undefined

To Reproduce

I clicked "Join" and then clicked in the field several times, then typed a few characters and pressed the 'del' key

Output was

NodeJS MasterServer Server Library

We need a server-side library for NodeJS that allows getting the server list.

Create new Repo: api-clients
Create new NodeJS Library

We can create clients for other languages in the future, like PHP. Node is picked here as an upcoming site will be in NodeJS, and also our Discord bot will be too.

Remove a few lines from the credits screen and fix URL

Ok if I do some work on the Credits screen?

netpanzer/src/NetPanzer/Views/MainMenu/CreditsScrollView.cpp

Lines 40 to 60 in eadcbc5

 // Is having the game description here really necessary? And isn't 

 // the version info already available at the main menu? 

 char line[512]; 

 insert(""); 

 snprintf (line, sizeof line, " This is %s v. %s, a massively multiplayer", Package::GetName().c_str(), Package::GetVersion().c_str()); 

 insert(line); 

 insert(" tank battle game."); 

 insert(""); 

 insert(" This application is free software under the terms of the"); 

 insert(" Gnu General Public license (GPL). See the COPYING file for details."); 

 insert(""); 

 insert(" Source and binaries at: http://netpanzer.sourceforge.net/"); 

 insert(""); 

 insert(" Please visit www.NETPANZER.info"); 

 insert(" - for binaries, maps, flags, related tools and news"); 

 insert(" - and don't forget to register your nickname for the ranking"); 

 insert(""); 

 insert(" Current Development Team"); 

 insert(" - Devon Winrick (winrid)"); 

 insert(" - Fulvio Testi (fu)"); 

 insert("");

The URL is still SourceForge.

I'd like to remove the description and version because it seems like it's not necessary (goal is to reduce code maintenance). I feel that if someone is looking at the credits screen, they've already read the game description somewhere else.

As for the URL, should I make a Package::GetUrl function?

Change main menu

Discussed in #96

^{Originally posted by andy5995 January 10, 2024}
I'm not fond of this bright red screen. Are there plans for this screen? Like an image? Or can we reduce the brightness of that REDness?

Remove References to SVN in SConstruct

The build step checked svn to get the current commit to append to the version number.
We should switch to Git.

Windows Build

Get compiling Windows build working to distribute 0.9.0-RC binary since people are asking to play. Does not require build flow for this task, just get manual build working first.

Bugs reported

Release 0.9.0-RC-5

Operational System: Windows 10 Pro

1º When changing the resolution, the mouse sometimes no longer moves, having to close the game and open it again.

2º In the chat, the alignment of the player's flag and the text are not aligned.

3º Blurry letters.
