      New Atlas helper tool - Mercator

      By Grautvornix · Posted

      Here is an intermediate release of mercator, now being updated to version 0.14.0. There are a lot of changes "in the engine room" increasing processing speed and (hopefully) making map editing and manipulation a bit easier. There are also a large number of bugfixes (please have a look at the changelog). The tool and its documentation and changelog is available at the initial post of this thread in https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/169940-new-atlas-helper-tool-mercator/

      Map making support and conversion tool: post-Atlas

      By Grautvornix · Posted

      Here is an intermediate bugfix version of post-atlas: Version  1.16.0 with a few new items, like a check that items placed are where the game would alow them to be placed, warning if they are not. Exampels are trees or builidngs on a steep slope, in water or the like. Note that this is not a fail but only a warning to make the user aware. 3D view mouse movement mechanics aligned woith what is implemented in mercator, the companion tool for map editing, available from this thread: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/169940-new-atlas-helper-tool-mercator) and a large number of bugfixes and accelerations. Please let me know your observations, comments, any issues or suggestions! post-atlas-1.16.0.zip README.md CHANGELOG.md

      My take on bringing communities together

      By Grautvornix · Posted

      I second that!  For gameplay: casual single player vs competitive multiplayer versions are indeed two variants that equally need attention. If we have contradicting requirements, shoudl we consider making that configurable options (i.e. if single player is selected then the game behaves like this, and if multipleyer is activated, that the game is has particular other features). In this way we can avoid changing somthething back and forth, depending on the current status of discussion. As for the history discussions - these are absolutely fascinating! I guess everyone is learning a lot  - even we learn that many things can be disputed as the historical sources are contradictory, biased, scarce or even missing completely. This is the nature of the beast i would say naively. So, while I do appreciate a lot(indeed!) the engageed and excited fascinating discussions of historical details that are certainly not undisputed, I 'd also appreciate if personal statements can be avoided. Lets try keeping a gentleman style.

      My take on bringing communities together

      By lilypoppy · Posted

      Hi everyone, I want to share a feeling and look for solutions. I follow many projects that are in development at various levels, and 0 A.D. is rich and alive. The only thing is that the history-focused and gameplay-focused communities create tensions, which in my view should come together around this beautiful project. Right now it only creates tensions, which I find sad. I'd also like to point out that there is no sub-forum dedicated to solo/history. I think it would be good to find solutions so that both communities can coexist together. Thank you !

      World Rising

      By Adriano0ad · Posted

      Yes, I did that in my mod. The map shown in the photos is nearly twice the size of the "giant" map; I also had to tweak the engine to improve performance and ensure the AI can correctly account for all objects in the scene. I’m putting a lot of work into performance to keep the gameplay fluid, which has been a major challenge—I’ve been repeatedly reworking many of the objects to make them as lightweight as possible. Currently, the biggest strain on the map comes from the constant logging used to verify that the enemy AI is functioning correctly; once that process is complete, I’ll focus even more on performance optimization.
