Mythruna

Hi all,

Firstly i'm impressed as far i see the game and i want to try it. I have Java 6 Update 29 - build 1.60_29-b11 and app just freezing at title screen. And i'm tried first release of game, and it's works well. Also client.log is always blank and i've tried linux version. No one works. Are you can suggest a solution ?

Thanks.

Is there an error log?  (Should look like error-123456.log where 123456 is some unique number)

By "title screen" do you mean the one that lets you set the display settings or the one with the "Single Player", "Multiplayer", etc. menu?

There is no error log. Also i mean splash screen by title. ("Mythruna" (a text with image overlay and stroke effect) and under that "Role Playing Game" text)
I'll try latest versions until its works. And you can understand by changelogs problem's source.

All error logs are same. First 11 line:

It's kind of a shot in the dark but have you made sure your video drivers are up to date?

What kind of graphics card do you have?

Graphic card driver is up-to-date. I'm using Nvidia MSI GTX 460

When the application is run it goes through the following steps:
1) The splash screen comes up with just an image, no buttons or anything.
2) The settings dialog comes up.  It has the same image as the splash screen and has buttons and settings at the bottom.
3) The game launches and there is a main menu where you can click on single player or multiplayer, etc.

Does the latest version hand at (1) or at (2)?

If it's hanging at (1)... if you look in the windows task manager is the application still running or did it just leave the splash screen up?

Older versions of the software cannot connect to the current public server.  The protocols are incompatible and a change in one of the low-level APIs means that you don't even get a nice message about it.  The older versions were also much worse at handling network errors.

The snippet of the error log that you posted is interesting but I don't think it includes enough.  Can you attach the first 1000 or so lines of one of these files?  Preferably one from the most recent version that you got a log from.

Thanks for your patience and sorry this is being a pain.

1) The splash screen comes up with just an image, no buttons or anything.
Latest version is hanging at 1. Still running by increasing memory size.
Also i've compressed and attached log file (135 kb / actually 153 mb)

Thanks.  I had to install Winrar to look at them but it was useful.

There is something funny about the way Java is running on your system.  I'm not sure if there is an underlying error triggering an odd sequence of events or if there is just some other problem.

Either way, I know how to fix the error that you see... and at least that will get us to the next error if there is an underlying one.

For this and other reasons, I think I will post a release tonight or something even if it's only something I post to the forums.  We'll see.

Thanks for taking the time to upload the logs.  Can you confirm which version this log came from?  I want to double check that I'm looking at the right code.

You're welcome. Absolutely i can. It's release 2011-07-16.

Thanks. Good luck.

To see if this works past your issue (and maybe uncovers a different one), I've posted a build here:
http://mythruna.com/distros/Mythruna-20120217-Windows.zip
http://mythruna.com/distros/Mythruna-20120217-Linux.zip
http://mythruna.com/distros/Mythruna-20120217-MacOSX.zip

These aren't official releases.  If it works past your issue then I'll post some official ones.

Thanks. I've tried it and after splash screen just created 1 kb error log.

Wow, I have no idea.  The error is completely wrong about that.

I wonder if there is something funky about the security settings on your install of Java.  A lot of Mythruna code uses reflection and will fail if it is somehow disallowed.  Though I would have expected a completely different error in that case.

For whatever reason, Mythruna is looking for a function called setInvertMouse() and not finding it... even though it's definitely there.

Is your Java a regular install or have you done something to it?

I guess the nice thing is that with such a simple error, it's trivial for me to put together a small test case.

It's a regular install. Also i have Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. First i installed it i was have Java 6 Update 19 32 bit. But now Java 7 Update 6 64 bit. So nothing changes. Everything is regular. I think it's an important problem for you. If you're doing a game, it needs to be works on every computer. I saw similar posts on forum. I can help you at all about testing. No problem. Also i'm a game/level/environment design student (UDK,CryEngine,Source Engine etc.). Meanwhile i've created some basic 2D games for the company i'm working with kinect. Nothing related java but i can help at testing/development phase of a game.

Whatever, i hope you can fix that issue.

Yeah, I want to run on as many systems as possible but it's possible to tweak the security settings on a Java installation to make that impossible no matter what I do.

The part that's failing for you is such a simple fundamental Java thing that it's baffling.  I will try to put together a simple test case later to see if I can determine what's going wrong.

You are the first I've seen to have had this problem.  At least of those willing to report the problems.  So thanks for that. :)

I've made some tests...

http://mythruna.com/test/ReflectionTest-MacOSX.zip
http://mythruna.com/test/ReflectionTest-Windows.zip
http://mythruna.com/test/ReflectionTest-Linux.zip

Sorry for the size but I wanted to test with the real ClientOptions class and it was easiest just to make an alternate client build without any assets.

There are no graphics, no windows, or anything.  Run it and it will make a client.log

paste or attach that client.log here.

Thanks.

O.K. I've attached it.

I've updated the tests again with more debugging information.  Can you download it again and try again?  The new client.log should be larger than this one (in case you wanted to double check that you really are running the new version).

Thanks again.

Here we go.

Ok, another version is up... can you please try again?  (I'm starting to run out of things to check.)

Sure, i can. I've attached.

And we have our culprit, I guess:

Standard bean accessor:public boolean mythruna.client.ClientOptions.getInvertMouse()
getPropertyData(ýnvertMouse, true) = null

For some reason, on your platform:
"I".toLowerCase() results in "ý" instead of "i".

I've changed my code to do the same thing as Java's bean utilities but I don't have much hope.  Being able to upper and lower case letters in a consistent way is the corner stone of the beans API.  If it really is locale specific then I can probably work around this case but it makes me wonder what other letters are lurking in the shadows. :P

There is a new version up.  Please try it. :)

And there it is.

Yay, last line:
2012-02-18 23:05:05,408 INFO  [mygame.Main]   Successful.

That is the most bizarre thing ever.

"I".toLowerCase() is not "i"
but:
Character.toLowerCase('I') is 'i'

...things that make you go "hmmm"

Anyway, the next release will fix this problem and you should be able to get past that point.

Yay problem solved for now xD i hoPe its sucessful

This whole thing reminds me of a few years ago, when my older brother and dad took an entire day of computer work to find that the video card's power (i think) was unplugged.

Yeah, imagine doing that remotely over a phone. :)

This was a very weird problem and I ended up learning something about Java that I didn't know before.  And trust me that this is more depressing than boastful but for me that doesn't happen very often.  :D
