yes .. i'm on manjaro linux. sorry for the slow reply. i didn't see this

yeah .. i'll have to adapt. it was good having them selected watching their health with the mouse hovering over their escape point

27 looks great. hotkeys don't all seem to be working. "O" for select wounded doesn't seem to be working. I used to select everyone, press O and then only wounded would be selected. The hotkeys and options for wounded definition are all set appropriately .. strange.

nix run github:nixos/nixpkgs/master#zeroad zsh: no matches found: github:nixos/nixpkgs/master#zeroad didn't wildfire use to keep their own repository link for the latest build?

i installed nix using these instructions successfully but the install command did not work

updating. It has been a bunch of these different things all together. It's not fixed completely. On top of the json stuff, which fixed two of ours, (x) was having the UDP problem and the json problem and that confused us. So, now we can play together but he can't host. It's all fine. thanks for your help, it really got us over the line. Much appreciated.

sadly, no fix. all three of us found and deleted our .json files and tried again. When player (x) who still has problems has joined a hosted game he is left behind at match set-up screen until it eventually says, "connection lost" on top right of screen. There are no error messages to screen shot. Meanwhile, other 2 players enter game successfully and then see "(x) has left game". When player (x) hosts he can get into the game but no one else can follow and is disconnected when "start game" is pressed. No error messages - just "connection lost" It has been suggested that we show the logs but there are 6 different log files, 2 html, 1 .dat and 3 .txt I'm not sure which ones are useful and also, they are quite long. Should I upload everything from player (x)? There is no "Failed to connect to the server. UDP port 20595 not being forwarded" message. I remember having a UDP port issue years ago and it wouldn't let me enter the match set-up screen, but we are getting into that screen. We have tried complete uninstall and reinstall and have deleted .json files. (matchsettings.mp.json and matchsettings.json) Apologies for trouble and gratitude for any further suggestions.

I am working with my friend currently, attempting to follow your instructions. It was happening differently depending on who hosted. The person having the problem can't join the game set-up. They appear visible to the host and other players but they get a "loading maps" message and then they just sit there stuck. Then we say he should try hosting and we join and we all get into the game set-up screen but the game kicks us when we press start game. If the instructions don't fix the problem I will attempt will test and then try to find those logs so that I can upload them here. Thank you so much for you time and suggestions.

Strangest thing ... ... two of us were having the problem we solved here. all three of us downloaded and enabled community_mod. Now the one person who was not having that problem - which was probably caused by regicide - is now having the same problem after enabling the community mod. So, we uninstalled and reinstalled the community_mod and no .. no fix ... if he, the one now having the problem hosts we can get in to the game set up screen but it breaks when we try to start the game. edit: every time we start the game it says "connection is lost"

I tend to play with people I know, while on the phone to them. Maybe I should make a point of playing a game here and there with randoms as a way of contributing to the game's life.

Installing community_mod fixed the problem.

Gurken khan and real_tabasco_sauce, Thank you. I will make a note of the Game Data Paths for future and not use the screenshot.. Thanks for the feedback. Doing the forums search instead of starting a new topic is better, yes. But you don't find anything if you don't really understand what you are asking for. Thank you for your patience.

I am having a difficulty when trying to host a multiplayer match at the game lobby. Firstly, there is a settings problem but I don't understand the messages to know what it doesn't like. Here is a screenshot. Also, when the error messages disappear this screen persists and all I can do is use ALT-F4 to close the app. Strangly, it started happening to another of my little group of friends I play with and only one of us can host now. But we are also having trouble joining now. I am using Manjaro, my other mate having difficulties is on Apple. It might just be internet problems but the net seems like it's working in a browser. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 0ad but it's not going back to factory settings because the Manjaro uninstall is not getting rid of some config file and I'll have to find it and delete it too. Just thought I'd see if any of you have some thoughts on these issues. I've not had them in the 13 years I've been playing this game. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I was wrong. Just tested it but trying to help you helped me. Here, from start .... Download .zip and check that you "show hidden folders" in file manager Right click .zip Extract to... /home/snap/0ad/592/.local/share/0ad/mods restart 0ad look in "mod selection" under "settings"

When you download a mod from the game it puts it in /home/snap/0ad/592/.local/share/0ad/mods I think you just drop the .zip in a folder for the mod there and put the mod.json file from inside the .zip, extracted, next to the .zip So, /home/snap/0ad/592/.local/share/0ad/mods/"name of mod"/ and that folder containing "name of mod".zip and mod.json Some mods work for me that way, I have had trouble.
