Game client modified by Gilbertus

That means that your Java path is set incorrectly.

You have 2 options:
1)Change your Environment Variables to properly point to the Java path.
2)Open the run.bat and change it to point to the proper Java path.

Ok, I set the full path to Java in the batch file and CMD will open, run some stuff successfully, then close. Afterwards I try to run haven but nothing happens: at all.

Any suggestions?

I got an interesting theory about my improved mapper suggestion:

- Every "local" minimaps should be given a codename once discovered, and if the same map was found by another player, then the map will be ignored...
Problem is that how will the client know which map has been seen, and which one isn't?

Google was able to use satellite to get their image of our planet in a way, but comparing it to this is a bigger feat since you have no tools to reveal the entire map... D:

Bigger difficulty is really that it's really really really hard to identify local minimaps. The coordinate system in-game is scrambled with a new origin on every login. So you can't use that to identify them. Basically, you have to eyeball it.

Is there any chance of having xray let you click on objects behind other objects without being "highlighted" yellow?

Ok, so, i am still trying to get this to work on a mac.

I did what sabi said--but, I get this error that says:

Code: Select all

Unable to access jarfile haven.jar

Keep run.bat in game folder and run it from there.

So, to remedy this, I specified the path to the .jar file into the .bat, which I have now made a .txt file I can use to edit (and it works the same like a batch thru terminal on a mac).

this is what my code in the .bat/.txt file says after I specified the haven.jar path:

Code: Select all

java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar /Users/Elliot/Desktop/hh-macosx-ppc/haven.jar sh.seatribe.se

did I do something wrong, because when I run the file thru terminal, have breifly loads, then this error appears in terminal:

Code: Select all

Try (inside game folder)

java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -Djava.library.path="/Users/Elliot/Desktop/hh-macosx-ppc" -jar haven.jar sh.seatribe.se

Bigger difficulty is really that it's really really really hard to identify local minimaps. The coordinate system in-game is scrambled with a new origin on every login. So you can't use that to identify them. Basically, you have to eyeball it.

I'm thinking of make MD5 hash of minimap images and compare them but it will probably work only sometimes. Since environment changes fast (growing trees etc.) and every new generated minimaps will be different.

Is there any chance of having xray let you click on objects behind other objects without being "highlighted" yellow?

It annoys me too. X-ray function only draw outline instead of object but object still is there and takes events. Maybe i will find a way to change it but for now i don't know how.

You'd have to use the client to modify and make the "object" not visible or selectable to the client, in order to click what's behind it... Which isn't such a good idea.

Maybe if used with xray, what it should do is make big objects that covers smaller objects, "invisible" so you can technically click on it since you are fooling the client and server.

There are so many awesome things we could do if it wasn't for the damned randomized coords .

[DeadlyPencil]

your client seems to have a problem with the ":lo" logout command. every once in a while it doesn't actually log me out. my game screen just freezes with no error message. so i have to restart the client.

2) Every map will occasionally send data online if used, to upload information about the map to a map server, where the server then collects such maps, and uses a smart way to take the maps and find any similarities, then presses them together.

I'll do it, in case you pay for the traffic.

If someone codes this entirely (client + backend), I'll host it as long as traffic remains less than 50 GB per week.

The hashing is a good idea. Send hash to server, and if it's not recognised, upload entire pic. Keep a session per minimap coordinate reset, and let the server stitch it together as far as possible.
