• Auto-save Drafts in Chat: Never Lose Your Message Again! when you use hotkey for toggle beetween allies-room to all-room content or back.

This can be useful to prevent users from losing their work in progress.

Planned Features

• change the polar_sea time slices to other minues (e.g. from 15 to 5 Minutes)
• maybe rename it this mod to ProCommandLine with Symbold ♇ (PLine)
• maybe move it to gitlab

Limitations

There is a limitation in the game where replays are not saved when you are the host of a team or 1v1 game. However, replays are saved when you join and play 1v1 games or team games.

This mod is an aggregation of features meant to enhance the 0 A.D. game experience. I usually implement these extra features as they come up with no general plan in mind.

Tips:

start 0ad in a infinite loop. So you never need to resart it manually when you change use TogglCommunityMod - Command or simply when changing the mode via mod-profiler. It allows for fast restart. For exit you then need to exit the calling app (typically a terminal).

Example when you use fish-shell:

That's a fish-style endless loop; very useful with TogglComunityMod - Command or simly when changing the mode via mod-profiler. It allows for fast restart :

alias 6game026start 'while true; cd ~/game/0ad/026/; ./0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage; sleep 1; end; '

The command sets up an alias in the fish-shell. An alias is a way to create a shorthand or shortcut for a longer command.

• alias: This is the command to define an alias.
• 6game026: This is the name of the alias. It is the shorthand you want to use to refer to the longer command.
• 'while true; ... end; ':
• The longer command inside the single quotes is a loop that runs indefinitely (while true) and performs the following actions:

1. cd ~/game/0ad/026/ : Change the current directory to ~/game/0ad/026/ . The ~/ notation represents the user's home directory.
2. ./0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage : Execute the 0ad AppImage

The purpose of this alias is to provide a shortcut command (6game026) that allows for easy and infinite execution of the game. To stop the game, you will need to terminate the terminal session.

useful with TogglComunityMod - Command or simly when changing the mode via mod-profiler.

Bash-Style enless loops ( not tested ):

alias 6game026='while true; do cd ~/game/0ad/026/ && ./0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage; sleep 1; done'

for windows users ( not tested !!! ):

@echo off
:loop
cd /d C:\path\to\game\0ad\026
start "" 0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage
timeout /t 1 >nul
goto loop
