Spring RTS Engine

Where? I can't find it.

There's this for maps, but apparently it's only implemented in TASClient.

... The AI's need to stop being bundled with the engine. It is extremely confusing to players and the lack of support for validais.lua and validmaps.lua is crippling to the entire experience. Most games won't have a reasonable SP experience. Evo does, but even though shard plays a pretty ...

... not in 0.8.x ones. Are you sure it still happens in the latest version? I think the way to avoid crazy combos would have been to implent validmaps.lua and validais.lua.... Yes, but our integration issues are not just game-map, game-ai, etc related (what we described was only spring related ...

... crazy combos which happens too often to newbie users e.g. NOTA game on 8x8 map). I think the way to avoid crazy combos would have been to implent validmaps.lua and validais.lua. (https://springrts.com/wiki/Validmaps.lua https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2923) At least the first one is already ...

... springsettings.cfg, and similar. It's something we've been dicussing informally and we'll probably see happen sooner or later. Currently not even validmaps.lua or similiar files are implemented by any lobby or engine. (TASClient was doing some steps with validmaps but appearently it has now been ...

... be a bit hyperbolic but at least close to the truth. For a decent singleplayer experience many mods will want to limit the map-selection anyway (validmaps.lua) so even something superprimitive as Kernel Panic did (included map images in bitmaps\minimaps\) is okay. It can be improved later and ...

... maps get downvoted or commented as "broken" because it is just one big map pool. Obeying mod's maplist ( http://springrts.com/wiki/Validmaps.lua ) would also be nice. I know not many lobbies or mods really use it atm, but now that there is a new lobby being made I think it is good ...

... play a single player game without maps (apparently they are not included in the "Game" archive (the list of valid maps is empty) The validmaps.lua file is something else, but basically correct. That is a problem that Spring peoplepersons are still figuring out how to solve. Some games ...

Aslo, if I want to play more than one spring engine game: all of that data files would be mixed together if I followed the above advice. It would mean all games were in the same directory, as were all maps, yes, if that's what you mean by "mixed". That is what the instructions say and tha...

... non-lobby peopleperson perspective the "missioninfo.lua"-way does not seem easier to implent. Realisticly one should note: not even validMaps.lua really works despite engine-side it is appearently fully implented and everything. Last I checked TASclient was only lobby that used it. ...

@knorke (answers emphasized): maps and teams matter for regular games, too. true Some games require special maps, that is why there is validmaps.lua - http://springrts.com/wiki/Validmaps.lua For missions you'd want to be sure that validmaps.lua exists and contains exactly one item. In addition ...

... I think that misses something important: maps and teams matter for regular games, too. Some games require special maps, that is why there is validmaps.lua - http://springrts.com/wiki/Validmaps.lua Limiting which AIs are allowed to be added is an often expressed wish: validAIs.lua http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2923 ...

... solution is here: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2923 I agree. A ValidAIs.lua inside the mod archive, implemented in the same way as Validmaps.lua , is the way to go. For AI devs, and advanced users, an option hidden deep in the settings to disregard that and show all AI could be ...

Tremendous benefit to all of us, tbfh.

Bump for great justice.

Would be of tremendous benefit to MCL.

Whats the unitsync call to read this? Or its meant to be read using luaparse unitsync calls?
