I would love to mod for Mythruna
If only I knew java!

-I have an old Dell Inspiron with a 1.6 ghz single core processor, 512 mb of RAM, and a 128 mb Radeon card and I got to the loading screen before getting an error log. I didn't expect it to work but it was worth a try.

If you post the error log then maybe there is something to see.  Maybe.

i tried to install on my ubuntu computer, but as soon as i select the settings it prompts you to set, the game starts at a black screen. then it closes after about 5 seconds. any help? proper settings, maybe?

Check for an error log in the directory where you ran it.

Without seeing that, I can only guess.  Standard stuff: leave AA set to "Disabled" in the settings dialog (apparently people compulsively set it high for some reason).  And make sure your display drivers up to date.

What graphics card do you have?

Hey paul... just a random idea: Make an automated error log reporter which sends the errorlog named "<playername>.txt" which is then saved in some location of your choice... to which you can then look at if that player has a problem bu simply fails to figure out how to upload the file them selfs

PS. I could code it for you using AU3

Yeah, I think about it every 3 or 4 days.  It still boils down to more work than just telling people where to find the error logs.

There has to be a user interface to let them opt out... probably also show them the error and what info is included.  Then I have to handle the case where the posting of the error throws an error, etc..

Here's the log:

com.jme3.renderer.RendererException: non-power-of-2 framebuffer textures are not supported by the video hardware

Yeah, unfortunately that's a non-starter.  Right now Mythruna cannot support cards without non-power-of-2 support because of the post processing filters (and probably a few other things).

I could make a GUI, and a user interface... first-time-mythruna-start asks them if they want to opt out...      or even put it into the launcher...

**EDIT**
On second thought I'm not the best programmer out there... infact I was trying to code a compressor today, that simply looks at the first 2 characters and tries to find more copies. If it finds any it then replaces every occurrence with ONE character. It then reads the next two characters and does the same thing... so one would think the size of the file would decrease a little over half... but my awesome coding skills made it double

Compression is tricky.  Lempel-ziv (lzh) compression works similar to that.  It writes out a bit stream that starts at 9 bits or something.  If the 9th bit is set then it's a lookup into the table.  If it's not then it's a regular byte and it adds that and the previous value (which was an index into the table) to the table for next time.  So the lookup table is built on the fly and eventually has a reference for every unique sequence encountered.  But you have to be really comfortable reading and writing data in bit streams.  Not for the faint of heart.

Even still, lzh can make files larger if they are sufficiently random.  It works well for text where you often have the same sequences of bytes over and over.

It's nice that in Java I almost never have to worry about this anymore as they have GZip, etc. built right in.  I did write my own run-length encoder for the terrain data, though.

[randomprofile]

Well... I got a 30KB exe to compress to 15kb... while winrar only got it to 23KB However my new compression method takes forever to compress because it's coded in a poor language... and I don't know C++ enough to be able to rewrite it

the graphics card i have is nvidea gforce. as soon as i can, i will get the error logs.
