@stormchaser3000
I need more informations: Which operating system and which version do you use? Is your computer 32-bit or 64-bit? What is the exact error message? (Preferably from debug.txt)
If you want to try our game you can install binary version meanwhile.

[stormchaser3000]

the binary did not work properly either and did not give any useful info in the debug.txt (all stuff i had seen before and knew how to fix) anyway ima try to build and run again. and my operating system is arch linux. linux kernel version 4.5.1-ARCH. and i am building a rub in place build. and building with gettext and freetype


EDIT: here is the debug info wanted

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

EDIT2: hope that is helpful although from what i can see that doesn't look like much.

[gibucsoft]

Open main.cpp and find this piece of code:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

#ifdef NDEBUG
      catch(std::exception &e)
      {
         std::string narrow_message = "Some exception: \"";
         narrow_message += e.what();
         narrow_message += "\"";
         errorstream<<narrow_message<<std::endl;
         error_message = narrow_to_wide(narrow_message);
      }
#endif


Then comment this piece of code, recompile the game and send us the new debug info.

We have just published Blocklfe 1.6. Since last version we made these changes: Left hand, so you can now use both hands, free inventory fields for hands were added, item or block can be no longer used as a tool, tutorial mode, game mode has to be set during the creation of the world and it can be no longer changed, graphics was improved, some bugs were fixed. So download it, try it and reply us. There are some screenshots of the current version:

Changes made on the engine or by a mod???

[gibucsoft]

@azekill_DIABLO
Tutorial mode is a mod like creative mode but the other changes between versions 1.5 and 1.6 are on the engine.

this is an epic game with dual weilding, but the default game is unplayably laggy due to an exess of mods

[gibucsoft]

@Diamond knight
We are happy, that you like the dual wielding. We know that our game is laggy but how would you suggest to improve it? You wrote about excess of mods, so do you thing that implementing the functions in less mods would help? Because if the problem isn't in number of mods but length of code, we can't do anything about it because we want do add more things in our game.

[Diamond knight]

the cause for lag is a mistake i made way too much during my first subgames...


hoarding mods

there are three ways to fix this

sacrifice some mods

or do some core development to make a more efficient api

lastly make the game 100% c++ like voxellands (the best choice if you like to have toooons of "mods")

i suggest you take a look at my realtest+ and vanessae's realtest revamped for inspiration on how to get a good simplicity to realism ratio

and make several versions for different computers

blocklife_game_deluxe - the current one, also the laggyest

blocklife_game+, remove a few of the really laggy mods

blocklife_game (normal), more mod removals to make it a bearable lag (like the lag on vanessae's creative)

blocklife_game_lite (not very laggy)

blocklife_game_ultralite (very little lag)

blocklife_game_simple (very few mods exept moddified default)

@Diamond knight
Thank you for telling us about your experiences. They will help us to make the next version better.
