Spring RTS Engine

I'll make up for downtime from this thread with some linkspam.

Went to see The Jezabels last week.

Listening to Reuben right now.

Obligatory Hendrix.

Solo project from the lead guitarist from 65daysofstatic.

A lovely sentimental song.

I managed to go camping a whole 2 times, and put shitloads of time and effort into trying to fix my bike only to realise now, at the end of summer, that it is effectively a write off. Gives me plenty of time to save up for a new one in spring at least... 0 river swimming 0 BBQs 0 staying-up-all-nigh...

Leaches don't read stuff like that. I read it! :P From the perspective of somebody who never contributes code per se, but has put time (and an insignificant amount of money) into less direct "devlopement" of OSS, it is quite refreshing to see the emphasis he placed on wholisitic developem...

You guys liked The Expendables? I didn't even enjoy it in the ironically moronic way I thought I would, just a terrible movie in every way.

Bubba Hotep on the other hand... (It has Bruce Campbell playing Elvis!)

Rewatched Sunshine (Alex Garland/Danny Boyle) again last night, very pretty movie.

Novakain (lol remember the [UKM]?) Is running a server, we are looking to mod it up quite a bit to try and make some sort of siege perilous style UO-esque experience. Its basically a platform for him to practice Java with, but it is looking like we may end up doing some pretty cool stuff with it. PM...

After a certain game phase I often have my com permanently set to "cloak: on". I think I personally would disbale this widget, more out of the habit of disliking "interfering" widgets directly ordering my units to do stuff than any concrete objection (I can see it being mildly ir...

So I bought 9 atk speed marks for Kayle, then tried them out on Vayne and have had some success playing her with crit dmg quints and whoring phantoms/IE. I rarely see her played since the nerf, and was wondering if anyone plays her and if so how they build these days? Playing straight up AD like Ash...

Is t1 fighter better than t2? Given that t2 fighters have (I believe) double the dps per-pass, as they fire twice as many missiles.

They are also faster, and radar stealth gives a substantial advantage, both in metagame terms and functional combat; it adds a particular edge in com sniping situations.

TCP is a 1v1 map, I think it kinda sucks for everything else.

That said, Noize's remake has much better metal distribution for 3ffa.

4ffa map suggestions:

Metal Heck (norly :D)
Lava Highground
Pydah Pass
Painted Desert Remake V2

The key thing that makes good 3ffa maps good, imo, is a "honey trap" - an incentive to overextend for a substantial economic advantage. This in turn incentivises the other 2 to attack that player- ohshit dynamic player interaction in a 3ffa? NOWAI Some examples of my favoured: Desert Triad...

Sub pen's evils: Op underwater tidal OP con subs No cost efficient way for sea lab to raid mex in 1v1 (sub pen is ALWAYS the best option in wet map 1v1) Retarded hp on minelayer sub While the lab is not really as strong in a straight up unit vs unit confrontation, it is orders of magnitude stronger ...

I thought I just did?

Call him Tufnel, make him male, give him a hueg beard: done!

A Dwarf with lvl 11 swords skill and an iron katana should be 500 I think. Armour is for cowards :)

Hai! I just stopped by this thread to LoL in the face of all the people claiming eldar are less hilariously weabo/faggy than tau. Also they are not at all static gunline/kitey kitey: noobs don't know about the fish of fury! (also 7pt units with 2 s4 i4 ws4 attacks, free boltguns, infiltration, easil...

I think this may be the second time in this thread that I have pointed out to you that Galio can manually end the channel on his ult, just like Nunu.

The Cursed has a dropship that does flyby drops of multiple units. GRTS has transports that carry multiple units within itself (fully enclosed) XTA has multiple unit capacity transports that eject the transportees upon death (who subsequently take falling damage) ...it has been done a few times in v...

Does spring still crash if the unit dies while being fps controlled?

I think I might have been the only person to host Blackstar more than once.

Its funny because it has been a regular XTA ffa map for years.

RE: Shen, it is a misconception to see energy champions as never having the equivalent of mana issues. Very fast regen with a much smaller resevoir comes with its own issues, most notably the inability to sustain damage outside of the intitial skill burst, no real equipment buffing into the lategame...
