Repost of the preceding message

Maybe I can at least reply you in English.

For the language, i18n is supported, it's just the system language that isn't detected. You can still change it through the option menu.

For the naming of new alpha tests. Yeah I know, it's just very cumbersome for me to track the numbers and edit their name/location appropriately, as I must also update the code.

btw, by using volume keys as ctrl/shift, it's not from N+2 but 3*N actions that we go. So it's always a win, as long as you have 3 keys.

Hi!

First impressions from trying Wormux on the Moto Droid :) The game gets reset when the keyboard is open/closed (you need android:configChanges="keyboardHidden" in your <activity> tag). Now, to the actual gameplay. I've never played Wormux before so likely I don't know something obvious but I believe if you release game to the Market that will apply to most people so you may find it useful.

Summarising -- I don't know how to play this game (and yes, I did play Worms, Scorched Earth etc.)

- there are arrows circling above one of the characters and I assumed that's my active... worm? :) (not sure how you call them) Yet, it looks like the actual shot is performed by another one (or maybe I'm just running out of time and the shot has been performed by the AI opponent but they have been SO poorly aimed or just plain dumb that I think it must have been me :) ). If indeed the circling arrows indicate the active worm I believe they should be replaced with something much more obvious, like an arrow maybe.
- I don't know how to shoot/teleport/take action. Tried double-tapping, pressing Space or DPad fire -- no effect; the time just runs out.
- weapon selection doesn't seem to work. I click on the weapon part of the bottom panel, the popup appears, I select e.g. a Bazooka but nothing changes (e.g. I still see Teleport at the bottom, don't know how I switched to the teleport in the first place).
- there are two time counters at the bottom, one counting up and one down. I assume the one counting down is the time before my move times out but it's confusing as they're overlaid on top of each other. Don't know what the other is for.
- the default teams both have brown worms; the opposing teams look somewhat different but it's far from obvious which is which.
- the yes/no (V/X) options at the bottom are next to each other -- a big no no on touch screens :)

In the end I tried playing it for a few minutes but I felt like I was just randomly clicking around :( Waiting for a new release! :) The graphics/music are very nice and overall I think it can be a real hit on the Market but the gameplay/user interface needs lots of work if it is to be played by the unenlightened masses like myself :)

Cheers,
Max

Hi!

Nice! I didn't notice you mentioning your framerates. I have very different reports, but that may depend on the map used.

Quotation:
The game gets reset when the keyboard is open/closed (you need android:configChanges="keyboardHidden" in your <activity> tag).

Fixed in svn, although I didn't check what it meant fully. Also, for hw keyboard-less phones, it might be useful to be able to pop up the software keyboard. Not good enough in java to implement it though.

Quotation:
Summarising -- I don't know how to play this game (and yes, I did play Worms, Scorched Earth etc.)

I unfortunately understand this, and want to include additional help screens, in particular for the default phone keybinding. The usual distributed builds have pdf with them. You can get the [url=http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/wormux/trunk/doc/howto_play/en.pdf?rev=6232]english one here[/url].

Quotation:
- there are arrows circling above one of the characters and I assumed that's my active... worm? :) (not sure how you call them)

Normally, yes

Quotation:
Yet, it looks like the actual shot is performed by another one (or maybe I'm just running out of time and the shot has been performed by the AI opponent but they have been SO poorly aimed or just plain dumb that I think it must have been me :) ).

That sounds very strange. In any such case, you can force the camera to center on the active 'character' (because we no longer want to be just a 'worms' copy) by clicking on the character at the left of the bottom menu.

Quotation:
If indeed the circling arrows indicate the active worm I believe they should be replaced with something much more obvious, like an arrow maybe.


Guess what, it was like this at some point :nex

Quotation:
- I don't know how to shoot/teleport/take action. Tried double-tapping, pressing Space or DPad fire -- no effect; the time just runs out.

Do you have a hardware key for screenshot. If yes, use it. If not, I have added a menu recently (less than 2 weeks, so it really needs improvements). Only drawback, you can't remove a keybinding in order to bind a key to another action. Final unfriendly (shouldn't be in the version offered on the market) solution for now: edit /sdcard/Wormux/Wormux/config.xml if you installed to SD card (otherwise, you can't).

Quotation:
- weapon selection doesn't seem to work. I click on the weapon part of the bottom panel, the popup appears, I select e.g. a Bazooka but nothing changes (e.g. I still see Teleport at the bottom, don't know how I switched to the teleport in the first place).


I think the weapon icon displayed is bugged. But you should notice the weapon you selected, until this is fixed.

Quotation:
- there are two time counters at the bottom, one counting up and one down. I assume the one counting down is the time before my move times out but it's confusing as they're overlaid on top of each other. Don't know what the other is for.

One is a countdown until the end of the current active team turn (generally 60s but you can change it in the game config tab before starting a game).

Quotation:
- the default teams both have brown worms; the opposing teams look somewhat different but it's far from obvious which is which.

When in the game menu (before starting a game again), you can click on:
- the team icon to change to another one
- the penguin icon to change to Artificial Intelligence-driven team

Quotation:
- the yes/no (V/X) options at the bottom are next to each other -- a big no no on touch screens :)

I was already said that, but didn't think much of it as I didn't have such a problem. But then, ok, I guess I'll have to do that change, now there are 2 people complaining. :D

Quotation:
In the end I tried playing it for a few minutes but I felt like I was just randomly clicking around :( Waiting for a new release! :)


Sorry for the letdown. I think I'm going to take a semi-rest during the following week, because this port has been occupying me for the past 3 months, but I really want to put the remaining work needed to make the game worthwhile.

Quotation:
The graphics/music are very nice and overall I think it can be a real hit on the Market but the gameplay/user interface needs lots of work if it is to be played by the unenlightened masses like myself :)


Thanks for the kind words and the very interesting input that enlightened me to actual problems.

See you around for the next beta release then ;)

Oh, sorry :) It's partially obscured by the minimap but I think it oscillates between 13 and 14 FPS (it's on the default map).

Yes, I think it was the AI (read below :) ).

kurosu:

Ookay, that worked :) Except there's one problem with this setup -- on the Droid to access the DPad you have to keep your keyboard open and that makes the photo snap button not really easy to use. I'm not a usability specialist but as a gamer I think you should have two setups: one for keyboard-enabled devices and one using touch screen only (i.e. not using the volume up/down and photo buttons).

Confirmed. Now that I know how to fire I can switch weapons, all of them are displayed as teleport (that's how I 'switched' to it before ;) ) but they do the right thing when fired.

My point was that the default setup could use a more varied team styles (you know, to make it easier for someone who starts the game for the first time).

Good catch. I've overlayed it over the minimap now.

So maybe you should reattribute the shoot action in the option menu, keybinding tab.

Someone wanted to look at that, I'm afraid this will also need a bit of work

The photo snap button is one of the best positioned hardware keys for shooting. The idea is for people not having hw keyboards to use the accelerometer, but they still need a key for shooting, and more if they want to stand a chance (ie being able to jump, etc).

I think it is fixed. it's the 'mouse' over that updates the menu weapon icon, and it still was updated despite the weapon being already selected.

Forgot that, I'll probably discuss this within our team.

gilead:

Well, still did a minor upgrade, with some speed optimizations (but still laggy,strangely).

I think the game prefers having the sound as 44Khz (in the option menu again), at least with my phone.

Hi there!
I've searched a looong time for an alternative to worms. And here you are (first thank you!! :top and a lot :-) ).
And now let's talk about android... mmmm I have a HTC Hero!!! daaamn! Wormux crash after a quarter second at the launch and doesn't write anything in the logs. If you want I can help you to test it on the hero and I'm able to make you a good advertisement on the Xda developpers website :-) because there is really a looot of people which could be interested (I mean there is a lots of nostalgeeks there ;-) )
So if I can be of any help I would be please to lend a hand.
Before you ask, the install is correct, everything has worked untill the program should have launch itself, but instead, appear a black screen for 2-3 seconds and hopla! home screen. :heink
Regards,
H.

Hello!

dodjob:
I have a HTC Hero!!! daaamn! Wormux crash after a quarter second at the launch and doesn't write anything in the logs.


As a matter of fact, I've updated the current build. I think the Hero is a armv6 processor, but still, I reverted to official Android compile flags, which target armv5te. I think those are too slow anyway for wormux.

Quotation:
So if I can be of any help I would be please to lend a hand.


Firstly, how does the new build work for you?

Quotation:
Before you ask, the install is correct, everything has worked untill the program should have launch itself, but instead, appear a black screen for 2-3 seconds and hopla! home screen. :heink
Regards,
H.

The long black screen is due to sound being loaded. That you crash so soon after that means that either the audio or video backend has trouble.

A few thinks to verify/check:
  • Where did you install it? If not on sd card, try sd card. If on sd card, did it write anything to /sdcard/Wormux? Please check in particular the availability of /sdcard/Wormux/stderr.txt, /sdcard/Wormux/stdout.txt and /sdcard/Wormux/Wormux/config.xml
  • If you have adb installed, is there anything related to sdl or wormux appearing in the output of adb logcat when you launch the game?
  • Could you try games by someone called pelya on the market (OpenTyrian and AlienBlaster for instance)? Do they work?

To everyone: I have a new build up, with speed improvements in particular. Please also wipe your Wormux folder so that all data is downloaded again.

Hi Kurosu,
Thanks for the reply :-)
So the right are written/read =yes for both files.
But I don't have any config.xml in the folder Wormux/Wormux
my logcat gives me this:

Ooooooooook the new apk make the program launch :-)
Has you mentionned it it's laggy, there is a lot of "force close" but I haven't activate the JIT yet. It may run faster X-)) thanks for the update!!
If you wish a logcat of this one working I can post it here :-)

Yeah, I noticed some potential problems, as seen by the long log you provided, as the code is currently in an intermediate state. Work is in progres.

The Hero is rather low clocked, so that's also why it's laggy. But JIT won't help, as it's all native code.

Ok, You are right! I've overclocked my hero to 748Mhz (576 before) and it's already really less laggy. Let's say it's playable :-)
Just a little "bug" if someone call you while you are playing, everything become really laggy, the income call screen pops up and the pusic continue to play during the call :-))) it's.. very interesting lool :-) and wormux is killed :-(
Concerning the controls I have a complete touch screen but also a trackball. What should I chosse in the config?
finally thanks to you I can be a real geek with my worms on my android :-) Iphone users can go "se rehabiller" X-)))
*edit " For the records I get between 6 and 13fps" which is really acceptable. I just have to find the way to fire anything. Because I didn't found any help concerning the controls :-D"

That's the sad state of wormux: at the time its graphic engine was developped, OpenGL was almost something for pro stuff... Nowadays, wormux is dying of not supporting it.

That's the problem with any port using sdl: it has no idea it's running on a phone, so it doesn't even know this happens. And as soon such applications are put in the background, they are bound to crash. Same happens if you lock screen, and there's little to nothing we can do about that.

Trackball is used for directional keys, which might not be perfect concerning game play.

Deactivating sound (last tab in options menu) helps often a lot. Deactivating wind particles also helps.

Unfortunately, I'm waiting for our graphist artist to draw a proper icon to add as a shoot button, and also to add an appropriate image in the help menu.

Currently, you must have an additional physical key to shoot. By default, it's the camera button. Volume keys emulate shift/ctrl.

Shoot icon done, and I have added such a shoot button to the far right of the ingame interface. This requires re-downloading the whole data package, as I've had to tweak this interface, and some of its images were modified.

Also, I have added back network game. I did a very quick test against the same code compiled for Windows, and it seemed ok. It is of little interest for now as nobody has such version to play.

I haven't updated properly the data file, one file is invalid. You should download graphism.xml and save it to your /sdcard/Wormux/data/ folder
