NoLifeStory

[retep998]

Do you plan on fully completing this? :3

I have plans that go far beyond merely "completing" NoLifeStory.
However, yes, I do intend to at least get NLS to the point of a complete setup with working servers and clients that people can use and play on.

He plans on it, but it'll never happen.

 

[AngraMainyu]

He plans on it, but can't into networking.

fixed

It wouldn't surprise me if NLS eventually got a release version, but if you're thinking about online play then I got some news for you son.

NoLifeWzToNx now works for creating nx files for servers, although it still doesn't handle bitmaps/audio.
If people could test it out and make sure it works with every single wz file they can find, as well as testing the resulting nx files with servers and other programs that use nx files, that would be great.

I would gladly test it, although I've struggled with compiling it. If you could set up a compiling bot like what was done

You must be registered to see links

then that would be helpful for people like me who can't figure out how to set up the dependencies and would rather not own a copy of VS 10.

Edit: Er, I just noticed that you updated the first post with a new download. I do think that more people would check it out if there were regularly compiled versions (perhaps you update them whenever there is something to update in which case carry on).

VS 2013 RC, not VS 2010.
And yes, I do update that download link every time I fix or add stuff.

Oh great! And thanks for the quick reply. I have one more question. I may just be missing a DLL or something, but currently when I start NoLifeClient, it crashes. I have tried my NX files from the Beta and from version 140. Both versions seem to crash when I start. The nx files are in the same folder as the client. Maybe I need VS runtime files or something. Although it didn't tell me what the problem is. It just said windows couldn't find a solution.

Do the NX files come with audio and bitmaps, because NoLifeWzToNx does not yet convert audio and bitmaps, yet NoLifeClient depends on them being there. It's not a runtime issue because otherwise it would tell you it was missing a DLL. As long as your OS is 64-bit and is Vista or newer, I can't possibly imagine what other issues you might have unless.... are you by any chance using horrendous intel graphics?
For the next version, which I'm currently working on, I've made figuring out why it doesn't work a lot easier:

#include "game.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#ifdef _WIN32
#  include <Windows.h>
#endif


int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
#ifdef _WIN32
    if (IsDebuggerPresent()) {
        nl::game::play();
    } else {
#endif
        try {
            std::freopen("NoLifeClient.log", "a", stderr);
            std::freopen("NoLifeClient.log", "a", stdout);
            nl::game::play();
        } catch (std::exception e) {
            std::cerr << "Uncaught exception: " << e.what() << std::endl;
        } catch (...) {
            std::cerr << "Unknown exception!" << std::endl;
        }
#ifdef _WIN32
    }
#endif
}

Oh right. I don't know why I made that mistake. It was the bitmap and audio thing. Thanks for your help.

I have tried off and on over the last few month since this began. I really have no idea how to install the dependencies to get the project solution to build. Here are my current errors. Any help would be appreciated. I would love to edit some of the code but I can't do that if I can't build the project. :

This is still under development? :3

i guess so cus i see people having some errors.

Actually, people are having errors because they're failing to build as they're missing dependencies. Nevertheless, it is still under development whenever Peter is not lazy ;D.

I am mainly just interested in being able to remove the colorful lines that show boundaries and being able to make the character invisible. Those two things would allow for the maps to be used in videos as backgrounds. While holding shift, we would have camera movement. I am interested in using this for filming.

I would do it in the code if I could just get the project to build, but I can't seem to figure that out.

Try to go on fyrechat irc, #vana channel, ask Peter directly there - he'd be able to help. And that's a great idea!

well do u think all these people whom r failing are stupid ? cus im not ._.

Again, you're more than welcome to ask the creator - Peter, on vana irc at fyrechat.

The problem is that getting all the dependencies for NoLifeStory, and mucking about with git submodules, is a complex pain in the butt.
I already switched everything over to a single repo system to make it easier to download NoLifeStory, and I'm currently working on an SDK so people building NLS on Windows don't need to figure out all the dependencies themselves.

 

[Rey]

@Fraysa : oh okay thanks !

@Retep998 : i will soooo wait for ur release we all do ..... *and im not mucking from this*

 

[ricee]

i see the development progress of NLS is living up to its name
