  1. Past hour
  2. I don't think you just have to edit the xml files. You must define the behavior and other dynamics. There is a ticket made by @bb_ which talks about adding a second attack.
  3. It occurs to me to combine a farm with a corral, instead of harvesting, you extract milk from the animals and they eat grass. The harvesting mechanics are similar to those of a farm. But you can bring goats inside to generate food. You'd need workers like a farm. The 0AD ones could be bigger, it could be used to give bonuses to the horses (cavalry).Extra population capacity much more than a house if you house horses.
  4. Today
  5. The reason Petra doesn't use them is that it consider they have 0 attack therefore it's at the very end of it's priorities. So it would stay true even if you buffed them 100x as long as you don't add default attack.
  6. Not really. They are cool and all, but way underused because they're too expensive. Also, Petra doesn't use them at all.
  7. Why not? there is adequate historical precedent to shove a bolter on a siege tower, it would be epic and maybe encourage their use a little more
  8. (Insert Pepperidge Farm meme) I was already here to remember a different version of the tracks that were later remastered. And then when some of the now "old" songs were brand new. It's hard to believe there are this many of them. And I wonder how many times I might have listened to all of them. I remember playing them outside of the game too, but I was already doing so like 15 years ago. At this point I got quite desensitized to them and it's harder to focus on the music (which makes them even greater background music). Btw, @OmriLahav was here recently, so I guess he'll like to hear our appreciation here too. He really gave the game a major part of its soul. All seriousness aside, imagine if The Player Of Many Names downloads the songs and after a while he'll be like "Oh wow, that's a nice beat, is that something new?". And then he'll check the song name and it says "You_are_Victorious!.ogg".
  9. Thanks for your help. I've included the error message I was getting below for completeness, but I realise what I had done wrong. The template I used as the base was from the current live repo, which has edits that aren't in version 0.27.1 ("health_females_01" being renamed to "health_civilians_01"). <!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Pyrogenesis Log</title> <style>body { background: #eee; color: black; font-family: sans-serif; } p { background: white; margin: 3px 0 3px 0; } .error { color: red; } .warning { color: blue; }</style> <h2>0 A.D.

But my point its that's the way most zip applications work, so the user workflow fails by default. As the mod.io zip files contain an mod.json plus a zip file, and then the zip file contains the same mod.json, I just think it's a bit confusing for someone first dipping their toes into modding.
  10. Yeah, I think so, it’s been some time since I last played A23, and I always played with bit Millenium and Terra Magna on.
  11. Hey so for my Hyrule Conquest: Revival mod, I contacted TUN and he sent me his original 3d models. I was hoping to be able to make some variants, as the Deku Kingdom is kind of repetitive, but when I tried to add a model to the game, I got this error: "ERROR: art/meshes/units/deku/deku_baba_spike.dae: assertion not satisfied (line 394): failed requirement 'recognised skeleton structure'". I followed all of the instructions, unwrapping the mesh, selecting the mesh, then the armature, and exporting as a .dae file. Is it because it is not a cached.pmd, or is it some other problem?
  12. It is possible, you just have to different listings, like this: <Attack> <Ranged> <Weapon1> <Bla Bla Bla/> </Weapon1> <Weapon2> <Bla Bla Bla/> </Weapon2> </Ranged> </Attack> I've done it before, on accident.
  13. ./config/0ad/logs Or gather the errors from terminal if you open 0ad from there. I don't see any reasons why editing the population bonus of structures in template would break anything so probably you are right to try to look into how you packaged your mod. A random guess would be that you extracted the mod you're playing with creating a extra folder like 0ad/mods/yourmod/yourmod/simulation/templates/..., and should be 0ad/mods/yourmod/simulation/templates/.... Besides this, mods downloaded from the downloader should create the correct folder structure.
  14. I've been enjoying playing 0AD recently, so I thought I'd try my hand at modding. I thought I'd start simple, and because I always find that I've not built enough houses, I thought I'd tweak the population bonus of the civic centre template. I've created a mod with the required mod.json and ./simulation/templates/template_structure_civic_civil_centre.xml. It works, in the sense that the population bonus is higher when I run the game with the mod. But it seems to break all the unit/structure right click info windows. Loads of error messages pop up in the game console when I right click on a unit icon in a build menu. I've seen some mention in the modding guide of having to save/reload, but that wasn't 100% clear. In any case I've opened/closed 0AD several times. Game version is 0.27.1, running on Linux Mint. How do I get the error messages outside of 0AD? I hoped there'd be some logs in ./local/share/0ad, but can't see anything in there. Grateful for any help. Also, on newbies starting modding, the user experience / guidance could probably do with some tweaking. My route into modding was to use the in-game mod.io downloader. I then tested the mod to see if it was working in the game. Then went into ./local/share/0ad/mods to edit it. I extracted the zip file and started playing around. No effect. I figured the game engine reads from the zip rather than folders by default, so I deleted the zip. And then the mod doesn't do anything any more. I finally realised that extracting the zip downloaded via mod.io doesn't generate the right folder structure. I think the below line from the tutorial is trying to get at this point, but it's not the clearest, particularly given the common definition of zip bomb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb. If you extract the mod so you can further work on it beware a properly packaged mod is a zip-bomb.
  15. Despite the danger of revealing my preferred civilizations, my favorite tracks: Eastern Dreams: all time favorite, even my wife plays it in the car Sands of Time: so fun to listen to Forging a City State: i just want to grab a hammer and build something... The Road Ahead: same as above, the start of a magnificent city Harvest Festival: such a happy feeling In the Shadow of Olympus: takes me on an Aegean island The Hellespont: same as above Water's Edge: just the calm feeling of being near water From the new ones: Bandit Country: unleash the power of Africa!
  16. Those are looking really good, @lukamas! I especially liked this one, the head looks very realistic: Do you have any updates on when the hyenas will be added to Atlas? I'd love to see them in the game, their presence would really enhance the biodiversity and add a nice touch of realism.
  17. There is a hypothesis that Porus was a title rendered in Greek and that the original title was more like 'Puru'. Anyway Porus was the king of a regional kingdom with a moderate size. It is difficult to categorize his kingdom. Taxila seems to be related to the Gandhara people but nothing suggests Porus was from Gandhara. His association to the Puru tribe is purely based on the name, as the Purus were mostly known from an area further in the East, since they lost a considerable chunk of their territory according to the Rig Veda. They did controlled the area at some point but it was at the peak of their hegemony. The Pauravas are from the same area as the Purus after their loss. They are mentioned in later poems and myths. So they have mostly the same issues than the Puru tribe.

  19. A map showing the different hypotheses about the origin of the Cimbri and the routes taken during their migration or wandering:
  20. I suppose your best best would be to dig up the code for the autociv mod, or one of its successors. However because the code is gonna be running on all the players, you gotta be careful with not creating a loop.
  21. Merged https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8329, which fixes a probable cause of what we see here, at least this bug should result in pretty much what is described in here. @elexis spent some considerable time trying to debug this.
  22. It's safer to go for the Scythians, and let them settle in the late phase. That is, a CC that doesn't move, in compensation, a stronger CC. Herding should be included as the main activity and hunting. https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Pasture_(Age_of_Empires_II) This, however, can be built outside the territory perhaps. I haven't played Delenda Est in a long time.
  23. These people make things up, maybe another DLC is needed to correct the name. Ai answer: In the context of the game, the name Puru was chosen to reflect the historical identity of the Pauravas, highlighting their role in Alexander's campaign. The term is linked to the Indian tradition, as "Puru" also appears in ancient texts such as the Rigveda, where a tribe or lineage related to the Bharatas is mentioned. The developers chose this name to accurately represent the culture and historical context of the Kingdom of Porus, Hadn't they done that in AoE3 where they changed the name of a pre-Columbian civilization to its name in its original language(?)
