    Coming soon to Terra Magna.

    It looks very detailed and nice. Maybe a bit cartoony for me it appears that it came straight out of  Ponies Ascendant mode.

  2. ADIMPERIVM - a total war style mod for hardcore strategists

    kind of the idea, after playing a few multiplayer games I hated how the winner was determined by how fast they could fast eco and spam units, instead of who had the best battlefield strategy.

     

    And the old total war games where players had to compete over strategic points on the map would be much nicer then being able to build a fort nearly anywhere in your territory in 3 minutes flat.

     

    I have plans for a "manpower" system to nerf spamming of troops, similar to in the DIVIDE ET IMPERIA mod for total war rome 2, with manpower as a resource that you start out with a lot of and cannot regenerate similar to in HOI4 to force players to be strategic with their men instead of sending them as cannon fodder, and ensuring the battles are not endless troop spam (name one historical battle where both sides had an endless number of troops).

     

    Though I am mainly just a good idea man, and not good at coding the actual nitty gritty stuff, that is why I made a public GitHub page and a modding team.

     

    The MTW2 video was to show what my vision for the mod kind of is, for epic battles like that with a fixed amount of troops when you start the game, and better buildings in general that are there at the beginning of the game and harder to destroy.

     

    Basically the kind of mod I am going for is the opposite of the arcadey "streamlining" (look the game design term up) and a mod more tailored to hardcore armchair generals and less of the "fast eco, cav spam" kind of demographic.

    Nice idea currently I will have some time in February due to that December and January is time for exams

  3. Fork AD

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    Greetings!

    As some of you might have noticed development has nearly come to a halt a while ago. This was not only caused by issues around the initial attempt at releasing Alpha 23, but also regarding how development was done, and a certain number of internal conflicts. A few people were not quite happy with where the development was going, or how the team "interacted" with each other. A long time ago the team at least had each other's backs in cases of conflict. Apparently this ceased to be the case a while ago.

    You might now wonder why this sad story above is the start of this communication. Well, some of us decided that we were not happy with this, and after each and every one of us stopped considering the current team in this state to be good steersmen we decided to give the whole community an alternative.

    Please let us introduce you to Fork AD.

    The amount of changes that have been made to the code since we forked is greater in number than the amount of changes to WFG's SVN repo since May. That may not sound like a lot, until you consider that we've been at this for less than a month, and WFG allegedly has a lot more active members.

    Now we know you've been craving to know some details of what we've changed so far. Apart from fixing some glaring bugs in the code that were even pointed out to WFG when they were noticed, we are updating a lot of things so we don't place users of our code at risk. There also is a lot better Single Player support, though one could blame that on most of said code effectively being unmaintained, better mod support, improved development tools, a bunch of housekeeping that was needed, and more.

    If you now ask yourself when and where you can download Fork AD, we still have to defer you to a later point. We will release for all supported platforms, which are still Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSDs, once we are confident that we are releasing something that fullfills your expectations, and is something we can be proud of.

    Although the progress has already been substantial, we are always open for reinforcement, either from new people or from those disappointed or demotivated by the WFG direction. Artists in particular are very welcomed.

    As said before, the state of that fork is not yet publicly available, but all information will be given on our website when available.

    Meanwhile, you can reach us at https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=fork-ad

    Kind regards,
    fatherbushido, leper and mimo.

    It saddens me when I see splitting of forces, however, since I have been following this project since its beginnings this move was quite inevitable. Nonetheless, as it was already said by @(-_-) the advantages of opensource approach are limitless if you give your soul into it, that is.   Moreover, I wish that you guys will bring us a new outlook, additions on RTS genre being it big or small as it was in the past decade which I would be grateful.  ( I may visit you sometime to see how things are or if you need some help as well)  So I wish you guys fare thee well and luck in your journey and I hope we will hear from you sometime  @fatherbushido @mimo and @leper.

  6. Battalion test mode

    Changes:

    Fix order qeuing: Rotation moved to Shift + R

    Fixed attack synchronisation and missing building animation for soldiers

    Fixed briton dog and tooltip error

    Hovering over building which selected unit can be garrisoned in, shows garrisoning as first option.

    All defense towers, fortresses, temples, civ centres, colonies and wonders should be capturable by soldiers now. (may some another buildings but I am not sure which)

     

    @Imperator Ferrum Princeps I As I looked into current code, garrisoning is bound with action key = ctrl, so I do not know what you meant it does not work traditional way.

    Thanks for your hard work on your mod If you would like I can also help you.

    It is an issue if he still have a old version of the OS. It is a common problem, old mac didn't have regular updates for the OS and if he didn't do it himself the update, it become tougher after time because the Apple Store didn't let you download a new version of the OS.

    That might be an issue indeed :/

    Maybe we can ask https://gitlab.gnome.org/samm-git   or @wraitii I believe also has a mac.

  11. The Implementation of LODS

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    Posted

    28 minutes ago, Rolf Dew said:

    Hi guys!

    I would like to ask a question concerning engine features. How hard would implementing LODS (level of detail) be? Would it require changes to the engine itself or can it be added in another manner? Do you have a rough estimate of the amount of work and time that would be required to implement it? Finally would it help increase the performance of the game? (I know most of the lag is caused by the pathfinder and ai).  

    moderately difficult (multiplatform game) 

       and look at other posts from this guy and @vladislavbelov I wanted previously to use the system for LODS from supertuxkart engine that with small modifications could be applied.

  12. After mod download and install game glitches and freezes

    Random

    is not working because Delenda Est mod package that is in mod.io publishing site from which you automatically download the mods are map specific changes and random map libraries not completely in sync with 0.23 upstream changes.

    anyone was working to fix it

    Delenda Est mod is solely developed by @wowgetoffyourcellphone so you should ask him (https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est) not by Council of Modders group

    Terra Magna mod and Millenium Ad mod plus some other mods and projects are developed by Council of Modders (https://github.com/0ADMods)

  14. Confused about what mods work

    I just started researching mods on the 0 a.d. GitHub and I am very confused about which mods work with the Ken Wood release so I have downloaded all of the major ones but have not attempted to install any for fear of "breaking" my game. I am on MacOS Mojave if that helps. Thanks! 

    as Lion just said  just  ask  or ask me  btw as of right now with 0.23  are compatible  the ones here https://0ad.mod.io/    plus Hyrule Conquest https://www.moddb.com/games/0-ad/mods  

    0abc mod or 

    even

    those that are on github are in constant development and are not advised to be installed if you wish to install them just ask and we might provide some instructions and ways to install them. 

     

  15. How does the HP system work?

    Hello,

    Im new to the game and i dont know how the HP system works in 0AD. Can somebody explain me the things like hack and pierce and what kind of effect it has on different units.

    HP is basically  how long your units will survive  certain attacks (the amount of life) that is decreased by every hit by certain attack calculated against armor some  types of attacks are listed in code here https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/components/Attack.js?rev=20367    hack means hit by a sword or another weapon/unit that is listed in that class and pierce means hit by spear or similar weapon that can do serious damage through getting through armor . Btw there is also crush damage and so on. This might be also interesting https://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/20203

  16. Athens Wonder icon Slot

    in Art Development

    Posted

    11 hours ago, Servo said:

    The wonder has maximum 12 icon slots but has 30 allowable units garrison feature. If you garrison more than 12 types of units say 13 one type of unit won’t show up though it’s garrisoned and will still accommodate up to maximum allowable units. 

    By saying that you want us to fix it because it is a bug or unexpected behavior?

    I will get the source/files from my brother if i have to get them, he will help with SVN if its require

    @dmzerocold do you have any comment on this?

    Could you please explain it more? do i need to include specific background ? i also applied different layers in photoshop for this portrait

     

    46 minutes ago, stanislas69 said:

    Basically when you will be done upload the psd file and make sure the background is a specific layer and he will be happy :)

    Well that portrait can be not just portrait or icon but if you make it into layers it could be main menu background as well. (when you get to first screen when  you start 0AD)

     

    BTW very nice portrait. @stanislas69 I believe also Kushites do not have portraits. Sorry just noticed that they are also in your list.

    @dMAthena Also if you would like after you finish these for 0AD you could also take a look at heroes in our mods Terra Magna, Millennium AD and so on.

  22. Weather Simulation

    in Gameplay Discussion

    Posted

    1 hour ago, balduin said:

    I would like to see a weather simulation in 0 A.D. It would be nice to have weather events such as rain, dark clouds, bright sun, snow and desert winds. This would produces an entirely different feeling in maps. However, weather simulations can become annoying if they influence the map or game play to much.
