I have been using the a27 alpha app image. The only place I can use openAL to run is in flaptak. (Sorry if I wasn't clear) I'm pretty sure it's not a 0 A.D. problem because all my other apt/appimage programs that use open AL are also silent.

I forgot, the link for my pr is:https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/22 And the link for Vantha's amazing one on merchants is https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/23 If we find info on trading for a specific civilization we'll right a specific article, but this is more than sufficient. Oh one question. Is the sentry tower and wall tower supposed to be towers like the outpost or towers attached to walls? I need to know to write their generic description.

@vladislavbelov, @Norse_Harold Thanks, strangely enough my steam version of supertux kart does not, neither does my minetest (which also uses open AL) but my flatpak of supertuxkart does. My current theory is its something wrong with pipewire, so no worries on 0 A.D., this problem's for System76 (I have a brand-new computer from them with the issue) and probably pipewire's devs. I'm just trying to gather some info to make their lives easier. I know when I program with pygame their are different versions of SDL, is there a suspific version of open AL that the a27 runs? Is it different from a26?

This has nothing to do with 0 A.D. but what does 0 A.D. use to play its sound? I've run into a bug on Pop_OS and pipewire and long story short certain programs when ran when rhythmbox or now lollypop is playing music all audio in the program is ran on 2x speed. It was kind of fun to command a horde of Greek chipmunks, and listening to very cheerful music in 0 A.D. but now after a pulse audio update no sound is being played at all. This isn't anything on 0 A.D. but I'm just wondering, so I have more information to help the devs at system76 and pipewire fix this error

So I have a PR with the Athenian woman and an update for our own style guide (an extension to the 0 A.D. official style guide, with more rules regarding history and writing) People can ignore the style guide it's there mostly to keep us who are working on the project sane, but anyone who can please look over the Athenian woman article, the sources cited says only two, but I've done a lot of research into this matter a while ago and this was hard. I'd like to know if I got anything wrong.

@Wijitmaker, thanks! I'll see what we can repurpose from the articles, if anything, the insight of what each faction was supposed to be in game will help us slant our writing, not unfairly, but to highlight what the game already emphasizes. I also noticed that you wrote some of the articles, if you want to try your hand at more, you are more than welcome to help us. If you don't want to use github you can private message me and I'll put them on.

Is there any way to put comments in the xml files that the translators can read but the engine cannot?

I, and others who I've shown 0 A.D. to have the problem with the current AI attacking before we're ready. While I might be a bad player the people who I show it to play hard in other RTS and win consistently. But when they played 0 A.D. they said that the AI was set on hard when they were playing easy.

Another animal PR: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/21 It should be the next to last. There is a Calvin and Hobbes easter egg in one of the entries. This should be the next to last non history prs for the history encyclopedia. All I need to do is the rest of the domesticated animals.

Also, the Black Bear only lives in North America, so if we're going for historically accurate maps they might need to be removed. Another intresting fact is that we have male peacocks but no female peacocks. Finally, I haven't double-checked, but the Zebra and their scientific name might be messed up. I'm planning on writing zebra's later, and then I'll let you know. I do love a lot of the animal models though, whoever did them did a good job.

It was just what I heard...

Elon Musk grew up on the streets of South Africa so my bet is on him.

Yeah, I'll fix that.

A pr for more animals: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/19 I got some books on the library on animals so I'm going to finish the animals over the next few weeks.

I added a Pr for rock, ore and ruins. https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/18 @Vantha It's the 0-ad-history-mod-package right? Putting that in my mod place makes it work... I can make the mod on mod.db if people want. It'd make it easier for testing..

This might sound stupid but did you enable the mod?

So I'm working on animals and there's a flaming pig. I feel like theirs a historical refrence there. What is it? Also what are peoples thoughts about easter eggs? Does anyone want a suspific joke or reference put in the encylopedia? It doesn't have to be funny It could be remembering someone who did a lot for 0 A.D.

So I have done the trees and I figured to make a matching pair encyclopedia entries need to be done for both stone and metal(ore?) I can go into the general basics of why stone and metal were important and in general how they were mined, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any ideas. Also, I'd like to know what is ore/ metal? Is it a specific metal, or is it metal in general? And is supposed to be valuable metal like gold or useful metal like iron?

PRs for more animals: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/13 And palisades and outposts: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/14

Agreed.

We do need It's an autumn berry, so I wanted to add the bit. Also, in line imaging formatting (like itallics and stuff) paragraphs indentation, justification and comments for translators are things we're going to need. You mean to say if I open tickets in the bug tracker, people would work on them? I have 0 knowledge of any the programming stuff so I'd be no help.

If people want to get rid of other theaters, it's fine (just Sparta should be the first to lose it.) Actually if it was an Athens only building it could become a bit more useful than an eye candy building to get more area. Like maybe play wars?

PR for the theaters! https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/12 I didn't go into a lot of details about the competitions that were held in Athens and others because later they didn't do it later. If someone wants me to add it I can.

It's a good idea, it'd be a lot of metal but If there's a cool historical mercenary,
