UPDATE: If you downloaded the client before February 19 01:00 UTC, please download it again, important fix!


Hi hunters,

I really love HunterCoins but playing I feel the need of additional features and improvements on the official clients.
So I started to implement some of the desired features myself, and here is the result.

Actually the new features are:


- Added the mouse coordinates below the mouse cursor

- Added a button on the toolbar
http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r795/jokulhaupssky/button_zps34a8fbfa.png

This button has two main functions:

1) Fires a popup with relevant infos about the crown holder:
  - crown holder name
  - his coordinates
http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r795/jokulhaupssky/popup_zps265d01d6.png

2) Shows a marker upon the crown holder on map. The marker size is proportional to the zoom factor. So if you zoom out, you'll see a very large marker to immediately detect the crown holder:

pressing again the button hides the marker.



- Added a button on the upper tab to improve visibility of your characters.
A square of the colour of the character, for each character, is shown on the map, so you can easily detect where your troops are.

i don't understand a small thing...
if the game code can easy editable u can easy make bot for the game right?
so what's the point of that?

the new feature looks great pompobit. :) I hope snail can integrate it into the new client as im not good at binaries and stuff.

One's already in the works by me :D

Can you add getblocktemplate to the JSON RPC calls?
It's required for stratum

Yes, you don't even need to hack the client.  RPC interface is plenty enough, I have one running since Sunday evening. :D  It made me quite some coins at the beginning, but rewards are dropping of, unfortunately.  Still not too bad for the time I spent coding it (and I enjoyed for its own sake in addition).

I'll give it a try

This client is awesome, once you get used to the feature that shows all your hunters in the map you can't really go back. Adds tons of strategy and makes planning very easy.

Great work!

Impressive work is done i hope you win.

please who already downloaded the windows binary, download it again now, I discovered a memory leak problem that could fill the RAM and slow the game.

By the way, new features coming

This client is great.

I have a feature request: could you add an acoustic notification when a coin spawns adjacent to one of your players?
This would help human players (especially in the future when bots will be less stupid and recognizable and killable than now).

This wallet working fine?? not crashed?? because wallet 1.05 crahed 3 times in 2 days and lost some huc and generals...runaway exception etc....this is ok?

this client is not more stable than the official one... If your client is crashing is because something is wrong with your settings, try to delete the huntercoin folder in c:/user/USERNAME/appdata/roaming/ (save the wallet.dat before) and open the client again, so you'll download the blockchain again.

I know i trying 2 time this is a 3 time :)

I sent 100 HUC to Pompobit

it is looking great..

I think instead of the squares (obviously it is ok for now), it would be better if the Hunters were Glowing.. I can edit the sprites if needed.

Thank you snail, but if the huc are from yours, I don't think is fair.

I'd appreciate a part of the reserved bounty, but now that it is gone, leaking your stack is not my goal, you deserve your huc much more than me.

Instead, should came the donors :P


by the way, if you send me the sprites you like, I'll apply them

And I love the squares! I ask them to leave, or at least for me individually.

Pompobit , please pay attention to the following problem https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=435170.msg5254897#msg5254897

This should now have been fixed.
Download the new client and try it, it works under linux, still not tested on windows, let me know

I test on windows it works brilliant see next post

although :D -- i think maybe now is too small (At least on my 1080p monitor).. ultimately i think would be better if the bar is stretchable?

sorry for the poor diagram but this is what i mean:

http://i60.tinypic.com/23hlqva.jpg

STOP..

I just run this.. but now.. I get dberror opening the official one...

also i noticed it's much less smooth when scrolling... this may jsut be because of the co-ordinates on the mouse pointer?
Mikhail created a custom visualizer for the map to speed things up.. maybe is related also (as the addons are not predrawn or something?)

this is on windows.. have not tried on linux yet

--

so my original official client no longer works.. but this modified one does work..

(i need to redownload the chain)

---

do you know why? - (have posted in the other thread)

replied in the other thread too, I'll give it a try with the stretchable window.

ok cool...

yes the problem with your client and going back to the official client was just the dependencies compiled with..

I have updated the windows binaries download link :D thanks ;)
