TUER: Truly Unusual Experience of Revolution, FPS using JOGL

gouessej · November 8, 2011, 12:59pm

Hi

TUER is 5 years old, I wrote a small article to sum up the progress in relationship with the roadmap (in order to avoid doing a copy/paste on all threads about it):

About your website: The liberal world is not the free world. The word “liberal” on its own in English generally is taken to be “socially liberal”, instead of the “economically liberal” in French. So instead of saying: “The capitalist world is not the free world”, you’re saying “The Leftist world is not the free world”…which somehow I don’t think is your intent.

nsigma · November 8, 2011, 2:17pm

OT. That depends a bit on what English-speaking country you happen to be in, particularly apparent (though not exclusively) in the position of various Liberal political parties on the so-called left<>right axis. And personally, as a social and economic liberal (spent too long working in regional government to be enamoured of big government! ) I have no idea where I’m meant to sit.

On an even more OT note, Julien and I share a similar position on free software, but quite diverging political views. This is a quite interesting article (among many) - Why Libertarians Should Celebrate Free Software

I’ll shut up now! ;D

In France, liberals have been only in the right wing for decades (even centuries), the notion of “social liberalism” is quite recent, politicians who pretend to be both liberal and in the left wing are rare, even a large part of the left wing does not consider liberalism as something compatible with it. There is a confusion even in my mother tongue between the word “libertaire” (“socially liberal” in English) and “libéral” (“economically liberal” in English), some journalists use the first one instead of the second one. There is almost the same confusion in some countries whose official language is English. I prefer using the word “libertarian” to translate the French word “libertaire” and the word “liberal” to translate the word “libéral”. As far as I know, in USA, several French far left-wing parties would even be prohibited, even the communist party of America accepts the capitalism and votes for the democrats. Historically, the left wing was born in France, some politicians against the veto of the king went (physically) to the left and the others went to the right more than 2 centuries ago.

Maybe I should write “The capitalist world is not the free world” but it would not rhyme in French.

Roquen · November 8, 2011, 4:12pm

I would leave the French as it is and just replace the English. If you want to keep the play on words, you could use “The free-market is not the free world”. Not as good as the French, but sorta captures the spirit.

gouessej · November 9, 2011, 10:41am

It is a nice suggestion but why not speaking about neoliberalism? There is no confusion with this word as far as I know.

Hi

The bug of the focus request is going to be fixed soon as I know the root cause, I just have to perform this request later when I’m sure the NEWT window is realized. I assume the mouse scroll event will be implemented in the next release candidate of JOGL 2.0. The main problem comes from the NEWT feature for cursor move, it seems to work on Cent OS 5.3 but not on Mageia Linux 1 :clue:

When at least 2 of these bugs are fixed, I will commit the modification allowing to use JOGL 2.0 in TUER and JFPSM. When all these bugs are fixed, I will update the pre-beta version on my website to allow you to give it another try with Java Web Start.

gouessej · December 7, 2011, 10:39am

Hi

TUER is “JOGL 2.0 ready” (I use JOGL 2 RC4) and almost “JOAL 1.1.3 ready”. I will update the whole source code and the demo of the pre-beta version in some days or some weeks in the worst case. This port required a lot of efforts to fix bugs in my own source code (the focus request was done too early, the move of the mouse cursor was working bad because I had forgotten to respect the Y convention once, etc…), I feel better now. Of course, Ardor3D is “JOGL 2.0 ready” too.

gouessej · December 13, 2011, 6:09pm

Hi

The source code has been updated but there are still some problems:

JOAL 1.1.3 does not yet use the automatic loading of native libraries
JOGL 2.0 or my own renderer for Ardor3D does not work fine on some laptops under Microsoft Windows

If you have a laptop under Windows 7 with an integrated Intel graphics chip, please consider helping me. I need to write a very simple test case to reproduce this bug. I will temporarily add it to my own source code. Best regards.

gouessej · December 22, 2011, 7:28pm

Hi

I have just switched to JOGL RC5 and the corresponding version of JOAL. The sound works fine anew even with OpenJDK ;D I will update the Java Web Start demo as soon as possible. Best regards

gouessej · December 24, 2011, 9:44am

Hi

I have just updated the pre-beta version, you can give it a try if you want (especially GNU Linux users):
http://tuer.sourceforge.net/very_experimental/tuer.jnlp

As I said 2 days ago, the sound and the exclusive full screen mode work fine now both with Oracle Java and OpenJDK.

Hi EgonOlsen

Thank you very much for testing. The use of a 32 bits JVM on a 64 bits system is not (yet) supported by JOAL. I will report this bug.

gouessej · January 4, 2012, 3:11pm

Hi EgonOlsen

I have just written a bug report concerning your problem, I have found the root cause and I have suggested an idea to fix it:
https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=550
I try to take into account all feedbacks about my game.

Can a GNU Linux user give it a try please? I tested it on only 2 machines.

gouessej · January 6, 2012, 11:59am

Hi

Sven provided a fix for the bug 550. I can’t test it now. I will update the libraries in a few days and I will ask EgonOlsen to give it a try once again.

gouessej · January 9, 2012, 10:03pm

Hi

@EgonOlsen, I have just updated my own demo with the latest fixes, please can you give a try tothe pre-beta version of TUER with Windows 7 64 bits & your 32 bits JVM?

EgonOlsen · January 10, 2012, 7:39pm

The sounds works fine now…but the visuals don’t. I can only see what i assume is a quarter of the screen. For example, i can only see spain in the title screen (Radeon HD 5870, Latest drivers).

gouessej · January 10, 2012, 8:18pm

Thank you for the feedback. I have just forgotten to filter the screen modes correctly whereas it is quite easy with NEWT as some dedicated methods are available for that. I have just updated the demo, I hope it works fine now.

EgonOlsen · January 10, 2012, 8:35pm

Yes, it works fine now.

gouessej · January 10, 2012, 9:48pm

Thank you so much for your help, really. Now I have to implement other features.
