Armagetron Forums

Here are some RPMs I built from rc 3. I built them on Gentoo and tested them on SuSE 9.1 Personal. They're gzipped so the forum accepts them, I know it does not make them smaller
They require libstdc++ version 5.
Edit: systems that use GCC 3.3 will have that version.

We decided ( OK, I suggested, klax supported the suggestion and Tank did not protest heavily enough ) to make the release process public so we get a bit of testing from the one or the other community member and can correct mistakes before we made the effort of a full release. The process goes as fol...

The bots (and people) can now often get out of the arena. GDB does it in particular. It's probably the same bug, the nasty thing is that the bots KNOW they can exploit it because their sensors are affected, too. I'll update the CVS test servers to the 0.2.7.1 branch for now. Do you know under what ...

Hehe. Actually, in upcoming 0.2.7.1, the way rubber lets you approach a wall has been made framerate-independent. Before, you were allowed to cut your distance to the wall in half. This sucks for the reasons you gave. Now, there is a configuration variable called CYCLE_RUBBER_SPEED. In a time T, you...

I think the output comes from the wincvs console window, it does some "decoration". The command cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/armagetronad checkout armagetronad itself looks good to me; why don't you try to enter it on the command line? All the CVS wrappers for Windows share...

Ah. Thanks for the concern, then. To calm everyone ( mostly myself :) ) down who thinks that by my more detailed exploit description the risk of exploits being used has been increased: Everyone with the capability of writing exploit code would have gotten the same information from the patch itself. ...

this fixin that packet problem? You should clarify your question if you want a useful answer :) The problems fixed are: - A packet with a fake sender ID caused a crash - A message with a fake message ID caused a crash - < Another silly error Edited away because it is easy to exploit once you know i...

Wall tunneling: it is currently possible to tunnel through other player's walls at the last turn they made. To reproduce, drive along someone else's trail when they are driving straight for a long time. When the other player turns towards you, you turn in the opposite direction towards his trail at ...

You are probably using GCC 3.4, the sources for 0.2.7.0 and 0.2.6.0 are incompatible with it. I'm afraid that for this particular problem, there is no patch floating around, but Armagetron 0.2.6.1 ( released yesterday ) or Armagetron Advanced CVS should work. Or you can fix the problem manually: eve...

Yeah, like, we haven't got anything better to do than hang out in a chat room. If we were all there all the time, nothing would get done. :roll: And have you heard of that thing called ... sleep? Or work? Some people have strange concepts of reality. On the topic at hand: It is paranoid to think OGL...

I only noticed it now z-man, your "ranking" on the forums is not core dumper or anything, but God, why is that? You'll have to ask that question to Tank. I guess there are special rankings you don't get by posting, but by declaration of the board administrator. I was't too happy when I fi...

That's only since I commit every little thing because I'm working in parallel on 4 different computers and CVS is the most convenient way to copy stuff around. And for almost every commit, I have to push another one fixing the stuff the first one broke

As far as I remember from another thread, the changelog would be semi-auto-generated from the CVS log entries on every release ( someone found a tool for it ), so there is no changelog that presents the current events in CVS. There is the bug and feature request database on SF. In some instances ( I...

Hey, I know that avatar!

Welcome to the forum, that's all I can to say. I would indeed think that a good cockpit view server was missing recently.

Damm, that gives me motivation to make the client side networking code work correctly...

I have a "real" one. I guess everyone of you is familiar with the concept that "before/after" pictures presenting the success of a weight loss product or muscle trainer are usually faked. But two weeks ago, I've got this as a commercial snail mail ( advertising some dead sea pill...
