Topic: [ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - Worlds First Decentralized Game/World on the Blockchain - page 164. (Read 879724 times)

At https://www.cryptsy.com/currencies/view/114 it says "Starting cost per Player is 1 HUC" but it is actualy 10 HUC. Also blockchain explorer link is not working (not only for
HUC but most coins listed on Cryptsy). Many coins need info updates - retarget mechanics changed, some had total number of coins changed and so on. It would also be cool
to have link for coin main websites (http://huntercoin.org for Huntercoin), not everyone is crazy about checking GitHub.

this link isn't working for me atm, whole mega.co.nz isn't working, dunno if the problem is on my side

yes you need to download each chain file separately

also..

this is latest chain.. syncing from these latest blocks is much faster from block 270k+

https://mega.co.nz/#F!gAV2iALZ!BPy7ZbXHdbruv6iMn-WRMw

you need to download every file.. then use some zip type software to unzip them.. most should do automatically. try 7zip (what i used to compress)

while you are happy hunting for HUCs after the disaster happened, I'm @ work and can't do nothing about that (sigh) BUT, I've to announce a very cool feature that I've implemented and that i'm going to release this week end: real time chat

let me explain a bit how it works and why it's there

as you know, blockchain chat is something cool as concept, but practically unusable because it's a game transcation and thus you have to wait transaction confirmation in order to be able to say your things.
moreover you have to send on behalf of a player you are planning to move, if you don't want to waste a player movement.

At this point, for me, is like it doesn't exists, i used it just to joke with someone i killed or evaded but nothing more...but now.... things are different!

In my opinion realtime chat is something a game should have in order to improve game experience for players and help builds a community, so it was something to have at any costs (time and server )

Only for Huntercoin: Mithril Edition users (becase chat server runs over my VPS and it's an hand made chat server tighted with my client) everyone can chat in realtime with a cool ingame chat interface that gives you the chance to interact more with others and play better togheter.

At the moment (but just because this isn't an easy task, need some time to do) you have some limitation:
- only 1 global chat channel
- no personal messages

I'm already planning to be able to create multiple channels password protected and do personal chats, but need time to do a proper interface and client/server code, but I'm quite fast so you won't have to wait much

but now let's see some detail about the chat system and how it can impact gameplay and user experience.
in top right area you have a new button

clicking on this, will toggle the chat panel, that's a slide panel on the right on the map and when expanded it covers partially the map 



as you can see, html is not allowed to format test (for security reasons), while i have a cool system to transform some text into interactive elements:
writing something like #huntername.1 will create a link that when clicked select and center that hunter:


same if you write only the player name (autoselect it's general)

writing something like #coordX;coordY (e.g. #123;89) will create a clickable link that will center that area:



I'm adding other useful things on top of this (in future emoticons too but atm more important things to do).
I expect to release this version this weekend!!!

Got the wallet down and was trying to get the .zip file to unzip in my library folder but something was not working correctly and it wasn't unzipping..  I'm not sure if it's because of different file formats Mac/Windows etc.  If I use the files from Mega do I download each of the chain files separately?   

Thanks again!

I can only second this!  Also, setting your "keypool" option to a value higher than the default 100 seems like a good idea.

Yes the daemon needs restarting - hopefully won't be long.

Also a warning for all - I had been playing/testing heavily - i had not backed up for 3 days (took me a bit to realize this)... in those 3 days i had done a  lot of nametx moves etc..
i was using a ram drive and turned off my pc..
When I resync'd I had lost all my 1200 coins.. balance = 0 -- but it displayed all my moves, lpayer deaths etc, although some nametx had some weird values..

After lots of panic, resyncing, rescanning etc etc - the conclusion was:

as with all(most) cryptos - When you do a tx (nameupdate/move) - you send your "chunks" of coins (maybe 1000 even if it's just a 0.01 fee) and you receive the change.
In the time i had not backed up - I had lost the privatekeys for the addresses the change was sent to.
Looking at the tx list i thought it was some weird corruption - but it was not.

Moral of the Story - if you are a heavy player (botter or playing with many many characters) make sure you backup often.

When domob gets time he will try to "improve this" - I've created an issue on github here >> https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin/issues/67

Thanks man

It's down. You can always check here if you want to make sure, fyi:

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Is http://huc.explorer.dot-bit.org/ down for anyone else as well?

Ok, here the update!

New HUC:ME version released: V 1.0.3 (858)
this is mandatory, everybody need to update or authentication will fail

* add some visual hints
   * display ghost coins where they could spawn (Image 1)
   * display coloured spawn/bank areas (Image 2)
   * enanched console visualization for message regarding alarms (Image 3)
   * revamped messaging system, more compacth and readable, with clickable elements when needed (like alarms that point to hunters like in console) (Image 4)

Image 3

(update: now clickable names are shown better)


Image 4

(update)
i spotted a little visual bug (popup message when your hunter reach destination are with a "warning" skin while they were supposed to be with a "success" skin, will be fixed in the next update  


* fixed a bug about player disappearing, now i join information taken from name_list plus name_pending, case of disappearing hunters should be gone (or at least very rare, never happened)

fixed some behaviour about hunter/player selection
* now selecting a player from "My Troop" window will autoselect the general
* using the shearch feature, will show path of the selected found hunter, like if you select it in "Cell Info" window (previously it only selected the hunter)


*fixed some problems about fee system someone had faced, eg:
- fee is requested after synchronization ends
- fixed some buggy behaviours that could cause the client ask the fee twice for 5 minutes

* improved website backend, now when your client has an error i send that error to my server so i can understand what's wrong and it's easier for me to fix that


I think I forgot some other things i added

download link is the same: http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/Download

you won't get many unless you buy some significant hash power
you can try using a mining calculator, there are many (sha256 and scrypt) and you should only need the difficulty and the amount of hash you have (and block times?).

but - they will / maybe not be to accurate due to dual algo.

You would also need to mine in a pool (f2pool) -- the problem with p2pool is that merged mining coins is like solo mining, so you'd need a significant amount of hash to get any (as in, giant pool amounts) - I will put a public bounty to possibly add altchains to p2pool for namecoin and huntercoin.

Of course you would need to merge mine or would be a complete waste of energy.


not sure what you mean - coin run out of it's supply?

you can check the OP for the latest update with disaster implimentation and changes

the map currently looks like this - less people and much more playable



although this may change with the upcoming imminent next disaster.

Been out of HUC for a while. Anyone care to update what happen since March 2014? Have we solved what will happen after coin run out of its supply. And I hear another coin has now also incorporated gaming (motocross).

Is there any way to calculate how many huntercoins I will get per day if I buy a miner? Can anyone that is mining give me a round about number?

Excellent! Thank you for getting it done!

haha

Productivity in the office is hitting all time lows as everyone here has found huntercoin lol

WoW, HUC finally hit Cryptsy
Cheers!

thanks.

mac wallet is >> http://forum.huntercoin.org/index.php?topic=37.0

Works on Lion+ .. let me know how it goes.

make sure you backup your wallet. also, unless you want to wait a few days to sync, you're probably better downloading the chain on that page.

I will upload the new chain in a day or 2. Atm, syncing from blocks since the hardfork is very quick.. it's just the blocks before which are painful.

Brilliant.

and thanks for the nice comments. <3
