  1. Territory refactoring

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Very quickly, I was involved with the spec for the original territory. The weighting was designed so that walls repelled territory far more than buildings, so that an ememies terriroty should not be able to push past a players wall barracade.... as long as that is preserved...

  6. Attn Artists: Make some designs for stickers!

    Attn all artists,

    Someone has approached us about getting some stickers for an upcoming event he is attending and plans to advertise 0 A.D. at.

    We need some promotional material that can be printed into stickers, probably no wider/higher than 2 inchs sqaure (5cm square).

    We don't have to worry about getting the stickers printed, just the design.

    It should include something 0 A.D. related, and include "play0ad.com" on it somewhere if able.

    Have fun. Post all your resulting designs in this thread.

    Go!

  7. Providing promotional content for event purposes

    I am willing to consider reimbursing him for a predetermined sum, if he can show us a quote or receipt. I'm thinking $50. How much does he want?

    He hasn't asked for any amount yet, he was inquiring on IRC whether he could be reimbursed if he spent some money.

    If he wants the help of the community writing and designing these materials, he can start a forum thread without need for the approval of the Treasury Committee. :)

    True. I was mainly asking here because we need to fulfill the fundraiser perks, and could we just get a few dozen printed off early and send them to him. Though that might be a hassle.

    Probably best to have him do it (not saying we/the community can't help out designing them), it's probably a lot cheaper to have them printed locally than having them printed somewhere else and then shipped there.

    That makes sense. I'll email him to let him know that if he can come up with a design we're happy with and a supplier for stickers, and give us a quote before buying anything, then we'll consider the quote.

  8. Providing promotional content for event purposes

    A member on IRC, Marcel Ribeiro Dantas, that goes by the nickname of mribeirodantas, was invited to be a speaker at the 2013 Latinoware event which happens from October 16th-18th. There are already 3,892 people registered for the event, with an estimated 5,000 people expected to come.

    I think this might be a good opportunity to spread the work about 0 A.D. It won't be in time for the fundraiser obviously, but being an open source software and developer conference, it could draw some developer volunteers.

    With that in mind, Marcel would like to know if either of these are possible:

    * We can provide some promotional material for him by the event date (fliers, stickers, etc)

    OR

    * We can reimburse him for expenses incurred to source the promotional material himself

    Even if we can't do either of those, Marcel will be mentioning 0 A.D. to the people he speaks to.

    As soon as we reach a decision, I'll need to email him to let him know.

    Nicely put Erik.

    Three last thing:

    * As we did with Philip, money should be paid weekly, not a lump sum.

    * We should have a clear roadmap of changes Jorma will do over the next 2 months. Jorma would need to write this up, and could be the starting point of the regular development updates.

    * Jorma tends to write code with C++11 features. We haven't decided to make the switch yet, and having C++11 features in a conditional is asking for trouble, so for now, I would recommend we enforce only the most widely supported stuff be used, for now anyway, and if we decide to use c++11 in the future, we'll switch.

    I think, given his recent activity, he'd be a good fit to replace Philip as the person to receive the funds. So that's a yes from me.

    However, as Aviv pointed out, we'd need him to do some things, such as post daily progress reports.

    His patches are quite big too, and each requires quite a bit of time to review and test, since they are pretty big architectural changes. So the work he gets done won't make it into the game instantly.

    2) Better search tags and a name on Flattr page. I tried to search for "0AD" (6 results, but no real page), "0 A.D." and "0 AD" (found nothing). I think it is possible to place all 3 names in description or a name. By the way, it would be great to call it "official" -- people won't be confused.
    Done. Still not in the search results though. They must take a while to update.
