This mod was one of the best mods I've ever seen on a game. i tried it out in October and I was very disappointed with the game-play from it's predecessaor in 2019. I recall the designer being by the name @UndyingNephalim, and I wanted to know if he had a discord. I'd love to continue working on the mod although I think 0 AD needs a complete UI overhaul in order to really make it a snappy experience, like Project Celeste.

Thanks Stan!

Greetings Everyone. I am trying to recollect how to add animations to the game and I was wondering how I can do that. If I have an animation for a unit on blender, how can I have it set so I can actually put that animation to be played in game? Any links for further reading would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Merci! Danke!

Are you familiar with the Age of Empires online Celeste Project? Basically, I'd like to change the game function so that it no longer requires "territory" space to build. This is a major hindrance to aggressive gameplay because buildings cannot be built forward outside of territorial spaces. However, there are a few game elements that would need to be changed as well.

Ah, I see. Have any recent mods been made that make deep changes to the c++ state of the game? I'd be interested in poking around in those!

Hi all! I have been working in C++ for a while now and was wondering if I could contribute to engine development. I was wondering if the game logic/engine was written in C++, and if so, if there is a way to work to develop a certain mod/style of UI for a game design that I have, or if I could contribute directly to the game development directly! Thanks

Any interest in continuing the Mutant Wars Idea?

Thanks! Im still a bit confused as far as the specifics go. Could I pm you for more elaboration? Thanks!

Hey all. Can anyone help me design a piece of code to allow units to detect the distance between themselves and an enemy unit and queue a specific animation. Check these units, they are animating through the wall, but I just want them to trigger at the contact point.

Im working on a mod the gets rid of the whole territory restriction. Honestly, its terrible in gameplay to have this territory rule. If you've ever played age of empires, you know how fun it can be to hide right outside your opponents base and stream in spearman from the barracks. HMU if you want to know more

Have you guys thought over making a campaign and adding things like weapons and/or armor/ boost that players can earn through the campaign and use them later? Would it even be feasible with the game setup as it currently is?

Thanks m7600! Just got back on my laptop. I actually restarted my computer and everything clicked together. I guess that a quirk of Linux is that it has a mind of its own and chooses when its going to work and when it doesn't. Zoinks! More questions to come!

Thanks for the advice, Stan! Can a vertex be rigged to two bones simultaneously?

Hey guys. There is an issue with the game. The skeleton-mesh combo will work perfectly if ONLY two bones are connected, like this: However, if MORE THAN two bones are connected, as shown below, you get an error message: In the images I posted, the FIRST one, with only two bones, exports into the game just fine. However, the one with 3 bones doesn't work (Yes, I know what you're thinking. I CHANGED the skeleton files each time I exported the skeleton-meshes) . Everything else is the same. Does the game not support multi-bone chains or something?

It's almost as if the game doesn't allow for connected armature....hmmm

Thanks for the quick response! Can you show me how to access the mainlog?

Due to general consensus, I have decided to maintain all of my questions in one place @m7600 Now, to start off, I'm having trouble with getting meshes in game. Here is my issue: Im creating a very simple tube with armature. I load the .dae file into the mesh directory, and use Stan's skeleton file generator to generate the skeleton XML from the dae file. However, when I open up the game and load up a match, the game shows this: Why must I suffer like this??? WHYYYYYYYY. Also this error shows up when I edit the mesh: Here is what my mesh looks like. Check the armature layout. Everything seems fine! WHYYYYY

Thanks man! Should I just start a thread called "My Annoying Question" and bitcoin anyone who cares to respond?

Hey guys! So I made a building mesh from scratch, but when I go to color it in blender (yes, I DO color in blender, a little!), the paint auto-colors nearly the whole object. The UV map looks terrible too, and is clearly not allowing me to color ANYTHING. Can someone give me any tips on how to better unwrap meshes and such for painting? @Stan`@Itms@m7600 THanks!

Hmm, is "convert" a specific ability then?

Hey guys, can someone describe the best way to go about upgrading units? Like, say I wanted to upgrade a building into a "moveable" unit, similar to xionggu, but I wanted "other" upgrade options as well at either stage. How could I do this? Also, off topic, butho can I remove the <buildingrestriction> on the kennel? Thanks!

In the art/skeletons folder, how does the game reference skeletons? I dont understand how to skeleton .xml translates to the actual game file that shows up What happens if you dont have a skeleton in there, for example? @Stan` Thanks!

I noticed that blender 2.8 doesnt really work when adding the prop points. Is there a reason for this? 2.79 works fine, but it's still a bit wonky. For example, I'm using the Hyrule .dae files and trying to structure new prop points for units in a new civ I'm working on.

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone could assist me in mirroring a prop for the right hand of a unit, I'm running into an issue with this sadly, and cant seem to figure it out ;(

gottit!
