Hi everyone, For a few years now we have pondered whether git would be the right VCS for the development of 0 A.D. One of the main selling points of git is the ability to create numerous branches for parallel development of features and bugfixes. Several popular platforms (Github, Gitlab.com, ...) leverage this to provide a feature-packed development environment, where people can contribute, discuss, review, and test patches. Historically, the development of 0 A.D. has been performed using SVN, which is a bit old... but suits our needs in a number of ways, already discussed elsewhere. We are u ..read more

I feel like chariots need to be changed because barely anyone actually uses them and they have a much higher hit-point than other units so they aren't the ideal choice of champion. The suggestion I'm proposing is to allow the soldier who shoots to be able to shoot at enemies while the chariot is moving. It would make sense for this to work because the guy shooting isn't controlling the horses dragging the chariot so it's actually realistic. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on this as I think it should be a thing already.   ..read more

Today I have started reading through the code, trying to figure out how to export 2d isometric sprites based on the 3d models of actors used in 0 A.D My app will look much like the Actor Viewer tool in Atlas. Unfortunately I don't know anything, like how create a new "build target" in Pyrogenesis / Atlas and open a new window... What do you think? Boston ..read more

[EDIT: above quote is from this post from the thread Alpha 27 Pre-release/Release Candidate Build Testing of which this thread here has been split off] You brought me to the idea to search for 'AINames' (I use GitHub Search for that) and I found lines 85-100 of ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/gamesettings/attributes/PlayerName.js.

Hi everyone, I want to add an internal hyperlinking feature to the encyclopedia (single words in one article on press opening other articles). For that that I'd have to place buttons over the specific words in a text. What would be the best way to do that? I can't think of a good way to calculate the coordinates of a given word in a text or any other way to place the button ..read more

Unsure why this is a thing but as we know there is a limit of how many units you can select (limit 200). Although this isn't a problem for most games, in 1v1s, this can affect gameplay as you can't select all your units depending on how much pop you're playing with.   ..read more

After installing Microsoft Office, your system will automatically open .docx  .xlsx  files with Word or Excel. Can 0A.D. improve the installer such that it does the same with all .pyromod files after it is installed? Set the default app to open .pyromod files to be 0A.D. I think this can make downloading and installing mods much easier. Thank you  ..read more

Hello, first I clarify that I am using a translator for this text since I do not speak English. I introduce myself, I play 0A.D. For a couple of years now my name in the game has been "H.Herle" and I really enjoy the game but as you know almost everyone speaks English in the chat and it is very difficult for those of us who don't speak English to translate it, since I have to copy it manually the text in English in my chat box and then paste it into Google Translate, I would like a function to be added to be able to select any history chat and have it automatically copied to my chat box, so I ..read more

I've been playing wagers/tournaments on games related to COD/warzone/fortnite for a few years now and would like to see some sort of wagering system here. Regular tournaments or ability to wager in games would make the game a lot more competitive and fun as you will actually be playing for something unlike now where the only option you have to play for something is points and that is limited to 1v1's. How it would work: Tournaments: We all send an entry fee of like $5 or more to someone to hold and they pay out the prize pool to winners. Wagers: You either pair with someone on an enemy team an ..read more

Hi! I've dug a lot in 0ad's files lately and I've noticed two small things regarding the naming of files: 1. There are two 'standing_stone' templates. One in the treasures folder and one in the ruins folder. They are almost identical, use the same actor. Why not just remove one of them? Or at least rename them to avoid to different objects being called the exact same?   2. All civ emblems are called 'emblem_' + civ name. For example 'emblem_macedonians' and 'emblem_kushites'. But for some reason, the Gaul one is called 'emblem_celts'. I don't really see a reason to call them Celts here be ..read more
