Re: JetBrains CLion/Visual Studio Code free IDE build and debug

I have asked Cholmondely for wiki access via PM but oddly my message remains stuck in the outbox. I'm not sure what I need to do to get it to send. Every user can only store so many messages. Check on your other folders whether you see a quota warning. And if it is not you it might be the recipient.

Re: JetBrains IDE CLion build and debug

With both CLion and Visual Studio Code, you get syntax highlighting and the ability to run makefiles. I've not been able to get the debugger to work fully in either. With CLion it ran, but there are no debug symbols so it won't stop at breakpoints and you see assembly language if you pause. With th...

Re: JetBrains IDE CLion build and debug

Can't blame JetBrains from earning money for providing professional IDEs. Typically their policy is to have a free community edition that may be used noncommercially. Well, there is no money behind Oolite so there is no need to worry. But I cannot blame anyone to be careful. There is some Objective ...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

This just does not make sense. There is an outdated libespeak.so that was compiled against outdated other libraries, and that's why Oolite needs to be shipped with outdated libraries? Now knowing that libespeak has not even be customized in any way what is the point of sticking to that binary? I ag...

Re: JetBrains IDE CLion build and debug

It is good to have a platform agnostic professional IDE. If that work it should get a mention in the developer's corner in the wiki. For the build tool: I guess the makefile complexity is already there. Both a Makefile and a Gnumakefile are in effect, and they may spawn more such files IIRC. If some...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

Here's what I've boiled the required lib mess down to. libespeak.so.1 ( choice of libespeak.so.1.alsa libespeak.so.1.pulseaudio ) Presumably because of the static reference to the espeak-data/intonations. libgnustep-base.so.1.28 libicudata.so.70 libicui18n.so.70 libicuuc.so.70 libpng14.so.14 Oolite...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

But then I tried something else: I turned off 'spoken messages'. And performance was stable, even with high traffic. So whatever the root cause for the effect, it is connected to the TTS engine. Wondering: is it possible for voice output to reckognize it is taking too much time for the events comin...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

Next test: Oolite 1.91.0.7712-250703-6477e4d Flibble behaves mostly like the previous version 1.91.0.7710-250627-93a1322. But then I tried something else: I turned off 'spoken messages'.

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

I just tested the legendary Oolite 1.90 release on my Ubuntu 24. It runs way better than 1.91. What did we change? What improvements might I be missing? AFAIK there is the HDR change - which only plays a role on capable Windows systems. Then there is phkb's keyboard update. I am using the keyboard f...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

So I pressed Ctrl-F to activate the FPS display. After launching from the station I get between 60 to 75 FPS. But when times get hot, it can drop down to 20. This is where it gets unplayable. The rate drops intermittently - just when I am ready to shoot. Sometimes small corrections (even with pressi...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

Looks like I already removed that, so you'd have had to install it anyway. viewtopic.php?p=301103#p301103 Another one to try might be SDL. Try: cd ~/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/ mv libSDL-1.2.so.0 libSDL-1.2.so.0.hidden apt install libSDL-1.2-compat If we can figure which libraries ...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

But there is a drop of bitterness: Sound output can get stuttery, and that impacts controlling the ship. Not good when lots of bad guys are around. So assuming you're on a test system, please try: rm ~/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib/libopenal.so.1 If you get a bunch of fail, you may ne...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

Are you using my latest pre-release? If you are, I'll roll up an Ubu 24 to find out what's occurring. libgnustep-base.so.1.28 should appear in ~/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/oolite-deps/lib. If it's built with 1.28, then bundling 1.28 should sort it even if a newer version is installed locally, or n...

Re: How to encourage more developers to be involved

:roll: The good news on the Linux front is that the release here https://github.com/OoMrFlibble/oolite/releases works. Is that qualifyable? Where did it work? I tried on my Ubuntu 24 LTS and it did not come up. Some required library (libgnustep 1.28) is not present. Well Ubuntu comes with 1.29 and h...
