    It's a very nice mod. Last feature allows even to measure gathered resources per sec. I like that.
    Would be nice if implemented in next alpha release, as well as your balanced maps bundled into regular 0ad version (out of the box).
    Thanks a lot @badosu for significant contribution into 0ad polishing and tuning up!

    Well, I was gonna wait a while and polish it up. But I am undecided on how to fix colors and etc and want some feedback.

    This version adds the civ emblem inside the indicator, this is not only useful to show the civ and team but also adds some area to the indicator for hover when showNames is false.

    There is a confusion here: we do use the same engine as Firefox. However, we need to build the game with it, so we need the development files of SpiderMonkey. When one installs Firefox, they only download the compiled Firefox which includes (or comes alongside) the compiled SpiderMonkey. Similarly, when we release 0 A.D., we distribute the compiled SpiderMonkey which is quite small. 0 A.D. end-users can download the compiled SpiderMonkey to run 0 A.D.; on the other hand, they cannot build 0 A.D. For that, one needs the development files which are heavy.

    If you want to take a look, in some package managers, the former is called mozjs52, the latter is called libmozjs52-dev.

    That is because you built SpiderMonkey. If you checkout a fresh SVN copy, that folder is 98 MB (which is already heavy: it's the development files). It is worth mentioning that SpiderMonkey devs improved the size of the source SM tarball so in SM52 that folder is now only 35 MB.

    When you build a big project such as SpiderMonkey, the compiler outputs a huge lot of intermediate build binary files that take up a lot of space.

    If you want to reclaim that space after building, you can delete the folder libraries/source/spidermonkey/mozjs-45.0.2/. The built files, needed by 0 A.D., are copied elsewhere at the end of a build.

    Not really. It is SpiderMonkey that constrains which C++ version we support. Right now, it's a lot of work to migrate to C++14/17: that work is upgrading SM ;) Once SM is upgraded, supporting new versions consists of a three-line change in premake and possibly some small adjustments. Upgrading SM also means dropping some old compilers, which is work, but it's communication work with package managers rather that programming work.

    Btw according to this https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/78.0/releasenotes/ this latest esr version supports old MacOS  this what you call lts.

    Hey all,

    Posting this as I'm not sure who specifically to talk to but to preface, I've been playing the game for a few weeks and I think its already amazing and still has so much potential.

    The one thing I feel that is lacking is the interface. There's some parts of it that aren't very intuitive and also visually could do with an overhaul.

    I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment due to lockdown and I also have 10 years in the business doing User Experience Research, User Experience Design and User Interface Design. I'd love to offer some help and expertise to the project but not sure who to reach out to about it.

    hi, I saw on the mods page that you were accepting help, is it still the case? were do we have to apply? what are you working on right now?

    We would be glad if you can help us in e.g. when you look at readme under contributing https://github.com/0ADMods/terra_magna  but keep in mind that  rather make artistic contributions in separate threads for civilisations https://github.com/0ADMods/han_china  https://github.com/0ADMods/yayoi_japan https://github.com/0ADMods/xiongnu https://github.com/0ADMods/illyrians https://github.com/0ADMods/thracians

    ok something there is wrong because it still does not show in pull requests, weird

    https://github.com/0ADMods/millenniumad/pulls

    maybe try the new pull request button but it should have worked from first one too https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-make-your-first-pull-request-on-github-3/ from 6th step onwards
