[[Discussion] Spidermonkey upgrade]

The scripts used for extracting mozjs17 from FF is here:

https://github.com/sstangl/js-packaging

package.sh lists the needed directory, maybe it still applies for 24 also (the patches may break).

[[Discussion] Spidermonkey upgrade]

Mozilla plans to release mozjs24 snapshot this month:

https://bugzilla.moz...i?id=735599#c57

When 24 moves from Nightly to Aurora (around June 24), I'll work on putting out

a version. This obviously cannot be considered a release candidate, but the API

should be stable between Aurora and release, and I'll track any major changes.

Release candidates can start appearing after 24 is out of beta, around late

September.

[[DISCUSS] Performance Improvements]

I found this, it's for FPS games but it may be interesting here also, since it talks about gaming with low latency:

[Linux Mint Debian - Couldn't find matching GLX visual]

This is possibly due to the fact that your gfx chip doesn't support 1920x1080 at 24 bit. You may want to try setting more memory to the integrated gfx to support that resolution, you can usually do it entering the BIOS (the memory added to the gfx chip will get subtracted by the main memory).

[[DISCUSS] Performance Improvements]

tuan kuranes, can you give some details on how did you measure performance improvement with your patches posted on trac?

Also, to ease review and eventual integration I think it would be better to provide a separate patch for every different improvement.

Thanks for your work anyway .

[New in the neighborhood]

Hi Malcom, the hero button looks really nice, do you plan on doing other contributions to the game?

[New Release: 0 A.D. Alpha 13 Magadha]

Just a note that alpha13 is included in Debian sid, Ubuntu 13.04 (released a couple of days ago), and, since today, in Ubuntu 12.10 in the backport repository.

[Flattr Donation Support]

Adding a donation link inside the game would also be nice (maybe also add a pop-up reminder after 10th run or something).

[User Interface concepts]

Putting this here: I've added the ability to select items in dropdown menus by typing stuff with the keyboard (open the map menu, type "lorr", it gives you Lorraine plains"). I feel like it'd be nice to have, I'll post a patch when I get back home.

Great!

There is also a ticket for this: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/698

[[RESOLVED] Linux Mint 14 Xfce error]

This looks an error from the nvidia graphics hardware. Try searching google with the error, there are a lot of similar problems reported by other users with tips on how to fix it.

[PCGamingWiki Article for 0 A.D.]

A bit unrelated, but using zoom and FOV together can give an interesting effect, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_zoom .

[Alpha 14 Planning]

It would be nice to try to include at least 3 items every release from the GamePerformance page. Alpha 14 already has 1 .

[[DISCUSS] Performance Optimisations]

This is already supported in 0 A.D.. SVN keeps the files but the official releases use a public.zip (with no compression so to be able to compress it more in the installer) file with all the file packaged in it.

[My Feedback]

I have to say that I somewhat agree on the abundance of content and rules in 0 A.D.. This may please experienced users but many random users (including me which I rarely play) can find the game has a slow learning curve. I mean I still don't understand what the diplomacy is needed for, as well other little things, like the need to press SHIFT to continue building a wall (to me it should continue by default and finish it with the right click). No surprise I read this on IRC some day ago:

14:44 < Mythos_Ruler> LOL... 0 A.D. video

14:58 < quantumstate> ah, wonderful

14:59 < quantumstate> why do 90% of youtube video creators not really know ho to play?

[Erik Johansson Steps Down from Project Leadership, Michael D. Hafer Assumes Role]

Thanks Erik and welcome Michael

Maybe you could summarize on how the funds for the previous two campaigns were used to incentive a third campaign.

[Suggestions for 0 A.D.]

Or even make a man file for pyrogenis?

I wrote a man page based on readme.txt, see #492, it is used by Debian, but it's not yet in official 0 A.D..

[Single Player]

In a related news Wesnoth 1.11.2 added Micro AI that can be used for campaign and scenario. Maybe something like that could eventually be done on 0 A.D..

[[FIXED] Cppcheck: Mem leaks]

There is already a ticket for this: #1852.

[Portable 0.A.D with C#, .NET, Windows 8 Modern / RT]

But Windows 8 also support OpenGL right? So the port would be needed only for selling it through the store? If so it looks a lot of work for little benefit.

[Portable 0.A.D with C#, .NET, Windows 8 Modern / RT]

Porting to Android should be easier, and it is probably a more common platform than Windows RT which currently doesn't looks very popular.

[defense mod]

While playing I noticed the farm auto-rebuild, but I thought this was a feature of vanilla 0 A.D. merged without me noticing .

I agree that the ungarrison and guard/escort patches should be merged in official 0 A.D..

[Modding vs. Source Code, help getting started.]

There are already two open tickets (#1756, #930) with pathfinder performance improvements. Before attempting to mod the current pathfinder those two will probably need to be finished and applied.

[[DISCUSS] Performance Optimisations]

It looks that, after all, SpiderMonkey will get a big speed boost with the new OdinMonkey compiler (based on asm.js). It was merged for Firefox 22, so it will be also in next round of SpiderMonkey with mozjs24 (expected November 2013).

EDIT: used proper link for asm.js

[[DISCUSS] Performance Optimisations]

I added the GamePerformance wiki page. Feel free to fix and improve it!
