Hopefully this is a way to get the new dev team acquainted with the specific AoE game-style in order to prepare them for Age of Empires 4.

You can send me a pm.

That number of tris isn't too high voor a building, though it might require a few optimizations

Sorry to say, but I do not really like those towers, it almost looks as if you have put a lighthouse on the deck.

Wow, looks good. Any chances of texturing? If not, I would like to try something.

Today I came across some nice models: http://www.sharecg.com/v/22777/gallery/5/3D-Model/Viking-Longboat?interstitial_displayed=Yes http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/free-viking-sword-3d-model/766859 Are we allowed to use them?

Well spoken.

.com domain is paid isn't it? Plus a page on moddb and such sites would be enough I suppose. I don't need purple curtains.

What is your system looking like? I've used Fraps but didn't liked it too much but that depended heavily on my system. Enormous file sizes and the additional CPU usage made 0 A.D. running very bad on my Windows XP system (Which had an old AMD Phenom 2,2GHz x4). But it's definitely worth trying out.

Upload a video to YouTube and paste the link in your post, the site itself will do the rest.

Something like this? Sorry for the blurry text.

A few months is always safe No, it will be released earlier I guess, but there isn't a strict released date though it's scheduled for 5 weeks. Expect a at least week or two delay so the most early release date is in about 7 weeks. You can keep trac of it here: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/roadmap

Looking forward to it!

The movie has nothing to do with AoM. It's about the forgotten empires expansion for AoE 2.

Any numbers on code speed? (So actually: will it cause the game to lag more and if yes, how much?) Even though it might slow down the game, keep up your work! It is good to create a easier way to access game resources for AI's (It might even encourage me to write a little AI, even though Hephaestion already picked up my idea and started working on (decision tree)).

+1

Of course separate repos (whether that would be combined into one organization with collaborators), but I merely was talking about the way to assign tasks. I wondered if creating a general repo is the right way to do so. @Stan There is already a very quick, good way to do so, without overwriting main game files.

Would it be right to create a repo to use for assigning tasks? Other than that, only linking the repo's doesn't seem the best solution to me. Cause it preserves a certain amount of chaos in the overview. (Tons of links and websites all with a different layout, etc.) @Thamlett Could you experiment with different colors? (I fancy what a combination of gold letters and red marble would look like.)

Sure, you can count on me. Well, let's start recruiting then! We should perhaps create a list with the member + their skills in short. In order to back other modders, they should know to which person to direct their questions. And create a post to recruit new member, though maybe wait to post it really till we have some things like logo, repository etc. etc.? @Lion.Kanzen Could you perhaps ask Zophim to tell something about him in this topic, so we can get an idea on what kind of team member he is.

Never look at those, these results are only theoretical. But still a GTS250 would perform a lot better than a GT630. Since there are no direct comparisions you should compare the GTS250 with the GTS450 and the GTS450 with the GT640. That gives a indication of what you can expect from the GTS250: http://www.overclock.net/t/835606/evga-gts-450-review-multi-gpu-comparison http://www.anandtech.com/show/5969/zotac-geforce-gt-640-review-/9

I wonder, The gts250 is more powerful than the gt640.

1. Just CRTL+number does work to assign? 4. It's possible to create a mod with multiple phases and a lot of content.

The Council Table of Modders?

Yup, creating heightmaps is really easy. Just select the area you want and target a jpg picture as output: http://gdex.cr.usgs.gov/gdex/ (It does require a login) Finally convert it to a png image and it's ready for use in Atlas. And this was the result of selecting Corsica:

IRC might be good, but has some inconveniences like different time zones we live in, the lack to post images and give a proper layout to long texts. Personally I like the group PM's. Some info about me: My name is Niek ten Brinke and I live in the Netherlands. I can do some image editing/texturing using Gimp, have some JS/C-language(s) knowledge (though limited) and of course able to do research. I love music but can't find my way around in sound editing. Some more? Well, not really major stuff. Oh, and I am able to create a github organization (if needed) in which we all will be members.
