[ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - Worlds First Decentralized Game/World on the Blockchain

[kikeda]

Here comes the news!!!

Full Huntercoin: Mithril Edition (beta) Released!!!

http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/Download

For few days there will be no fee applied (thanks BayAreaCoins for his donation), so rush to get it now and report anything (features request or bugs or whatever!)

there are a lot of features and some are a little bit "hidden", I'd need to write down a guide but i'd prefer to spend time coding next features like bot programming and bot protection, so feel free to collaborate doing videos or "how to" for the community, huntercoin need help from everybody!
I'll link or publish your guides to the main site!

meanwhile i just want to state here some shortcuts (very handy).


CTRL+ H: hide all the interface (useful to see what happen behind floating windows)

Holding CTRL while having your own hunter selected and right clicking on a walkable tile, will add a waypoint to that destination, this way you can build up a complex path!!!
(Holding SHIFT + right mouse click compute a straight path instead)

if you want to track down an enemy path even when he moves, select him and click "Show Directions" on Target window (it's toggable so you can switch that setting)
(read the getting started guide on my site to have some help)

there is a lot to talk about but now i really don't have the strength to do so, need to sleep

Give me feedback, thanks

thanks mithril, cant wait to try it when i got home.

Keep up the good work devs!

I just realized that Huntercoin is the most privacy-centric coin in existence.

The game works as one giant mixer. (this wasn't even a design goal, right? )
And a non aggressive bot like BGB's demo can convert coins into newly mined, pristine ones.
It's the perfect solution for anonymity while things like Zerocoin or Darkcoin will come up with imperfect solutions.

Yes, that's indeed true.  I never thought about it like this - at least for minor amount of coins, it should be relatively easy to "mix" them by going through hunters on the map.

i'm near to release the client
less then an hour

Sent you some BTC for your work.  Not much, cause I don't have much!

thanks

[heskey]

Still ridiculously low price

does not launch on my computer / w7 64 bits

the client crash when you start it, or you can't authenticate?

if it crashes, it's because probably you didn't have alla requirements installed

ensure you have the requirements, follow the Getting Started guide

http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/GettingStarted


maybe you didn't installed xna (you have the same O.S. i have)

[sorji]

@MM. I can't authenticate
but the account can login in your website
Please advice, thanks

[MithrilMan]

I've found the problem
I'm fixing it then i'll update website and release new version of the client

there is a bug when you use username with less then 8 chars
if you register with another account with at least 8 chars it works

[MithrilMan]

Problem Solved!
Download again the client, it has been updated, now short login should work and in case of error you should see it and not being stucked without info

so download again the client and test it out!

Starting daemon...
Waiting Daemon Response... (could take a while but check rpc settings)
Ending daemon

repeat over and over....

Any ideas on whats wrong?

[Sanglotslongs]

Stuck at 27% two times when I download blockchain 148k, anyone have the same problem ?

[Jugge]

Need other nodes to be able to sync

[zzaza]

im gonna try this new client, thanks!

it could take long for the daemon to warm up, but not too much (i'd say no more than 2 or 3 minutes on a classic HD, less on SSD and even less on RAM Disk)
if it keep giving you that error, you must check if you don't have any conflict with settings in huntercoin.conf in your datadir folder (default is %appdata%/huntercoin )

note that you can't run my client with an active QT Wallet already opened

read www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/GettingStarted to get started (even if it's not updated for current version, it has still valid information about configuration)

you are welcome, feel free to report me anything that sounds wrong or confusing

[MithrilMan]

message to everyone who are testing the client.
Your feedback is important, here you can post your experience and ask about best practices: http://forum.huntercoin.org/index.php?topic=75.0

at the moment i've opened a chan on http://webchat.freenode.net/
you can join me on #mithril so i can reply to any question regarding the client

I'll be there for few minutes, before focus again my attention on coding the client

WOW!! I closed the wallet and then started mithril edition and waited less than 3 minutes for it to connect and open, then maybe another minute or 2 for the screen to populate anything on the map, but now that it loaded it looks GREAT! This should be a lot of fun......

[Globb0]

Is hunter coin talk gone? not loading for me a few days.

Ill give the client a try tomorrow if I get some time.

Thanks,

glad to hear that
tbh sync speed shouldn't have improved because it relay on huntercoind.exe, but my client is a lot smoother and doesn't hangs, i think many people who leaved the game could come back and have a lot of fun like i had testing the client

moreover, now that i released it i will not stop developing it. Current version has a lot of bugs and lacking features regarding the GUI (interface) respect the one i've in mind
i haven't even implemented the ingame chat because XNA support for keyboard is so poor that just english keyboard works well (and i'm Italian so it's a layout problem even for me, with misplaced chars)
and to implement even a simple windows, takes a lot of effort because XNA hasn't a built in library so...
one of the things i'll do will be redo all the GUI, implementing Awesomium into my client, so I'll have a WEB like interface, much more powerful (at a cost maybe of some FPS but for this kind of games FPS isn't important)
It will take a while but will pay off

and beside that, there is the bot implementation into the client (hence the better GUI is mandatory, would be hard to manage a bot interface with current GUI system)
a lot of work to do but, hey, i like it


P.S.
lol, a funny side effect about my client, i forget to remove the message "Eureka" when my client create a player and now it's funny to see a lot of happy hunters yelling that in blockchain
