[kNuu]

No response account login

do you still have problems? it works to me, maybe a temporary server problem (it's based on an hosting service, now i've bougth a vps but need to setup all and will take time)
if you have connection problem try again, and be sure that you can reach www.mithrilman.com because the server is the same
things i noticed is that sometimes the server kill the appdomain and start again, so it could take some seconds to restore, but if you retry should work
keep me updated thx

The user can reach www.mithrilman.com, but can not enter the new version of the client

it's strange
i can't see if it's a password problem because i store them as hash, so be sure you write that right, because is case sensitive
i don't know if you have strange characters in the password too, maybe could be the problem, anyway it should write in red what's wrong, something like this :

I have to add some log server side to understand what the problem is, anyway if you can show me a screenshot of the problem i could help you

After landing is, without any changes

mmm, i have to add some info to the client log
it's not important to be logged on the website, the game authentication is done in another way, but it shouldn't hang like it's happening to you

i'll add some server side log info and maybe update the client too, to catch some problems

meanwhile, in the directory where you have installed the game, you should find a debug.log file, can you send it to me?

ok thanks, downloaded it, you can now remove it
I'm looking into the problem, i fuond the point that has problem but need time to fix, now i have to go away for a while but i'll fix it and let you all know
It seems to affect random people because it involve encryption stuff when sending authentication token to the server, for a reason i've to understand it fail with some arguments

I'll update here when it's fixed, thanks for the log!

it sounds like a misconfigured client

did you specified an empty -datadir as argument in the setting page?
drop me a screenshot or more detail about your configuration

if you haven't already done, read the getting started guide: www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/GettingStarted

ah, be sure your firewall didn't block my client too

[MRKLYE]

Very very Very excited to get this thing running!

if anyone has a problem with my client, i'm keeping updated a post with Known Issue here:

http://forum.huntercoin.org/index.php?topic=78.0

if someone report some problems, i'll add that problem and a workaround on that thread

[MithrilMan]

just an update about my progress with the client

I want to introduce a big change: a new game interface
previous one had many drawbacks:
- very bad support for localization (no keyboard except english one, no support for extended chars like chinese, etc..)
- hard to implement complex controls like grids, etc...
- too much effort to create a simple window

during those days i tracked down my client usage.
there is a core group of player that keep using it but the ovarall count is low, too few players.
i tought about what could i do to spread the client around and i tought that lack of localization could be a cause (even if i think that the main one is that many players leaved this coin atm, but i'll be ready when they'll come back after pruning and disaster comes out, and blockchain size will not be an issue anymore)

this is why... i'm implementing a totally new interface, that will keep me busy for a while but will pay off, here just 2 screenshot about my new ingame wallet i've partially already done





i succeeded at implementing complex web interface into my client, and this is just the begin, i'm planning to port all the GUI using this new technique

as i said, it will take a while (well, not too much since i already spent a lot trying to figure out how to do the core stuffs, so now i should go smoothly)

this is a needed step even thinking about the next big step: bot implementation and army commanding inside the client.
I said needed, because those features will require an advanced GUI and now i know how to obtain that.

P.S.
in few days I'll activate the fee system, i need to try it out and the fee will be low, 1 HUC/day
i hope more players will use the client as long as i keep spending time, money and passion doing this and i hope community apprecciate the effort

P.P.S.
I'd like to have a feedback about guilds like the chinese one, i think that i can add useful features to people who works in team and i'd like to have requests and feedback

[MithrilMan]

har har har,
some news about my progression with my client!
I've just posted a brief video (< 2 min) about the new interface i'm doing, here the link

http://youtu.be/NSkgcfehCmc

here you can see what I've done at the moment:
- a new Mini Wallet, with a clean and nice interface, that show easily the current transations statuses and get updated every new game_state (so every new block).
- a new Cell Info window, much better then previous one (not yet finished, need context menu actions and other things like maybe a "search" feature

both are 80% completed
after that 2 windows, I'll implement a new Chat panel, so i can show everything (hopefully) included chinese text, etc...

then the "my troops", "statistics"(easy) , login screen and the "mini map" (the trickier) to finish the "porting"
then... i'll dive into army and bot programming interface, will be exciting!

meanwhile I inivite you to download and use current version of Huntercoin: Mithril Edition, look what i've done few minutes ago thanks to intelligence client gives




27 HUCs in few minutes (i don't know who has been the suicider blue bomber, but i used his moves to gather dropped coins!
(tomorrow or the day after I'll start applying the 1HUC fee on my client, so low!)

here the links again to the video on the upcoming interface (no ETA at the moment, too much work still to do but i could release an early version of the game with a mixed interface if it makes sense),
http://youtu.be/NSkgcfehCmc

[MithrilMan]

to bravehearts who wants to try the new interface, here it is: http://www.mithrilman.com/files/HuntercoinMithrilEdition_beta.zip

it works with old huntercoin daemon too

it has been already tested some, it's not 100% finished (need to fix some small issue) but it's almost done

if testers and whoever wants to try it out gives positive feedbacks i'll release officially and I'll start to work on bot management & design system



interface on your left side, can be arranged (try clicking the lock icon to understand how it works, when they are "locked" they follow the width of the draggable split line, when they are unlocked they can be placed anyway on the window)

doubleclicking a window maximize it (not very useful i think but i've done it and could be useful for future bot interface)

to toggle the map visibility press CTRL + M

there are much more things to tell you, but i'm short of time now, have to go, I'll write more info later

I'd be glad to know your opinions about the client, what you'd change, what you like, new features, etc...

It's reccomended that you update to 1.0.11 huntercoin version before launching the client, or at least backup all before do that. first huntercoin launch will be very slow


P.S.
there are some bugs i'm aware and i'm working on
e.g. if you minimize window and then reopen, you'll see the interface didn't show up, you can just click on the game window and it should appear again (or resize the window)

[MithrilMan]

hey I've just updated new version of the beta of my client, it's almost done, respect last one i fixed some issue and added some stuff



how you can see here, I've implemented the chat, not just as readonly as before, but now you can type a message over your hunters list in "My Troops" window and when you'll move some of your hunter, that text will be send on behalf of that player
you can even send just a message without planning other actions on hunters of that player of course

Other thing added is the previous feature i wrote about (context menu to open a dialog that show who share the same reward address of a selected hunter)

Next thing, i fixed the displayed block time needed to reach a point, in the hunters list of your troops, but then i went beyond and implemented the same feature over the targeted hunters in "Target" window, you can see that in the pic (the number between brackets) next to the "moving icon"

another tool in this toolbelt

you can download the beta at the same previous address: http://www.mithrilman.com/files/HuntercoinMithrilEdition_beta.zip

tomorrow i could release officially this new version, update website, etc...
then I'd need some help from community to write something about how to use properly the client, common tecniques etc... because we need new players to come to play this cool game, disaster time is coming, few days to the disaster block!

P.S.
thanks to people who tested the client and reported things so far!

[MithrilMan]

here the news
the new version of the client has been released!



beta link has been removed.

- lot of fixes and some visual improvements
