List of unused technologies template (json files)

[fatherbushido]

I list some files that are currently unused. For some/many of them, it may be intended. Morevoer it can be a bad idea to remove all of them if it's planed to use them again (related to the translation work for example).

ref r18595

[Imarok]

Move tickets to Simulation as UI & Simulation got some sub components.

[Itms]

Nescio has looked into this. The obvious downside is if we want to add back technologies in the future, but I guess they would be added with modifications anyways, and the alternative of having unmaintained unused files is not nice.

Thoughts? Maybe we could have a place where we store obsolete gameplay the same way we keep old art sources, just in case... But we should find such a place, and contrary to art rewriting some json is not a big deal.

[Krinkle]

Removing them now, means they can still be recovered for inspiration or as starting point in the future, by checking them out from the older SVN or Git trees (after all, that's the power of version control).

They could still be discovered by searching through commit histories, Phabricator and Trac. For example:

• ​https://github.com/0ad/0ad/search?q=infantry+javelinist&type=Commits find r22581
• ​https://code.wildfiregames.com/search/query/C3l26U1fSjj./#R also finds ​https://code.wildfiregames.com/rP22581
• ​https://trac.wildfiregames.com/search?q=infantry+javelinist&changeset=on&ticket=on also finds r22581

Would that suffice?

Translations are not versioned though as Fatherbushido stated

[wraitii]

Translations actually are versioned, only in .PO files. So we could recover them anytime regardless.

[wraitii]

In 23770:

Delete unused technologies.

Many were 'pair' technologies, originally removed from the game in rP15713.
