[ANSWERED] Path Pointer Misbehavior
sphyrth replied to sphyrth's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Since it's a feature, then I got no reason to complain. -
From DotA 1 mod of Frozen Throne: Skeleton King with Ring of Basilius Aura Skeleton King with Assault Cuirass Aura Skeleton King with Both Auras Stacked Skeleton King passively being affected by an Aura If 0 A.D. implements something like this I know that it will impact the Visual Realism, but I believe that it deserves a level of consideration.

[ANSWERED] Path Pointer Misbehavior

Going back to the topic, I think that this is a bug. I checked how Frozen Throne handles this, and it only detects the "MouseDown" input. Pyrogenesis seems to take both "MouseDown"-->"MouseDragging"-->"MouseUp". Then calculates how each unit will distribute themselves based on the "MouseDragging". -
Adding new factions to the game
sphyrth replied to wowgetoffyourcellphone's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Okay, so Swordsmen and balance for all Factions is generally established. I wanna get back to the Barracks topic. Out of curiosity, which of the current Factions were historically Barrack-less? And what are the possible workarounds if ever those were removed? -
Okay, so wow's basically arguing that they should be spearmen. History aside, I was questioning why the naming convention puts them as champions when the game classifies them as Elite-Rank Citizen Soldiers. I assume that they were originally intended to be champions, but then the devs changed how they were played later on.

Adding new factions to the game
sphyrth replied to wowgetoffyourcellphone's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
So let's say that we create a Faction that does have Barracks. That would... Go against familiarity "Where's my Barracks!? This civ doesn't have it? Then how am I supposed to get an army going? How am I supposed to play this thing?" It depends from player to player, but I'm one of those could certainly get used to it . So, it's not much of a problem... for me at least. Breaks Balance - You have to justify how your faction is going to play without Barracks. Is it intended to be a Support Faction that's filled with Support Units (Traders and Healers), or something else? Right now, we have the Macedonians as an example. They lack Swordsmen Historically that's being challenged by the forumers here (Macedonians DO have Swordsmen). But let's just assume that it doesn't. You have to balance that faction accordingly, or at least justify gameplay-wise why you're not going to allow any Sword-type units for the Macedonians. Now that Nomadic (i.e. Barracks-less) Factions are being considered, how would they fit in the game if they're gonna be picked by a player? -
The replay files went missing.

You should've seen the time when Rams were no match against a bunch of women since they were Sword-type units.
-
Then I guess it's more about the naming convention; it says spart_champion_infantry_sword.png @Nescio What do you think about this?
-
Is this the Skiritai Commando? The patch is recent, so does this mean they just got promoted to Champions?
-
That's actually the reason why. The feature hasn't even been implemented yet, and the 6-9 fields are generally enough to keep the economy going. I even remember in the previous Alpha when they were extensively used because of the Cav Rushes. If they were OP at that time, I think the Corrals would be put over Fields for Food Economy.
-
I sound like a used-car salesman.
-
Is it still planned to be put in or not? I mean IMO it's too OP to be put in anymore.

Adding new factions to the game
sphyrth replied to wowgetoffyourcellphone's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
There are ways to cut the game's size. For example, you can do the Empires Apart Route: Strip down the game to only the Celtic Factions and make the other factions DLC. I think it's agreed that fleshing out the game takes priority. We just have to wait for Empires Besieged because that's the plan. You don't know, but there might be plans to add Millenium AD-type factions for Empires Collapsed. Finally, I've been waiting for Delenda Est and Terra Magna Factions to be added. But personally, I miss the Rise of the East's logo. I'd argue that it looks way cooler than 0 A.D.'s logo. Terra Magna should kick the Han Chinese out again. I better stop now. Every serious point I want to make turns into sarcastic retorts. Must be the effect of reading this whole thread first thing in the morning (Philippine Standard Time). -
https://0ad.mod.io/delenda-est @wowgetoffyourcellphone also wants to get battalions and formations going... badly. For all I know he's been waiting forever for it.

They look like Metapods.

For some reason, even Reloading the Cache doesn't work. I can't view [unmodded] replays. The same thing goes for my own games. At least the games that have "Unassigned AI" enemies. My replays playing a normal game against the AI show up just fine. My games (both "Me. vs. Petra AI" and "Me. vs. Unassigned") are my "replays" folder, and the ReplayCache.json also has them. But why can't I view them? (Linux Mint 19.2)

I'm surprised that you guys are giving Town Phase Rushes some credit. I thought they're heavily impractical for real games because of the Early Cav Rushes.

If you want my comment about your video: If that's a "Rookie Commentary", then I have a long way to go. You don't have asmr problems like me. I'm struck about the phrase: "When A24 Comes Out". You made it sound like it'll come soon - something that I wasn't expecting. Is it really close to a feature freeze?
-
That's a nice patch. I'm kind of on the Fence about the lengthened words, though. I'm torn between Saving Space (Spear) and Clarity (Spearman).

[ANSWERED] Path Pointer Misbehavior

So that's what's happening. I kinda got addicted doing that. I assumed that it did that, but it wasn't working. It seems to be working now, though. -
I apologize for not naming that thing correctly. I just forgot what I should call it. I just selected for Women and start frenzy-clicking all over the place. I guess my click tried to find each Woman's path, and the pointer followed suit. Here's the video version of it. I had it unlisted, so if you can't view it, please tell me.. (Please teach me how to embed Youtube Videos, I literally forgot how).
