Re: "Ghost moves"

I wonder if maybe they are moves whose animations were queued up during the AI's turn, and are only just being displayed because of the accumulated animation time from all the units moving was longer than the AI's turn calculations?

Re: Hal Saflieni Hypogeum (small wonder)

My only complaint about the wonder is the use of non-latin characters in its name. We don't call the Colossus "Κολοσσός", do we? Seriously, the first time I played with it, I thought I had some sort of strange graphical glitch of a font file had gotten corrupted. And the worst part: Do you...

Re: Ministry of Propaganda or Ministry of Education

This is not a design decision made by Freeciv. The standard ruleset in Freeciv is a copy of Civilization 2, a game that came out 25 years ago. I believe the rationale was that historically, the Women's Suffrage movement in the US tied themselves to patriotic support of the war effort in WW1 in order...

Re: Make a Tileset from Scratch?

I'm now attempting to make a custom .tilespec file myself, using README.graphics as my guide. I'm currently in the process of figuring out how much of the file has to be defined before Freeciv will actually recognize it as a tileset. I hope soon I will graduate to "Actually get error messages&q...

Re: Make a Tileset from Scratch?

Maybe it would be best to give your tileset as commandline option, and enabled sufficient level of logging so you see the problems right on when client is launching without need to play with the gui. Assuming you are using gtk3.22-client, something like: freeciv-gtk3.22 -t mytileset -d 2 Ah, thanks...

Re: Make a Tileset from Scratch?

I just attempted a practice conversion of my RoundSquare tileset from 2.5 to 2.6, and a single misconfigured file caused Freeciv to crash as soon as I even attempted to open the "Local Client" options. Not even trying to select a tileset, simply attempting to open "Local Client" ...

Re: Make a Tileset from Scratch?

Read your friendly... hmmm... C code ... well, not so friendly. Actually, most standard features are best documented in comments of the standard tilesets. Some basics are here but it's highly likely some parts are deprecated for 2.6. Yeah, it was looking over that that made me post my question here...

Make a Tileset from Scratch?

I'm interested in trying to make a Freeciv tileset from the ground up, with all of the files and artwork (except maybe the units) created by me. (Yes I know it's a monumental task.) My previous attempts have been me just taking somebody else's tileset and then just modifying or replacing the graphic...

Re: RoundSquare tileset

Worked more on ships. -Added a graphic for the Barge, from a slightly modified "Paddle Steamer" graphic from XYZ's extended Trident set. -Refined the Flagship Frigate graphic. -Added a new ship graphic for the "Square Rigged Caravel". Modified from a graphic in XYZ's extended Tri...
