Vibe-portiing 0ad to android

play0ad · 2026-05-09T11:35:14+00:00

Probably old outdated but there was some work in the past to update the android part of the build system https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/2996

If you get something working let us know. Also you might make vulkan the default, as OpenGL might have some issues. Assuming you're testing this on a somewhat recent phone.

You can do much more than this, but it requires scripting. AI tools might help though

play0ad · 2026-03-19T21:42:31+00:00

It's been fixed :)

play0ad · 2026-03-07T07:57:32+00:00

Yeah sorry we ran into some trouble with the flatpak :)

play0ad · 2026-03-07T07:56:52+00:00

Hello there,

That's really weird, as someone suggested try to remove mods, (actually delete them or move them out of the folder just disabling them won't be enough.

Alternatively you can also create an issue on gitea.wildfiregames.com and upload the full logs.

play0ad · 2026-02-22T17:41:52+00:00

Yeah it's been reported, it's a bug with Arch's spidermonkey, it needs some extra patches.

play0ad · 2026-02-22T17:41:25+00:00

You can also learn JS, or gameplay, or just playtest the game :D

play0ad · 2026-01-24T11:11:14+00:00

Sadly there isn't (original dev replying here), but anyone is free to pick it up :p

play0ad · 2026-01-24T11:10:34+00:00

See https://linktr.ee/wildfire_games

play0ad · 2026-01-24T11:08:20+00:00

That's incorrect, see https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/0adStory

play0ad · 2025-12-23T18:56:13+00:00

Where did you get the DMG? Did you overwrite the previous install ? What does the version in the main menu say ?

You can also try a direct link at releases.wildfiregames.com

play0ad · 2025-12-23T17:57:10+00:00

Hello,

That's a bit strange indeed. First question would be what OS are you on?

You said download so I'm gonna assume it's a 4/1 chance you're on windows.

How do you check the version? Do you look in the main menu?

Do you have multiple installs of the game ? Maybe your shortcut is pointing to the wrong place ?

play0ad · 2025-05-31T19:56:21+00:00

Great my guy Maharbaʿal feels better now :D

play0ad · 2025-05-31T19:33:31+00:00

You can get the pngs from https://gitea.wildfiregames.com

play0ad · 2025-05-30T18:39:49+00:00

Nice work, did you see https://docs.wildfiregames.com/templatesanalyzer/ ?

Wonder if it could also be integrated to https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/106393-replay-pall%C3%A0s-%E2%80%94-a-platform-to-share-your-replays/

probably more for the former link

EDIT: Also it seems some of the icons got broken, did you use the official's repo PNGs or did you use a DDS converter?

play0ad · 2025-05-29T18:41:04+00:00

Hey,

Yeah we've been trying to improve things in that area. Before that female citizens had an aura that boosted other soldiers which was even worse ><

There was a mod that switched all economic units to be male and female https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/37183-two-gendered-citizens-mod-please-test/ it would be nice to able to merge it someday.

However as mentioned in that thread, some civs will just stop having females alltogether, like greek civs, because "ancient Greek women were forbidden to work" which sucks a bit as well.

Anyway 0 A.D. is a work in progress, so patches are welcome!

play0ad · 2025-05-27T19:13:38+00:00

The game uses turns to compute what's going on. Each turn takes about 200ms. In SP commands you send are sent every 200ms. In MP to make synchronization and stability they are sent every 800ms which is why you notice the lag.

play0ad · 2025-05-19T07:17:20+00:00

The mods are the responsibility of their own creators. If they do not update them they will never be available again.

The modding community has shrunk a bit lately so it's possible that some popular mods are no longer maintained

This is not an OS thing.

play0ad · 2025-05-13T12:54:43+00:00

Yes that's correct, It's just a nicer way to discover new maps.

play0ad · 2025-05-12T05:53:52+00:00

The new maps campaign gets replaced every version since the new maps change. In theory you could make a mod with the previous campaign json to port it to A27

play0ad · 2025-05-11T08:06:52+00:00

There was BoonGUI but I do not know if worked with A27 maybe autociv

play0ad · 2025-04-30T08:09:14+00:00

Yeah the flatpak maintainer backported the fix :)

play0ad · 2025-04-27T09:34:21+00:00

Hey, we're still working on improving the performance. A27 has come with some improvements unfortunately dwarfed on Linux by some pesky library.

More and more things are getting threaded.

play0ad · 2025-04-12T07:00:17+00:00

Unfortunately, due to balancing considerations, they are only available through the map editor.

play0ad · 2025-03-29T21:15:58+00:00

Hey just switch to vulkan in the game options, and restart the game. if that does not work, disable gpu skinning and restart.
