You raise a valid point. In the specific case of autociv you can look at the autociv thread where I make bits of updates.
I guess very detailed change logs warning mod Devs about expiring function names would be better.
If there is a breaking change, just introduce a new function alongside the old one to ensure support
I added a section in https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/PortA27ToR28 which links to https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/ModdingGuiAndSimulation.
Smoother transitions to new updates. For 27, it look a lot of searching and trail and error figure out how to install auto civ. Now there's 28, and auto civ is broken again, and I can't see basic statistics displayed while I play. Very basic stuff like # of laborers. I'm playing blind.
I can't be the only one with this issue. I'm curious how others handle it.
Hi folks!
LocalRatings was updated to version 0.28.1, compatible with 0 A.D. 28.
Before making the mod available via the official downloader (Settings > Mod Selection > Download Mods) I would wait a few more days to have it tested, as some code re-work was needed to port the mod.
Since I am not active in the lobby (sigh!) some of you may want to help testing it on R28; I appreciate any bug report. To test the mod, you can download the zip file and extract it into the mod folder (see here to locate the mod folder on your system); then activate the mod via Settings > Mod Selection.
