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!
