??
my client uses that RPC command using huntercoind.exe RPC interface, are you sure you are running the correct version?

name_register is not yet available .......................

here it's 1:45 AM, I think i'll be around for another 30/45 minutes if you want to try now, or .... in 8 hours ~

My client has a real time chat, use it and if I'm available i'll help real time there (CTRL+1 to open the chat)
maybe you didn't had a full synched blockchain, I'm not responsible about how daemon (huntercoind.exe / qt) works, if it let you send transaction if the blockchain isn't full synchronized
Anyway next time try to ask help on chat and I'll help you if timezone help us

any screen shots of the game update?

Starting a little slower than expected, but here is my first feedback.

The game, as it is, is fine for some people no doubt.
But there should be some "version" that lets anybody understand and play the game quickly.

So far it is very difficult and complicated for me just to learn the basic game [i.e., follow the tutorial, I haven't actually played yet. See below.]. I "get" that some people will like a particular video game and others not. But the issue here is whether Huntercoin is going to be a very niche "game" targeting a very narrow slice of the public, or whether it is going to be a human mineable coin.

If the goal is to really lead in the coming field of "human mineable cryptocurrencies" then there must be some version that is easily understandable and playable. [Like "Pacman", a game they use to have in bars in the U.S. in the 70s or 80s. It took 5 seconds to learn how to play and most people enjoyed playing it. Could Huntercoin not have a "simple version" like Pacman, that let anybody play and "mine"?]

add

I'll try it some more in a few hours or so.

... I think I created a hunter, but in the "My Troops" window it has said "Pending Player. waiting to be created" for about an hour. Seems to be  stuck on block 1170564    Will check in a few hours.

... Logged back in after a few hours and "Pending player" is gone. I guess the troop got killed while I was away from the computer? lol

... Sent more HUC to the game wallet to try again later today with the other client. So far I have spent 205 HUC and gotten nothing but annoyance. I have been telling a bunch of people for weeks that I was going to set up a computer and show them how to mine a cryptocurrency with Huntercoin lol  

I appreciate the lot of help from Mithril and Snailbrain and others who are very generous with their time.

Planning to try some more in a few hours.

So far this coin is an epic disappointment.

"brutal feedback" appreciated lol

if you have problems just tell, i saw you launched the client time ago but probably you were still downloading blockchain?

backend updated, problem solved, free access for everyone now works, enjoy (latest client version now is mandatory)

Great work!

THANKS BUCK <3

a bit late, but here is the 32bit Unity Client

https://mega.nz/#!IBc3BaIB!_VPNxF1qAw_-ziKJdpob6E7rGy-HkP5CcDSCOd_VK2s

due to a bug in the backend, users that create new accounts will be asked to pay the fee, don't, just PM me
I'll check occasionally new activations to manually set the free access, as soon as I'll find the time I'll update the backend so that this opeartion will be automatic

sent the remaining 10k! best of luck hunters

don't expect that, at least about my client, anyway I've recompiled the client with Reach profile and I sent to you the link, tell me if it works.
Its performance should be worse than HiDef profile but at least should work, let me know

I've read your report and you had an Intel 945 Express, Intel integrated cards were really bad about XNA compatibility (google it)

anyway let me know if the new compiled client works for you (see PM)

this is an old style game (2d game), not a "3d full fledget pushed to the limit" kind of game, so its requirements aren't that high, but nevertheless the game framework I use (XNA) has some requirements (not that high) and this of course means that you can't run this on a 386 SX

I wish i could have your previous pc to see if your problem with my client was caused by a lack of updated drivers / DirectX version or just an incompatible graphics card
anyway as I said i'll try to compile the game with a different settings to see if your client can run it without problems (i'll upload it on a different address and send it to you when i find the time, not before a couple of days for sure tho)

this is the offical microsoft page about XNA games requirements:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb203925.aspx

it says your graphic card has to be DX9 compliant, but DX10 is better (DX = DirectX) but since XNA is pretty old, it should run with any PC (even more than 3 years ago)
Probably if you encounter some problem it could be caused by old graphics card drivers (or a really poor graphics card) but e.g. in my office the desktop has 3 years, with an embedded graphics card and it works, I really don't have a "minimum requirement" except those guidelines

P.S.
actually most of the heavy work is done by the daemon/QT handling the blockchain data, so if you have a very low end computer you may end up having it running my client but being slow on the blockchain side (just i guess, not sure about qt requirements)
of course if you setup an external daemon and connect to it with your windows pc, you have just to satisfy XNA requirements

I've just enabled free access to everyone to use my client, even before CoinFest
You have time to try it and be ready to have a chance to win the CoinFest prizes, enjoy!

free access ends at week end, but i could even extend it some more days, if we try to organize another contest after CoinFest

sure, it's windows based and in Italy, not the best combo.
Actually I'm running 24/7 a Windows QT wallet there with an imported address just to look transactions at that address (and i had no problem of qt stuck tbh on that environment, talking about qt windows problem) but the OS + the QT wallet (limited to max 8 connections) already fill up most of the 3GB available RAM (and i've a single core CPU setup) so no much rooms for my game server scenarios... i need of course an alternative

The chain.huntercoin.org VPS is hosted by OVH and costs 20 Euro/month.  I don't think that it is only "barely" able to process incoming blocks, and I did sync from scratch there as well without too many problems.  Maybe your hosting is too expensive and you should look for an alternative.

Actually my clients run on windows only, so people would need to have a windows pc to run it (and i still have to find if compiling in Reach mode would solve the problem of old graphics card that can't run the game) but yes, that's the idea. Then I don't want to run too further but a chance of writing a new client that can be run on multiple platforms, maybe with remote hosted "automatic behaviours logic" in order to even lighten the power computer must have, could be a future improvement too. well, step by step and let see how community will react to what I'll do
