If anybody hasn't update the map files, I'd be glad to do it. Besides it would be my first commit to the game
-
Not to mention, the Mauryans have a 10% civ bonus, but Spartans have 10% decrease.
-
Good start. I think the corners of the dome could be more subtle. But since its not a grand structure like the CC or temple, I'd use a flat roof rather than the curved roof.
-
Hah... nice one Thorfinn
-
-
Love the new gates and graphics the best. Job well done
-
Added a patch that adjust random map "Fortress" to the working gates: http://trac.wildfire...com/ticket/1654
Sweet, thanks

Thats a good start right there.

What... I thought we were going with DRAGON as the name? (We had a nice discussion on IRC
)21:42 < Aviv_> Can anyone change "qBot XP" to "Kronos"?
21:42 < Geek377> Hello Aviv_
21:42 < Aviv_> hi all
21:42 < Mythos_Ruler> hi
21:43 -!- Enrique [webchat@238.42.222.87.dynamic.jazztel.es] has joined #0ad-dev
21:43 < Geek377> Meh... I think qBot xp shouldn't be Kronos... the name doesn't have a wow factor...
21:43 < Mythos_Ruler> What about Zeus?
21:43 <@historicbruno> "Geek377, historicbruno: The osx-source din't output a pyrogenesis in binaries/system" -- oops I missed this
21:44 <@historicbruno> Geek377, you did update-workspaces? you used make?
21:44 < Geek377> Yes.
21:44 < Geek377> Mythos_Ruler: I think we overuse Greek mythology too much.
21:44 <@historicbruno> if there's no pyrogenesis then the build must have failed
21:45 <@historicbruno> try make again and see if there's any error in the output
21:45 < Geek377> Hmmm there is pyrogenesis.exe.config
21:45 < Mythos_Ruler> Geek377: Yes, but everyone knows it.
21:45 < Mythos_Ruler> What about Xerxes?
21:46 < Mythos_Ruler> Anyone?
21:46 < Geek377> I liked the name Agamemnon... but historical figures isn't a good thing. What if the scenario has that figure in it?
21:46 * Deiz would like to name the bot "Ed"
21:46 * k776 doesn't approve of a separate player_trans_spec_helmet.xml just for helmets
21:46 < Mythos_Ruler> Agamemnon is Greek mythology.... which you don't want to use. lol
21:47 < Geek377> Like a Persian scenario involving Xerxes... player name would be Xerxes, bot name would be Xerxes. And no, I said we overuse it, not that I don't want it
21:47 < Mythos_Ruler> k776: I can just turn up the specularity of the player_trans_spec material.
21:47 <@Deiz> Or, perhaps we could use a disease with a base word derived from Greek
21:48 <@historicbruno> I also don't like proper names
21:48 <@Deiz> All hail the new AI, Pancreatitis
21:48 < Mythos_Ruler> I liked Hephaestus myself.
21:48 < Geek377> lol... only you Deiz
21:48 <@historicbruno> but I don't know enough Greek or Latin roots to think of a good name for an AI
21:48 <@k776> We seem to have an aweful lot of materials now: http://trac.wildfire...c/art/materials
21:49 <@k776> It's a shame the conditional system downgrades materials rather than just effects
21:49 <@historicbruno> a new material is the only way to change any of the parameters without affecting every model using the material
21:49 -!- Yves` [~Yves@152-40.1-85.cust.bluewin.ch] has joined #0ad-dev
21:50 <@historicbruno> it wouldn't be bad IMO if actors could set those parameters and override the material
21:50 < Geek377> http://chaoticshiny.com/namegen.php <--- Random name gen
21:51 < Aviv_> How about "Mithras"
21:51 < Geek377> Hmm... anyone considered Achilles?
21:52 <@k776> I'd have combined <define /> and <conditional_define /> as well
21:52 <@k776> e.g. http://pastie.org/4652891
21:52 <@k776> (that format seems a lot cleaner to me)
21:52 <@historicbruno> Mithras would be interesting
21:52 <@k776> (thats combining player_trans_ao_spec.xml and player_trans_ao_parallax_spec.xml
21:53 <@k776> Anyway
21:53 < Enrique> Persian wonder, hanging gardens wip: http://img341.images...330/testmoi.jpg
21:53 < Enrique> and another one: http://img217.images...750/test2zw.jpg
21:53 <@Deiz> That looks pretty good.
21:53 < Geek377> Nice +1
21:53 <@historicbruno> oh hey, how about "Victor"
21:54 < erik_feneur> +1 +1
21:54 < Geek377> lol... whats the use of name that means the exact opposite
21:54 <@k776> Or "Vector". Strikes with direction and magnitude
21:54 <@k776>
21:54 < erik_feneur> (I.e. those hanging gardens looks nice and Victor might be a good name)
21:54 < erik_feneur> Vector
21:54 -!- Enrique is now known as Enrique_away
21:54 < Geek377> I think wonders should have a huge footprint... especially the hanging garden
21:54 < Aviv_> +1
21:55 <@historicbruno> Enrique_away, wow very nice!
21:55 < Aviv_> Enrique_away, excellent work
21:55 < leper> Mythos_Ruler: You told the truth
21:55 < Enrique_away> thanks guys
21:55 < Enrique_away> Geek377: it has the same footprint as the big pyramid in atlas
21:55 < leper> Enrique_away: awsome
21:55 < Geek377> Hmmm... vector works.
21:56 < Aviv_> I wonder if we can decide on a name w/o the creator of the AI
21:56 < Mythos_Ruler> Victor
21:56 < Geek377> http://en.wikipedia....logical_objects
21:56 < Geek377> How about an object? Rather than a figure or person?
21:57 <@Deiz> Keep in mind that qBot-xp will likely be merged into qBot in the future
21:57 <@Deiz> Leaving one AI
21:57 <@historicbruno> Victor could be like the name, I've known people named Victor/Viktor, or it could be like the Latin, victorious/winner
21:58 < Geek377> Helios... because no matter the outcome, the AI shines bright throughout the game
21:58 <@Deiz> Lies.
21:58 <@historicbruno> Helios is not bad
21:58 <@Deiz> The AI completely stalls at times
21:58 < Mythos_Ruler> Aegis
21:58 < leper> Deiz: Stalios ;p
21:59 < Mythos_Ruler> Aegis--Athena's shield endowed with the head of Medusa.
21:59 < Mythos_Ruler> What about Gorgon?
22:00 -!- ortalo [~ortalo@laf31-3-82-225-216-155.fbx.proxad.net] has quit [Read error: EOF from client]
22:00 < Geek377> +1 for Aegis... Gorgon is just outright insulting to the lines of JS that make up the bot
22:00 -!- Kimball [~Kimball@67-135-167-138.dia.static.qwest.net] has quit [Quit]
22:02 < Aviv_> Well, let me know when you guys have made up your mind
22:02 < Aviv_> I am off to sleep
22:02 < Aviv_> Good night
22:02 -!- Aviv_ [~chatzilla@93-173-164-43.bb.netvision.net.il] has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.88.2 [Firefox 15.0/20120824154833]]
22:02 <@Deiz> Testbot, JuBot, qBot... Aegis?
22:02 <@Deiz> Needs more continuity.
22:02 < erik_feneur> Aegisbot?
22:03 < Geek377> wraitii would probably just end up naming it another female star... like he did with marilyn
22:03 <@historicbruno> Oh no, not Gagabot
22:03 < Geek377> lol
22:03 < Yves`> ro-bot
22:03 < Yves`>
22:03 < Geek377> xD
22:04 <@historicbruno> DasBot
22:04 < Yves`> but only if it supports ships well
22:04 < erik_feneur> It seems like we'll end up with nobot if we can't decide on a name
22:05 <@Deiz> anonybot
22:06 < Geek377> lol.... nobot
22:06 < Geek377> Omega? because its the end for noobs?
22:07 < Yves`> maybe we should decide later since it won't be the default bot in Alpha11 anyway (right?)
22:07 <@historicbruno> nullbot ?
22:09 < Yves`> Or just rename all bots like: Demo Bot, Bot V1, Bot V2 (stable), Bot V3 (experimental)
22:09 < Yves`> This would at least make it clear
22:09 < Geek377> How about [name] (difficulty)
22:10 <@Deiz> I have the ultimate name
22:10 < Yves`> I don't like naming them by difficulty
22:10 <@Deiz> DRAGON: Dreadful Recursive Acronym; Generally Overwrought Nonsense
22:10 <@historicbruno> difficulty is a bogus concept at this point
22:11 <@Deiz> Actually, that's not recursive
22:11 < leper> Deiz: That ain't recursive
22:11 <@Deiz> It was, but I broke it
22:11 <@Deiz> DRAGON Recurses Awfully; Generally Overwrought Nonsense <- Better
22:12 < leper> DREADFUL: Dragon recursive easy acronym; does find unicorn love
22:13 < Geek377> lol... Those in favor of DRAGON? (Thats power right there pople... beats Kronos wings down)
22:13 <@historicbruno> Mythos_Ruler, pick one and edit this file lol http://trac.wildfire...ot-wc/data.json
22:13 <@Deiz> Keep in mind that the AI name field is kind of tiny
22:14 <@Deiz> So it can't be "overly long name bot"
22:15 < Yves`> About recursion: http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Recursion
22:15 < erik_feneur>
22:15 < Yves`> The fantastic thing about recursion is that it contains the word recoursion IN ITSELF!
22:15 <@Deiz> It should be rBot
22:15 <@Deiz> (It comes after q)
22:16 <@historicbruno> FooBot
22:16 <@k776> Does anyone else think this would help or hinder? http://www.wildfireg...180#entry249852
22:17 < Mythos_Ruler> done
22:17 <@Deiz> Bahhhhh.
22:17 <@historicbruno> k776, I'd rather drop the concept of numeric quality
22:18 < leper> Mythos Bot
22:18 < leper> so everybody can beat Mythos
22:18 <@k776> historicbruno: Ok, in favour of?
22:18 < Mythos_Ruler> gtg guys
22:18 < Mythos_Ruler> l8r
22:19 -!- Mythos_Ruler [webchat@c-67-165-135-108.hsd1.in.comcast.net] has quit [Quit: Page closed]
22:19 < Yves`> My opinion is that the name should make it easier for players to find out which bot to choose
22:19 <@Deiz> He changes it and then leaves!
22:19 <@Deiz> I vote we change it to something else
22:19 <@historicbruno> I like Aegis
22:19 <@Deiz> We should develop some sort of design-by-committee compromise
22:19 <@Deiz> Let's take some letters from everybody's suggestions and make an anagram
22:19 <@Deiz> And use that.
22:20 < leper> what about wfgbot?
22:20 < Yves`> Aegis Bot is fine for me but we should keep the "(experimental)" for the moment
22:20 < Geek377> no... wfgbot is for IRC
22:21 <@k776> Hmm Killbot, Pwnbot, Shredbot, VectorBot
22:21 < Geek377> Achilles... strong but the heel is the pathfinder?
22:21 < Yves`> I've never managed to play a whole game without error messages
22:21 < leper> but we could tell players that look for multiplayer opponents that wfgbot will play against them in singleplayer ;p
22:21 < Geek377> And the bot's defensive counterpart could be Ajax
22:21 < erik_feneur> Yves`: Not sure how a name can ever do that fully, at least not unless we include something like (hard) or (defensive) or (rusher) etc, which might be equally bad for people who don't know the terms. I'd say use the description to explain more than say (experimental) or (outdated).
22:21 <@Deiz> We could also make an all-encompassing name
22:21 <@Deiz> OmniBot
Either way, I'm excited to try out Aegis

Can one comment on eBay products? If so... leave on saying those dudes have been ripped off.
@Erik, I know its OS and people can redistribute but I think we can all agree that scamming people (especially during alpha releases) is a bit too far. If you're going to scam them at least have some sense to do it when the game is complete...
-
Nice to have you. I think we have some native Spanish speaker here
-
That's a local link
Mea culpa... fixed. Its not much, I never got around to adding anything significant.
-
I'd hold off on the Mauryan theme for now... because they won't be ready by Alpha 12. Besides, Alpha 13 has to begin with an "M"
We already had an alpha name featuring Mauryans (Jhelum) so lets hold off on them for now.
-
Lets move out of the scope of Ancient Greece. I feel that many of there are many other cultures we don't explore
How about "Livy" to honor the historian and because 0 A.D. is based on history?
Or perhaps "Leucetios", the Celtic god of thunder?
-
Downloading now
-
Oh wow... this is map would give the pathfinder a heart attack. Its turning out really nice. Want to release a quick demo or do you prefer to just release once its all complete?
-
Such restrictions are against the GPL (and unnecessary).
By restrict I meant not via license per se but just by asking them to take it down. Also once 0 A.D. is finished, I don't see any harm in having an official CD distribution store (the game gets distributed to people without fast Internet and its good publicity). Also having an official CD prevents people from being scammed into buying the incomplete game.
-
Okay time to report this idiot... I'm sorry I just don't like his whole scam operation going on. Yes he is technically allowed to sell 0 AD and scam people. But what about the other items? And besides, its just morally wrong. Just the kind of thing to make a dent in the OS movement. Just plain disgusting.
Oh, and I agree that we should restrict the selling of third party binaries...
And a note on the main menu saying "If you paid money for this game, you got scammed. Get the updated version for free at www.wildfiregames.com".
This could be bypassed by editing the files.

Hmm... I hope Unity incorporates web publishing without their web player plugin. Thanks for sharing
-
Out team member Matthijs did some motion capture. But this stuff seems pretty cool.
-
All this and more can be done with a Webkit (or similar) GUI... which reminds me... I started on this but never got around to finishing it.
-
The historical accuracy of the show is quite high, especially in terms of the story.
-
Thanks dude... now to move on to the broken +1 buttons

By the way, sound is now available on the Mac and will be part of Alpha 11 which should be out soon

The idea of Mesoamerican civilizations sounds attractive. There has been recent evidence suggesting these guys were more advanced than we think. If you guys get a chance, 1491 by Charles C. Mann is a nice read for history geeks.
