Hello, I'm here to share some more gameplay images of my World Rising mod. I've been working a lot on the natural environment. I've created plants, trees, grass, rocks, and more... There are still a few things missing to finish this part of the Japanese flora. I hope you enjoy it.

Feldmap 3.0.0 feldmap.zip Added a button to turn on/off balancing Added a button to turn on/off team shuffling NEW (and returning) MAPS Lake: Wrench (partially bugged): Cross: River Island: Enjoy

What is ignored: You build an Ice house and it generates 30 food in the first minute after completion. If you build an corral, it needs 60 seconds time to train the cow before it generates the food. So that is an ¨extra cost¨ of 30 food. Also your corral calculation assumes 8 cows per corral, whereas in the start of the game, you cannot afford 8 cows and you will have at the early phase only one or two. So the calculation assumes that initial investment is not a burden. So it is more like For the first minute after construction: 100 wood invested+build time, 150 food invested (for cow recruitment), no tickle After 1 minute: 100 wood invested+build time, 300 food invested, 1 food/s tickle. So after 2 minutes you need to consider: I have thrown 300 food and gained 60 in return, do I need to put another 150 food in it? I ran a spreadsheet and only when you get your 6th cow, you have recovered the food you invested. If you start your game with corrals+cows, you will see that the investment is not that good. A woman on a field does return her costs within 3 minutes. To be fair to the corral: goats give a better return on investment. What I would suggest is added functionality for the Ice house: namely being a drop-off site for food in addition to the tickle.

wip @Genava55 Do you by chance have further references for that wagon in this picture?

Since mods are maintained by "private" users, who are not necessarily into the details of 0 A.D. development, any missing update to mods (or faulty code, or unclear installation instructions, or whatever can be related to mods) is solely a modder's responsibility. In this sense, I don't think this is something 0 A.D. (as a project) is lacking. I know it can be frustrating not to have our favourite mod promptly installed the same day a new 0 A.D. version is released, but as a user... just be patient, updates will come. I find that 0 A.D. devs are doing a good job to signal the changes that may impact mods from one version to another. Maybe modders (I totally include myself here) should be more alert to release dates. And of course, be clear on installation instructions, care about cross-compatibility with other mods, and other stuff that sometimes is done without precise or established guidelines.

I added a section in https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/PortA27ToR28 which links to https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/ModdingGuiAndSimulation.

Everything is supposed to be on there https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/PortA27ToR28 but it's not always respected; (The new one for R29 is empty) We cannot always keep the old functions;

First test with clouds moving on the map =D

Don't underestimate the power of testing Releasing is always when you find the worst bugs Also I can help you with tooling like checkrefs to find broken / missing art files.

Does anyone know of other video´s that show the new A28 changes? I am curious.

This looks amazingly amazing ! I didn't follow, is there anything playtestable yet ?

I'd like to add that this time autociv update was even faster than before. r28 was released this wednesday and we already have compatibily with it

goes well, that means ”up”. tried 1v1, tg. goes well.

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

Hi devs and modders, In 0 A.D. 27 and before it was possible to mod the pregame page by adding scripts to the gui/pregame folder. Example of applications are: adding items to the main menu; running startup scripts. Since commit 0fcc4f5fc5 the gui/pregame directory is not loaded anymore, in favour of loading the mainmenu.js file only. It is not clear how mod scripts can run in this page after this change. ✖ It is not an option to override mainmenu.js, mainmenu.xml, page_pregame.xml or other files. This will of course break the compatibility with other mods, as only the last loaded mod will execute the code. Maybe @phosit, do you have an idea? I am pinging you as the author of the change. Thanks.

Stunning screenshots !

TGs on the Pokeball will go crazy

The "append" keyword has to be used where modules are used. It's tracked here. Note: Modules are enabled in the GUI doesn't mean that in the whole GUI modules are used (IIRC in R28 only in pregame and splashscreen). I wouldn't make .append the default. It serves as distinction between appendixes and plain files. @GrapjasYes that's the (my) desired way of doing it. And it's weird that it doesn't work. (I tested appending multiple files. I think it's something about the content of the files. The next line is appended without a newline. Maybe the implicit semicolon doesn't work at the end of a file.) When the file would get to big you could also import some variables: import { menuEntry } from "gui/pregame/grapjasAdditions.js"; mainMenuItems.unshift(menuEntry);

Thanks for your work! Also, the new log ram is cute (and efficient).

Update: I ended up deciding for "haimaz". I explained my thoughts about it here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8722#issuecomment-135305 I want thank you both for the research and debate, I think the debate itself is also valuable, not just the result. And let's stay on the ground and don't exaggerate the importance of this, after all it is just single term among hundreds in the game. And for the future, let's act in such a way that we'll never have to remove the "No historians were harmed" disclaimer...

Why didn't you play test for the last 3 months? You surely won't claim that isn't enough time, would you?

I'd prefer tactical, diplomatic, or civilization-building bonuses. Economic bonuses are pretty annoying and make them after a wonder seems late. And military bonuses unbalance endgame battles and reduce the depth of strategies and troop movement. We can imagine a passif bonus for wonder and one different by civilisation. Passive : increase capture resistance of the player X2, give 40 house population (not a pop cap). Passive by civilisation : need fix it Civilization Passive Effect Details / RTS Notes Rome Pax Romana Forces a global ceasefire for 1 minute. Cooldown: 10 minutes. / Useful for repositioning armies or delaying an assault. Can trade on roman camp. Maurya Universal Knowledge All technologies become free for the player. Permanent bonus. / Encourages technological superiority. Sparta Double Hero & League Tax Can recruit a second hero simultaneously. “League Tax” bonus: receives 40 metal every 60 seconds per controlled ally (0 in duel, 120 in 4v4 team games). Athens Hero Memory Allows recruitment of heroes who have died. / Encourages high-risk play and strategic planning. Carthage Carthaginian Ingenuity Walls automatically regenerate. Metal mines deplete more slowly (+50% metal in each mine), Military production buildings construct 50% faster. Bretons Champion Monks Monks can switch into melee combat units (like Immortals) via a button. Strong attack, weak resistance./ Adds strategic versatility, new unit for a lot cost Iberians Vigilance & Engineering Building have line of sight increased by 100%.- Castles construct 50% faster. Enhances map control and rapid fortifications. Macedonians Macedonians strengh Allow the recruitment of 4 general, higher champ cav, with 500 HP in stables. / Adds strategic versatility, new unit for a lot cost Kush Camel expansion New unit in stable slower than horse but they have an aura -25% attack for ennemy horses. Gauls ? ? Ptol Pyramid All pyramid can produce all champ unit type and they heal like a temple

Congrats to all involved to make A28 possible I guess it's time to get back to grapejuice. Also wanna point out this handy changelog overview for my fellow modders https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/Release28 EDIT: I just noticed the orignal post has the link aswell lol, ah well can't hurt to show it again.

Version 0.2 here! Compatible with R28! BuildingHotkeys.zip

Current elo and current rank are all in order: Highest rating is greater or equal as the current rating. Maybe you think the win rate should correlate to the elo, but that depends on elo of the enemy that the players faced which are not shown here. To understand the elo distribution maybe this video helps: el

Great job reducing the polies! Right, I'd make the ivory brighter like the original, but your gold is better than the original. Mind if I create some different sizes, slap together some actors and templates, and then make a pull request for the base game? I'd make some different sizes, including "monumental" versions for possible Capture the Wonder game mode.

What dangers might this dense forest of ancient Japan hide?

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Hi all, proud to present the result of another project I made a retopology to reduce the polycount 29k tris ->7k tris. I wasn't entirely happy with the old diffuse so I baked a new one and added some details to it. The faces are difficult to paint as you can see lol. The ivory could be slightly brigther now that I see it. Mod's attached and here are some before/after pictures: athena.zip

Athenian Hero Roster. Guess who they are? I think it'd be fun to add a bunch of other, non-trainable heroes to the game, if only for the Herocide game mode. Alcibiades, Aristotle, and Demosthenes would be great examples.
