Java Lilith's Throne [v0.4.11.3 Hotfix] [Innoxia]

does it still not work on windows 11?

does it still not work on windows 11?

If its a .exe it should work "relatively" well.
If its the raw .jar? No.
But that's an "Inno can't code" problem, not a Win 11 problem.

I'm trying to open it now but it's not opening and on the error.log it says

this

Fresh install from the .exe in the OP Mega Link. Win11 is not the problem.
You either botched modding, tried to use a .jar, or used a corrupted download.

Looks to be trying to access a file not included in the .exe.
Also is having conniptions from Java in general.

it's still doing the same thing and still not opening even though i downloaded it right now to try it

If i had to guess Inno probably tried to use newer java api stuff like what is seen in Jetbrains. and "optimized" without actually checking if it will break anything first.

Yeah, that could very well be. The game doesn't have any sort of unit tests in place (and given the complexity of some of the class interactions, it really should have something). Testing seems to generally consist of playing the game for a while and observing.

I mean, on one hand, its pretty hard to unit test games, since something that seems legit from the point of unit test could be wrong from the point of a game. "JUST WRITE UR TEST CORRRRECTLY!!!!!!" Than it wont be a unit tests, since exact testing for a 'correctness' from the point of a game require more information than x = "dummy data" and i = 34.
But on the other, it text game only, without some complex 3d math.

I agree that unit tests wouldn't work for most games (imagine writing extensive unit tests for Doom Eternal ), but LT is so data-driven and deterministic that I don't think it would be out of the question. Also, it would make more sense to test for data integrity than anything mechanical, since the latter is where most of the game's nondeterminism comes into play.

I think the hardest part in this case would be determining exactly what should be tested. A good place to start, IMO, would be automating common actions (switching between areas, moving in and out of combat, creating a new NPC, making babies, etc.) and verifying data integrity after each process. Basically, stuff like ensuring that when you add an NPC the total count doesn't go down or something stupid like that.

Even something more mundane like ensuring that saving the game actually preserves the game's state would be a good thing to include (that is: setting up a control state, saving and loading it, and comparing the loaded data against the control).

i'm familiar with her rep when it comes to... basically everything to do with this game, hopefully she'll get it done before new years

A few more years? Man, that's optimistic lol

Your commend made me think about this; I've now been watching the game off and on (mostly off) for like 5 years, and so far we've gotten only like two or three completed side quests, and half of one new zone (out of 8 or something). At the current rate, assuming she never stops to try and fix the fact that the game won't be able to support the end product, she'd be done with the final zone in 30 years.

But that comes with that massive caveat of the game engine not being capable of supporting the number of NPCs, zones, or encounters it'll need for a final product. And then my personal gripes with the game progression being non-existent which will get worse as time goes on. And that's assuming basically no side content or reworks.

This game won't be finished. Unless an entire team comes together to take it over, at the current rate it'll actually take close to 50 years. And I can't even exaggerate this point because progress has been so hilariously slow.

This game will not be finished.

Hello every one, sorry for stupid question (abit brain dead of mine), so for now for PC ver. only v0.4.6.3, and 0.4.6.7 for PC will be somewhere near end of this year?

For the last few years the only big content patches have been like, one in February with all work being stopped from November February, one in late summer, and then one half assed patch in the fall.

If a new patch happens, don't expect it to contain much. And everyone should fully expect radio silence to start back up in the new couple weeks through the holidays.

The funny part about that is that I got the previous versions running just fine on Java 18 without those issues cropping up (getting it running on newer Java versions is honestly pretty easy). It really makes me wonder what the hell happened that caused things to get so busted.

The routines that keep track of NPCs literally don't need touched when bumping it up to a newer JDK. The only thing I can think of that would cause something like that is an optimization gone wrong.

That's going to be a big problem moving forward. Eventually Microsoft and Oracle are going to kill the old versions as they become more and more problematic. And both companies have demonstrated that they're willing and able to do so. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually this version is just nuked entirely in Win11, if not Win10 as well.

If its a .exe it should work "relatively" well.
If its the raw .jar? No.
But that's an "Inno can't code" problem, not a Win 11 problem.

Yeah, the jar version just doesn't work. And the exe version barely works on my Win11 gaming rig. The game is unstable as hell, but that might just be the current state of things based on skimming this thread.

I guess I'll give it another try in late Feb when the next real content patch comes out.

Data integrity checks can be bypassed, most of a times, by spamming immutable wrappers for pretty much everything 'constant' that passed into a function. It reduce performance, but than again, its java....and its a turn based game.

And at least LT not breaks with each update like tits or coc2, due to strongly typed language.

I've tried everything I could to get it to work but it doesn't seem like it wants to open. also, is windows 11 pro different than the normal windows 11?

If windows 11 is at least barely same as windows 10
Press Windows + R buttons
Type 'cmd' in new window
Type in console window 'java'
If it says something like 'unknown command' you dont have installed java/path to it are not in system paths.

This game requires an additional java related runtime. not just the baseline java.
And seems iffy to get to run even then.
I just use the exe version.

Works fine for me with a 'bare' java. Unless visual studio on installation also install some obligatory java libs on the background, since I dont have anything java related on my pc.

 

[Drago_dragneal]

I am using the exe version but it's still not working

The exe version is the jar with a java wrapper. In the past it worked 'better' than the jar because it was the matching version of java to what the jar was compiled with by Inno. If the jar is badly screwed up the exe may not work either.

So she is still 6 updates under her own par.
Absolutely reasonable to castigate her for her lack of competency of her own game with her own schedules, on her own roadmaps, with her own budgets.

I could care less what sob story she needs to vent to her therapist.
Shes a lazy slacker, coasting on her communities goodwill.

Yeah that's fair, failing to meet deadlines while sadly being the status quo for these things is a valid complaint. Even if it is like one in ten posts out of like +700 pages of posts. Meanwhile I've seen people here complain about every little thing he's done.

Also, since when the hell is Java a 'hard' engine to use? Yeah, it isn't Python or HTML programming, but there is also a reason why those two are one of the first languages programmers typically learn and why they aren't used for particularly advanced games.

Context is important, over 95% of games on this platform are in HTML, or Python, or just RPGM or something like that. (lo/no code for RPGM's cases generally)

So yeah Java Script, a slowly dying out language is considered hard by these contexts, I get it isn't machine code or whatever would actually impress someone these days.

its "Java" not "Java Script"

What?
