I have and older java but am getting a problem others get. (1) java -jar hale.jar gives an error due to missing class. (2) running hale.sh /jdk1.8.0_271/jre/lib/i386/libawt_xawt.so: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. 1.8 was 32bit not 64 i think i remember. so i got java-24. BUT .... no: cause: can't load IA 32 .so on a AMD 64 platform. I run X 64 that's that not going to 32. I tried build.sh got 4247 errors. imports are part bin part .class with no version information no source (no java in the jars!) mystery foo.so without source. no version information (symbol clash ugh which version if you attempt). interface appears to require mouse.

A very nice RPG time based on java. However, you'll need to downgrade to 0.5.1 version if you get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to net.minidev.json.JSONObject at net.sf.hale.util.SimpleJSONParser.initialize(SimpleJSONParser.java:106) at net.sf.hale.util.SimpleJSONParser.<init>(SimpleJSONParser.java:86) at net.sf.hale.Config.<init>(Config.java:225) at net.sf.hale.Game.main(Game.java:338) Besides that, very, very nice game. Worth playing, besides graphics being taken from Battle For Wesnoth (or even better if you're a fan?)

Hale is a fun "Wesnoth style" hex-tile TBS with even more potential campaigning, the main Pale Pass triple campaign follows a great script. It's very well balanced, thought through, and perfectly paced for many hours of play. Character Parties are a choice of pre-made or user made/generated. Combat suitable for all strategy role-players of D&D style and beyond, it seamlessly switches out of individual turns to real-time party movement between combats. Features: Levels of Classes, Skills, Abilities, Magic, Enchanting, Alchemy, and even Crafting. Good UI, beautiful graphics (à la Wesnoth), programming is clean and very well commented, possible modding easy, plays with no gaps, graphically immersive, needs sound imho, project support and attention is excellent! Coded in Java with extensive use of Json files.
