Well you can fix it for the next version https://www.transifex.com/wildfire-games/search/?q=source_text%3Askirmisher+target_language%3Ade https://www.transifex.com/wildfire-games/search/?q=source_text%3Ajavelineer+target_language%3Ade Probably something @Nescio might want to unify

Just depends on the map

Only what's in the changelog

Greetings everyone, The new and hopefully final release candidate (RC) is here! Revision: rP24933 Windows: https://releases.wildfiregames.com/rc/0ad-0ad-0.0.24rc3-24933-alpha-win32.exe MacOS: https://releases.wildfiregames.com/rc/0ad-0ad-0.0.24rc3-24933-alpha-osx64.dmg All RCs are available here: https://releases.wildfiregames.com/rc.

If you want to help more you can also perform those steps Launch a random game Launch a skirmish. Connect to the lobby Play on the lobby with someone Launch Atlas and try things out there Open Unit tests demo (To see if there any breakage in displaying entity's) (It's in scenarios) Try mods through modio only. (A23B MODS WILL NOT WORK) Enable feedback and see if it works (Main menu) Connect to and use mod.io Test replaying new games Test Screenshots (F2) Test Big Screenshots (Maj+F2) Test hotkeys Test Saving and loading a game. Test Quickload/Quicksave If you need any help ping me And of course you can play games with the RC. CHANGELOG: rP24933 [Windows] Automated build.

To set an active texture you need to use the node editor. There add an image texture with your blank one and click on it to make it "active"

Is it possible Imgur is banned in you country ?

Dan could you provide basic steps for correct AO baking in blender 2.9?

Take your time for the translations, we're currently in translation freeze which means all the work will be mostly for next alpha

I think it's a TLS issue, can you try disabling it?

Stay tuned.

Hey Rako, Nope it's not me Glad to hear you figured it out! Maybe you could upload the files somewhere in case other people want to do the same

Might be worth showing you this. You asked me a few times what was my strange mode It's Atlas the map editor! That's where you can test things like skyboxes and other funny settings. Such as HDR DOF and bloom Which have been messing with your screenshots . There once was an attempt to improve all this mess but the patch was too big https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1486 editor.mp4 Would be nice to have it as a patch on Phab

Don't We're almost ready to release

Greetings, and welcome to the forums! Thank you, I will get deeper into things soon enough. Ought to be working right now. Good! Let me know if you have any questions, or if something sounds strange or weird Takes some contributions first, but we had some historians. @feneur was probably around (Might want to leave the spammer post limit if it's not done already) Yeah sure, you can edit trac pages for the website we don't have an easy contribution process, but you can make suggestions for sure. SVN and Git mirrors On Gitlab and Github, with the only difference that git is updated once per day. We use arcanist for contributions, but we can delve into that later, and you can use the webinterface of code.wildfiregames.com for the time being; PS: If you speak welsh well enough, or know people who do, you can also help adding the translation in the language https://www.transifex.com/wildfire-games/0ad/language/cy/

You need to compile the game https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions

Yeah better now

It's still quite dark. Is it because of the AO? or lack thereof?

system info and crashlog coming but not this is not actual crash and the game continued fine. Reported by @Edwarf @vladislavbelov The replay is another bug. Two of A six women batch at the beginning of the game decided to back after being tasked to the woodline @wraitii 2021-02-16_0005.zip

What about the skybox ?

Not really most of them use model.fs

GPU are actually very under used. The game is mostly cpu bound. The switching is mostly done by the driver. The point of those materials is to allow artists to have models with only a few textures eg only diffuse, or diffuse + spec, diffuse +spec + ao, diffuse +spec + ao + parallax, diffuse +ao etc. If you load a material requiring more texture you'll get warnings.

According to vladislav "we might have up to 200-300 shader switches per-frame" And yes all are used.

Well thankfully we don't have a shader per object. But we do indeed have quite a few shader. ---------------- basic_trans family For transparent objects Has a bad perf impact. basic_trans_{ao}_{parallax}_{spec} Special one basic_trans_{wind} (moves like if pushed by wind) ----- no_trans family No special stuff plain old diff spec normal parallax no_trans_{ao}_{parallax}_{spec} ----- player_trans family. multiplies a player color on the texture player_trans_{ao}_{parallax}_{spec} ------ There is also basic_spec creates a spec without specular texture basic glow creates a very faint glow effect using the alpha channel of the specular. objectcolor.xml is like player trans but you define the color in the actor

Ah yeah I see. In general the specular was made for metallic parts but I can see how that went wrong for some stuff.

Well it stayed as poc as the mod was not finished. Nowadays Nephy works on another mode called Hyrule conquest. I suppose we could use it for shields. I'm not sure I get you. Are we talking about the new bronze shields speculars that were made yellow so they could keep that tint or do you also talk about b&w ones ?
