[[Multiplayer Lobby] - Autohost Bot]

Everything derived from 0 A.D. is open source. I can provide a diff if requested, but currently the code is experimental, rather messy (and a hackjob)

Note that this won't allow you to host if you couldn't before. It merely allows one that can host to provide a service of hosting without human interaction by the host.

Hi,

I haven't work with 0ad code before, and my 'coding-skill' is not good - my job is woking around with PHP and web servers So I cant promise that I can make a change for autohost

But, I will try to run autobot on a VPS server first, then on 2 VPS [ 1 in EU-(I dont know which country is good) and 1 in Singapore - for ASIAn user ]. And bewent 2 VPS have a fast VPN connection, and I hope I can make people from EU and Asian can play together, in 1 room and low ping - I wonder why 0ad didn't have 'ping-show' yet

[Money,taxes and caravans]

Well, if you take that to its extreme you would only have one resource (and I'd find that a bit boring, but there are certainly other games just using one or two resources). Or on the other hand you could probably argue that there are reasons to split the existing resources up in a ton of different ones. But for 0 A.D. it was chosen to have wood, food, metal (which includes both currency and raw material), and stone, and at this point I really don't see why we should change that (especially since there are always going to be people who want fewer/more resources and arguments as to why). Four is a middle ground between having so few resources that there's no variety and so many that it's impossible to balance the game (or for the players to keep track of them for that matter)

Hello, I thinks add money is good

You collect money from tax ( which define on area you have ) and pay for solders salary ( or use food to keep them if they're female, citizent; and champian have highter salary ), and you sould pay for building too.

Image a player have langer area. He must have munbers of building, so he had to work hard to pay for solder and build -> Game is more blance

Sorry for my English.

Great Idea! Is it open-soucre too ?

[[Idea][Muiltiplay] - Maps loader from host.]

Hello,

Thank you for a good game and freedom.

Proplem is: If host have his own map. He want play with user on lobly. He must upload it to some where, tel others to download and pase into *mods/public/maps/ folder to play with him. This make lazy users don't want to help him do a test.

The idea [2]:

• Make a plugin which is will auto download map from host if the map is not exsit in his computer.

This is not requite a server for mods. Quick share maps you just make.

• Make a mods server where user can download and install mods with one-click only.

This is requite a server to stores maps, mods and build future for 0ad. But it stop some cheat. Mods can be review by developments or some one have permisstion before upload.

Then, This is just my ideas. I understand 0ad developers have many many things to do. But I hope you can do some things like my ideas. It will make 0ad have more maps, mods and more tester and grow faster.

Thank you again beacuse create this wonderfull game.

P/s: Some time, this game make me want to learn write code for help build this game haha ( )
