Running freeciv 2.4 r23624 under Linux, got a problem:

Code: Select all

2: Loading tileset "netileset".
1: in ensure_color() [colors_common.c::88]: assertion 'rgb != ((void *)0)' failed.
1: Please report this message at http://gna.org/projects/freeciv/
1: in create_plr_sprite() [tilespec.c::1985]: assertion 'pcolor != ((void *)0)' failed.
1: Please report this message at http://gna.org/projects/freeciv/
Is it a problem in tileset, my freeciv build or client fails to find the tileset? (The question is more likely for freeciv devs, I presume.)

The mod was mostly done in ubuntu and almost all testing was done there, so it is kind of weird that it does not work on your linux. What distro are you using? Did you check the file permissions, sometimes the files are not copied properly.

I got the plrcolor assertions when client was launched with default tileset and I accepted suggestion to switch to netileset. When I had launched the client with "-t netileset" commandline option, it worked.

Further: I seem to be able to reproduce the problem only when connecting to separately launched server.

There is a new version of the mod on the first page of this thread:

CHANGES:
Fixed shadows for units
Replaced Writing for Paper (paper was earliest invented 2nd century B.C.)
Added tech requirement for Workers
Added one more worker from game start
Reduced sciencebox to 80 (you can always change that before starting a game)

New chariot (with archers):

New unit - ancient cavalry:

The design is based loosely on Macedonian cavalry from the Alexander era.

And here is what is done until now:

Some are unchanged, like catapult, elephant, swordsman, workers and trireme.
I still need to do a quinquereme, diplomat and a trade ship (junk ship).

I have been developing and researching the tech tree for the ancient era and so far i have 36 techs, 28 buildings, 16 wonders and 15 units. The overview in a "brainstorm" format is at the following link:

The gfx will take a while as there are many things to do.
