There's any mod so you can see what your allies see from the start?

Two options: enable reveal map in gamesetup (all players will see everything) or use cheat to reveal map.

From  my point of view, enable the reveal map in the gamesetup takes out a part of the expirence of RTS games (like exploring, trying to find the resources you will need for later, etc), but thanks for the help!

I was playing with some friends, and we got a bit tired of needing to build a market to get a upgrade and then seeing what my other teamates see. So i tought: "maybe theres a mod that already have that tech (cartography) researched from the start. Maybe you guys can help me out.
Sorry for my bad english.

A23? Now there is: SharedLOSautoresearched.zip

@Stan`, feel free to upload it to mod.io; I won't. Also, making it a game-setting would be nice, but also more complicated to implement.

@nani, off-topic yet somewhat related, it would also be nice if phase advance notifications are communicated to all players, instead of only to allies (and observers) and if each player's current phase would be displayed in the diplomacy window.

In "gui/session/chat" there is a file called "ChatMessageFormatSimulation.js" in which, I think, you could remove " || msg.player != g_ViewedPlayer && !g_IsObserver && !g_Players[msg.player].isMutualAlly[g_ViewedPlayer]" at line 91. Perhaps you'd also need to remove line 270 from the "TechnologyManager"-component (it defaults to all players). This should allow the phase completed notifications to show to all players, for the start and abort notifications remove the appropriate lines in the "TechnologyManager"-component (just a few lines further).

I hope this helps, otherwise I'll have to look more closely ;)

Thanks for all the attention and help, but i've managed to make a small modification just for one single file (unlock_shared_los.json) so the cartography is already researched from the start of the match, the mod its attached down below, fell free to change and tweak it as you want or maybe even add it as a option in the match menu. Its all up to you guys.

Again, thanks for all the messages and ideas.

I added my two cents to the ticket

I agree with Stan and the other posters in the forum that this would be a good option to add. There's already an option for "reveal" and "explored map", so I don't see why there shouldn't be an option for players to choose whether or not they want to play with shared ally vision at game start. Just my 2 cents.. I'm not a regular player ;)

Although maybe it would be simpler, or cleaner, in the long-run to make it as a "sub-option" for "revealed map".

I didn't notice that the ticket was already closed by @elexis so.. nevermind ;)

 

I uploaded the Vision Sharing mod posted by @MeteoritoAlpha to mod.io (https://0ad.mod.io/vision-sharing-enabled)

 

How long does the approval process typically take for a mod to become available?

@andy5995 Only Itms can validate mods, so it's up to his availability. It can be from days to weeks

Well @Stan` after waiting for review and approval, I logged in to mod.io today to check their status. For the past couple months, said "pending review". Today, they were just gone. Does that mean Items reviewed and rejected the mods?

Why was this closed? @elexis

This is Elexis's comment on the ticket:

This is possible for mods, I would disagree with adding it to 0 A.D. since this is part of the game. Getting tired to build a market to see what allies is doing is not a reason to make an option to introduce an option to disable this behavior.

This is really strange. Will try to ask  @Itms about it if he didn't read the logs. Thx for the report.

It's a standard RTS option. It should be added to the game.

Hi andy, sorry I hadn't seen this topic, so I didn't know I had to review the mod. It's better to send me a PM (even though I can be long to answer, at least I know I have a mod to sign).

I haven't deleted/rejected any mod, so I don't know what happened with yours.

EDIT: I think one of the mod.io developers cleaned up all pending/incomplete mods from the whole platform.

My guess is mod.io there were some addittions recently, maybe their server recently had to fix so I guess it corrupted cache or database.

Hi @Itms, thanks for the fast reply. I'll re-upload and send you a PM on the forum.. or IRC?
