Another thing, you mention that you have some interest in programming? The sound system is currently being reimplemented, and since it is getting close to being able to be included in the main repository for the code it would be helpful if you would be able to at least compile it and see if it runs without issues. See http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15995

(Slightly off-topic as I'm sure your points are very valid about the Celtic buildings in general, but I would say that you are wrong about people not having rotting corpses/heads around. Depends on what you mean by around of course, having them in their houses hardly was common. But at least during the medieval/later periods it was fairly common to be far more liberal with having dead bodies around than we would think today. Granted, it was mostly criminals displayed in public and I guess in most cases not necessarily next to people's houses, but that's not the same thing as to say it didn't happen at all. )

Hello and thank you for your application You mention animation, how much animation experience do you have? Any of it that is good enough to show us? I'm just asking since animation is where most work is needed, so if you could provide any assistance there it would be great Modeling/texturing is very useful as well of course, so don't worry in either case Have you had a chance to look through: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide and most specifically the page linked to at the bottom of that page with more information on how to get an object from e.g. Blender into the game?

Cool, welcome to the forums

Looks like a really good start and what may become a great map I do think there are ways to improve it though (I'm just looking at the image at the moment). One of the biggest visual things you could do is to divide the terrain into smaller pieces, that way it won't look as repetitive as it does now with all these big chunks of texture

Yeah, there are other reasons to push Alpha 11 back a little, but this is not one of them

Looks much cleaner to me

You can always go to the Bandcamp page (http://play0ad.bandcamp.com/) and have that play while you work

For you yeah I.e. it should most definitely not be available for non-team members. All in-team user groups should have some moderator privileges as we've added that for the task/user forums (i.e. all programmers have moderator permissions in all programmer user forums, might not be 100% accurate as we might have forgotten to add them, but since we're moving more and more away from using the forums to track tasks that isn't really needed anymore anyway), there might be some settings that makes all moderators global moderators - or one of us might have enabled that at one point for all I know, I don't remember. In either case I don't think it's an issue if someone who's on the team has mod privileges, if we allow people commit access to the SVN we sure should be able to trust them with mod privileges in the forums (Admin privileges is another thing though )

I like how you think And I presume the elephant stables would only be buildable in the the Town Phase? Which would also mean that for the early game the buildings would be more useful (though I guess one strategy could be to rush to the Town Phase to be able to build support elephants quickly, not sure if that would be a viable strategy, but perhaps if you quickly want to exhaust the map of e.g. stone/metal or something ).

Some tips can be found in: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide and more specifically in http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Basic3DImplementation (It uses Blender as an example, but most of it should be relevant to all 3D applications ).

Looks like an improvement over all. The thing to consider is where to put e.g. the chat when setting up a multiplayer match, but with an lobby for that it probably needs to be different anyway as the needs are different.

Ok, well as long as there is some way to control it, and eventually it would be nice to have the ability to turn things on and off completely. Don't worry about having that option at the moment though

Maybe have the portrait work as a button in the sense that when you hover over it it is "raised" a bit so it's more obvious it is clickable?

Are effects possible to turn off completely on an individual basis as well?

The civs in part to will not replace the civs in part 1, they will complement

Part one is the years 500BC-1BC, part two is the years 1AD-500AD Exactly which civs will be included in the end will have to be seen, but the focus/starting point is and have been and will be Rome and the civs it interacted with. That doesn't mean that I'm against including other civs, just that I don't think we should exclude e.g. the Germans for example but include the Mayans or something

Hmm, did you click on the More Reply Options button? That takes you to a page where you can do more things, including attaching files. Please take a look if you can, otherwise I'll take a look at your permissions when I get home blender_2.59.zip

Maybe it should be mentioned that the channel is #0ad-dev in case Jason doesn't know, it was #wfg while he was more active

Splendid work

Nope. It's just that there's a limited time for coding/reviewing patches, so it might take a while (Also, bigger things are less likely to be reviewed quickly as they require the programmers to sit down and spend quite some time with the code As opposed to a couple of lines of code that fixes a clear problem and can be reviewed in a couple of minutes )

We already talked, but thanks

No new civilizations should be added once we're out of Alpha. Nor any new gameplay features. The only things which should be done then are balance fixes, code improvements (to improve performance etc), bug fixes, overall graphics code (i.e. things which improve things overall without requiring a lot of things to be remade/edited), and non-gameplay additions (the translation system could be added in an early beta perhaps for example, and a config dialog doesn't have to be done before we call it a beta, and improvements to the multiplayer lobby and such things).

Great work Georg Nice to see things fixed so quickly

Confirmed. Neither the actual action is performed, nor the highlight of the buttons.
