background images fail sometimes

KotCzarny — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 14:00:44 -0000

1/ start game normally, tiles are ok
2/ maximize window, tiles are scaled, some may be missing (like failed tile loading/scaling)
3/ unmaximize, tiles are ok again

so, i have two questions:
1/ what causes the bug?
2/ if i use higher resolution tiles, then after maximizing they are scaling nicely, yet they aren't scaled on initial window. can images be handled by scaling algo always, regardless of window size? that would result in nicer graphics :)

no way out on discard screen

KotCzarny — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:56:06 -0000

no way to reset selected resources on 'discard resources' screen, yet it is possible to click more than needed to discard which results in inactive submit button

Connect resets

mc6809e — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:55:50 -0000

On slower links, client will reset connection with server.

Dump of traffic shows reset is coming from host machine.

Doesn't seem to correlate with anything in particular from the server.

Intermittent nature of the resets combined with the fact that they are more frequent of slower/saturated may suggest race condition somewhere.

Periodic Crash after Robbing Player

If presented with a choose player dialog, sometimes game will hang after choosing a button. Trace below:

Time Limit - Game Destroyed

John Paynter — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 02:48:13 -0000

Was playing a game tonight and got the error message
in the status window (or whatever you call the topmost
text display) "The time limit on this game has expired
and will now be destroyed". It caused the game to
terminate. Which is very sad as I had the point lead.

The obvious question - is there a built in time limit
on games? I think we were around 1.5 hours in when it
occured (connection time to the game window). I don't
see anything mentioning one so I'll include as much
detail as I can.

- I was running the Server with no user database or
MySQL driver.
- Counting myself 5 clients were connected (1 observer)
- The message was displayed almost instantly after 1
player was disconnected (got dropped). He was able to
rejoin the active channel but not the game
- java version "1.5.0_06" (build 1.5.0_06-b05) running
on a Windows 2000 Pro system
- we had 1 previous game that was aborted during setup.
- Total server up time was betwen 2.5-3 hours

If there are any other details that I can fill in just
ask.

Below is the text from the server and client windows.
I don't see anything relevant but including on the off
chance it could help.

Wrong resource received

iN8sWoRld — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 01:17:18 -0000

Playing as debug against three robots as described in
the readme. Noticed that at one point, a 5 and a 3
were rolled, which according to the hex colors should
have given all those who had settlements adjacent to
the brown hex with a 3 one wood. However, these
players received one Ore instead.

See attached screenshot for example.

Unable to place settlement

mtritterbusch — Wed, 15 Jun 2005 12:45:22 -0000

I'm new to this game, but if I understand the rules
correctly (plus the fact that the robot AI is able to do it),
I should be able to place a settlement on the outer
edges of the playing board, including at a port (providing,
of course, it is at least 2 roads away from any other
settlement and I have the resources for it).

Anyway, I am unable to place a settlement on the outer
edge of the playing board.

Quitting and Rejoining Problems

Ryan Herbert — Fri, 25 Feb 2005 03:40:09 -0000

If you quit the game in the middle of certain actions,
the game does not let you continue when you rejoin.

For example, if you play a road building card, quit,
and rejoin, you will not be able to place your roads.
You also will not be able to see any of your pieces,
and you will not be able to complete your turn and the
game will be frozen.

New Java makes scroll window not scroll

Tubby Bartles — Wed, 23 Feb 2005 19:47:34 -0000

The text window that shows game events (ROBOT1's
turn, ROBOT2 received 1 Wheat, etc.) doesn't scroll
anymore after I installed the new Java version. I have to
manually scroll to the bottom now.

Chat scrolling broken in java 1.5

Chad McHenry — Tue, 22 Feb 2005 15:14:04 -0000

Sacha Peter points out that when using the JSettlers
client with Java 1.5, the message windows on the top of
the applet does not scroll automatically unless if you
explicitly bring focus upon the window.

This is a bug with java:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=500340.
The only known workaround is to explicitly change focus
to the chat when text is being appended, scroll, and
switch the focus back afterward.
