You can play with the settings there https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/materials/player_water.xml We might need a special copy of this file as there are 12 other files using that material.

What are you playing on? Desktop PC or Laptop PC. If it's a laptop can you force the dedicated GPU for the game ? See https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/article/switching-to-your-pcs-dedicated-gpu-amd/000081033 And https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MR5IIFlkTtY Off Topic: (We need a wiki page like this ^ )

It uses whatever the map settings are on the version you used. We don't support different types of water. Another solution is to use the ones on this page. A third solution is to replace the animated water texture by a flat texture with transparency. It will probably look bad and cost some performance though.

Why ? I's fixed now

@Genava55 Indeed it's hard to keep track of everything. My biggest problems with civ design when it comes to art has always been the lack of cohesion of information. 60 threads of pictures everywhere with random discussion happening in the middle of them. I think @Sundiata managed to get it organised the best for the Kushites probably because there have been little other voices talking about it. Of course there are the civ wiki pages but those only describe units accurately most of the time. I think it could be beneficial to have an organised place to all of this, publicly editable but with reviews so people could make suggestions without it being a complete mess. They have to be removed from the han_china mod on Github before they are even included in the game.

Just pass -mod=mod

The base functionnality is in the game. It has several limitations however.

@Freagarach added basic support for turrets recently, https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1958 This need to be extended to support horses, and to find a good way to forward orders between the mount and the turrets which is why we do not currently use it for chariots but we could.

There are still some hardcounters for spear cavalry against other kinds of cavalry (1.75), and for spearmen against cavalry (3).

Well technically we support attacking in formation it's just that the code is broken so it was disabled.

Do note though, that auras can be slow.

Yes in the future.

Well first step is Freetype then we'll see about text rendering https://code.wildfiregames.com/D4108

Not really no, seems unrelated.

You could try to diff both your oos logs, see if something shows up

Mmh, some of those are different, so will have to be careful Thanks for digging it up though

Okay, so first fun fact the script is marked as a POSIX shell script by the shebang (#!/bin/sh) but uses arrays pushd and popd which are not compatible among other features. Needs to be fixed. Then run the script noticed the skeleton errors. Other fun fact they are present in the packaging script just nobody noticed them (which ran on macOS) https://jenkins.wildfiregames.com/blue/rest/organizations/jenkins/pipelines/macos-all-bundles/runs/131/nodes/30/steps/31/log/?start=0 ERROR: art/animation/other/hele_trireme_fore_sail_idle.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/other/hele_trireme_fore_sail_move.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/others/camel_rein_attack_melee.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/others/camel_rein_death.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/others/camel_rein_drop.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/others/camel_rein_idle.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/others/camel_rein_run.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/others/camel_rein_sit_drop.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/animation/others/camel_rein_trot.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 393): failed requirement "recognised skeleton structure" ERROR: art/meshes/gaia/tree_apple_top_e.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 570): failed requirement "mesh has single set of polygons" ERROR: art/meshes/gaia/tree_apple_top_f.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 570): failed requirement "mesh has single set of polygons" ERROR: art/meshes/gaia/tree_apple_top_g.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 570): failed requirement "mesh has single set of polygons" ERROR: art/meshes/gaia/tree_apple_top_h.dae: Assertion not satisfied (line 570): failed requirement "mesh has single set of polygons" WARNING: art/meshes/gaia/tree_apple_trunk_c.dae: FCollada 105: Polygons is empty.

I'm voluntarily excluding the iccp profile errors as they have been there for a while and so far have not caused much damage.

It used to be the more reliable platform. I will test on my Ubuntu when I get the chance. But I've never had any issue on any of the three platforms with a clean svn.

Indeed we seem to use only -mod=mod We use build-archives.sh you can see the code here https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/build/jenkins/pipelines/macos-all-bundles.Jenkinsfile Is it possible that the executable can't read the xml file for some reason ? Maybe a mingw bug with crlf or something ? I didn't test but maybe the collada.dll file doesn't work (I wouldn't have noticed using the release data) Where is the public mod located ? Could be a matter of relative paths. At this point I'm just spitballing.

@Rarius As far as I know Ubuntu doesn't have A25b (It's stuck at A23), only the PPAS and snaps do. Had to make sure since some people use Synaptics which allows for this kind of problem. Ah yes Ratings got kicked... The only visible difference is the build number in the main menu. For A25 it's 25848 and for A25b 25860

I suppose we need it for PSA conversion, because it only uses the list of bones specified in that XML file. I once made a packaging mod https://github.com/StanleySweet/package_mod/tree/master/art/skeletons to remove the need from those extra mods. It contains textures.xml files for instructions on what to convert, and the skeletons . of course, it won't work if you have new skeletons e.g packaging hyrule or something; WSL2: First file is the "corrupted" one. file metal_desert_small_* metal_desert_small_a.dds: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0xff, active 0x8a, start-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), end-CHS (0x3ff,255,63), startsector 3587178495, 3468469193 sectors; partition 4 : ID=0xff, active 0xe2, start-CHS (0x3ff,14,63), end-CHS (0x3ff,255,63), startsector 4294180863, 4278223684 sectors metal_desert_small_a.dds.b22d835129a068cf.dds: Microsoft DirectDraw Surface (DDS): 128 x 128, compressed using DXT1 Here is a working version, (converted using NVTT) metal_desert_small_a.dds It's built-in as of 2.0.10 IIRC.

Yes, you need the mod mod, and the public mod, compressed or not in the binaries/data/mods folder. md is me messing up with my phone, it's obviously -mod=public Real. Same for all mods using skeletons meshes. Mmmh that file works fine in gimp... metal_desert_small_a.xcf

Yes it should be the correct one. Make sure both 0ad and 0ad-data are using that version.

You mean no one wants to use a web browser to use a chat application? (webchat.quakenet.org) More seriously though, you can find some devs on Discord (like me!) but some others disagree totally with the philosophy of this app, the fact that isn't open source, etc.

Sounds fair
