Gurken Khan Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 The behavior regarding treasures has changed quite a bit: - units will no longer acknowledge the command to collect it; if I right-click on a treasure with a unit selected it will go there and pick it up, but without the acknowledgment I wasn't sure about that - treasures are no longer reserved when a unit is set to collect it? (No more '0/1' / '1/1' displayed.) Don't know if that's all intended. savegame-5207.0adsaveFetching info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(No more '0/1' / '1/1' displayed.) Expand It is a consequence of not being a resource anymore. So one cannot block a treasure from the other side of the map. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincipalityOfZeon Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) On 21/06/2021 at 12:13 PM, Mr.lie said: Hi everyone, today i want to give some feedback for A25 (i'm using svn-version 25807): 1. i found an unusual behavior related to one group (20 male citizen, 2 swordsman, 2 spearman). As you can see in the video, i selected the group (#7) and order to go. the 20 citizen take the shortest way, while the other 4 take an unusual way. (...more on original post) Expand Greetings, Re: 1. Observed from the video with the below reasons, "the 4" walked a longer path. This happens normally (though i guess subjectively normal, or abnormal ) when area is filled with blocking objects(i.e. many walls/palisades/narrowly passable terrain/player(atker/defender) units). It is a common mechanic to defend against rams/elephants, forcing attackers to pathfind the long way, or even make them circle, with buildings/units/terrain as blockers. "the other 4" has a different formation than "the 20." The bottle-neck is on an incline, with a certain traversal width, and subjectively a high angle of departure with the objects, limiting the bandwidth, and eliminates a passable route. "the 4" group's path is separate from "the 20", calculated on a different frame(?), the shorter path is path-able for "the 20" and impossible for "the 4". they both eventually arrive at the destination Regards, Edited June 25, 2021 by PrincipalityOfZeon clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraitii Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Just as a quick update for everyone: a lot of the team is on holidays / not super available for the past few/next few days, so releasing won't be as timely as we'd hoped, but we're still going to get there soon, no worries. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) I put the "like" here, because I really very much appreciate what all developers/ contributors do for 0 A.D. You rock - and deserve holidays/ staycation/ or just a break (besides the usual real life) as everybody. So relax and stay well!

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 I don't know if it's been reported already, but attack-move doesn't work correctly for groups of units. Only one soldier out of the group will attack the enemy, while the rest of the group continues to the destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes, retasking a trade route always has always reset the dollar amount; telling a trader to step aside (eg to get a plaster applied), has not deleted their cargo and have them forget what route they were working in earlier alphas. savegame-5232.0adsaveFetching info...

Expand Attack-Move had worked previously with formations, I am quite sure. Capturing with formations is also bugged. Sometimes they just stand there. As you indicated, gathering is bugged too. None of this was bugged in A23 was it? Just be prepared for the complaints after release, as none of this behavior will be expected by players. I personally don't much mind, since I play svn and get fixes right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Erm, please forgive me my absolute ignorance about the technical background of programming and building, but I have this (dumb) question: Is it possible that certain fixes are applied without a (noob like me) user's need to build from svn?

Expand yes definitively, as long as you only want to change javascript / strings / unit stats ect. In these cases you can make patches based on the svn autobuild and there is no need to build yourself. When you want to change c++ code or anything that is related to how the engine works, then you probably want to rebuild, to actually test what you are doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
