For the case that the "capture the wonder" will victory condition will be included someday, I spent some thoughts on the "game type" menu, which is somehow counterintuitive imo: For the game speed and ceasefire, there's the category on the left, with the options on the right. For the victory condition, there's no category, instead the options are on the left, with the on/off buttons on the right. The "No"s are also kind of confusing. So what I was thinking of: 1. Put the category to the left: "1. Victory Condition" 2. Add a dropdown at the right to choose from all possible victory conditions 3. Add a second "2. Victory Condition" with the option "none" 4. For every further victory condition that is selected from the dropdown, add another victory condition with "none" This way all unused victory conditions are hidden in the dropdown. Since the victory conditions only appear after the previous one is chosen, at the first look it will be less text, so less overwhelming for beginners. This would allow to add more victory conditions in the future without overcrowding. Options for each victory mode could be shown directly under each one, not at the end like it is now. Also the logic between the victory conditions are clearer, as all conditions right now are alternative, not additive, ways to win. Later a button could be added to define for each condition whether it is necessary or non-mandatory to win. This could look like this: This could be the layout for the options:

You can find the meshes here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/src/branch/main/binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes I don't think the units are suitable for 3D printing though, you might try to print one of the statues instead.

I like the idea. Not all graphs start at zero and go up to the right though, maybe zooming in could be a different approach.

I'd like to have a grid underlay for the line charts in the summary. Also it would be cool if "battles" were shown, like in AoE. So when a certain percentage of the total kills happen within a few minutes, the spot is marked on the graph.

Epic!

Athenian olive mill/press @Thorfinn the Shallow Minded @wowgetoffyourcellphone@real_tabasco_sauce and whoever is interested, mod file is attached, let me know what you think At the corner I tried to stack a three spart_path decals on top of the dirt decal, but sometimes they are hidden by the dirt decal. Is there a way to define priority of the decals in the actor file? olive_mill.zip

only one I found that is CC0 and at least has some similarity with Nike is this one: https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KAS1604?q=*&page=5&filters=has_3d_file%3Atrue

These are the artefacts that I wanted to get rid of. The face at the nose was too small so it didn't bake there and just appeared black. In the first version I just moved it in the uv layout, but it still wasn't clean. So now I used an island margin of 0.001 instead of 0.004, then scaled up the uv islands of the caryatids, and packed again. This time nature is included. I also imported the cypress. The bake worked in blender but somehow it doesn't show in atlas: Also the bake of the climbing plants highlights the edges a little too much: So these are the old and the new ao now: I've attached the new version with the updated meshes, ao map and the nature actor file. I don't think it's much of a difference, only the caryatids faces are a little cleaner. I don't really see an impact from the inclusion of the cypresses, maybe it's got to do something with the materials? I'm not sure if I'm using the right ones. About the island margin, as long as I don't want to scale further down, I don't need a higher margin, or do I? 2117024587_erechtheion0_28.3.zip

If you're exporting it the right way blender will tell you that you exported 2 objects, so prop points are counted there. Other than that, no idea, sry. Maybe you'll find something in here: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/19739-prop-points-guide-and-faq/

When exporting, select the prop point empty first and then the parent object while holding Ctrl

Looks nice. Maybe turn it a little so it grows away from the building, towards the sun?

Alright thanks, I will make a new UV2 and bake asap. Is there a deadline for the release already?

Right now everything is baked on the same ao map. So it needs to be scaled down, which might increase the artifacts? So it's better to split it into two seperate ao maps, maybe one for the statue set and one for the rest? Nature props don't need ao or do they?

Thanks, yes I'd love that. The olive tree actor was too large and not the most beautiful and I didn't find a fitting one. Shrinking an aleppo pine is a nice idea, they look "gnarled" to represent an old tree. Also I'd prefer the smaller cypresses of the randomly chosen ones, but that's not too important. For future purposes, what are the best settings for ambient occlusion baking? I baked on a 2048x2048 image with an island margin of 0.004. I excluded the nature props. It gave me some artifacts on the smallest faces of the statues, propably because resolution is so low that a single pixel is bigger than a face on the ao uv map. What would you think could be a purpose of the building? Another wonder or special building for athenians?
