General discussion / Re: How to launch FIFE on Ubuntu Linux?

« on: April 22, 2013, 06:16:01 am »

Heya TurtleyWurtley!

FIFE is a library to build games on top of, so the only "programs" in that sense you will find are demos shipped with FIFE and tools such as the editor. If you installed `python-fife`, that means you have the python bindings available now. So for instance you could, in any python environment, type `import fife` and use FIFE there.

I'm not sure about the exact layout of the debianoid packages currently, but for more hints about all of this, maybe try to locate `rio de hola` (one of the demos) or check out the python tutorials at https://github.com/fifengine/python-tutorials.

Heya Sejten,

I'd be interested in checking your work provided you can find a usable hosting platform for it.

Framework development / Re: FIFE Wiki Updates and Usage

« on: January 18, 2013, 11:47:12 pm »

Some comments on UH.

We're actually considering moving over our wiki (or select pieces of it) to github, transitioning mediawiki to markdown in the process. I personally am a huge fan of anything not-MW and it really didn't work well for us. Honestly not sure what the best way of organizing FIFE docs by version is, but that would be the only legitimate use case i can think of here.

Same for our forums which are currently under spam bot siege and our admin doesn't have enough time at hands currently to deal with that. We would prefer a solution that hooks up github accounts here as well and are looking for ways to achieve that.

won't go into detail here but UH is also considering to archive its current mediawiki and put the most relevant stuff into a github wiki instead. i heartily endorse mediawiki opposers :-)

we're also looking for a cms that actually suits our needs but i'm pretty sure it will not end up being wordpress from what others report currently.

Framework development / Re: Forking Guichan

« on: March 26, 2012, 04:59:37 pm »

Above link points to an idea for last year's GSoC.

The current idea is found here:
http://wiki.unknown-horizons.org/w/Ideas_2012/Guichan_and_Pychan_improvements

A fork of any kind should start with the current guichan HEAD (which is closer to 0.9 than 0.8.2 i think) and for that we'd probably want to get guichan to work with FIFE at all. Given the changes that seem to have happened after their last official release, i doubt this will be a painless update (but is still important).

Introduce yourself / Re: Greetings from China

« on: March 23, 2012, 12:37:15 pm »

Heya nifabric and welcome!

As prock mentioned, we always love to include new translations in Unknown Horizons. There already is a Japanese translation project, extending this to also support Chinese would be awesome.
The font we use for CJKV languages is Arphic UMing (and deciding on the font was actually the hardest part in supporting non-ASCII languages, as you mentioned FIFE just works).

If you're interested in contributing, check our online translation server pootle, especially the zh_CN project. You're also invited to join our IRC channel #unknown-horizons and chat with a lot of other developers.

All the best,
Chris
