Looks good indeed. Will you please add this to http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/SubmittingPatches ?

Hello, and thanks for your interest in 0 A.D. And of course for your patch, one of the programmers will take a look at it soon, and hopefully it will just be to commit it. Otherwise they'll get back to you in this forum. (When we get more patch review requests we'll definitely set up something specifically for them, but until then this forum is probably the best alternative in my humble opinion. There's no reason to add more complexity if it doesn't add any value (like making it easier to find the patch review requests). We're in the process of redesigning the website though so I'll bring this up for discussion and we'll see what solution the team thinks is best. )

It look interesting and I hope that it will be the base for many good new games in the years to come.

Sweden is roughly the same (though a slight bit worse I'd say, I'd blame that on the oil our western neighbours have got ), so I wouldn't say being a petroleum exporting country is necessary. I'm sure it helps though

I hope you'll like the new version as well, though things will change quite a bit. I'd say to the better, but then again everyone can't like everything. You can always take a screenshot to remember the present design by, or visit archive.org Hopefully you'll still want to visit this site though, we don't intend to do anything that will scare people away

A little update for our faithful fans. Michael Hafer have been kind enough to create this piece of art to show what can be done in 0 A.D.

Done

Great to hear about your trip (and no, it wasn't too long ) I doubt that's the only reason Aviv, while it probably is part of the reason I think (though I don't know for sure) that it's more due to symbols being easier/faster to understand than pieces of text (once one knows what they mean of course ).

Please go to the linked thread to read the full job description, but in short it's a web programmer we need, so (X)HTML, PHP, MySQL and more is needed.

Here's a chance for someone who doesn't know anything about game development to contribute to 0 A.D. We're planning to redesign the 0 A.D. home page and to make that come true we need a web developer. To read more about exactly what skills we want you to have for this job (and other) please go to the Application thread in the forums, where you also can read the instructions for how to apply.

Want to get ships moving? Want to make the bravest soldiers run and strongest trees to move? Then animating is for you, and if you have experience doing it in 3DS Max you might be the one we're looking for. To read more about what we're looking for and how to apply, please visit the Wildfire Games Application Form thread on the forums. And now something to give this news post some value even for those who don't have the skills to apply. This is the first look at the Roman Quinquereme, stay tuned to see it in all its glory:

Ah, true overall more people might be using Mac, but I was thinking about 0 A.D. developers

Hmm, I'm afraid I can't help you. But I suggest some patience After all is Snow Leopard even out yet? I mean some things can be missing due to that. And in any case you might have to wait for an answer as Mac is the OS that things are the least tested on so far due to Windows and Linux being used by more developers.

No offence, and it can be easy to miss, but have you read the 0 A.D. front page or have you just looked for a download link? I'm just asking since at the top of the page it clearly says "0 A.D. is a game currently under development by Wildfire Games" and a little bit below that there's a news post about open sourcing where we clearly say that we haven't released a playable game yet. That said, it is possible to download the game in its current unfinished state, but it's really just recommended for developers at the moment as it's a bit more complicated than to just download it. For more info you can check out http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions to see if you think it's worth the amount of work it requires.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_watermarking In short it's an image (with some logo or similar) pasted over another image to show who created it or where it's from.

For your new avatar? I don't think we want to officially endorse your avatar, so I'm afraid not. I mean the 0 A.D. logo symbolizes the game, and while it's one thing if people use it in links to the 0 A.D. website and similar things I don't think it would be a good idea if people started to use it in something as personal as an avatar. That would make it seem like Wildfire Games said - and agreed with, and promised - everything that person said. So no.

I don't know how different such a version would be, but if you feel like it's worth taking your time doing it then by all means do it

No, you don't have to be a developer. You need to be prepared to checkout the source code via SVN and build the program yourself though. (The instructions can be found at: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ )

The game is not yet in what we'd call a playable state. It is possible to download and check it out, but for now it's really just intended for developers, not for players. There are a lot of things that still needs to be done before it's going to be fun to play.

Rather, sense non-existing balancing so far Things will get balanced when we get to the playtesting phase.

Are you sure the SVN checkout were ok? I mean there seems to be a lot of "No such file or directory" and similar. I'm no programmer though so perhaps there might be other reasons, but have you double-checked that the files are there and that you're in the right folder when trying to execute update-workspace.sh?

Unfortunately we've had cases of PM spam, after which Erik/feneur set a minimum number of 10 posts before people can send PMs. I see you will have those soon, and if Erik sees this earlier, maybe he can give you that permission immediately Indeed I can (and I have )

Thanks I hope one of the programmers will be able to review it soon, and I'm sure you did things right, it seems you know what you're doing from what I've read in the IRC log etc

We're wary of allowing uploading of files for natural reasons, but I've set the permissions for this forum to allow it so now you should be able to attach the files.

Well, as far as I understand some Republicans in America are calling the public health system Obama is trying to make happen as a huge step towards communism, and that's not even close to what we have in Norway and Sweden, so I guess we're communists by that standard.
