Coldest: Absolute Zero - A continuation of the Open Source Mech game "Coldest"

Coldest: Absolute Zero

Coldest: Absolute Zero is a continuation/fork of the Open Source Mech Game Coldest by Cybertron.

Project Goals:

• Make the GUI optional/Skip GUI sections
• Update & add more mech models
• Update Sounds (Phase 1 Complete)
• Improve AI
• Joystick/Gamepad Controls (WIP)
• Create Dockerfile for Dedicated Servers
• Add documentation (WIP - https://github.com/kwadroke/coldestgame/wiki)
• Additional Maps including Urban settings
• Cockpit HUD (WIP/Placeholder)

Nice to haves:

• OpenGL ES port (Android & RPi)
  • Make it playable on Raspberry Pi (at least the Pi3)
• External Display via network for Mech Stats for Simpits
• Joystick/Gamepad controlled GUI

coldestgame's Issues

Hide Host button when already hosting on mainmenu.xml

Host button still shows up when already hosting. Should be replaced by Resume
This worked on SF.net version before moving button.

Power down on map start not working past first map

When a new map is loaded, after a match is completed, the Battle Frames aren't powered down. It works correctly on the first map, just not maps after that.

This is probably due to getting the SDL_GetTicks() and the IF statement not kicking off as there isn't any checking/resetting/comparison of the time since the new map began.

Riverside map team 2 base has an un-escapable hole beside it

If you are on Team 2 Base, there is a hole beside it where you can not escape.
Lower the Team 2 base so players can get out.

Spawn point/Base selections unavailable on some machines.

When you host a game (non-dedicated server), spawn points may not show up to be selected on map or drop down list. Spawn points show up fine when running connecting to a dedicated server, even when running on the same computer.

This problem happens constantly on a specific Dell Optiplex 990 with Intel i5 CPU with AMD Video card (lspci - [AMD/ATI] Redwood PRO) running Debian 8 64bit.. Works fine with Intel i3 with NVidia video card on Debian 8 64Bit.

[Client] Can not shutdown a server unless game is exited

You an only join or resume a currently running server once started in the Client, unless the game is completely exited
Make a way to shutdown the server once started in the GUI.

Add screenshot to ReadMe

For people browsing repository, add screenshot to Readme so people know what the game looks like.

Make trees able to be destroyed

When you shoot or try to walk through trees, the tree still stands and blocks your way. Currently they are indestructible.
Make trees able to be destroyed when shooting or walking through them.

Python Scripts are using Python2

Python2 is no longer supported. Migrate Python Scripts to Python3.

Use 2to3 to convert them to Python3 scripts.

Remove Facebook and Gitter from GH-Pages

Need to remove Gitter and Facebook from https://kwadroke.github.io/coldestgame

Migrate to SDL2

Code is currently using SDL1. Migrate to SDL2, or at least add instructions for SDL1.2-compatibility (SDL12-compat)

Python Scripts for Decicated Server using QT4

Migrate to current QT6.

Bots fires when no direct line of sight

The AI (Bots) fire no matter towards an enemy weither if they see an enemy or enemy base or not.
Make Bots only fire when direct line of sight of enemy.

Xerces-C 2.x no longer supported

Need to migrate to Xerces-C 3 as 2.x is no longer supported.

Until migration is complete, add 2.8 note and instructions.

Text not visable on older Intel Video Card

Text is not visible on older Intel embedded video cards. Logo is also not showing up. Probably an issue with OpenGL & the Intel Driver.

Might not be able to fix. If not need to list as an unsupported video card.

Allow builds for other platforms besides X86_64, i686

In Updater.cpp add i386 and ARM (Raspberry Pi/ODroid/etc) support.

(Might just be better to remove/move Updater.cpp from regular builds.)

Game Time shows time of client start, not server map start

Currently the Game Time time show time of client start. It should show time from the server.
It was originally tested from a Client Hosted server instead of a dedicated server & connecting a client.

Caused by commit: 233b277
Fix: Have server send time as a packet.

(FYI - Server sends the Power down/up timer properly.)
