there's no music. if you click the "note" icon, sound effects are on

it's a small icon in the lower right

oh OK

yeah it plays now

I didn't do that when I started, didn't see it

Oh OK it's just because I left off -output

it's working now

but the icon is some default java thing?

Didn't specify an icon to start because it needs to be an .icns

OK it works but there is one problem: the profiles get saved inside the bundle since that's its working directory, so you'll need to tell SteamCloud where those are

I'll see if I can make the icon

@quartata you don't need to do that; if you've verified that it works, that's great. I still need local access to an OS X machine before I can think about putting an OS X version on Steam

Oh all right

Thanks a lot for your help. Please let me know if you have any other feedback. Otherwise, it's yours, feel free to just play it.

Oh, well thank you

I'll probably buy a copy anyways just to have it in my library but

BTW to make the icon just rename the icons you already have from icon<res>.png to icon_<resxres>.png, then run iconutil -c icns icons.iconset

you'll need to rename the directory icons to icons.iconset, it's very particular about the extension

you might want to include some more sizes also

The command I used to build:

java -jar packr.jar --platform mac --jdk zulu8.23.0.3-jdk8.0.144-macosx_x64.zip --executable Tametsi --classpath tametsi-1-202.jar --icon icons.icns --mainclass launcher.Launcher --minimizejre soft --output Tametsi.app

got the JRE from here zulu.org/download

Thanks. I'm making a note of all of this in one of my development notes files

no problem

@quartata it's going to be as cheap as it can be starting around tomorrow, if you want to buy a copy. I'm also going to be giving some away in here

@EricTressler What exactly is it?

@Mego store.steampowered.com/app/709920

It's like a hexagonal minesweeper. The board starts with some tiles revealed as clues

Anonymous

Oh that looks neat

no guessing about where the mines are

it's pretty hard

I mean, I wasn't ever great at minesweeper but

@Mego I'm giving out some copies tomorrow, if you want one (I think it'll be tomorrow, it depends on when exactly the Steam winter sale starts)

@EricTressler woops, I got an error turning on the sound with the compiled version

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/media/sound/JDK13Services

Sounds like this build of OpenJDK is missing that

if it's a sun. class

let me try another JRE

@EricTressler I would graciously accept a copy :)

Anonymous

I'd even write a fair and honest review

thanks; I won't hold you to that

@DJMcMayhem Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I'm 16, yeah.

4:13 PM

Am can into Factorio!

...I need to stop reading so much polandball

@Mego @Christopher2EZ4RTZ sorry, it looks like I was wrong about the date of the Steam sale, it's going to probably start on Dec. 21. That's when I'm going to pick up a bunch of copies to give away.

I'm up for multiplayer Factorio tonight. 10 PM EST seems like a good time (for me anyway).

@El'endiaStarman what is the goal of multiplayer factorio. Is it coop or competitive?

@EricTressler The game we have going at the moment is co-op, but I think you can do PvP as well.

Anonymous

You can do competitive, but it requires mucking around with settings and admin commands to set players on different teams

Then you get fun stuff like being mauled by a wall of laser turrets

AdmBorkBork

Laser turrets spike power draw. Gun turrets are better. :p

Anonymous

Yeah but you can get physical damage resistance with armor. Nothing has laser damage reduction.

I assume the player's defensive capabilities are higher than offensive? I haven't gotten into any of the researched technologies, but it looked like mostly base defenses and some guns

So there aren't, for example, tanks you can deploy to take out turrets?

Anonymous

@EricTressler A lot of the early-to-mid-game stuff is defensive - keeping the bugs away. In the late game, you have stuff like nukes and uranium ammo that can easily wipe out enemy nests.

oh, ok

@EricTressler Not quite. There's an artillery train now with 0.16, but it only targets enemy spawners (not enemy units). I don't know how it works with enemy players.

@Mego Only targets enemy spawners on auto-aim, you mean? I got the impression you could aim it anywhere manually.

Anonymous

However, there are tanks, and those tanks can fire uranium shells. It's very satisfying.

Anonymous

@El'endiaStarman Yes, that. Manual aiming works just like a tank (but with a larger range).

@Pavel Aaagh. I played dokidoki last night. What the actual crap.

I don't know how to respond

I played it in one sitting, and finished it at 2 AM last night. At 3 AM I was sitting on my bed refusing to turn the lights off and unable to fall asleep

I don't want to say too much cause spoilers, but that was one of the most interesting and unusual games I have ever played

HAHAHAHAH

See? Interesting part is totally different.

DJMcMayhem

@Pavel Could we talk more over discord? I don't want to spoil anything

Just read the plot on Wikipedia. Jeeez. Wasn't planning on playing it before, definitely not playing it now.

Riker

dokidoki is amazing

@El'endiaStarman you should do it

@Riker No, I won't. I don't have time to waste on games I don't think I'd enjoy.

5:25 PM

@Riker not once he's read the plot on Wikipedia

Anonymous

@El'endiaStarman As did I. Good lord.

I like the concept of the game, but I don't think I'd like the execution

Anyone play the old point-and-click Sanitarium?
