    You can use whatever you want. I recommend Visual Studio Code as is relatively lightweight but useful enough for editing javascript and xml files. The file wont corrupt, you might get some errors if you are modifying some javascript file and the engine tried to do a live-update of the file, but doing a new save usually re-reloads the file correctly. Depends, if you you change some xml templates and use some elements that no longer are removed/moved/removed then yes. For javascript files you can usually keep compatibility with old 0ad versions if you only add or modify superficially some code of the existing one. For changes on the GUI or similar assume yes too. Look at maps that already use triggers, (e.g. random maps: Jebel Barkal, Danubius) and code your triggers like those maps do, can't help more with that you yourself will have to learn how to do them. The JS console is not really useful for triggers and the console only can access the GUI javascirpt context (not the simulation or the map generation stage) (GUI= graphic user interface) You can modify pretty much everything of the gameplay as long as is not defined in c++, assume everything in js to be modifiable except some parts that are performance sensitive (which are coded in c++, thus you can't modify easy). Pyrogenesis is the name of the engine, and 0ad is the main mod people play, that means you can create a "0ad mod" with your own civilizations, art, buildings and custom javascript components (simulation folder) Units -> the more units -> the more lag Area effects (auras) -> the more and the bigger -> the more lag Graphics -> the more high quality -> the more lag AI -> The more state and code each unit has to process -> the more lag (avoid long loops in unitAI.js that) Egypt 3v3 lag -> probably because the map size is giant size, has many units, many unique buildings, etc You mean auto-queue? If you mean auto-building you would have to create a new component in the simulation folder to define it and write the functionality you want, then add that component to the units/buildings you want in their simulation/templates and last, if needed, write the GUI code so the player can interact this new feature. There is no most powerful as you can only program in javascript, C++ would be if you want to change the engine (I don't recommend) To know more you will have to ask around the IRC chat https://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=0ad

    Yeah, disables with radius = 0 right? But what I get then is even more units overlapping and no push mechanics. I want them to behave the same as the sheep, pigs, etc units do but can't find what I must modify in the templates.

    What is it This mod lets you play alpha 23b balance in alpha 25 Download a23_balance_for_25.pyromod a23_balance_for_25.zip Why? I like alpha 25 but I like 23b balance better. Source code public repository https://github.com/nanihadesuka/a23_balance_for_25

    What's sad is that in a23 these were not a problem.
  5. nani
    Wholesome
  6. nani
    They are not balanced

    Champion cavalry has entered the chat and would like to have a word.

    Well apart from the joke, seems ... @wowgetoffyourcellphone removed the unlimited option? But still, you can change population to whatever number with autociv if you so want by writing in the game setup chat this: /population 100000
  10. nani
    Add autociv after delenda est and it will work (tested)
  11. nani
    That was one time hardcoded feature, for a general case I not sure I could pull it off as a mod and seem too much work/reward ratio. Better ask official team. F4 does nothing in the latest version (also told in github)

    Why the rotation can't be smooth , doesn't pyrogenesis interpolate rotations?
  13. nani
    nice idea
  14. nani
    Look at the base styles and how they are defined, you can control how the textures are streched when the dimensions change, perfectly doable with current gui code.
  15. nani
    Probably because is defined in the templates that they always flee (as they can't attack)

    Inefficient

    It happens a lot (at least to me) when you batch increment is 5 units for each click and you can't get the exact amount to match the resources needed, what I would expect expect from an UI standpoint is to get the production units capped to the max resources you have (an evenly distributed as @Jofursloft said). This also happens when you try to send resources to another player, if you surpass the max amount of resources you have then it doesn't send anything instead of just sending the maximum possible you have.

    version 25.1.2 Added: option to spawn healers with aggressive stance (default off) Fix: Some minor problem with game countdown
  19. nani
    Looks like a nice to have, will look at it
  20. nani
    It will probably involve simulation code changes (UnitAI) and has some pretty hard edge cases so I say it would be better to be done as an official 0ad feature
  21. nani
    Some minor conflicts between mods but apart from that both should work
  22. nani
    Just tested. Can't reproduce the bug, works fine for me.

    How did you even manage to reach the loading screen? If that error message appears it should be not possible to start the game (it has two checks one in JS side and another in C++). That errors occurs when you try to force game start or in some cases if a player leaves or specs and you immediately press start game before the leave/spec message has arrived. Maybe some malformed data was passed to the game setup settings C++ parser and that caused the crash (I think that part of the C++ code doesn't check if all the data is valid before trying to use it). Autociv does change (can) some settings but doesn't add any new.

    version 25.0.2 First compatible version with 0ad alpha 25 Removed: Auto-train, now 0ad has it included APM charts
  25. nani
    That's called auto-queue ( or auto-train). It's a new feature of alpha 25. You have to select the buildings and in the middle panel bottom u will see two buttons to enable/disable it (in spec mode for some weird reason is hidden instead of disabled). This was included in autociv before but as is part of the game now it doesn't have hotkeys from autociv. You can add them in the hotkey editor if you search for "queue" in the hotkey filter then add whatever you like for them
