  1. The migration has been finished; the new dedicated server is in use for all our online services.  The old server will be cancelled on the 13th of January (first possible date).  I'll securely wipe the harddisks before that date.

  2. Hello!

    I'd like to replace our dedicated server again.  Our current server is having weird slowdowns, which I can attribute to harddisk problems.  Ideally, I'd have the datacenter replace them both, but that's a hassle that takes up a lot of time and downtime.  Plus, we can get a little better hardware for a little cheaper price, 58 euros per month instead of 60 for server with a little newer CPU.  No setup fees, only extra costs are maybe around 30 euros because we'll be paying for two servers while I migrate (rougly 2 weeks).

    Can I proceed? :-)

    Also, I have no idea how many people actually look at the main page. @implodedok do we have any statistics about that ?

    There are no analytics behind play0ad.com.  We should probably take care of that, but I'm not sure if that would require us to place a cookie wall as well.  I'll look into it.

  4. The most interesting about this error is the fact that we don't actually use nginx for the downloads.  I'd like to see the full URL you are trying to access, if possible a screenshot of the actual browser with the error on it.  I'd also like to know what page you were on and what you clicked -exactly- before you got the 404.  I suspect you might've actually been on the wrong website.

  5. Our forum is powered by the Invision Community software.  We haven't customized the software or theme in any way.  I have reported this issue to them, perhaps it will be fixed in a future version.

    EDIT:  And here is the official reply:

    Hello,

    thanks for reporting this. I have fixed this for an upcoming release.

  6. Let's get back on topic and stop this side discussion. :-)

    @Pander, thank you for your report and welcome to the forums.  Does the workaround of copy/pasting twice work for you?  Hopefully someone can fix this issue in the future.

    @cloud9, I would like to leave you with these wise words:

    If you have a patch that improves copypasting in 0ad, feel free to upload it.

    That's basically all it boils down to.  If you do not want to share your patch, that is fine by me, but in that case I would ask you to refrain from taking part in the discussion.  This is an open project; we expect openness from everyone participating in the project, otherwise your contributions are not useful.

    @implodedok Why do you need Wordpress? A static site generator should be sufficient.

    Our website content is not static.  Having a CMS is a requirement for us.

    @implodedok I am not here to learn, i am here to build a website, i worked giving maintenace to americaeconomia-ca.com for 6 months which is a wordpress website and developed a tiny php framework for 3 months at Claro (i have the repository at bitbucket), i put i have no previous experience because i haven't build a portfolio to show, but i know we can improve this website greatly, not only in the way we present content which need some rework, like combining text, colors and media in a more appealing way but also in the backend which i am willing to help with. Knowledge: I can work with mysql, symfony, wordpress, nodejs + expressjs.

    That is good to hear.  Don't sell yourself short when presenting yourself.  This all counts as work experience, even if you don't have the portfolio.  Do you have any experience with designing websites?  (and by that I mean the visual side, not the HTML/CSS code)

    Skills and Experience: no previous work experience

    I enjoyed reading your introduction, but this part bothers me a little.  Of course you don't need to be extremely experienced to contribute, but if I read your message right, you're on the other side of the spectrum.  So let me ask the difficult question:

    What exactly do you have to offer Wildfire Games?  We're not a learning institution, we're a group of developers who write code, design art, etc.  If you want to contribute to our website (we are actually going to develop a new one in the future, so an extra web developer would actually be wanted), it would help greatly if you were at least familiar with PHP7 and SQL.  Wordpress experience would be good as well, but if you're at least a decent PHP7 developer or familiar with HTML5/CSS3, we could work on that.  But I have no idea what tasks you could fulfill with "no experience".

    Please elaborate.

    the dev version might make it too hard for casual players to download and play the mod

    Of course, since 0 A.D. is open-source and licensed the way it is, you don't actually need to have players download and install 0 A.D. first.  You could redistribute 0 A.D. alpha 22 with your mod included as Hyrule <version>, or even redistribute the development version along with your own content.
