2.1.x has been being worked on for some time now, but I guess you can call this the "official" start.Goodbye2U wrote:Anyway, does this mark the start of the production of the 2.1.x line?

Is there going to be a version 3 in the future? Is there going to be another major fix for bugs?

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.

Presumably there will be a version 3, but from looking at the past that is going to be a long way off.MonsterMan++ wrote:Is there going to be a version 3 in the future? Is there going to be another major fix for bugs?
The next planned release is 2.2, but only super major bugs will be fixed in 2.0.x (such as a new listserver or it starts crashing on 90% of BZFlag users).

The 2.1 development line began shortly after 2.0.0 was released. All of the 2.1 versions are solely developer versions and are not released. When we start stabilizing and get ready to do another major (backwards incompatible) update, the 2.1 line becomes 2.2.0 whenever we finally release. That is not for quite a while, though, i.e. not for several months. If we're consistent with our traditional major release schedule, we're looking at sometime around the end of this calendar year.

I installed a fresh 2.0.8 overtop a 2.0.6 install, then uninstalled the 2.0.6. I'm getting the following error when I try to run BZFlag now (WinXP SP2):
I also get the same error if I uninstall 2.0.8 (so no versions of bzflag anywhere on my pc) and reinstall.
I don't know if it's just me or what...since I got this error directly after a brand-new bz install, I thought I'd report it...BZFlag Error wrote:No fonts found (the -directory option may help) Exiting

More than likely, it's not really 1 or 2. It usually can't find the fonts or other data resources because there is a "directory" directive in your bzflag config file. You more than likely had a config file that pointed to the 2.0.6 data directory but since you've now uninstalled it, it no longer exists. Hence the error. Open your config file in a text editor and edit or remove the "directory" line.

Who's releasing them? You Jeff? Or is Tim Riker still working?

How do you guys get together? Have you any idea what 2.2 will be like?

The developers pretty much live in the IRC channel, #bzflag on the Freenode network -- there are instructions elsewhere on the forums and elsewhere on the net for how to connect to IRC (http://irchelp.org might be a place to start).
We have a pretty good idea of what 2.2 will be like, but it is a fluid process, constantly changing. It's very dependent on what the current priorities in the game are and what the interests of all of the capable developers are. Either way, this discussion thread isn't appropriate for talking about what may or may not go into 2.2, it's to announce 2.0.8.

This works:
bzflag -directory "/PathToYourFile/bzflagVersion/data/"
Bzflag finds everything in .../data but doesn't find ..../data/fonts file, maybe the data directory part "PlatformFactory::getMedia()->getMediaDirectory()"
