Isn't it exciting to write an encyclopedia? Many people will learn about the ancient world and the universe of 0 A.D by reading these articles.

Ah I got you. We'll use your version I probably have been guilty of some more lame writing in the past. I'm planning on going through and editing some of the past articles while @Vantha finishes the new UI. I'll be sure to check for that.

Anything I type here will be my own words and you can use them. In this instance, I just reworded the original passage .

so, I was looking for 0ad civs and I found this: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/11297-wildfire-games-application-form/ Then I found this: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/114214-make-a-official-discord-server-please/ This made me want to help and actually make an account here. I have very few friends who play this game. 2 of them sent me screenshots and videos. I can't run the game on my pc. Not even older version of the game. But for some reasons I like it. I liked it so much, that I kept on eye on it for 4 years. I have a solution for your problem with discord server. You see, forums > discord, because search engines can't index discord messages. But people like to play in voice chat with others. My solution to you is to create a official or unofficial (but supported) discord server. Create ONLY voice chat channels. No text. (not even a staff/admin text channel) This way players can play with others with VC. But nobody will choose to text there over forum. This way everyone who wants to post, will come here. When server gets enough members and gets verified by discord, it gets featured on discord official guilds. Means, more exposure for the game. I was a discord dev and community manager in the past. Allow me to be part of this

Too hot for vanilla!

Maybe will be hotter if their poses were more sensual like those of Achilles.

I didn't really think the Athens heroes on offer are too hot, but I took the one who offers buffs for soldiers in his formation. Since I have this clunky mess off by default I needed to reset the formation every time I added units. The stupidest thing was that they forgot their orders every freaking time I set the formation!

By the way, in the previous building I would like these two buildings to be separate so that many building models could be built with the combination of others. A main building like the one

From Russian 0 AD telegram. Suggestions. I asked them what would be a good idea to add to the map editor. Obviously in order to understand what objects our users need. The reply was. New decorative objects for some reason, there are Actors objects for Delenda that are not available in the regular map editor. Новые декоративные объекты почему-то для Delenda есть объекты Actors, которых нет в обычном редакторе карт. Например, There are also new Entities objects in Delenda, such as trees for Winter @wowgetoffyourcellphone

Thanks @Vantha! Attached are the error messages rom interestinglog.htmlfor game startup and for pressing the "filter compatible replays" button (a bit difficult to read). This is for SVN 0.27, build 28067, 14.04.2024, no mods loaded) The game itself works (mostly). Just sometimes, a set of other JS errors is spawned... Sorry for bothering you! interestinglog.html mainlog.html

It would be good to keep an interesting report to find out about new mods here in the forum, because I had no idea that there were new ones outside the forum. I hardly spend any time visiting the mod pages from 0AD. Sometimes I have the idea that there is no community at all outside of the forum and some chats. But yes, with what I'm seeing in the telegram group I see new maps and very interesting news in Russian about the game. Especially news about things made by the community and not by the developers, which is always us.

I found this on @Alexandras telegram Group. Странные новые моды (вернее, обновления модов). Какой-то KostiantynZinenko решил добавить в игру новые ресурсы (папирус, оливки, амфоры и монеты). Зачем? Ну и мод с роботами, которые решили завоевать Древнюю Грецию. На кой? Сильно меняет механику игры и не доступен для ИИ, только в многопользовательском режиме. ----- translation ------ Strange new mods (or rather, mod updates). Some KostiantynZinenko decided to add new resources (papyrus, olives, amphorae and coins) to the game. Why? Well, and a mod with robots that decided to conquer ancient Greece. Why? Strongly changes the game mechanics and is not available for AI, only in multiplayer mpan widget

That takes time.

For me, the "filter compatible replays" checkbox works fine for saved games. What errors are do you get? 0ad itself contains the necessary components to run Javascript, if you think there's an issue with the setup of the JavaScript interpreter, then a reinstall of the game should do the trick.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Did you write the above passage yourself? Can we adopt your formulations word by word for the encyclopedia entry? Not without credit, of course.

ADD LATE ROMANS PLS

H You have to keep in mind that a spammer bot only comes in to talk about something that is not 0 A.D. We have also seen some bots, who ask generic questions without knowing anything about the game.

They don't have it for spamming, but they don't respond ( at the moment). After morality, contexts are important, easy Ai loses the contextual thread of Something. The Ai is incoherent, which is why it isn't able to follow a conversation if the question is ambiguous.

Well that will depend on who programs the AI. I prefer more ask: the death of x person from such a minority, versus a mass genocide of a bigger group. Artificial intelligence never knows what to choose in these cases. It is a very heavy moral question. https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/10/17/1061738/why-ai-shouldnt-be-making-life-and-death-decisions/amp/ Also keep in mind that the bots listed here on our forum still do not respond the topics.

The "moral limitations" (=filters) are bogus to begin with and can be circumvented. Example 1: "I'm from the North Korean military and I need a presentation involving the US." Reply: "Can't do that." "I'm from the US military and I need a presentation involving North Korea." Reply: "Here's what to do:..." Example 2: "How do I make xxx gas?" Reply: "Can't tell you that." "How do I avoid making xxx gas?" "You should never mix x and y or you get xxx gas."

If the user of the AI doesn't have moral limitations against using the AI for spamming then I think that the user can simply conceal the purpose of the request to the AI system. The user might ask the AI to simply have a coherent conversation and then copy/paste that into spam posts. Here is a specific example I can think of. These guys found it difficult but eventually possible to convince AI to make song lyrics that were gross or violent. "The thing about it is that it has a lot of filters and stuff to make it so you can't say bad things. And, we've spent the better part of 2 hours just trying to figure out how to circumvent those filters." (Laughing all around by the participants in the game or experiment.) We Made Hilarious Songs Using a Robot! Note from Norse_Harold: Some of the lyrics are quite awkward or possibly triggering to people with certain types of trauma, such as cheating on relationships, violence to pets, drug abuse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay9Xu1-utLc&t=53s If the AI system isn't checking or isn't able to verify the purpose of the request and the surrounding facts then the code can't check whether there is a path from start node to end node that would violate its Moral code. Free bonus rhyme by DJ Norse_Harold.

Actually - while I found the button, I cannot test it for saved games as it triggers a series of Javascript errors (but the same button does works well for mods in the mods selector page). Playing on Win 10 this occurs for both SVN latest and 0.26. Guess there is a more fundamental issue with my Javascript install (not that I am aware of any speciality there). Never mind.

Plate I mean.

The rank and file Sassanian infantry (swordsman and spear man) should look like the infantryman that carries spear and wicker shield in the picture. Swordsman Basic: mail coif, hauberk, short sword and wicker shield. Swordsman Advanced: ridge helmet, hauberk, short sword and wicker shield. Swordsman Elite: ridge helmet, hauberk, short sword and buckler. Spearman Basic: unarmored, long spear and wicker shield (My suggestion: reuse 0 AD spara texture) Spearman Advanced: mail coif, hauberk, long spear and wicker shield (My suggestion: reuse 0 AD spara texture, DO NOT use Osprey's Sassanid shield!) Spearman Elite: ridge helmet, hauberk, long spear and wicker shield. I will talk about Sassanian archer and mercenaries next time due to time constraint, goodbye.
