    Am a massive lover of 0 A.D so please dont take what I say as hate or nasty I am simply just addressing some issues I have faced with the new 22 update.

    I have found even with further lowering my graphics the moment my troops move and I mean like even 1 or two they are jittery and laggy. The new graphics look great but are not very well optimised and it removes a demographic such as myself with more lower end pcs to not be able to play the game we love due to the issue of graphical lag. I run games like Fallout New Vegas or Counter Strike GO fine and on pretty good graphic settings but even on the lowest settings 0 AD is atleast currently too laggy and would really benefit from optimisation before adding any new features, units etc. So people like me and others who have low end PCs can play this amazing game again.

    As @Lion.Kanzen said, the main reason is the pathfinder. But it also could be the renderer issue, do you have lags on a game start? You could enable FPS counter to see your FPS.

    Thought of something already... haha.  Is there any guides to making textures blend in more with each other and stuff like that?  Before I made an account on these forums I could've swore I saw a topic all about it in this part of the forums but I scrolled through and can't find it again unfortunately.  It was quite a while ago so maybe I'm not remembering it right.

    (Do bridges work?)

    What do you mean by textures blend?

    No, bridges mostly hacky implemented. But @sanderd17 has some patches about terrain modificators, which could allow less hacky bridges.

    Anyone know of a place where I can find more up to date information? or even just a general map making guide/tutorial, not even necessarily for 0.A.D.

    Mostly on wiki, but it's not very big. Also you could ask here, on the forum.

    Hey, I quite enjoy making maps for this game but I'm still quite an amateur and while this page was quite useful for learning, it appears to not include some features of the editor which I assume are newer.

    Which features are not included?

    Looking at the extinct volcano map, I noticed that, when the water rise, the ships can move across partially submerged buildings and trees (this is visible also in the trailer). My proposal is to implement 3D obstruction boxes and to compute which objects cross the water level each time the water rise (or, better, water level - x meters).

    Currently all objects have obstructions only on plane, and to make it 3D only need to add a height. But objects have different form, so to make really good obstructions we need to add 3D collider mesh, which is the really complex task.

    I am unable to update as there is no updates available. It says im running the latest version of the game. Is the game still not on ubuntu repository?

    Hi, @pAris,

    I think it's not updated yet, but it'll be soon, I hope. It depends on packages publishers.

    getting your skeleton generator will be a big step in modding this game, even my gate and pony models. One of the most annoying aspects of creating animated props is manually writing skeletons in. I'm thinking we could see some really nice flags, for one

    It'd be good to have it in Atlas or Actor Editor instead of using command line tools. Which are not really familiar to artists.

    Or another way: I made few simple plugins for Blender and it's easy enough to create. So we could create a plugin for it too. Another profit, plugins for blender are mostly written on Python, so it'd be easy to add it. So artist even doesn't need to open Actor Editor/Atlas Import/Command line tools.

    cmd prompt got it to run, here's the Error it gave me:

    You probably run the Python 2.7 instead of 3.5 by the error text. To run exactly 3.5: add a full path to the python.exe in the cmd (i.e. C:\Python35\python.exe) or change the PATH environment variable to the newer Python's version.

    What do you think about replacing pagan temples in the game of hospitals?

    Quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital#History:

    Quote

    The earliest documented institutions aiming to provide cures were ancient Egyptian temples. In ancient Greece, temples dedicated to the healer-god Asclepius, known as Asclepieia functioned as centres of medical advice, prognosis, and healing.

    You could still play in game only with the mouse, by clicking and dragging inside the minimap (which is much more effective than bringing the mouse to the edges of the screen), but outright removing it might indeed not be a good idea.

    I agree with @stanislas69, this method has lower precision, you couldn't move for 5-10 meters. So the minimap is effective only with a large distance between interesting points.

    IMO we could remove movement by hitting a screen edge entirely as it seems unlikely that it is often used (and it is redundant if there are already multiple different ways to move: dragging in minimap, wasd, arrow keys).

    I think we shouldn't, because currently every user could play in game only with mouse. So mouse movement removing breaks it.

    I sincerely think you guys should change this to something like 2048.

     

    Why? Because the water levels at that height reflect the skybox poorly. Also, you don't need that much depth, usually. You want the height more, again, usually.

    This height is mostly for the terrain, not for water. It could be used for high mountains.

    There are couple way we can "fake" SSAO. Can render AO maps for decals under buildings. For shadows, can make them fade slightly, so that they are darker near the origin and lighter farther away. Subtle.

    Good idea for terrain rendering, it's static. But decals have a form, depended on terrain height.
