  1. Custom In-game Menus

    in Art Development

    Posted

    The polygon is no longer visible outside the minimap, this was fixed by @vladislavbelov with rP25241, so mods for the current dev version and for A25 can have a nice round minimap.

    I'd be more than willing to help with the creation of the graphical content in case you like the idea. So please let me know what you think.

    @Sebastián Gómez are you still around, can you provide some graphical content?

    I never did it before, but I'm going to try.

    1. Reading the wiki/Phabricator article helped me and it also taught me how to use Arcanist to upload my patch. 
    2. You would need someone to review your patch, here is a quote from a former developer describing the situation:
    Quote

    @elexis (8/Okt/17) wrote at patch D889:

    There are hundreds of patches disregarded in the review queue and the number increases steadily since 0AD source was published - even with multiple developers having exclusively worked more than full time on the review queue for years. [...]
    The only thing that gets a patch committed is a team member that stops working on his own feature to review something. That often means repeated begging.

    PS: Wiki doesn't seem to work properly at the moment, archive.org might be a temporary solution. Also I can't review your patch, I'm just a player/ tester and someone who learns JavaScript by modding the game. I mostly just test patches  for @wraitii or @Freagarach and write my results in Phabricator.

  7. how to change resolution??

    added macOS 11 note

    You could change your "Display" settings in "System Preferences"

    or you could add gui.scale to your user.cfg file (see wiki/GameDataPaths) and play around with that number till you are happy with it.

    The options is currently being worked on at Phabricator and might end up in the next game version.

    I liked the "God ray" effect from Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War. 

    I found it.  A bit difficult to capture it on video, I tried messing with saturation/contrast/brightness of the video but not much success. It would be a good addition, I personally prefer the effect on the statue more.

  9. test translation

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    Yes, you can create a mod.

    Create a folder and add a mod.json file in there. Or you could just download it from an existing mod and make small changes to it. e.g. from the "City Builder" mod on GitHub.

    Your mod.json file should look like this, a more detailed explanation can be found here: wiki/Modding_Guide 

    {
	"name": "dutch_fix",
	"version": "1.0",
	"label": "Dutch typo mod",
	"description": "Fixing typos in the dutch language",
	"dependencies": ["0ad=0.0.24"]
}

    Next you will need the .po files, which contain the text that will be displayed in the game. Download the files from here: trac.wildfiregames.com/browser

    Create a folder called "l10n" and add all the files in it, that you have made changes to. It should look like this, you don't need all the Dutch files, just the ones you made changes to.

    Add this folder to your 0AD mods folder  (see wiki/GameDataPaths) and enable the mod via the 0 A.D. "Mod Selection" page.

    Now the game will call the contents of your mod before it calls the contents of the game. If you did everything correctly, you should see your changes in the game.

  12. "Better Scouting" Scouts Mod

    in Game Modification

    Posted · Edited by Langbart

    I noticed that my scout can kill any domestic animal (chicken, cow, ...) but no other animal. Shouldn't he at least be able to kill the dear wolf when attacked? 

    Edit1: Forget it, I think you have already fixed this problem with your latest update. :rolleyes:

    I believe that is in the works. There is a patch for it already.

    I think it this one D3037 Add gui scale to options 

    In the meantime, you could try finding your user.cfg file (see wiki/GameDataPaths) and add gui.scale to it. Play around with this number until it suits your purpose.

    I was going to add this to my mod, but haven't done it yet.

    PS: another nice quality of life gain, was the discovery of the hotkey section (see wiki/HotKeys), especially those:

    Change speed of scrolling, rotating and zooming.

    • scroll.speed.increase = "Ctrl+Shift+S" 
    • scroll.speed.decrease = "Ctrl+Alt+S" 
    • rotate.speed.increase = "Ctrl+Shift+R" 
    • rotate.speed.decrease = "Ctrl+Alt+R"

      • if you open the game with the mod enabled you should see under Scenario some new maps e.g. "Cavalry Vs Spearmen" or "Cavalry Vs Slingers"
      • Some maps use the old version 6 in their XML files, you have to update them from version 6 to version 7 with Phab:P232 otherwise it will fail
        • But after I did that I still get 'entity' and 'CCacheLoader' errors for maps like "CavalaryVSInfantry", only "CavalryVsSlingers.xml" and "CavalryVsSpearmen.xml" worked for me.
      • UPDATE: Stan fixed this problem, by updating the maps

  23. Looking for a macOS 11 user with missing polygon on the minimap

    in Help & Feedback

    Posted · Edited by Langbart

    Recently a macOS 11 user reported in IRC #0ad being unable to see the polygon on the minimap, it would be helpful to solve this problem if someone with Alpha 24 on macOS 11 could reach out to @vladislavbelov or me. You would only have to install Apitrace, which is a tool for tracing OpenGL, Direct3D, and other graphics APIs.

    Installation and procedure is a manageable task.

    What is port forwarding? Can you explain more about it? How to do port forwarding in a Mac?

    I regularly get requests from users on #0ad asking for help with this problem, below is a small collection of other websites. I will probably send them the link to this thread so they can more easily find out what port forwarding is and how to do it. Thanks for asking.

    portforward.com - How To Forward a Port

    Quote

    A port forward is a way of making a computer on your home or business network accessible to computers on the internet, even though they are behind a router. It is commonly used in gaming, security camera setup, voice over ip, and downloading files. After you have forwarded a port you are said to have an open port.

     computer.howstuffworks.com -  How BitTorrent Works

    Quote

    A firewall protects your system from intruders by disallowing unauthorized access to your computer's ports. A port is a way for Internet communications to travel into and out of your computer. Ports are numbered, and each communication type has a standard port number. BitTorrent also uses specific port numbers, normally ports 6881 through 6889. Because firewalls block these ports by default, you'll need to configure your firewall to accept this incoming traffic in order to receive .torrent files. You may also have to enable port forwarding of your computer's IP address for ports 6881 through 6889 so that other BitTorrent computers can find you.

    r/explainlikeimfive (18/Aug/2018) - ELI5: What are ports? Port forwarding? What are they and what are they used for?

    Quote

    Any internet device has an IP address (something like 198.51.63.25). Think of it like a house. And you can go out and visit other houses or you could even get visitors to your house.

    Now to enter a house you, of course, the house needs doors. And your "internet house" has 65535 of them. Most of them remain closed the whole time (web servers mostly have ports 80 (http) and 443 (https) open). All open ports lead to a room. Two may even lead to the same room. It's all a matter of configuration.

    So in order to let someone in your house, you need to open a door so they can come in.

    Many ports have standardised purposes like for example:

    • 21 - FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
    • 22 - SSH (A protocol to connect to other computers/servers to control the system or some parts of a system)
    • 80 - HTTP (All websites which don't have a green lock in the address bar)
    • 443 - HTTPS (All websites which have a green lock in the address bar)

    stackoverflow.com (5/9/2012) - When is port forwarding necessary?

    Quote

    Port forwarding is needed when a machine on the Internet needs to initiate a connection to a machine that's behind a firewall or NAT router. If the connection is initiated by the machine behind the firewall, the firewall/router automatically recognizes the reply traffic and sends it to the machine that opened the connection.

    But if a packet arrives on the external interface, and it's not a part of such a connection, the router needs to know what to do with it. By default, it will reject it. But if forwarding is configured for the port, that tells it what internal machine to send it to.

    Put another way: you need port forwarding if you want to run a server behind the NAT firewall/router, you don't need it if you're just running a client.

    If you forward the port, everyone will be able to join you. If you use STUN when hosting, probably many but not everyone will be able to join you. If you can't join someone else's game, there's nothing you can do about it other than informing the host that he should forward or host your own game.

    Port forwarding looks like this on my router, it might look different on yours.
