Hah: I just finished making my own script for fetching it from latest SVN, which I can confirm works as needed. # Get the latest version of Spirv from the nightly build SVN # https://svn.wildfiregames.com/nightly-build/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/shaders/spirv path="/home/mircea/Games/0ad/0ad_GIT/" cd "${path}/binaries/data/mods/mod/shaders" rm -rf "./spirv" svn export "https://svn.wildfiregames.com/nightly-build/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/shaders/spirv" echo -e '\E[32m* Updated, press any key to continue\E[37m' read Looking at source/tools/spirv/get-nightly-shaders.sh it seems to do roughly the same thing written in different words, so I'll probably use that

Thanks, I'll note that link down. Sounds like building is too hard to be worth it for now, especially since I'm not seeing GLSLC in Manjaro: I'll just copy them from the latest build in case they ever break.

Thanks for clarifying. Why is spirv not built with everything else during the standard build procedure? I am on Linux... does having to adapt it mean it won't work as is, if so what changes would have to be made? Where can I find nightly builds containing it, since looking at the Releases RC page it appears to be empty. Edit: The latest release is new enough that taking it from there should work for now. I looked in /usr/share/0ad/data/mods/mod/mod.zip and see a shaders/spirv in there, I copied that directory into 0ad/binaries/data/mods/mod/shaders (Git) and it no longer seems to throw any errors so I'm presuming it works. It may however get out of date so being able to build it with everything else seems ideal.

I still get errors about 0 A.D. wanting spirv in latest Git, which is strange since I thought every dependency for Vulkan was integrated long ago. ERROR: CCacheLoader failed to find archived or source file for: "shaders/spirv/canvas2d.xml" ERROR: Program 'spirv/canvas2d' with required defines not found. ERROR: "USE_DESCRIPTOR_INDEXING": "1" ERROR: Unable to create device for Vulkan backend, switching to GL. I can't find spivr in the mod downloader. The spirv mod page says I'm not allowed to access it: Is there another place where the patch can be found?

I think I figured it out: I need to clone the new 0 A.D. repository after installing git-lfs. I didn't do that since I thought LFS is just some git fork that's supposed to be faster and an optional thing. Cloning again and this time it's taking longer like it normally does when it pulls large data, so this should have solved it. Updated to confirm it works now! Got to the main menu and it's too late to test an actual match, but the menu renders fine and I hear the music so all should be good. Thanks for all the help and glad to to have 0 A.D. running from Git once more!

Something strange is happening, which does seem to be related to Git cloning. The first of the errors says: ERROR: Failed to decode texture "art/textures/ui/pregame/icons/lag.png" Unknown texture format I navigated to binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui/pregame/icons/lag.png and tried opening it in Gimp: Doesn't work and says the texture isn't recognized. The image is only 128b which is clearly too small even for an icon: The same file on Git says 897B and can be previewed. Is there some compatibility issue that causes git-lfs repositories to not get cloned by standard git? It's the only thing I can think of, never seen anything like this before. If so I'll install git-lfs and try with that as well, though it would be nice if standard Git cloning could be fixed in this case.

Thanks for the info! Right now compiling works well from the new Git repo: The last problem seems to be that it doesn't contain the assets and default data, it's just a bugged out menu. I never used git-lfs as standard git usually works fine: If I pull again it still says there's nothing to do, I used "git clone --recurse-submodule" and still the same issue. I looked closely and the data seems to be there, it's like the engine is failing to see it even when I run with the "-mod=public" argument. Except when I look in the console it complains about unknown texture format instead... how can png fail to decode? /home/mircea/Games/0ad/0ad_GIT/binaries/system/pyrogenesis -writableRoot TIMER|

Cloned the new Git repo and changed my build scripts: I managed to successfully compile under the new configuration! Only problem now is when I start the engine, I only get a bundle of colored squares as if no graphics or even fonts are loading. Either I'm running from the wrong directory or need to clone the data from a separate repository if it's just the engine in the main one: I have a "binaries/data/mods/public" but it's only 23 MB large so the assets are likely not being cloned.

My Git clone seems to point to https://github.com/0ad/0ad.git origin on master branch. The package python-six is installed. I can't find a build-source-libs.sh anywhere even with search. Am I just not updating it right? I did "git pull --recurse-submodules" and it says everything is up to date. But I'm not seeing any recent commits. Edit: Yes, I'm seeing it has moved with the old repo archived. Wonder why that is. So do I clone again from https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad.git this time?

Waited a bit longer just to be sure, but it still won't work for me on latest Manjaro Linux. Everything pulled and up to date, I run "clean-workspaces.sh" followed by "update-workspaces.sh" but the later still leads to the same issue. The error can be more easily tested by running "libraries/source/spidermonkey/build.sh" directly: Building SpiderMonkey...

Thank you very much for the update! I don't think I've played 0 A.D. since posting this: I have the release installed from the package manager, but found it easier to compile from Git so I've been waiting for a solution while focusing on other FOSS projects. Hope this means a fix may be coming soon!

Ah, it's a Python version issue? I hope at least an emergency fix like this is possible to address soon, especially if a PR exists and only needs approval. I have the 0 A.D. release installed by the package manager, but it's already well behind the many changes and features in Git so I've only used the later for a long while.

Hello. I'm experiencing a compilation issue for latest 0 A.D. Git on latest Manjaro Linux stable, would like to know when a fix is projected. I tried asking on Discord but some bot called MEE6 glitched out DM'd me an unrelated spam warning and this morning my mention of the issue was removed from the server, no idea what must have happened but hopefully it's okay to post here. Here's the relevant part of the log, the complaint seems to be about something called SpiderMonkey and a module named six.moves: Building SpiderMonkey...

I had no idea this was already proposed for nearly a decade. I imagine it was simply forgotten? Glad I could bring some attention to the concept, maybe now it's possible to give this a try somehow.

Nice! Sounds like we already have many features from their Advanced Diplomacy concept: The three Enemy / Neutral / Ally states always existed in 0AD. While you can't put time limits on them or restrictions just on economic activities, you can always break away... in recent versions I've had AI break neutrality pacts and go back to enemy, thankfully not alliances which would be more difficult on players. You can even send resources to your enemies, always wondered if that makes AI more likely to accept a neutrality pact... since it's already default we could allow it with units too, if you want to keep a match going for longer give troops to a nearly defeated foe so you have what to keep fighting. And implementing this should also be super easy with no engine changes: Next to the buttons to tribute food / wood / stone / metal, just add a button to tribute the selected units... when clicked all units become those of your ally where they stand as if captured. So if there's nothing I'm missing that could result in significant bugs or disrupt gameplay in unexpected ways, I'd say this is a fun concept we could try out with a mod then merge it if it plays well!
