I suggest we add the page to the game now (after fixing the bug), but only with selected articles for testing. The review process will take a lot of time anyway and in parallel we can already "customize" the rest of the articles (adding images, subtitles, links to other articles, etc.). And as soon as the page framework is merged we can add the bulk of articles to the game too. I don't think incompletion is be something to worry about in this case, since the page framework is indeed complete and we can simply remove the button from the main menu as long as it doesn't contain all the articles to prevent players from finding a (seemingly) incomplete and empty page in a full release. And the existence of temporarily unused files in 0ad's code wouldn't be anything new either. Howevere, I will talk to some developers and adapt to what they deem best.   I made the mod for the latest version, but it should be working with A26 (except the unit portraits) as well. Have you verified the mod is installed properly? Does anyone else face the same issue? You can try opening the javascript console with the assigned hotkey (per default '^' and F9) and entering the following command: Engine.SwitchGuiPage("page_encyclopedia.xml");

That's phantastic! Although yet no fully completed,  I'd vote for including it into the mod.io or even SVN as part of vanilla version so everyone can get inspired.. Excellent job! Well done!

I'm encountering several error messages when trying to create a new match in 0 A.D. on Ubuntu 20.04, specifically with the Zhu version. The errors include "failed to load GUI XML page" among others. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or have any suggestions on how to resolve them? I've tried reinstalling the game and verifying the integrity of the game files, but the problem persists.

This is awesome! Is this actually working? I tried installing it on my a26 version but the button didnt appear at the main menu

It. Looks. AMAZING!!! So what are the next steps? Fix the bug then convert previous articles, then merge? Or should we do a hybrid. Fix bug, merge, work converting articles and add them directly to game? On one hand, we might not want to ship something uncompleted.   On the other hand, this is an open source project. (Joke, don't hit me!) Also, it might be easier to figure out where all the files go in the main game with only a few articles than a billion.

Big news regarding the encyclopedia page! New features: - the ability to put images in the article header. I decided to place the images to the top right and the title to the top left. This saves a lot of space compared to other possibilities and it looks good with images of most aspect ratios. But I will talk more in depth about the implementation in a future post. - the ability to add subtitles. They are fully optional, but really enhance the header's visual appeal (in my opinion). - a button below the title that opens up the the template viewer showing the unit's in-game stats. Its portrait is embedded into the button, so players can visually recognise the unit from in-game as well. - buttons to directly switch to the next or previous article in the same subcategory (to the suggestion of @nifa) They currently do not include any text as I think the arrow sprites are enough of a hint as to what the buttons do. Here is a quick showcase: screen-recording-0ads-encyclopedia.mp4   Other improvements: - fixed GUI scaling on lower screen resolutions (down to 1024x768). This turned out as quite a hassle, but it had to be done eventually. I haven't tested it on large screens (yet), mainly because they usually don't cause problems. If you notice any problem with the GUI scaling, let me know.   As always I packed it into a mod, please try it out, any feedback is welcome! encyclopedia.zip   (unfortunately I have not yet managed to resolve the issue with the crashes, I recommend trying to open it multiple times and supressing the error, if you notice any patterns or have any idea on how to resolve it, please let me know)
