Mandatory update released for my client, V 1.0.4 (2216)

too much to say so if interested look here: http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/Download

short: realtime chat ready with something nice to improve user experience (clickable contents to improve cooperation)

I've updated a new version

It's hard to keep updated different places, so everyone interested in my client can follow the client home page here: http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin

new release
http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/Download

(and mandatory)
fee system will be activated tomorrow, to give time to people to update to current version that fix a bug with the previous version

here you can see the bell icon you'll have to click to access to that page


and this is the alarm settings page:

I've just released an update of my client, here info and download link:
http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin

added life indication after poison strikes, display disaster chance to happen (indicative), and added a "delete transaction" button in the detail dialog of a transaction opened from the miniwallet window

yep that page isn't loading for me on my end... hmmm I'll try later. It might be due to the Dollar General Internet connection I'm on.

Keep up the good work my dude!

BAC

which one?
http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin is accessible to me

Web page isn't loading for me either.

here the news
the new version of the client has been released!



beta link has been removed.
The new version (that will be mandatory in few days, when i'll enforce a login error to people who have an older version) can be downloaded at the usual address, start here:
http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin

new version now include a new system integrated with the website
- lot of fixes and some visual improvements
- a minimap icon has been placed on top-right next to statistics and settings icon
- your address are listed on miniwallet
- in-game chat implemented


free to play without any fees for a week

P.S.
some users reported problems with version 1.0.11c of the daemon, and feel better with 1.0.11b

I've big plans about future releases but need a player base to go on, so use it

hey I've just updated new version of the beta of my client, it's almost done, respect last one i fixed some issue and added some stuff



how you can see here, I've implemented the chat, not just as readonly as before, but now you can type a message over your hunters list in "My Troops" window and when you'll move some of your hunter, that text will be send on behalf of that player
you can even send just a message without planning other actions on hunters of that player of course

Other thing added is the previous feature i wrote about (context menu to open a dialog that show who share the same reward address of a selected hunter)

Next thing, i fixed the displayed block time needed to reach a point, in the hunters list of your troops, but then i went beyond and implemented the same feature over the targeted hunters in "Target" window, you can see that in the pic (the number between brackets) next to the "moving icon"

another tool in this toolbelt

you can download the beta at the same previous address: http://www.mithrilman.com/files/HuntercoinMithrilEdition_beta.zip

tomorrow i could release officially this new version, update website, etc...
then I'd need some help from community to write something about how to use properly the client, common tecniques etc... because we need new players to come to play this cool game, disaster time is coming, few days to the disaster block!

P.S.
thanks to people who tested the client and reported things so far!

to bravehearts who wants to try the new interface, here it is: http://www.mithrilman.com/files/HuntercoinMithrilEdition_beta.zip

it works with old huntercoin daemon too

it has been already tested some, it's not 100% finished (need to fix some small issue) but it's almost done

if testers and whoever wants to try it out gives positive feedbacks i'll release officially and I'll start to work on bot management & design system



interface on your left side, can be arranged (try clicking the lock icon to understand how it works, when they are "locked" they follow the width of the draggable split line, when they are unlocked they can be placed anyway on the window)

doubleclicking a window maximize it (not very useful i think but i've done it and could be useful for future bot interface)

to toggle the map visibility press CTRL + M

there are much more things to tell you, but i'm short of time now, have to go, I'll write more info later

I'd be glad to know your opinions about the client, what you'd change, what you like, new features, etc...

It's reccomended that you update to 1.0.11 huntercoin version before launching the client, or at least backup all before do that. first huntercoin launch will be very slow


P.S.
there are some bugs i'm aware and i'm working on
e.g. if you minimize window and then reopen, you'll see the interface didn't show up, you can just click on the game window and it should appear again (or resize the window)

har har har,
some news about my progression with my client!
I've just posted a brief video (< 2 min) about the new interface i'm doing, here the link

http://youtu.be/NSkgcfehCmc

here you can see what I've done at the moment:
- a new Mini Wallet, with a clean and nice interface, that show easily the current transations statuses and get updated every new game_state (so every new block).
- a new Cell Info window, much better then previous one (not yet finished, need context menu actions and other things like maybe a "search" feature

both are 80% completed
after that 2 windows, I'll implement a new Chat panel, so i can show everything (hopefully) included chinese text, etc...

then the "my troops", "statistics"(easy) , login screen and the "mini map" (the trickier) to finish the "porting"
then... i'll dive into army and bot programming interface, will be exciting!

meanwhile I inivite you to download and use current version of Huntercoin: Mithril Edition, look what i've done few minutes ago thanks to intelligence client gives




27 HUCs in few minutes (i don't know who has been the suicider blue bomber, but i used his moves to gather dropped coins!
(tomorrow or the day after I'll start applying the 1HUC fee on my client, so low!)

here the links again to the video on the upcoming interface (no ETA at the moment, too much work still to do but i could release an early version of the game with a mixed interface if it makes sense),
http://youtu.be/NSkgcfehCmc

just an update about my progress with the client

I want to introduce a big change: a new game interface
previous one had many drawbacks:
- very bad support for localization (no keyboard except english one, no support for extended chars like chinese, etc..)
- hard to implement complex controls like grids, etc...
- too much effort to create a simple window

during those days i tracked down my client usage.
there is a core group of player that keep using it but the ovarall count is low, too few players.
i tought about what could i do to spread the client around and i tought that lack of localization could be a cause (even if i think that the main one is that many players leaved this coin atm, but i'll be ready when they'll come back after pruning and disaster comes out, and blockchain size will not be an issue anymore)

this is why... i'm implementing a totally new interface, that will keep me busy for a while but will pay off, here just 2 screenshot about my new ingame wallet i've partially already done





i succeeded at implementing complex web interface into my client, and this is just the begin, i'm planning to port all the GUI using this new technique

as i said, it will take a while (well, not too much since i already spent a lot trying to figure out how to do the core stuffs, so now i should go smoothly)

this is a needed step even thinking about the next big step: bot implementation and army commanding inside the client.
I said needed, because those features will require an advanced GUI and now i know how to obtain that.

P.S.
in few days I'll activate the fee system, i need to try it out and the fee will be low, 1 HUC/day
i hope more players will use the client as long as i keep spending time, money and passion doing this and i hope community apprecciate the effort

P.P.S.
I'd like to have a feedback about guilds like the chinese one, i think that i can add useful features to people who works in team and i'd like to have requests and feedback

if anyone has a problem with my client, i'm keeping updated a post with Known Issue here:

http://forum.huntercoin.org/index.php?topic=78.0

if someone report some problems, i'll add that problem and a workaround on that thread

Great!!

come here http://webchat.freenode.net and join the chan
mithril
so we can try to fix your issue

Im missing connections, the nodes aint working for me.
Is there more nodes that can be added?

and cant find anything about the -datadir?

Im in the game, trying to sync but as said.. have no connections.

Very very Very excited to get this thing running!

it sounds like a misconfigured client

did you specified an empty -datadir as argument in the setting page?
drop me a screenshot or more detail about your configuration

if you haven't already done, read the getting started guide: www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/GettingStarted

ah, be sure your firewall didn't block my client too

I need a fee of 0.00 to be able to start the game?
And the sync is stuck on block 0

What am i doing wrong?
