I personally like your original division. It only seems fair since the owner of the trader made the initial investment and is responsible for keeping it alive.

Any news on this? Perhaps the staff topic could be moved into the open forum, so as to enable other folks to help out with any tasks that need to be done?

We can hope it won't take forever But I'm sure the project will go on for as long as need be.

What makes you think it is forgotten? People may just be busy with other things.

What purpose does it serve to state the obvious? If you want more programmers working on gameplay, why not read up on some programming tutorials and work on it yourself? It's bound to be a lot more effective than wasting your energy on complaining about others not doing it.

I get it too, but only when the Gardens are in view, so probably something to do with the high amount of polys/entities.

I was working on this, but it felt a bit like a hack. I might give it a fresh look when/if things are moved to Git.

You get no errors after doing "update-workspaces" or "make"?

Nice video. What OS are you on? Something is wrong with your mouse pointer.

As Yves said, you need to install "patch" and try again.

The .exe is pre-built. If there is only a .exe, you haven't compiled the Unix binary yet.

There's already mineable temple ruins in the game, if I am not mistaken. Regarding rubble, it might be nice if decals faded slowly instead of suddenly vanishing?

It's a bit strange that this issue keeps coming up. As mentioned in the "known issues" thread (and by k766 above), the reasons for the poor performance are well-understood. There are profiling features built into the engine that allow developers to measure exactly how much processor time is spent in each component of the game. In other words: do not blame your CPU Don't blame your GPU either as the slowness is not a hardware issue at all. Rather, it is an artifact of using alpha quality software not intended for general consumption.

The Gardens can currently be seen in the Persian sandbox scenario.

Would people be more receptive to moving to Git if there were an autoupdater in place? Given that updating binaries is the main obstacle to that? We can probably make a 'development channel' for autobuilt binaries and then a separate channel for actual releases.

Better to wait until all the text strings and user interfaces are stable.

"Figure 5. A conjectural reconstruction of a wooden chaityagriha (from Percy Brown’s Indian Architecture, 1942)" Percy Brown apparently is a scholar of Buddhist architecture, so though the idea is described as "conjectural", it can't be too far-fetched (assuming the page quotes him correctly etc.)

What is the source for this image? Maybe it could add some useful context...

Okay (I'd dig it out, but darn that thread is long.)

I believe you posted a video showing a building with those arches in wood in the other Mauryan thread?

Lions already do attack player units. I also suggested that if a unit attacks a child elephant, nearby adult elephants should retaliate to simulate herd behavior. But it was not well-received

I am pretty sure the AI and RMS stuff was split into different APIs because it was deemed to be the best design - not because it was too hard to combine them into a "one API to rule them all" sort of thing. I would be interested to see any evidence to the contrary, though.

(Perhaps the last few posts should be migrated to a separate topic?) I'm actually curious why triggers are considered a 'major' addition insofar that a trigger is just "something that calls something else on some condition". At first blush, that seems pretty straightforward compared to some other recent additions, like click-drag walls and the new sound manager. So what is the catch?
