I agree that thus you have a cleaner and more stable environment. However, my attempts to have Win 10 and some Linux flavour in a dual-boot setup was always a hassle. As it was years ago, meantime this is perhaps easier. My recent experience is using Debian with Pihole and Unbound as DNS in a VM on a Synology server, which is very stable and reliable (incl. regular snapshots), but that's getting OT here. If someone is still interested in the solution via WSL, please have a look there (from where I got the information from): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 I have not yet built anything with this but will try and report here about my experiences with it. As usual for me, this might take longer than you think.

All I had to do was executing these 2 PowerShell commands invoked as admin: dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart The 2nd line is optional (for the Virtual Machine Platform, for which your machine will require virtualization capabilities) and is only required if you want to use WSL2. After this, a restart was needed and installation of the Linux kernel from there: https://wslstorestorage.blob.core.windows.net/wslblob/wsl_update_x64.msi To set WSL2 as your default version for the installation of new Linux distributions, execute this PowerShell command (or skip this, if you want/need to leave it as WSL1): wsl --set-default-version 2 After this, you can DL and install a Linux distro. There are a bunch available on the MS Store, e.g.: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Ubuntu 20.04 LTS openSUSE Leap 15.1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 Kali Linux Debian GNU/Linux Fedora Remix for WSL Pengwin Pengwin Enterprise Alpine WSL

How can I track down the reason that a self-made map of my kids causes crashes on their editors when they try to open it again in Atlas (no other instance of pyrogenesis running) - i.e. on 2 PCs - but opens without problems in the editor on my laptop? (same RC2 of a25) All 3 devices have 8 GB of RAM, so it does not seem to be a shortage of memory (the almost flat map is giant with lots of animals but almost no trees, plants, or any structures ).

Great, so I will fork my first project off of your's and see what I can do with it - at least not any harm. Wishing you and everybody a good weekend!

Ah, that's good to know - thank you both!

Initially, this thread began with this post called "Using Windows 10's Linux subsystem for development?" and indeed on the topic of WSL. Somehow, we got a bit OT, but I think that we went into the right direction, i.e. covering questions around how to set up the building environment under Windows 10 etc. Therefore, I have renamed this thread accordingly and hope to attract more interested users and also get further help from our pros here. Thanks to all of you! --- snip --- Hello! Has anyone of you tried/tested Windows 10's Subsystem for Linux (WSL), e.g. Debian or Ubuntu, for development (well, mainly building)? It's CLI-only, AFAIK, and I wonder if the guidance e.g. there would still apply. Would you mind sharing your experience here? Thank you!

Erm, I don't see on that linked page any relation to the question about emails hidden. What am I missing?

@nwtour Hi, this is a really nice tool you created - thank you! There is a small problem with the link to the CC (in all html files). I have opened an issue on GitHub (my name there is 7wells), and I have the corrected files locally on my PC. I checked your repo out with TurtoiseGit, but don't know how to proceed. Any helpful hints from you are highly appreciated. I would really love to actively contribute to code on GitHub, and this would be my first time, so even more thanks for your help and patience.

@Stan` If I ever should be mentioned (currently, there is no reason), I would like that my email address is not shown. Is there anything that contributors could do about it upfront?

And the acronym can remain as is - BSOD. I'm using Debian (stretch) in a VM (besides some other and smaller distros) on a Synology NAS with 16 GB - works nicely. Now I am investigating which OS to install on an old Intel micro-ATX board with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @2.4 GHz with only 4 GB (DDR2) of RAM @800 Mhz (extendable to 16 GB - whether it's worth it, I don't know). The GPU is an NVidia GeForce GTX 1650 with 4 GB (DDR6) of RAM. Currently, it runs Windows 10 Home 64bit, which I am resetting (in the hope to get rid of some problems. Alternatively, I could install a free OS. Which OS would you recommend for gaming, e.g. of course 0 A.D., on that machine? (besides waiting for Win 11 with the brandnew black screen of death )

I will help with the translations to German and could maybe also help with tasks around programming (not coding itself, as I lack the knowledge, but maybe some other related tasks). Just give me a hint. Thanks.

Would this be possible in the GUI, too, in a future version? The average player will not know how to tweak a template. Are there any further objects that currently remain hidden despite silhouettes are turned on in the GUI?

Top play it safe, I would put only those IPs on our white list that belong to school mates. Not that it makes a difference about the underlying problem. And IPs change...

Well, I like @Yekaterina's idea of a white list system. To my understanding, nobody would then have to worry about how different cultures - not to say different people - define "profanity", e.g. politically incorrect, vulgar, offensive, sexually harrassing, (extreme)nationalist content, content of hate, etc., all reflected in different degrees by different people at different ages with different background. If this is not the right place to further discuss it, we can open a new thread, e.g. 'Lobby white list' or similar.

Exactly this would be also my wish. For the time being, I will not allow our kids to play online. Nevertheless, 0 A.D. is a great game and its developers, contributors, supporters and the community really great.

Oh dear, I have to admit that I do not understand anything of this.

I started the Atlas editor from SVN like this: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\0AD\0ad_svn\trunk\binaries\system\pyrogenesis.exe -writableRoot -editor I am not sure whether the -writableRoot start parameter is needed for Atlas (or works at all for Atlas) and could not find any hints about it So my question is, whether Atlas stores or changes any files (besides saved maps) somewhere else than under the SVN root path? I want to be sure that none of my a25 RC2 files (installed in parallel to SVN) are touched when I use the SVN Atlas editor to experiment with SVN files. Thanks for sharing your experience.

This thread was started because of this: @Stan` (sorry, I cannot delete this empty box in Android Firefox) What do you mean by "we don't generate them at all"? The English text for Atlas is available somewhere, right? In form of mo files, I understood. Sorry for my confusion.

This thread was started because of this: @Stan`

There you got a point, thank you. Let me start a new thread about this, quoting our last posts, ok? Voilà: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/46285-editor-add-hotload-button/

Oh, I didn't see this yesterday. Happy birthday, dear @Yekaterina and all the best wishes to you!

Yes, it was blocked while in use. Now that I use SVN, the public folder comes already unpacked. I observed that the editor does not recognize several changes it not restarted. I assume that adding a function in the editor to force-load everything by clicking a button would not have much benefit, as it would take the same time as manually restarting it. Correct? Sorry, btt...

I have started a new thread for the topic "editor translations": https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/46286-editor-support-translations/

Erm, let me think. I have an IP that never (or let's say very rarely) changes, and I want to keep it (very) private. Let's discuss via PM, if you don't mind. However, I call it a day for today - and wish you and everybody a nice remainder of the day/evening.

Oh, I didn't think to ask for any adjustments just for my (private) case, but I agree that this could indeed be helpful for many players, including grownups. Are players' IPs disclosed to other players or only known to some central server?
