Maybe some potentially useful information in this article on Intel's website?: Identifying the Frame Rate Bottleneck in 0 A.D. @inzhu Related forum thread already exists at

Seems like some feedback is needed about the names of player placement options, some that already exist, and some that are planned to be implemented Please see comments by @maroderat line 70 of TeamPlacement.js @Stan` https://code.wildfiregames.com/D4948#change-vhQdafBheTV7

Bos Wars has a feature for enabling multiple viewports. You can select a viewport and scroll through it (The first screenshot is with no viewports). Does 0ad have anything like that and do you think it would be a good feature to implement?

The repo here is still writable, but would need someone to review new pull requests.

You might wanna try the chess skirmish map included in the community maps 2 mod

@Stan`Maybe this thread should be merged with https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/38086-proposal-more-difficult-ai-settings/

With kush-extreme, a pro player *might* be able to defeat 2 Kush AIs, but definitely not 3.

It would be good if https://code.wildfiregames.com/D4948 were merged before the next release

Indeed it would be nice to have a smarter AI. I'll be sure to try out these changes next time I play. There's also the kush extreme mod available from the 0ad mod downloader. It doesn't change the intelligence of the AI, but makes the KUSH very OP by increasing their armor strength. Existing thread at https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/91251-kush-extreme/

0 A.D. I would suspect.

Would anyone like to take over as primary maintainer of the community maps 2 mod? I'm trying to lighten my load a bit...

There's now two AppImages available for 0.0.27-rc1-27645-alpha , one built on focal and another on jammy. If you tried a previously released AppImage for this version and the Vulkan backend was automatically disabled, try the "jammy" image (note the "jammy" image is less likely to run on older distros).

So... maybe not related to curl at all. If whatever's causing the segfault is fixed, the curl message would probably display just as a non-fatal warning (unless it were removed).

@LienRagyou got the segfault, but not the message about missing version information from curl? I built a new AppImage using Ubuntu Focal instead of Bionic. The filename is 0ad-0.0.27-rc1-27645-alpha-2306120428-x86_64.AppImage and it's available at https://github.com/0ad-matters/0ad-appimage/releases/tag/v0.0.27-rc1-27645-alpha (I have no idea if that will make a difference for you).

@LienRagI opened a ticket on the AppImage repo and replied at https://github.com/0ad-matters/0ad-appimage/issues/23 and wrote some troubleshooting steps that you could try. You can reply on that ticket if you're a registered GitHub user, or here on this forum thread.

@Stan`Probably would only required minor modifications. It just uses this existing docker image and a shell script. As long as GitLab supports things similar to GitHub actions, I don't think it would be very different (the script has variables that are GitHub specific). https://github.com/0ad-matters/gh-action-build-pyromod If anyone ever wants to set up a "GitLab action" and gets stuck, I'd probably be available to help.

@LienRagFrom what link did you get the appimage from? What is the exact filename of the appimage? Which LInux distro are you using?

Better link: https://github.com/0ad-matters/0ad-appimage/releases

For 0ad, it would be a matter of the wiki being updated before the patch was merged. The patch submitter or zirs accomplice adds the new info to the wiki, leaving the prior version untouched, annotating when the changes were introduced. Anyone who plays a26 can clearly see what feature ze doesn't have yet.

@Stan`The doc changes are included with the patch... Here is a not-yet-merged patch where the doc changes are added to the "snippets" directory: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/11445/files Then, iirc, when a release is made, the docs in the "snippets" directory get merged into the website documentation: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/tree/master/docs/markdown/snippets

@Stan`Agreed, but the question isn't a difficult one to answer. It's a common thing that projects face. You either have different docs for each version (e.g., after a release, you copy the existing docs and make changes to them as the code changes before the next release), or you do something like the meson project and just amend the documentation to note when the change was made.

Thanks for the FYI @real_tabasco_sauce @Stan`It's usually best when the docs get updated along with code changes (or in this case, major changes to a game unit). Otherwise there's little hope of the docs being updated at all, or keeping them up-to-date.

Looks like @maroderis now doing some related work for us in D4948

Anyone who wants to try 0ad at it's current development stage, if you're a Linux user, you can try the 0ad-0.0.27-svn-unstable AppImage There's no need to install any packages or do any building. After you download the image, just use `chmod +x <filename>.AppImage` Then you can run it like any other executable: ./<filename>.AppImage There's one more than one image on the download page; just grab the most recent. Before running the AppImage, you may want to back up your current 0ad config directory: cp -a ~/.config/0ad ~/.config/0ad.bak

Several random maps from the Community Maps 2 mod have more options for Player/Team placement.
