Ginnungagap christmas special 2024 Day 19 Games between - 19.12.2024 - 19:00 UTC and 21:00 UTC - WFG-Lobby-A26 - Host: Ginnungagap Mediterranean Replay of the game played. The game was one of the best games if have played on this map. Nearly 1 hour game time with a lot of action. Map settings:

Merged.

That's a great idea. Also the X and mastodon accounts could be a bit more active. You know, post updates on PRs being merged, make funny memes about history, cool screenshots, that sort of thing.

I'm going to make a lot more of these, but I'm going to start using the 0 A.D. Instagram account for more promotion.

That looks amazing!

I completed the topography and started painting the terrain and placing some vegetation. Here is the portion of the map I did so far:

I just tried to repaint the map using the new textures, but I can't seem to reproduce what I had earlier. The overall color scheme of the new Agean-Anatolian biome is a bit too grey and white for Southern Spain, I'd need something with a slight yellow-orange tint. I'm especially missing the 'medit_shrubs_golden' and 'medit_cliff_italia' textures. Attempting to correct it with the 'Ambient Color' doesn't look very natural. My best solution is to borrow some textures from the desert biome, but those were obviously colored from a different palette, which results in a small, but definitely noticable color disharmony. Any ideas/tips/advice?

Textures can also be replaced by editing the pmp with python. Obviously doesn't work if there is no 1:1 replacement. Well if we coordinate we could have nice social media posts

I believe that Dunedan removed the posts (also mine) where we talk about any precise person. I think it is right, otherwise it become a shitstorm. And we all agree with that, but as a decent and friendly 0ad enjoyer I'm saying that the presence of smurfers is annoying and we are searching a way to limit their behaviour. I think that 0ad community is the best I find and for this reason if a problem arise, is useful to discuss about it.

Issue No. 4284 ([PATCH] Add a restart to main menu)

By following the steps explained below, you should be able to open a report mentioned above: Sign in to Gitea; Surf to the 0ad repository; Switch to the 'Issues' tab; Click the button 'New Issue'; Choose 'Defect' and click the button 'Get Started' in the same line; Fill out the formular and click the button 'Create Issue'. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to aske them here as well.

I'm aware of the tool, but I'm afraid it alone won't cut it in many places. While great-looking, the new textures can't really be matched 1:1 to all the old ones.

Both, please. I don't follow social media other than X and I want to see them

Yeah, I'm thinking I should stop posting images here on the forum and start posting them elsewhere instead.

You know we could usually use those screenshots and post them on the social media places. They look really, really good.

Just use the replace tool. It is super handy! I forgot about Pine_black. Those are really nice and I use them sometimes in the highlands or around mountains.

Ah, darn it. I indeed used the old textures, which means I'll have to repaint everything. How annoying. But, I guess, good thing you told me now rather than later. Imagine if I only found out after completing the entire map. And, I gotta say, the new textures look a lot sharper and aesthetically pleasing. Very good work. Yeah, that's more or less what I used already. In fact, I also found the Aleppo Pines ugly and mostly used pine_maritime and pine_black (as well as their variants) instead.

Feel free to propose visuals

I think this mod is highly ambitious. The desire to have what the mod attempts is big, but currently it's not accurate. Adding to this from another thread: Here is the script with which I evaluated the results. Maybe it helps to develop a better working algorithm. The script is to be run in .local/share/0ad/replays localratings_statistics.xlsx rating_localratings.py

They're all here, lol:

A hoplite I generated. I feel like we'd need to train our own AI to get historically accurate results.

We need a list of new actors, i.e. plants for these maps.

Instead of Aleppo Pines (which use old and ugly actors) for Mediterranean and Aegean pine trees, I've been using Pine_Maritime, which look a lot like Aleppo Pines and other coniferous trees I've seen in Mediterranean basin photos. For near the coast, medit_fan_palm, date_palm, and cretan_date_palm. Oak_holly is fine for some decorative or stragglers. Berries should be gaia/fruit/grapes. Hills can be covered almost completely in bush_mediterranean and bush_mediterranean_dry.

That's why I was going to ask you to give textures to the map.

Where will the settlement be located?

Ginnungagap christmas special 2024 Day 18 Games between - 18.12.2024 - 19:00 UTC and 21:00 UTC - WFG-Lobby-A26 - Host: Ginnungagap To play the next map you need to have the mod community-maps2 installed. Available via github or downloadable with mod.io inside the game. A path beyond II (8) Replay-1, Replay-2 Map settings:

This is exactly what happens to me, people ignore me because Geriatrix only selectively target people he dislike and people like us don't want to insult others too, so they think they are different and immune, when they see me in trouble they have tendency to ignore the affected person and pretend there is no problem and some people go beyond that they even mock me for having a problem there are big examples and big names but I don't want to fight everyone in the gaming community. so silently suffering, if the community was big like we are playing 10 20 TGs a day we can ignore people and don't join their games but right now to get a challenging game we need these people, I am considering moving to other games like AOE2 and AOE4 and learning it slowly, but I like 0AD more because it's build by people without big corporate money.

The problem is that people tend to whitewash the behavior of players like Geriatrix because he plays very well, while ignoring or harassing people like me. This issue has an easy fix: well-regarded players in the community need to take a stand against individuals who cause trouble. I’m referring to respected players like @Player of 0AD, @Havran, @Aslan , and @MarcusAureliu#s, who are equally admired by both sides. Unfortunately, they don’t take that stand. Instead, they often form alliances with Geriatrix in one way or another and attempt to demean or discredit moderators who are genuinely trying to help. For instance, @Norse_Harold put in significant effort to resolve the situation in a way that avoided harming either side, yet his efforts were met with a campaign to mock him. If I were to echo the same complaints that Geriatrix sings against moderators and developers of the community mod, I would be seen as a “good person” in Geriatrix's eyes—just like the "well-respected players" mentioned here. But I choose to stand on the side of truth and justice, even if that makes me a bad person in your eyes. I've almost stopped complaining about Geriatrix because the attitude of many so-called OP players toward me made me question whether I am the problem here. However, I can see now that I am not the only one affected.

tree concerns addressed for random maps: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7319 this has been something i meant to do for a while, but this discussion reminded me.

Just a suggestion I thought of as I went to download the newest alpha. The developmental language suggests that the game is still very raw, which will be a turn-off for a lot of potential new players. Maybe change the language to something like the below. Attention! This is a developmental version of the game so some bugs, such as lag when many units are moving and processing problems with very large maps, may exist. The game is regularly updated to address these and other concerns.

Yeah it would be cleaner to use a new local.cfg file though i don't know if a mod can affect it. One disadvantage is that if user had already some changes in his local.cfg file it would not work with the mod. Maybe a way to do Isometric View with mod and user.cfg is to have 2 mods that write in user.cfg, one that puts isometric view settings and one that reverts to default.

If you do water maps, I recommend using the community mod, since the naval system will benefit from balance feedback.
