Have you checked Blender to see that the export works? If there's nothing in the file perhaps there's an error which prevents the file from being saved properly

As far as I could see from the settings the limit was 500KB rather than 31.21, but either way I've increased it to 1MB for the basic member group now. (Once you've made five posts you're moved up to the "Community Members" user group which gives you more permissions including access to the personal messages function - and you can also upload larger files. We've been forced to limit things a bit for new users to limit spam, hopefully it's only a minor trouble for most users )

First, sorry I didn't reply yesterday. Second, generally speaking this sounds like a solid plan and I think we should move forward with it. Third, specifically though it would be nice to at least have considered the hosting committee/people responsible for each service before actually starting to do these things (both so we are reasonably sure we have people for all tasks, and so we don't lose a lot of time waiting for people to do the different tasks). Fourth, I definitely agree with the opinion expressed in the IRC discussion that options for backup are best investigated once we know for sure what's needed. However, I do think we should have backup routines for all services set up before going live (on a per service basis I mean, not that everything has to be set up before we can start actively using say the IRC bot). I don't think anyone thinks otherwise, I just want to add it as a reminder so we don't forget. Fifth, once we have a decision (and assuming we decide to move forward with the plan above) I suggest that Aviv contacts SPI to investigate for sure whether they might pay via credit card/that we after talking with SPI contacts the hosting company to investigate whether that truly is the only option (might be different if you have an organization like that to handle things than for individuals).

What is the problem here? The only possibly weird thing I can see from the screenshot is that the water seems a bit squarish at the left edge of the right island, but I'm not sure about that. Or do you mean that the shore waves are too far away from the shore?

I just realized the easiest way would probably be to just change the email address of the old account, that way all you'd really lose are these three posts (which most likely could be transferred to that account, but it should be easier to not do that and you could just post in this thread with the old account ). Would you like me to do that?

It might have been a temporary issue for all I know, but now it definitely works for me at least.

And I who have been thinking about removing that message as it was quite a while ago, but now it seems it can still be useful Presuming you still have access to the email address you registered with you should be able to use the "I've forgotten my password" function, otherwise let me know and I'll help you. As for the other issue please post in the bug reports forum: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showforum=378 The wiki is at http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ though, and to see any errors and warnings you can either press F9 to bring up the in-game terminal + log, or check the interestinglog.html (see http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths for where to find it).

Not sure which games use Shift + num keys, but in any case 0 A.D. uses Ctrl + num keys which at least is the key combo I've seen in other games. Yeah, there are some settings which can't be changed on their own etc, so we'll have to redo the in-game settings menu to be more intuitive.

Well, generally I'd agree with you, but in the case of these type of posts with personal information and similar I'd say there might be reason to remove them if the poster doesn't want them to be kept online.

And you're still here too You've surely improved your skills since the fountain (If you want me to archive/delete this topic just let me know.)

Assuming you've run the game at least once without crashing you should at the very least have interestinglog.html and system_info.txt in your logs folder. Could you also please try to load the saved game again? There should be a crash report that's more in-depth than just "Segmentation fault", please copy the text of that and paste it here.

Just from looking at the image it seems as if there is very little open space for buildings? If so that might be a reason why the AI has got issues on this map.

Ok, that was half of what I was asking for

Could you please follow the instructions here: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/ReportingErrors for adding e.g. the log files/system_info.txt? Also, the saved game you are trying to load, was it saved with the same version of the game that you are trying to load it with? (E.g. if you saved the match using Alpha 16, are you also trying to load it using Alpha 16?)

Sorry to hear, but sadly Apple has made it too difficult for us to support older versions. Especially since we have very few developers who have got a Mac, and the ones who have got one can only afford to have one computer with one version of the operating system installed.

Could someone with knowledge about each platform please post a summary for what it should say? Then I'll gladly post on the web site

One can also have both installed and use whichever is best in the case at hand

Click on "More Reply Options", there choose the file you want to attach and then attach (put the two map files in a zip file first).

Another tip is to check the Atlas manual: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Atlas_Manual There are some newer things which needs to be added (anyone with a Trac account can, so if you see something missing please help out), but the basic stuff - including how to interact with Actors (i.e. objects which aren't affecting the gameplay) is there

Now I've finally posted the news piece on ModDB/IndieDB: http://www.indiedb.com/games/0-ad/news/0-ad-modders-host-map-design-contest (should go live within a day from now, depends on when they have time to moderate it though).

Custom settings are in "local.cfg" not user.cfg (that's used for settings the game changes). local.cfg might need to be created, see default.cfg for the location.

Spoofs/satire etc are allowed, would still be nicer to do something unique if we do one though About the logo video, do you mean the one that's e.g. used at the beginning of the Alpha 16 release video: ? Or is it something else you're thinking of?

Could you please follow the instructions on this page:http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths for how to get the relevant information (i.e. log files)? I would say system_info.txt is the most important one in this case.

Would it be ok if I used a couple of those images in a ModDB/IndieDB post about the map contest? (Have been struggling with how to write about it there since they generally want more than just a bit of text, and I haven't been sure what pictures I'd add.)

Ghengis Khan and the Mongols of his time are well out of the time frame of the first version of 0 A.D. (500 B.C. to 1 B.C.), so they will not be included. There are however mods which feature the relevant time period, maybe you can join them to add this faction.
