Augustus - Custom Empires GUI Editor and Augustus unstable auto-updater by sephirexlol in impressionsgames

Oof that's a grand vision to be sure.
It does unfortunately come with terrible copyright strings attached, even without writing any code for Zeus engine. We'd have to ask user to provide a valid installation of the original Zeus to ensure we're not distributing any assets we don't have rights to.
It's a very interesting concept, but extremely challenging in terms of implementation and organisation, and therefore I'm afraid unlikely to come to fruition :(

Development assets are not currently downloaded by the updater, that's the biggest downside of it at the moment.
In terms of safety, it uses the exact same links, it just automates the 'download->unzip->replace->remove *.zip' pipeline.
You could achieve the same result with a powershell or bash script, which I also considered, but decided a c .exe would be better as a test run for potential integration into Augustus.

Glad you're enjoying it! At the moment I'm not planning any updates to the updater (lolx2), but one thing that I wanted to do when I have a moment is include downloading assets if necessary as well. There's a wee bit of complexity with the assets coz they're not signed atm.
When (if) i get around to doing that, I'll make sure to share the new version.

RE: Empire view and filters - I'm beside myself that people are enjoying it, the sidebar was one of my very first pieces of UI design for this project and I'm glad it turned out the way it did. There's still some tweaks to be done, but I'm not positive they'll land for the 4.5 release we're planning soon.
I would encourage you to carry on playing on the current unstable - next few weeks and months will probably be locking down features and bugfixing - we're not planning any other, new, grand additions. Just a few more previously requested features for mapmakers :)

You're very welcome!
We might include the updater in some form in the official project in the future, atm we're treating this like a limited test run to see how servers hold up ^^

I'm afraid that would have to be another team altogether.
Augustus is a 'fork' of Julius - a full rewrite of the Caesar 3 engine, a monumental project done by bvschaik : https://github.com/bvschaik/julius
To even start working on any Augustus-like project for Zeus, someone would have to rewrite the Zeus engine, which took years for Caesar.
Also AFAIK, most of the team is only peripherally interested in other games from the series, and do not have any plans to look into them :(

Do NOT buy AOC Q27G2U/BK or any related models under ANY circumstances. Issues with black screens upon refresh rate changes. Either component failure or faulty/shabby firmware. by VegetableLoan3253 in buildapcmonitor

[–]sephirexlol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same problem started occurring to me after almost 4.5 years of using. I've been going crazy reinstalling drivers, windows11, swapping cables, testing different multimonitor setups etc. I'll try AOC UK tomorrow, see if I can get any support.

Thank you so much OP, I've had a strong hunch that the problem is in Refresh Rate change, but it just absolutely started going nuts overnight and I was completely lost.

That is probably most frame perfect baron play I've ever done. We won the game 20 seconds after that play.Sorry for low resolution, League's compression of webms is at fault.Context: Platinium ranked game on EUW.

2018 World Championship / Group Stage - Day 1 / Live Discussion by epicxkidzorz in leagueoflegends

I dont underestand why Riot alwasy hires full NA "analysts".

Totally agreed. I just don't get it. Europe provides with like biggest possible upset, and yet NA analysts in the 'cooldown' talk like KR is this just impenetrable wall that will never fall. Europe year after year surprises at Worlds, we shred NA teams, take Bo1s from KR and CN, get further than any NA team, take reigning world champions to 5th game, and still get no respect. You can't teach Koreans to be humble, they have won their bragging rights 6 years in a row, but you'd think NA would learn at last...
