  9. Why not moving to Git?

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    Posted

    There were 2 instances of big platforms creating problems in the last few years:

    • SourceForge chose to replace installers with their own and added ads/additional software to them
    • Google Code shut down (to be fair to them, they made it easy to migrate to GitHub)

    Also, GitHub (as opposed to Git) isn't free/libre.

    So, as long as Wildfire Games has the manpower and money to maintain their own, they should stick with it. And a webserver maintainer isn't necessarily an application programmer as well, so maintaining the thing probably doesn't take that much away from development time.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of Bazaar because the commands are dead easy, but sadly their tools are seriously undermaintained these days.

  10. Did you contribute to 0 AD? Make sure you get in the credits!

    The translators' credit script will pick up the "Last-Translator:" field in the .po file headers as generated by the Transifex interface.

    So, after changing your account information on Transifex, you'll have to wait until the next translation update is run on the code base, make sure that you're in one of the file headers, and then double-check that you don't get duplicate credit.

  15. New forum layout lacks contrast

    Thanks for agreeing to look into this :)

    I call anything that's almost white pastels, be it grey or not. I have a friend who can't access GitHub at all due to modern web design, because he can't see anything. So, it's one of my pet peeves ;)

    A good tool to see if you have any contrast is to take a screenshot and convert it to greyscale. There is also a website that you can run things through, but the link is non my other computer, so I'll have to dig it up there.

    I am attaching some with everything that's hard to see or completely invisible to people with a slight vision impairment. Blue is for backgrounds that are almost indistinguishable from their backgrounds, e.g. it's hard to see that the tabs on top are tabs.

    I forgot to underline the SUBFORUMS header on this one:

    The options page is also inconsistent:

    We also have "General" without "Settings", but "Sound Settings" etc. This should be consistent as well - having "General Settings" would be easiest for translators, dropping the "Settings" would be less to read for the user. If some context info is provided for translators, dropping the "Settings" bits will be fine.

    Autocorrect strikes again? :P

    Athenians can use doric columns, their most iconic temple is of the doric order lol.

    If it isn't too much work and won't violate historical accuracy, it could make sense though to give one of them only Doric and the other only Ionic columns to make them more recognizable in the game:

    • Internal visual cohesion of the faction
    • Visual differentiation between the factions
