Just to check you could make the lfs point to your fork instead.

I installed a mod in ~/snap/0ad/657/.local/share/0ad/mods/<name>. Then it was detected automatically when launching the game and I enabled it via the mod settings in the UI. I am running Ubuntu 24.04 and installed 0ad via snap.

hello: i am new here

My bad, the @manowar config tip for lfs works for me, I also had to run git remote remove origin

Ah! I missed that thread. I have a similar problem (still today). Can't update my fork. ssh -T git@gitea.wildfiregames.comSSH Says hi, but then it ask me for https authentication in a loop. No error, nothing, just keep asking credentials. I've tried a lot of different things as I though I was doing something wrong but no success here yet.

@Itms updated Gitea yesterday could you try again @Cayleb-Ordo

Yeah it's old news now.

Usually when baking you should import the actual model.

Mmm, getting there! Acropolis taking shape!

The messages are dated 2022, but I wasn't sure if anyone had noticed this. Sorry if I'm late.

Again? @Stan` @Itms

Hey, someone is/was selling 0 A.D. on Steam! There are tons of comments on how someone posted 0 A.D. and is charging for it. Is this old news? Or does someone need to solve this? Here is a link to the page: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2158440.

Your mod is incompatible because you need to set a version that it runs in. For example: “requires”: [0.27.0]. This should fix your problem. I modded Petra a few months ago, here are some tips: before you do anything to it, use Find and Replace to replace anything that says PETRA with FELIX, and anything that says petra or petrabot with felix or felixbot. Then, start messing around by changing numbers and values.

Sorry, I hadn’t noticed the Development & Technical section.

Hey! I’m diving into making my own AI bot and want to start by copying the Petra bot, then renaming it so I can experiment with it. The catch? I’m running 0 AD via Snap on Linux, so paths are a bit tricky. I’ve tried putting my mod in ~/snap/0ad/657/.config/0ad/mods/public/, but the game doesn’t detect it. Anyone here worked with local mods on Snap? How do you launch the game with a custom mod using -mod or other tricks so it actually loads? Also, any tips for safely copying Petra’s bot to start tinkering would be awesome. Really appreciate any help—I just want to play with bot AI!

From what I understand, one big benefit of using Lua would be the native integration with C/C++ bindings, meaning there is no need to serialize/deserialize values (it can be just a reference). The serialization/deserialization of data is a big bottleneck for the Javascript bindings

I did nothing special, except use SpawnEntityonDeath, so it must've been subtly broke at that time. At the time I showed off the feature, nobody said, hey wait a minute that shouldn't work! Lol

For AO, reducing from 2048 to 1024 doesn't introduce too many artifacts. Imagine how big the structure is on screen for 99% of a match. It'll probably take up not much more than 256^2 on a typical 1080p monitor at any given time, so a 1024 AO map is most likely adequate. For the trees, it might be cool to put a dummy object there when baking to simulate the presence of the average sized or smallest size cypress that goes there, but that step is up to you.

If you start the campaign automatically there might be a way to force gamesettings.

Well it needs to be checked. Usually the least textures the better. They don't need it but it doesn't hurt to try. Also you might get away by tweaking the UV2 to give more space to some stuff.

Yeah, the civ is set permanently, but normally when you start a match, you pick an AI. However, my map is for a campaign I am making, where you start the campaign and the level starts automatically, so there is no place where the player picks an AI. So, rather than use TriggerHelper to handhold the AI and decide it’s every move, I want to specify an AI and just let it play.

Well if you have questions do not hesitate Mmh if the map type is scenario and assuming it's correctly set in the XML you shouldn't be able to change it but I'm not sure. Maybe it only applies to civs.

Hey, on a different topic, how do I force an AI in a scenario or campaign? I set an AI (Petra bot) and added an AI seed, but it still doesn’t work.
