sanderd17 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Oh okay, I remember Sanderd said something about improving it so was just wondering.Making a mod isn't that hard (or shouldn't be, if you have other questions, you can always ask them). But spreading is harder, it requires users to find your mod, download it, and extract in the right place. After that, 0 A.D. needs to be launched with the right cli option.This process could be made easier. As easy as an in game download and use button. When mods get more exposure, more people will install them, and more will start to mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thamlett Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Yes just like that.Could you make it straight, rather that slanted? I can make it fit under my current signature, and other members might too.Also put the date.Est 16/02/14@RomulusI could do that, but it would lose some of the "3Dness" with the beveled edges.Where would the date go? the lower right hand corner?@sanderd17What I think we need is just one "official" mod "pack" that we could have an installer for, at least to begin with since it would be easier to make instead of a "downloader"When we do have it put together, I can make a site for it on my web server.BTW: any thoughts on getting a domain name? 0adcom.com (0 A. D. Council of Modders) is available, as is councilofmodders.com, and so is 0ad.technology if we really wanted it.@niektbdo you want purple curtains behind it too ?

Romulus Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 @RomulusI could do that, but it would lose some of the "3Dness" with the beveled edges.Where would the date go? the lower right hand corner? That's fine, its just so it can fit under my current signature.Bottom right hand will do for the date. Also this date should be on all 0ADCoM signatures.For the domain name, this can be attended to later. That at this stage is a minor issue. @niektbdo you want purple curtains behind it too ?Rofl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamlett Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 @niektbi wouldn't really mind paying for it myself, i just wanted some opinions on which domain nameand i will try the different effects on the signature when i get back to my main computer (i'm doing some volunteer sysadmin work right now in another part of the city)@Romulusif you just need it to fit under your current signature, then why don't i just create a separate special one for you?i'll also work on the date when i get back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulus Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 @thamlettYou can make a special one, no problem. its just for those that want to keep their current sigs, without increasing the space below.If we ever do use a dedicated site, I would opt for an .org site. I can also do most of the developing, designing, and administrative part for it too. But for now, let's first get established, and if we find this forum inadequate for our endeavours, where that be because of space, usability, featureless, or anything which we as a council feel to be hindering, then we can seek to host a site for our work. But as it stands I feel quite at home here on the forum, so I don't see a need to migrate. #Point 22And like niektb pointed out, we can host a page on moddb etc in the early stages of our establishment which should be enough. Because the only time we would need these sites, or a dedicated site, is if we have downloadable content to offer (i.e. Mods), and we don't. We not even in developing phase set.But myself the rest of this council truly honours such an offer, and shall get back to you in due course about that one @Point 22Which brings me to the next point of protocol.@All CouncillorsDespite my brash or otherwise bland statements. towards the infancy of this newly formed Council, I must confidently point out, that once we gain and sign up more members, development will proliferate smoothly. I think we all that are now in this Council should be part of its core committee, the integral backbone of the council, without which there is no council. So the importance of this committee are the members who are extremely dedicated and pronounce themselves ready. Their job as a committee will be to help and bind new modders taking part and the core will have a voice in the council relating to matters and decisions the council makes. So I wanted to clarify the importance of all of you. It's the realisation, of where we all work as a single machine, rather than one lone worker bee. If we all collaborate in a "hive" of common interest, and fusing them together as a concentrated beam of attention, we complete the hurdles infront of our path. Hurdles which are before us and impede our progress. Ask yourself, "I want this done to the game, according to what I envisioned, but if this is what I want... How can I make my life ""Easier"" in accomplishing, and enforcing, enliven it to become reality???" And the answer in this lays right here in this very council Where we all here to make it happen and strengthen the visions of that "pseudo-construct" and hack our visions and desires as bones, then we give it the breath of life, and it becomes animatored and alive. So we generally have these possibilities in our grasp, if we wish to choose to use it. @Anyone monitoring this council, whom are not members.Preparation phase usually takes a while. This is to ensure stability and solidarity. When Rome was built, foundations had to be layed first, and this takes a bit of time. The more time spent on a foundation, the stronger the stability of the outcome. Same applies with the construction of a society, cabinet or any organising body. A bit of order, dedication and the drive to go the extra mile is a forte. And directed down a guided trajectory it can have the capacity to produce something from nothing. Because the main game isn't even near completion, there cannot be an expectation towards this council to miraculously produce content. So I would like those outside of this council's realm to take that into consideration. The key, primary aim for this council is form on a solid foundation in which to become stable for a long term collaboration for 0 A.D. And who knows where the future will guide us in time to come... We might even decide ro become a studio. But for the interest in the minds of myself and the councillors we have to have a strong unity in which to participate in getting the snow ball rolling and let it grow in time. #In my current situation.Whilst I have expressed my heavy work load of life in general and work, so just to clarify that there will be times I am absent and unavailable or idling on the forums, but will remain dedicated to this council.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feneur Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Just as an FYI, we've got the 0ad.me domain. Not sure if this is the best use for it or if it's best used for something else in the future, but thought I should mention it so you're aware it exists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my tablet and couldn't see the actual size. @thamlett Make the the signatures 500 X 200 and the date "16/02/14" with "Est" before it. Also make the date larger so its readable.Also put a description like niektb as said, (eg.

Radagast. Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Can't the kind (dev/artist,..) be put as text .. just like your (currently screwed ) Senātus Populusque Rōmānus. I wonder if there will be enough characters left to include the CoM logo into your sig... isn't there a limit? Would be a pity, you signature with the Roman bust and its roman surrounding is quite interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamlett Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I personally think that "artist" "development" or "research" can just be placed along with the namehere are the new signatures with the "Established" date addedHere they are shrunk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast. Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice they are shrunk. Unfortunately if only one of us uses a non-shrunk version and is on the same page then the shrunk AND normal size version have to be loaded. So it's the contrary of saving bandwidth. As I think the smaller one are still big enough to read the Established date, we should go for those. One more question. How does the recruiting phase work? Rather, where do you plan to recruit, master Romulus? On Mod DB? Or in communities like blender's or Open Game Art? Aren't all modders of this forum member automatically? May we also put up a public write permission sub-repository (if that's possible)? @github: faerietree - my twigs and the fruits they might bear at your service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
