Backport is a software repository for updated packages coming from newer versions of Ubuntu/Debian.

I may ask a backport but it need to be on Debian first, and then on saucy, the development version of next Ubuntu. I'll ping the Debian maintainer. EDIT: done.

It looks Rogue Republic is going to use a different engine: Source: http://www.moddb.com...e-of-the-ground

OK, thanks, but I am not available until next week.

If this can be a problem can you add an assertion to check for that, at least on debug builds?

Well the issue still appears on Acropolis 1 map when enabling Shadow Filtering.

What do you mean with diffuse and blend? I see baseTex, normTex and specTex, and samp.Sampler seems to always differ at least for the first samples. However I have to say that I cannot see anymore the problem now. I am doing some more tests now...

This is the report of my card: http://feedback.wild...n%20ATI%20RV530 IIRC I got the same problem on both Linux and Windows. I may be able to do some tests if needed, since tomorrow.

There is a ticket about turn radius: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/940 it also was discussed for sieges IIRC. About acceleration (also discussed in the ticket above) I'm not sure how it would fit into the game, it should maybe take in account also terrain slopes and impact pathfinding? Do other RTS implement it? But just for a funny cheat they should not be needed. Vdrift art license is not very clear according to this: https://wiki.debian.org/Games/Vdrift/license-issues

I think it would be funny to have an alternative to the cobra car in AoE. What about a General Lee?

While the sigmoid approach is nice, I prefer constant regeneration, just because I think the game should be as simple as possible to understand for players. Constant should be obvious to understand, sigmoid should be explained to players, maybe in the tutorial. Going with sigmoid however, I would prefer a gentle curve, without extreme parameters.

See also http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1755 for how to modify premake4.lua for LTO. Did you do some tests?

The butcher racks looks good now, it could be a nice addition to markets.

I reported some issues that were fixed both in 0 A.D. and graphics drivers. The only remaining issue with GLSL on current SVN is what is shown in this screenshot. IIRC myconid confirmed it was a 0 A.D. shader issue on some older ATI graphic chips that he planned to investigate and fix.

The (GLSL) shader mode should possibly enabled by default when OpenGL >= 2.0 is supported, maybe in svn just after the next release. Currently I suppose few players change from the default fixed render path.

Before removing the ARB shader it would be wise to enable GLSL by default for at least a couple of releases to spot any eventual problem with it.

Nice progress! How much the startup time improve with the CParser patch?

Great news indeed! But this patch only speeds up 24 or also older versions?

New ship sinking looks nice indeed! It can quickly be tried with the Ships Demo Demo Map.

Nice! What do you mean with adaptable? Are there units with turrets currently (IIRC there is no turret support)? Another related question: when a unit fires he must be always at a 0 angle with the target or he can also fire with a limited angle? If the former the bonus range should report only the bonus for the 0 angle, since the latter will never be used. I'd say only on the building placements, where there is space. In the attack selections there are already many numbers and adding more text would complicate too much the tooltip. I like the Panzers example with the red and yellow points (it's useful when playing, you'll get an indication of when a unit will start firing and can help you choosing to advance or retreat). But this should be discussed, do we really want this? What about when selecting more than one units, all the range should be shown or we should not shown anything?

Hi, sanderd17, your patch really looks great! A couple of question here: the bonus range (also reported as (+x)) is the mean value in all the directions? Maybe the "Bonus range" could be changed to "Mean bonus range", to make clear that it's not a constant circular bonus; to make it even obvious it would be nice to show on the selected unit the actual range, maybe also including the minimum range. I remember other games doing so: Panzer II example with maximum range (red points) and minimun range (yellow points, hardly visible here due to zoom). Close up of minimum range.

You may want to change the names while still having a LOTR-like theme, see e.g. other games like wesnoth.

You can try to force the fixed render path or lower the resolution, see http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Manual_Settings Anyway I think you'll hardly get more than 10 fps on that hardware.
