cbmeeks Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What version of Java does Magellan 3.3.1 (x64) require? I have Java 11 installed and I get some class not found exceptions on installation. I assume it's running on version 8 or so? But it would be nice if it ran on 11. Thanks for any info.

Asmusr Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have been developing Magellan using Java 8 for the last few years. Which errors do you get with Java 11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmeeks Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hmm. I deleted the log files so I will have to try again this evening when I'm home. I vaguely remember a NoClassDefFoundError but don't quote me on that. I will have to look again. Is the source code available? I'm a Java developer by trade and perhaps I could find the issue and/or update to support Java 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I just updated to the latest Java update (11 something, I think). Magellan runs fine without any error messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmeeks Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hmm. That's odd because mine wouldn't even finish the installer. Perhaps the installer doesn't like 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmusr Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The installer is made using a version of Install4j that's several years old, and that might not be able to find or use Java 11. The source code is included with the installation, in the src directory. But note, if you change anything, that I also might have a few unreleased changes.

LASooner Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd like to see an extended basic exporter for sprites, I know you can only do 28 in XB, but that would be faster than cutting and pasting the hex code into an editor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be perfect if it had a additional pane for testing character animations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmusr Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 The thing I have noticed with Java 11 is that if Windows 10 is set to scale the user interface size to e.g. 125%, Magellan is also scaled in an ugly, non-anti-aliased (=aliased ) way. I haven't spent time investigating this, so I would be happy if anyone would do the googling. Or is it's not a problem for anyone else, let's just leave it.

Asmusr Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 What I can do is to make installers (Windows and Mac) that are bundled with Java 8 version 202. The downloads will be bigger but you won't have to install Java yourself, and it won't affect any other Java you're using. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
