Same load up problems on 7.3c as 7.3b. No options for connecting to game, just go's straight to game screen.

What is the official process for downloading new patches. I tend to go from the topic in Chat, but now both the last two patches have had bugs, Shoul I wait for an official announcement on FumBBL ? Who posts the 'topic' in chat ?

We do. And usually it works very well. I wonder if this is a common problem or a milnestar special one... Wink

Okay, the problem seems to be with people using java 1.3.x. I've finally had to switch over from using JBuilder 4 to using Eclipse to build the project. JBuilder 4 was stuck using JRE 1.3.x. It was built into the install of jbuilder. Eclispse uses whatever JRE I have installed. Currently I have 1.4.1_03. And even though I am telling it to produce 1.3.x compatible code it doesn't appear to be doing so. So it is possible that everyone will have to upgrade their JRE. You can upgrade it here:
http://www.java.com and click on "Get it Now".

Are there any platforms out there that people use that do not have a 1.4.x version of the JRE for it?

Try IntelliJ (you can keep getting evaluation licences) its by far the best Java IDE I've ever used.

Its really easy to switch between JDKs (you can use a different one for the IDE than the program you are developing) and its got fantastic support for refactoring, JUnit and lots of other good stuff.

Yes - thanks SkiJunkie. By upgrading my Java everything is working fine. Can we post that somewhere so everyone knows ? I know of a few people that were having problems

I'm pretty much stuck using what is used at work, which currently is Eclispe, and used to be JBuilder. Eclipse can be pointed to use other JDKs as well. But I had to uninstall JDK 1.3.x because it was causing problems with JRE 1.4.1_03 for some reason (which again, I need for work).

Older version of OS X (10.1.x) can only upgrade as far as 1.3.1.

That's a pretty microscopic audience, however, and I mention it more for the sake of people who have issues than to try to get you to change, Ski. Unfortunately it includes me at work. Time to nag the IT guy for an upgrade, I guess.

I had the same problems with the "old" java and couldn't get the starting screen in the client, but it was possible to start a game using the "play" button on fumbbl.com. Maybe this works too for people with this OS BadMrMojo was mentioning.

No such luck. The "Play" button requires 1.4.x already.

Code:
    <j2se version="1.4" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
    <j2se version="1.4+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>

Ah, but all the play button is really doing is calling the java executable with a couple of command line options, iirc. I expect you could make a shortcut to call it with the same options to get around this problem if you are using a version of OS X that can't upgrade to the current JRE.

Depends on what features ski is using in the code. Might be some 1.4 functions.. Wink

Yeah, what Klipp said Mojo. Try launching it from a command line and adding the setup parameters there to see if it works. I think they are all in the readme.txt file. If not let me know and I'll tell you what they are.

I'm not using any 1.4 specific functions yet.

Although I did a test, and the field can repaint about 10-12 more frames per second on my machine compiled for 1.4 and run on 1.4 vs compiled for 1.3 and run on 1.4. Not that you can really notice that though.

No such luck.
Code:
lehler% java -jar Bbowl-7.3c.jar -tserver -hfumbbl.com -p8081 -rhttp://fumbbl.com/teams/9th+Circle+Radii-ii.html -gluketest

yields...
Code:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
        at bbowl.i.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at bbowl.y.aj(Unknown Source)
        at bbowl.y.access$1(Unknown Source)

        at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:93)
        at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:85)

I'd be thrilled if it was just me being an idiot but I think I got it right.
