Really Nice game.... and it works! Sure a lot of improvements can be done, but the game is already admirable

	I like the game posted by Filbert @ 84.167.151.196 on Feb 7 2006 9:10 PM
I like the game! But, the map is quiet big, so it won't fit on the screen and i always have to scroll over the map to find the player icon.

	Client not initiating posted by Anonymous @ 213.16.212.15 on Jun 3 2005 1:25 PM
I've installed the game using the command "python setup.py install" without any problems (after resolving dependencies). I can initiate the server (although performing an nmap scan i don't see any localhost port open for the game). Also when i initiate the london-client program, i get the following error: "London Law does not appear to be installed. Attempting to launch client from current directory..." ..And the game never starts up. Any clues??

Re: Client not initiating posted by Galvatron @ 141.213.240.156 on Jun 25 2005 4:07 PM   I can initiate the server (although performing an nmap scan i don't see any localhost port open for the game). By default, nmap only displays "interesting" ports, and obscure things like London Law servers remain hidden. Did you try something like "nmap -p 7921 localhost"? Also when i initiate the london-client program, i get the following error: "London Law does not appear to be installed. Attempting to launch client from current directory..." ..And the game never starts up. Any clues?? I suspect your distribution has a broken Python package, which does not properly add the python site-packages/ directory to the python search path. But ignoring that for the moment, London Law should still execute out of the source directory if the installation gets borked. Did you execute "london-client" from the londonlaw subdirectory of the source archive? Were there any error messages? Also, this is a poor place for bug reports. Happypenguin doesn't provide email notice of new comments (only replies), so you won't get a response until I happen to check this page. You'll get a faster response by using the mailing list or emailing me directly.   [Reply]

Hi, just a short note that I am very happy to see this boardgame as computergame. I have been thinking about making this into a binary myself, but since I had to learn programming for it, it never came to that stage. I tried to 'install' but I got an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 5, in ? from distutils.core import setup ImportError: No module named distutils.core I read on the main page that for debian, I could use alien to make a .deb from the rpm. But.... where can i find the rpm??? Eric

I tried to startup the server and the client after I got the errormessage and everything seems to work, despite the 'error'. It looks good and I wish to give it 4 stars already. A few tips/comments: the black pin is sometimes difficult to see. Is it an option to center the pin who's move it is, or to center after clicking on the player? It would be nice if the move options get highlighted on the map and that you could click on the map where you want to go. Colours for each player: maybe a coloured bar behind the players' names for clarity When I start the server, it automatically takes 127.0.0.1 port 792. How can I change the ip address? Is there a public server to test this game over an internet connection Eric   [Reply]   Re: Good idea posted by Anonymous @ 141.213.240.156 on Nov 14 2004 3:22 PM   the black pin is sometimes difficult to see. Is it an option to center the pin who's move it is, or to center after clicking on the player? You can double-click on a player's icon to (approximately) center the map on that player. I decided that centering the map automatically could be a distraction. In the future, I hope to add some alpha-blended highlight/shadow effects to make the player markers more visible. It would be nice if the move options get highlighted on the map and that you could click on the map where you want to go. You can double-click on a target location, and the Move dialog will pop up with that location as a default. I agree that moves need to be highlighted on the map; it's on the TODO list. Colours for each player: maybe a coloured bar behind the players' names for clarity That's been suggested before. I'll think about it. When I start the server, it automatically takes 127.0.0.1 port 792. How can I change the ip address? Well, 127.0.0.1 refers to the local machine running the server. But the server actually binds to all IPs present on that machine, so it should work on a LAN or over the internet. Is there a public server to test this game over an internet connection Sorry, no. The server needs some redesign before it can be relied to run unattended for days on end. But send me an email if you want, and we can try to schedule a game...   [Reply]   Re: Good idea posted by Galvatron @ 141.213.240.156 on Nov 14 2004 3:25 PM   Sorry, didn't mean for that to be anonymous...   [Reply]   Re: Good idea posted by Anonymous @ 213.16.148.150 on Nov 14 2004 10:20 AM   cd londonlaw ./london-client London Law does not appear to be installed.

It's not technically necessary to run the installation in order to play, as long as the working directory is set to the subdirectory ./londonlaw/ .   [Reply]   Re: Good idea posted by ericsp @ 82.157.31.155 on Nov 15 2004 9:48 PM Hello, thank you for all the answers. Actually, I found out which package to install in order to get the installer for london law running (libwxgtk2.4-python). thanks again and I will email you to schedule a testgame Eric   [Reply]   re: distutils error (was: Good idea) posted by Anonymous @ 24.206.112.245 on Nov 15 2004 7:47 PM   New versions of Python come with distutils. Since yours doesn't, it's likely that your Python is substantially older than the developer's (and certain that it's well behind what could be called a "modern" build).   [Reply]
