What's the opinion of AGEOD if I upload mods (modifications) to Github? This will be text modifications, art, and executable patches(no full exe). Transitioning some of the old games to their latest counter parts? Wars of Succesion Engine: Birth of America 2 Rise of Prussia Thirty Years War End all ...
If you are so spared of it that you can't understand why a decently-sized software is not the perfect jewel you strive for at a theoretical level, then you are a lucky man. Good for you! But don't try to apply to a job in the gaming industry, that would be my advice ;) Agreed, Those of us who deal ...
And probably, yes, there are bugs. I know some are rather 'deep level' and never got fixed properly, like the one where very rarely the group ID is not right and it screws a saved game. I plead guilty of having made bugs in a 100k lines (or is it 200k? I don't even remember) engine. I think we just...
Decompile! :wacko: The owner of the code is Slitherine now. Anyway Pocus said several times that he has used Dephi to create the AGE engine. Thanks) The engine is buggy. Memory injection for a Cyrillic font should be simple; there might be dragons(visual bug and unknown bugs) if the games accepts t...
DirectX 9 code probably needs refactoring. Since its old, most new programmers will not be familiar with the code base; we are currently on DirectX 12.
South American Confederate vs Federal wars(inc. civil wars) will be a nightmare to program including the in Indians pacts. Starting with Pre-Bolivar and Post-Bolivar; ending with Confederate defeat and Federalism win, Post-Pedro II of Brazil. Will be the a controversial game since it carries controv...
Pocus, I do know several AGEOD games have been developed by knowledgeable gamers. Realistically, how much about the nuts and bolts of how these games are designed would the team need to know to be able to bring a game into the Archon, ok modder, experience modder or just an enthusiastic fan? With a...
Cool! Seems like you're talking about creating a separate mod for PON. No, I will not separate the fixes and optimization once I finish. When will it be finished? A couple years. I work 300 days out of the year; none stop. Learning how to draw and utilize graphic tablet for the missing portraits is...
Are you guys receiving any error messages or crashes due to missing late Engineering units for the European Nations when playing the 1880 campaigns? (Italy) P.S. I am also interested in your crash logs Not at all. But we are still beginners- Now just 16th turn is coming. BTW - you may join us for M...

There is always the possibility that you get a deal with Slitherine that would open to you all source code. Much better than reverse engineering them, right? If it entails fixing PON; I might do it. :feu: I was being overtly dramatic with reversing. A memory scanner, a save state and a little bit o...
That's a decades project for a one-man team. I have no interest in recreating AGEOD's engine since AGEOD is doing a great service to humanity by creating these games. I just wished they utilize these free 30+ year-old unix tools to produce better code quality. Any programmer worth his salt would be ...
The PON engine is not as glamorous as it appears. In its current stage, it is slow due to development design. Its scripting language is a debacle, making files excessively large by repeating lines of code on commonly used commands(you can ignore this, but the engine will start crying; you might see ...
What were AGEOD's intentions when structuring PON's military hierarchy for HQs? For example the HQs seem like "flavor" place holders that act like heavy artillery/artillery. HQss only appear within the corps level. Are there any other hidden mechanics? Currently, I am modding the game exte...
Does the 1.04.5 patch update the PON's engine? Can I stick with 1.04.3 patch? Lastly, the 1.04.5 patch is not available in the ftp server. I had to parse through the forum to access the most recent patch.
