Looks like the old properties file makes you to connect to old server.

Delete "Documents and settings/user/.technopolies" folder to reset to default
or adjust the following property:

server.host=dev.maryno.net

Quote from: "EgonOlsen"Looks great...but doesn't work... I tried to run the webstart version and am getting this:

What's New:

- changed versioning
- changed application loader
- improved usage of items. Cursor will change to "HAND" if your equipped item may be used on target. You may now equip axes and pickaxes to main/off hand
- new object: Cactus. May be harvested to pick cactus spikes
- new object Junk Pile. You may search junk piles for random items.
- new objects: water and oil tanks
- new object: wooden fence
- fixes for UI
- changes to serialization and 3d mapping. old clients may become incompatible

Try increasing heap size with -Xmx / -Xms params to jvm. If it works fine then:
- leave as is, update memory requirements
- review you code for possible optimizations that will reduce memory usage

If not, then you may say you've got a memory leak. You will have to review the code / launch application under profiler to discover the problem. From the past experience the problem is most likely that there are references to "obsolete" objects stored inside your "active" objects in a running threads:

- in object's properties
- in hashmaps/collections (caches, "listeners", etc.)
- in another thread, that is still alive (daemons, launching actions in new thread)
- non-static inner classes - they still carry a reference to outer class instance
- AWT/Swing elements. They might have your objects in model/listeners
- double check static objects - 90% of problems go there

If i were you, I'd use JProfiler (it's commercial but you may find a workarond at astalavista.box.sk if you need it badly) and it's memory monitor to find out more about memory usage in your application.

Hey Uija,
Yes, still alive and kicking. Visiting forums from time to time. Gonna spend more time here when i have it.

BTW. Added a bunch on handsome features to techno lately, hope to show them all later this month.

:shock:

whoa. Do they require to have special knowledge in order to ride that monster ?  

i suppose it's pretty safe to ride a panzer - at least it never gets broken from crashing into a wall

just wanted to say that the project will stop for an unspecified period of time.

I am really depressed with what is hapenning now in Belarus. I really wished that me and my family's commitment to democracy and freedom will not interfere my job, my private life and this project in particular.

But things have changed - i've got problems on my day job because of my activities, my father has been assaulted today and is in hospital now..

I really wish i had some time to work on a project, but will certainly not in the next couple of months. I am planning to find a job far away from here, move to a quiet place and take care of my parents. No more games, sorry. Wish me luck folks.

- new creature: trilobite
- new buildings
- fixed "falling through ground" bug
- fixed bug with messy blood spots on the ground

*Removed*

My bad, i was putting vertices in wrong order. It works now Thanks !

Sorry for late response. Nope, it didnt worked. Sometimes player flies over the ground, sometimes falls through.

Thanks, Kamil, Crate and Raven - i appreciate your feedback. Sorry for being idle for these 1.5 weeks - was away and busy on my job.

Regarding issues and suggestions - i have applied fixes for most issues you discovered. I will send additional notification when they all will be fixed.

Regarding suggestions - there will also be several changes to make gameplay more ballanced.

Currently working on:

- new monster creatures, new buildings, new objects
- updates to scenario. Finally it is going to be a well-formed map with NPCs and monsters, unlike it is now.
- AI for guards and city inhabitants

I've got stuck with a math question.

How to determine Z coordinate for a point inside a polygon with given x and y coordinates ?

Assume we have SimpleVector p1, p2, p3 - vertices of the polygon.
then we have float x, float y - coordinates of point inside this polygon. How do we find Z coordinate that belongs to this polygon ?

Spent 30 minutes trying to figure this out and finally gave up. .. any suggestions ?
