HP Pavilion Entertainment PC
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel (R) Core (TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66 GHz
2.0 GB RAM
32 bit operating system

Actually I got this computer for some other people to try and do coin stuff with. Was going to set up Huntercoin client and Mithril then let them use it. They are people who do not have easy access to a computer, for various reasons, and if I got Huntercoin running on this computer there would probably be someone on the computer playing 24/7.

Is there an older version of some client that might allow this computer to mine HUC?


All Qt client windows builds are 32bit, don't even know what a GPU is, and allow all CPU threads to idle if idle (so old laptop won't die heat death).

"Biggest" Qt version with extended gamestate need ~680MB memory, and win7 with crap disabled ("foobar diag something service", "windows search") less than 800MB if on a machine with 2GB of physical memory. It will probably take 30+ minutes to get the node up and running though.

Perhaps try a different OS. It's always easy to go back to Windows7 (has this official 120 days demo version, 32bit iso too)

I don't quite get the 1.3.01 rules; if i destruct near an enemy who costed 200HUC and holds 30HUC, will he drop 230HUC? Will i die?
And what does the "Hunters Value will be refunded upon Disaster" mean? If they destroy my hunter will i be refunded 200HUC? But then i won't drop the 200 HUC will i?

if your opponent is destructed and dies, he will drop 0.9*30 HUC and your hunter value goes from 200 to 400 (and be refunded 400 in case of Disaster)

Developer!
not sure why mm client doesn't work

my client is compiled to use HiDef profile graphics card, means that graphics cards need to have some technical (pretty basic tbh) features in order to be run
HiDef cards are the ones compatible with DirectX 10

I could try compiling another version using Reach profile but I'm not sure the game will work (without changes) and anyway it will have performance cons

edit:
a technical link:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/shawnhar/2010/03/12/reach-vs-hidef/

i could try if Reach is enough and in case release that version too if needed, but need time and so I'll do it after the release of the upcoming version

which laptop model is it?
what cpu/gpu?
windows version? (32bit/64bit)

guessing, laptop doesn't support hardware acceleration and the clients need it..

not sure why mm client doesn't work but looks like the unity client has been build for 64bit, i will check if i can build as 32bit

try this "live map" and see if this works (this is definitely 32bit)

For somebody on an older laptop

Mithril client

No suitable graphics card found.

Could not find a Direct3d device that supports the XNA Framework HiDef profile.

Verify that a suitable graphics device is installed.

Make sure the desktop is not locked and no other application is running in full screen mode.

Avoid running under remote desktop or as a Windows service.

Check the display properties to make sure hardware acceleration is set to Full.

The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's System Information to see whether you need an x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64 bit) version of the program then contact the software publisher.

Brand new laptop. Just got it from a recycling center for $70.

It's been a while, but I've just updated the blockchain download at chain.huntercoin.org.
WTF, I just downloaded the whole thing yesterday!

Sorry! Cheesy  You can use the FTP access to download only those files that have changed (via their timestamp).

will look tomorrow.
You can't tell without thinking if woken up at 4am? Wink



Coolyo, thanks. I'm thinking about trying to do a roguelike/ascii representation of the map...go in the opposite direction of wiggi Smiley

I'm actually a big fan of roguelike ascii representation, even if semi transparent fireballs will look better on RockPaperShotgun.

Nice! Also would be great to have a simple "Let's Play" video to show the regular gameplay and fun of the game to people who have not yet played the game.

I also have not played it yet and would love such video. Smiley



i found this demo video on MithrilMan's website. edit: looks like its a year old, but maybe it can get you started
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXRDz0JAsFM&feature=youtu.be

yes it's pretty valid except that now you can have just one hunter per team, so i simplified the GUI to just show a list of what previous were called "generals".
And hearts doesn't exists anymore too.
moreover i'm not so fluent in english so this could impact the video understanding, I need to create proper tutorials divided by sections, but this would be lot of work that actually i can't handle, so if anyone want to contribute contact me or just create your own live show using the client (something like the games shown on twitch, with live sessions

This is what i would like to do too, record a game session, problem is that i've a daily job and a little daughter and finding the time to be able to free speach (during night) and have time isn't easy Smiley

I know some video game focused YouTubers who most likely would be down for creating a nice lets play video, such as:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0bWdTxyw5I

Let me know what you think and I can help you with that. Smiley

Just a quick few questions to the developers and wallet developers like Wiggi and MithrilMan:

Is everything you use for displaying the game board and looking at what move(s) other players are about to make taken from the "game_getstate" call? Or do you also have to look at the mempool and decode pending txs?

Also, how can you tell which tiles are impassible?

hi mate.

yes everything is in game_getstate
except moves which are not in the chain which come from name_pending
the obstacle layer is in one of source files map.cpp or something similar.
will look tomorrow.

The CoinFest Challenge will be a great opportunity to get some gameplay footage, what with everyone fighting for the prize--we should make sure to do that.

Speaking of which, we got a lot of great feedback on our poll to decide the rules of the Challenge, and so more details will be announced soon... we could use more votes, though, so the poll is still open. GO HERE to cast your vote and make your voice heard before it's too late.
