Cataclysm: Looming Darkness

Cataclysm: Looming Darkness

A multiplayer rewrite of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead in python.

Made with python 3.9.0 64 bit and Mastermind for the TCP backend.

Discord is back online. - https://discord.gg/qvz5py9v7m

---

A playable release is coming soon and will follow an episodic pattern, with each release adding more:

• Chapter 1 - Immediately after the cataclysm. This will be the minimum playable product.
• Chapter 2 - Vehicles. One of the more complex - and enjoyable - systems in C:DDA.
• Chapter 3 - Bionics and Mutations. The main sci-fi elements of the game brought to multiplayer.
• Chapter 4+ - Continued expansion, maps, and content.

---

Generic installation instructions

---

• install python 3.9 64bit or greater on any OS that supports it. (python 2 not supported at this time.)
• download or clone the repository.

Running a server

• execute python3 ./server.py from a command line in the directory that was created

The first time you start the server a world is generated automatically using default settings. This does take a few minutes or longer on older hardware. Newer hardware should be less than 10 seconds.

connecting to a server.

• Download Godot 3.5.2 and import the project from the /GodotClient/ folder.
• Run the program and connect to a server.

the server is outputting status info and showing my selected 'name':

RuntimeError: Gui(id=0278) is only 854x528, but its children are 466x608

I just downloaded the lastest build. Then I installed all the required packages with pip.
I could start a server just fine, it even says "Started up Cataclysm: Looming Darkness Server".

But when I try to start the client, I get this:

(I copied the whole error just to be sure I got the important bit)

I don't know exactly caused this error, it may be entirely my fault. But maybe it somehow helps.
I can't wait to play this with a couple of friends or even other people online.

File Not Found Error on Server Start

Hey, I get FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory: './world/0_0.chunk' when I run python3 ./server.py on both Windows and Linux Mint machines.

AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_INET'

My python script works when I run it manually in Spyder. Nowadays I use a bat file as automated and scheduled. Previously it worked but since I format my computer it stopped to work.
It says : AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_INET'

see pic. Not sure if that work?

I cant seem to start the server

Proper installation and run instructions are needed

Currently the only prerequisite seems to be pygame, but even still, for people unfamiliar with python who don't have pip installing it and running the game (or wysiwyg) may be cumbersome.

Short term this can be solved by proving clear step-by-step instructions on how to install and run the game, such as:

1. install python (link)
2. install pip (link)
3. install pygame (howto)
4. run the game

In the future it's probably the best to have some kind of setup script that does all the dirty work.

Project structure reorganization

As project is growing it's sensible to organize the codebase into scalable directory structure.

I don't have a strong opinion on how exactly to structure the code, but I guess anything is better than no structure. Perhaps we can start with something as simple as:

 ./src/
 ./test/
 ./asset/

Or maybe separate subtrees for different subprojects:

  ./common
      ./src/
      ./test/
      ./asset/
  ./wysiswg
      ./src/
      ./test/
      ./asset/
  ./client
      ./src/
      ./test/
      ./asset/
  ./server
      ./src/
      ./test/
      ./asset/

Stackoverflow link for inspiration

Getting error "AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'TCP_KEEPIDLE'" when trying to run server

Full traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "server.py", line 1020, in <module>
    server.connect(ip, port)
  File "C:\dev\python37\CataclysmLD\Mastermind\_mm_server.py", line 142, in connect
    self._mm_make_connection(ip, port)
  File "C:\dev\python37\CataclysmLD\Mastermind\_mm_server.py", line 252, in _mm_make_connection
    socket.IPPROTO_TCP, socket.TCP_KEEPIDLE, 1
AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'TCP_KEEPIDLE'

This seems to be an issue with the socket library as indicated by this other issue:
websocket-client/websocket-client#75

Mastermind seems to be the culprit, since it's there that these settings are set:

def _mm_make_connection(self, ip, port):
    ...
    self._mm_unconnected_socket.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_TCP, socket.TCP_KEEPIDLE, 1)

Use Cataclysm executable as base for server

What do you think about using the functions of the Cataclysm DDA executable for the server? I think that calling some functions through ctypes could benefit this project by not having to reimplement functionalities from scratch (at least in the short term). Here is an example that I made with one_in() function:

from ctypes import CDLL
# Change for the path of the executable, I suppose that in Windows it should work the same
cataclysm = CDLL("/usr/bin/cataclysm")
# Results
>>> cataclysm._Z6one_ini(100)
0
>>> cataclysm._Z6one_ini(15)
0

one_in can be used transparently since it accepts an integer as a parameter and returns 0 or 1 (at least if the parameter is less than 200), although with functions that handle custom data types (such as objects) more work may be needed.
To know the functions that the executable exports you can use DLL Export Viewer in Windows or the following command in Linux:

nm -D /path/to/the/cataclysm/bin | grep -E "[a-f0-9]+ T"

If you consider the idea viable, in the long run you could create a library that only contains the necessary functions (although at the moment you could put the path of the executable in server.cfg).

Does it work on android version?

Can I get instructions?

Error on connecting with a fresh server

I download the current build, commit 84f1f08, and installed everything.
After starting the server for the first time and connecting, the server displayed this error:

Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "..\src\worldmap.py", line 156, in get_tile_by_position
for tile in self.WORLDMAP[x_count][y_count][z].tiles:
KeyError: 7

The actual error was a bit longer, but I cut it down to what I believe are the essentials.
All required libraries seem to be installed. The player window shows a bunch of dirt tiles if that helps.

How does this works?

Yes, that's my question, how does this works

Are you guys still working on this?

Its kinda been a while since last update

game controls?

Hello, I just launched the game and even a friend connected to me, but we don't know the controls, could you suggest it?

Make Playable Chapter 1, as mentioned in the description.

What actually needs to be done to make this playable? I don't see any open issues. So I am not sure what you are aiming at in the short term other than "Multiplayer"

I am interested in trying to help since I have been programming in python for a bit. But, I am not really sure what to do other than just trawling through the code till I grok it and then trying to add stuff or make stuff work?
Oh, I found the project to-do. Welp, I guess I can try working off that?

I am guessing making scenarios load? Or trying to impement crafting components, monsters, and areas? Is that not even started yet? Is there a structure for any of that. Or does something need to be done from scratch. If so, do you have an idea how you want to structure that? I could probably look into how the map is represented when it comes to trying to make that.
That appears to be done since you mentioned having all your map gen. As well as basic player logic done.
