Hi everyone, for the 0.28.0 release the plan is to make 0ad available as an AppImage together with the Windows installer and the macOS bundle. That means easier access to a binary for users uncomfortable building 0ad from source when they can't wait for their distribution to update the package. This also means AppImages will be added to the bi-weekly builds used for testing when the support matures a bit. By now you probably already thinking give me the link already, so here the link to where the latest test build is available from: https://jenkins.wildfiregames.com/job/test-appimage/ How to run the AppImage you ask? First you need to install fuse which allows for filesystems in userspace. Maybe the package is called libfuse for you distribution. You will need fuse version 2.x for AppImages. Next download the artifacts and verify the downloads which can be done for example as follows: $ md5sum -c 0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage.md5sum 0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage: OK $ sha1sum -c 0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage.sha1sum 0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage: OK $ minisign -V -m 0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage -P RWTWLbO12+ig3lUExIor3xd6DdZaYFEozn8Bu8nIzY3ImuRYQszIQyyy Signature and comment signature verified Trusted comment: timestamp:1752172582 file:0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage hashed Then make the AppImage executable $ chmod +x 0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage Then launch 0ad $ ./0ad-0.28.0dev.AppImage Finally report if it works for you or not and what distro you are using. A note here, the basis for the AppImage is Debian 12, oldstable by the time of the 0.28.0 release. If your distribution is substantially older than that it might not work.

No amount of toolkit switching would have helped here, the crash has nothing to do with wx but is a bug in pyrogenesis. Change your gtk theme if you don't like your current one? wx uses native widgets on Windows, how are you gone beat that wrt integration? It's already developed and the maintenance cost for the last 20 years was exceedingly low, you could say qt was rewritten from scratch more then once in the same time frame. Edit: seems wxqt isn't fully dead https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxQt

Because you don't like gtk which is used on Linux for wx?

Atlas uses xw toolkit which doesn't support vulkan yet so it's using opengl no matter what you have in your settings. That said this is likely fixed in the 0.27.1 release candidate. Probably a variant of https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/7620

@little Guest, suggest to try the 0.27.1 release candidate as it contains some vulkan fixes and is fully compatible with 0.27.0.

There are multiple drivers for amd gpus, this might be a mismatch of components. Suggest to use mesas amdgpu driver with radv. Check your distros documentation, especially keep an eye on selecting icd.

@Itms, congrats on rc1! Packaged for my distro and all went well, the only thing that might need a note is if using system premake5 then it needs to be < beta4 because of the api break.

The package manager knows which files belong to a package, there surely is a command to list them, check what wx-config-* wxwidgets-gtk3 installed.

it means wx-config-gtk3 no longer exists on your system or is no longer in PATH. You can use an absolute path for WX_CONFIG, but it must point to the wx-config corresponding to your desired wx install.

Lobby games are also just lan games in essence, the only difference is that the needed address gets passed to others via a neat ui. The lobby also adds some mechanisms to allow some additional network setups to work, like firewall puching / stun. As a bonus you get a chat and a ranking bot. I'm pretty sure you don't want to setup your own lobby but you could, the code and instructions is at https://github.com/0ad/lobby-infrastructure If you create a lan game it means 0ad on your computer will listen on the specified port for connections. Everyone around the globe that can connect to you computer will be able to join that game. How to make your computer reachable from the internet typically means adding portforwarding to your router and configuring the firewall. But even then, due to IP4 starvation your ISP might make it virtually impossible to get it working.

Fixed in https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/commit/263b481442ccf51f8588828c8bce7a2843299864

a23 was much better than a24 in my opinion, that so called "reset" was silly in my book, just that you implied @borg- is a bad player with no clue of gameplay and that there was no real reason given which I consider a lie. I'm not at all against reverting the patch. Feel free to create a PR, whining won't change anything.

@borg- clearly stated he approves the patch, and there are reasons given even if you disapprove. Also that was at a time when balancing was mostly discussed in PMs, which is luckily no longer the case.

Indeed, missed that reference in the wiki. Hope that was the last one.
