WarMUX

Alpha version removed, please wait for final Warmux release

Hi,

the Android smartphone port is coming along nicely, there is still some work to do (extending help, improve keybinding edition, ...), but at least some tests can now be performed on a larger scale (by you) to test whether this is still stable.

For now, I'm providing a Windows installer for current development version. Please be aware there are no translation currently. This can be considered an alpha version to iron out most obvious bugs.

There are a lot of changes under the hood, but here's a partial summary:

• Ingame interface bar now has clickable parts: character to center on active character, weapon to open weapon menu, clock to open pause menu, and on the far right, a shoot button to replace the space bar not available on touchscreen
• Minimap is clickable too: camera is moved close to the position clicked in the minimap
• Controls can be edited in the options menu (not yet perfect)
• The primary way to scroll is now kinetic drag like with touchscreens; scroll on border is still available but as an alternative
• Railgun weapon was added: going through characters, you can accumulate some damage that way
  

No, I don't want to, this is too troublesome. I want first some reports to remove the most obvious bugs, then we'll see about true betas.

Here's one bug which happens with Windows and Maemo:

During game play open key bindings menu via pause menu. Try to set some key which is already in use, error message appears. Now click somewhere to close the error message and background changes from normal menu background to map view hiding OK and Cancel buttons.

Hello,

I've found a bug but I can't tell you the version number because I don't know where to look after it.
I've downloaded the subversion as described here: http://www.wormux.org/phpboost/wiki/subversion.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04
These are the bugs I've found only in this subversion:
-it's not possible to dig in the ground using the airhammer
-the game crashes when choosing a certain team (maybe there is missing a file)

Some other bugs that also exist in previous versions:
-when taking supertux it's possible to choose another weapon while supertux is flying; the player who wants to choose supertux next looses his move;
-if you take the grapple and press f6 after jumping (while the character is falling), the character doesn't fall down but somehow the vertical direction of his flight is inverted

I hope the description of the bugs is detailed enough.

Greetings

I'm quite sure that clicking on character icon in status bar used to center on active character some time ago, but now it's not working?

Citation:

The error occurred when trying to change the team in a local game. There was no output in the console but I can't remember the team. (I've already removed this installation because there were troubles with the installation of the newest stable version)

New version soon up, r8418.

Modifications:

• Number of particles becomes a percentage (by 20% steps) rather than "none" or "all" in the game and option menus
• Some small menu glitches fixed, in particular keybindings
• Increased max number of playing teams to 8; may cause problems though and slowdowns
• Android: translate configuration strings to French (other languages possible)
• Android: revert to compiling for ARMv5
• Screenshot functionality (as bmp in the personal data dir, Documents\Wormux under Windows); will be improved with time (currently no screenshot taken except in game and if player is local)
• Various small optimizations, mostly useful for very slow machines (ie Android)
• Reorganisation of default keybindings, as numerous functionalities are binded (increase/decrease sound/minimap size, help menu, screenshot, ...); in particular jumps are return + a modifier (control/alt/shift)
