graphics
I found this open source game 0 AD and I am seriously thinking of using the buildings and units from it for Devana 2.
I will be using it's map editor to take screenshots of the buildings and units on top of the same tile, from the same angle. Then crop the images and put them in the game.
Problem solved.
update:
I contacted the developers of 0 AD on their forums and not only did they give a prompt answer, they also agreed to me using content from their game as long as I credit their work. The full conversation I had with them is here.
Today I'll be doing the graphic content generation using the map editor from 0 AD. I'll post some of the images here so that you'll have an idea as to what to expect in the game. 
update:
And here are some of the images I've gathered.

the graphics of ( Lord of ultima ) is amazing .. you have to take a look at it ( http://www.lordofultima.com )
August 3rd, 2011 - 14:08
I’m sure the graphics are awesome though I cannot use them unless the game is open source, which isn’t the case here.
August 3rd, 2011 - 14:49
I can give you a hand with the graphics, if you are not in a hurry.
August 4th, 2011 - 14:19
Well, when I start I usually go fast through development.
Also, I would first need a demo of what you can do to see if it fits the style of the game.
November 29th, 2011 - 15:22
where can I send you some samples?
August 4th, 2011 - 11:47
Hehe, I found that game 7-14 days ago… and I instantly remembered devana
and wanna suggest u to use graphic for it… I even take some screenshots for my devana 1.6.6.
In game 0AD u have editor that can make screenshot in very big resolution. I think 6800*4600 so graphic can be rly high quality…
If u need some help, I can try help u somehow… With code or graphic…
And also my suggestion is to use spots in town as places for buildings like there is in Travian that would be kid of cool
August 4th, 2011 - 14:16
Yup. I said in a previous post that there will be slots for nodes (buildings) so that you choose where to build them.
August 4th, 2011 - 15:37
Nice, man! Keep good work… If I can somehow help … u can feel free to contact me
(I’m php developer and have some free time 
)
Btw mby is good idea to contact 0AD developers if they agree for using graphic out of their program… I know it is open source but think it is good and proper to ask developers for using their peace of work, before they enter the Devana site and see their graphic here. They would probably be happy if we ask first ;]
August 6th, 2011 - 10:50
Oh sweet, that was a feature that 1.6 was missing
Good work man! Better and better.
August 4th, 2011 - 18:39
you r doing a great work
but are you making the script alone?
August 4th, 2011 - 21:25
He know what he is doing… I understand him he need to make some tweaking on system core in order we can help him… at this time he will probably make script faster than getting help from here… when Devana 2.0 beta will be rdy forum will probably open and we will have chance to contribute to this nice project… For now we can just suggest some nice ideas… and ask if he need some help coz he is the one who run this project he need to maintenance it and at the moment code will be more friendly if he will make it alone. After that we can run in and give our contribution!
Long live to Devana and Open Source !
August 6th, 2011 - 10:52
hey devland can i ask that if you still gonna use that clean function i posted on forum a while back that i get some cred for it seeing as you are using it still in V2.
keep up the work just hoping you can give me the cred for it as it is very important function in stoping alot of headaches later
thank you in advance advo
August 6th, 2011 - 15:04
I’m sorry, but I cannot do that.
In order to appear in the credits you need to contribute with more than just a function made up of other functions you did not create.
August 9th, 2011 - 04:21
very cool:)..like those buildings
August 10th, 2011 - 13:17
When will there be devana 2.0

Hey bud, can i make a few suggestions? If so, send me an e-mail to the address i listed in the email field. I got a bunch of ideas for the game that would be easy to implement
August 24th, 2011 - 07:29

Hi
When The Version 2 Relased ?
Can Devolpmend This Game in Another Languge ?
August 26th, 2011 - 21:31
Good, very good, i very wait release. thx for your job.
August 30th, 2011 - 05:29
Devland give us some new info, were hungry for it
Dont need release, just some news
September 1st, 2011 - 05:20
I hope version 2.0 will be awful !
is after version 1.6.6 ,version 1.6.7 or 1.7 or 2.0 ?
we have no information about future releases …
thank you .
September 2nd, 2011 - 08:44
Why do second Part?
1.66 is still full of bugs!
If you have second in doing, I hope you do it normally,
otherwise it makes no sense.
I think now more and do a final version ready to fix it
September 4th, 2011 - 08:53
Devana 2.0 is made from scratch. Almost no code from v1.6.6 is used (I kept the map view and improved it).
v1.6.6 would take too long to fix. Also I wanted to change the gameplay mechanics; this time around there will be no more levels for buildings/units. The game will have limitations meant to push players to choose what buildings to build and what units to train. This will make for a more strategic game.
September 4th, 2011 - 00:55
Hes doing version 2.0 because he probably feels that the changes are so big that its another software altoghether, plus its not like rev’s often get to .99
September 4th, 2011 - 13:06
Im desperate for the release date of devana 2 rc / beta
September 4th, 2011 - 19:58
OOoops !
Great . version 2.0 must be nice , I think …
If you add a beautifull wallpaper to game & improve graphics I think version 2.0 will be Good .
September 8th, 2011 - 13:12
I’m starting to think that Devana 2.0 will never arrive.
I appreciate your work BTW.
September 8th, 2011 - 20:54
no , I think it’s not very late for ver 2.0 …
we can wait yet , Dear Guest !
September 9th, 2011 - 04:26
I’m looking forward to what you come up with!
Keep up the good work (it is fun after all, even if life keeps interrupting).
September 9th, 2011 - 13:55
haha, keep up your good damn best work, i’m still waiting
September 20th, 2011 - 03:32
Please devland, just feed us even a little news on how its going
September 25th, 2011 - 18:16
just a quick question. In V1.6.6 when an attack is sent and that player tries to see the report and he/she clicks the link it will not bring up the report. it just brings you to the sign in page. can any one help me fix this?
September 27th, 2011 - 05:48
There must be something wrong with keeping track of the session – or it’s looking for someone else’s login (like the attacker’s) rather than the victim’s. I’m guessing though as I’ve not looked at the code in years.
September 30th, 2011 - 19:15
Hi, firstly may I just say I love your releases and have actually planned on editing the main layout of the game and opening it on a commercial basis. (I’m 16)
Secondly I have a spare vBulletin License which I’m not using currently and I saw you we’re having trouble with your current forum software (with regards to spam bots). Anyway just thought I’d offer to loan it to you (obviously for free) reply back on here as I don’t normally check my emails.
Best wishes, Ben.
October 1st, 2011 - 20:25
Thanks for the offer, Ben.
Actually, someone suggested I could use the Mingle plugin for wordpress. That would be nice since I’m not having any trouble with spam bots on wordpress.
Still, that won’t happen until at least the alpha release of v2 so there’s still time for other solutions. This one sounds promising though.
October 8th, 2011 - 04:33
Best of all, first his good job, secondly I wonder if I could say a date when it will be finished version 2 and finally, if the type of license that prohibits use option for users to payment method for points or other similar methods.
Thanks to all especially Devland
October 8th, 2011 - 19:38
As far as I’m aware the license covers all modifications and the ability to commercialize it. Not sure if there needs to be a note in the footer though, haven’t looked at the license in a while.
Ben.
October 9th, 2011 - 14:51
The license allows you to use the game as you wish as long as you keep the credits displayed (in an about page or somewhere similar).
October 9th, 2011 - 19:30
And know that an estimated date of completion of version 2?
October 21st, 2011 - 09:57
Hi I must find Devana 1.6.1 version please
October 31st, 2011 - 14:30
I’m sorry to say but I think we will never see Devan 2
.
November 2nd, 2011 - 00:25
This is indeed taking really long
November 2nd, 2011 - 15:06
i think, we must take over devana project (lol)
November 6th, 2011 - 12:31
sal frate

November 6th, 2011 - 16:02
c’mon dev, devana was so far and greatly increased with effort community around the world, and it ended ?
after alpha released, we will improve and improve the code, then we’ll have a nice game once again to be play
November 13th, 2011 - 17:56
Hi Andrew. I did a modified version of your game. You can see it at http://www.endless to-war.eu.
I have not got all the credit on me, I am given credit and the original authors, I hope its not a problem.
For now I’m working on a version improved graphics. After you’ve logged in, go to Help-> About game and in the bottom of the page you will see the link to the new version.
I wanted to tell me your opinion about the changes. Read the help section to understand what ideas I have introduced.
November 21st, 2011 - 06:27
I found no visible credits to the original authors, which is against the game license.
November 21st, 2011 - 19:32
Dai la Ajutor, apoi la despre autori…
http://www.endless-war.eu/credits.php
December 8th, 2011 - 21:41
And where can these be accessed from the homepage ?
November 13th, 2011 - 17:58
Sorry, the url is http://www.endless-war.eu

November 26th, 2011 - 16:23
Please can you give any date on which version is available and working??? thank you!
November 28th, 2011 - 02:41
You should put the game on github so more people can help add features. I know its alot of work and the more people helping the better it will be.
December 1st, 2011 - 20:36
Hi Devland! I think on your blog peoples from many countries, maybe we may help you with localization?
December 1st, 2011 - 20:50
Hey!
I’m developing old version of Devana (1.6.x) and I’m looking for one programmer which can work in team for fun and fo free like all other team members.
If anyone is interested please send me mail: matevz.sauperl@vepi.si
devland: I hope your version 2.0 will be published soon, and I hope it will be great success
My version of your game won’t be upgraded to new version so it won’t be same game and only different name 
Greetings
December 19th, 2011 - 13:58

Found a big bug in 1.6.6 if anyone can help.
When you try to read a report, it logs you out back to login.php
Demo: churchofgaming.co.cc
Is there someone who knows how to fix this ?
March 8th, 2012 - 10:57
is the code like the original? or did you apply any mod?
March 8th, 2012 - 10:58
he only gets logout if no page variable is set with $_GET
if (isset($_SESSION["user"][0], $_GET["page"])){
$_GET["page"]=clean($_GET["page"]);
$reports=reports($_SESSION["user"][0]);
}
else {header(‘Location: login.php’); die();}
March 8th, 2012 - 10:59
Post the errors in this site: http://devana.ptbyte.net this way we dont spam the blog
March 8th, 2012 - 12:20
Check if in your msg_view.php file you have this lines in the begining of the file:
if (isset($_SESSION["user"][0], $_GET["type"], $_GET["id"]))
{
$_GET["type"]=clean($_GET["type"]); $_GET["id"]=clean($_GET["id"]);
if ($_GET["type"])
$msg=message($_GET["id"]);
else
$msg=report($_GET["id"]);
if ($_SESSION["user"][0]!=$msg[1]) {header(‘Location: login.php’); die();}
}
else msg($lang['accessDenied']);
This line:
if ($_SESSION["user"][0]!=$msg[1]) {header(‘Location: login.php’);
where is $msg[2] should be $msg[1]
January 20th, 2012 - 11:35
DEVANA IS DEAD!!!
We can go sleep now beacuse we will never see next version of Devana. We must find some other blog with similar game where developer will maybe take 2 minutes and give us only a little information if game is dear or not.
Goodbye from here!
January 21st, 2012 - 21:52
Bye-bye! hope springs eternal in the human breast
January 26th, 2012 - 11:50
I’d like to remind you that he’s doing this alone and with the previous project there were also great pauses.
As the site is still here it’s being paid so it’s up.
Maybe sending the developer a message on SF to see if he’s still around could help.
For now, just wait, I had this other OS project which had no release for 6+ months, but their next release was epic, so patience can be rewarded.
We’ll just have to do with 1.6.6 for now.
I’ll be happy to open up a support forum if people are interested so we can still discuss themes and modifications and support together.
But unless someone knows an alternative 1.6.6 devana is good enough for me.
