civselect

civselect

Note: Development has ceased on this branch due to factors mentioned below. It remains online for reference only.

This is an AOM-style civilisation selection dialog. The user can, by clicking an emblem, select a particular civ or group of civs, and see some basic information about it. Selecting a group of civs (ie the group of "European" civs) will cause one of the civs in the group to be selected at random upon match start.

The dialog is implemented as a separate page, and thus can be used elsewhere in the game's UI should the necessity arise. Also, I felt (at the time) that the code for the gamesetup page was really too convoluted to mess with.

This branch started off as a rebase of my 0ad-civselection-mod. I moved it here to permit easier tracking of changes of core content.

More recently (May 2016) the contents of this branch were taken and used (with my permission) in ticket #3938. Sandarac, the contributor working on that ticket, has made some extensive modifications which means it looks and functions somewhat differently. I have had little to no part in the changes.

Known Problems:

• Some group emblems (particularly those for cultural groups) may not be appropriate.
• Modifies the gamesetup page. Which makes it not exactly mod-friendly.
