TA3D

Hi,

Tested this version.


With the v5, i tried a mod. Now, look like i can play ONLY this mod.
I can't choose other thing than "default" in Option/Game/Current mod.
Even when i delete the mod from my ".ta3d/resources" directory (i'm on linux), ta3d continue to use this one. Weird...

There is a wait when a zoom/un-zoom and the angle change (in french : Quand je zoom/dezoom - avec la molette de souris -, à un moment l'angle de vue change. À ce moment, le zoom/dezoom se bloque pendant une seconde).

I suggest also you can zoom more.

I suggest you can choose the distance when de units are changed in icons.

How did you install the mod ?

The right way to install a mod in TA3D 0.6 is to log into the NetServer service (multiplayer -> Internet from main menu) then click mods and select the mod you want to install/remove/update from the list then click the corresponding button. If you copied the mod files directly to a resource folder, the game cache will be overwritten by the mod files, in order to get back to normal you should delete the cache folder (~/.ta3d/cache). This is done automatically when switching mod in the mod manager (either in the Config menu or in the mod window in Internet screen).

Anyway there was a problem some time ago with the mod system, it's fixed now but I don't remember exactly which svn revision fixed it and the r2415 is a bit old compared to head revision (r2533). I am going to update the repository.

maybe another way to add mod?
When player already download the pack, but no need download again

Need to log in the internet game ? Errr... There is an ergonomic problem here.

Don't work. I click on "mods", but that don' t do anything. And i don't want to register on the server.

Registration and downloading mods are the most easy way to add mod, but if you don`t want to you can just put mod files in /ta3d/resources/mods/ folder with appropriate ta3d.mod file (there are already many of them for different mods).

See here http://trac.ta3d.org/wiki/Mods

You can write the required files manually if you don't want to register on the multiplayer service (instructions are on the wiki) but you won't get updates.

Registration is currently required but you're right it's not very convenient and technically this could have been avoided ... I just didn't thought about it.

PS: repository has been updated

I've changed the way it works and now (with current SVN revision) you can install mods without registering. I am going to update the repository.

I don't know how the game handle the thing, of course, but why not just read the folders in the mod directory and say "it's directories in there, then it's mods", and list them in the squirmish panel ?


Okay, my update system see the new version and install it. I test it now.

if you wait just a few minutes I'll have updated the packages with the last revision which includes the "fix"

Done.

Of course current design could support that with a few modifications but it could lead to conflicts between manually installed mods and mods installed through the Internet service. This service was designed to prevent game content mismatches when playing online games, even if it's still possible to install a mod manually, it's not officially supported.

The simpler - the better

Tried. Still impossible to change mod.

No wait, a new version shower itself in the update manager.

Okay. After a few test, here my report :

- When i have more than one constructor unit selected and i choose the "guard" option, only one obey.

- When a unit try to go before a stationary unit and this one have already someone to it's left, sometimes the first unit is blocked behind.

- There is yellow dots below planes. for show altitude ?

- I cant play mods that are not in you server. Not even mine (how do you want i mod if i can't test my own mod ?).

- AI love transporters, but never use them.

- When attacked, Coms never defend.

I think my installation is somehow fucked. Do the "default" game have "galactic gate" ?


NB : I miss HP bars.

Yes, the default game has a galatic gate.

To install/test a mod manually you should follow the instructions on the wiki: http://trac.ta3d.org/wiki/Mods
You just have to create the info.mod file for the mod as described on the wiki in order to have TA3D seeing it as a mod. If it's what you did, then I have something more to fix

No, i don't have done that. I try it now.
