Bugzilla Bug 96647

The build seems to have changed a bit since the last release.  Java help
needed.

Created an attachment (id=61691) [edit]
in-progress: triplea-0.6.0.ebuild

Here's an attempt at an ebuild, but it still needs some work

There's a new library dependency, which I created a bug and ebuild for.
jgoodies-looks is now used in favor of jgoodies-looks-bin.
Tweaked RDEPEND/DEPEND: jdk should only be in DEPEND, and jre in DEPEND
Added doc useflag, for misc docs and javadoc.
Now installs triplea.jar with java-pkg_dojar, and updated the wrapper scripts
to reflect this.

Problems that remain:
When attempting to start a game, the following exception occurs:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: resource not
found:/games/strategy/triplea/image/images/maps/classic/smallMap.jpeg
	at games.strategy.triplea.image.MapImage.loadImage(MapImage.java:48)
	at games.strategy.triplea.image.MapImage.loadMaps(MapImage.java:92)
	at games.strategy.triplea.image.MapImage.loadMaps(MapImage.java:84)
	at games.strategy.triplea.ui.TripleAFrame.<init>(TripleAFrame.java:123)

	at games.strategy.triplea.TripleA.startGame(TripleA.java:90)
	at
games.strategy.engine.framework.ui.LauncherFrame$6.run(LauncherFrame.java:343)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)

I'm not really familar with resources in Java, nor the inner workings of
triplea, so I'm unsure of how to fix this.

hmmm.  brown-paper-bag release from upstream.

Brown paper bag?

If you are wondering about what was changed this is posed on the front page of
http://triplea.sourceforge.net/

 users have found an un-expected bug dealing with aircraft landing [ref
1225276]. This bug was quickly fixed and tested.

We are pushing out a micro-release of TripleA version 0.6.0.1. This includes the
bug fix and allows for cross compatibility of saved games between v0.6.0 and
v0.6.0.1 only.

That bug made the game pretty much unplayable.

triplea_ai doesn't work for me.  After starting up a game with all AIs and me
playing russia, the game has lots of java issues and eventually stops with some
kind of stack problem.  Is it upstream's problem or the ebuild?

can you paste the output? i can't get it todo anything wrong

Nonworking AI is an upstream problem.

It's abandoned, out of date code and according to the devs was never much of an
usable AI anyway (too stupid).
You can read about it on the upstream webforum.

on my system i can't get it to gives error. if the AI is any good or not
doesn't 
really matter

the stack problem is fairly common on hardended systems, and we have no
solution 
for those. (nobody in java team uses hardended, and they aren't very friendly)

but if there are other errors before it, or you're not on a hardended toolchain
 ...

java errors

pretty ugly but there it is.

that just looks like an infinite loop/recursion

can you reproduce this easy? (how?)

i blame upstream

Here's how to reproduce the problem:

start triplea_ai
set all players to computer except for russia, then start the game.
don't roll for tech (just click done)
buy all infantry for production
move all available troops into the Ukraine
start the battle... error.

Anyway i was thinking of a diffrend stack error in my previeus comments

it is definitly broken upstream code and they say it is broken too
so i would just remove the triplea_ai wrapper

Im a developer for TripleA.  The ai is hopelessly hooped, and shouldnt be
enabled.  The ai is enabled by passing -Dtriplea.ai=true, this should be removed.

This bug,

http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=62419

Is from the ai being turned on.

ok it's in there.  Thanks for the ebuild axxo.
