Spring RTS Engine

havok was also used in the awesomely awesome Micro Machines V4.... ok.. maybe it was not so awesomely awesome..

For quantum,

there are some problems with the advanced torpedo launcher (at least the core version) the stats are all wrong, they have half hp of an advanced submarine and cost three time as much! check it.

thanks!

Yhe, he's realy good... Im but a huble beginer and hope to get just half as good... Unfortunatly he was so good he got offered a real job with money and everything (fromwhat I understand) and is no longer around... aGorm :( I found a powerful program that create procedural textures from scratch, it...

Here's a teaser of the texture work I'm doing for the SWTA mod. So you know, the last screenshot is from the 3dsmax viewport.[...images....] Great Texturing!!! Looks professional :shock: and it's only 512x512? Can you point me to some good tutorials/guide/tips etc to get better @ texturing? I can m...

in short they are useless but COOL , I love western style mech!

You can render on the texture with max too, just put a skylight with shadow on the model, and render to texture to get ao on texture

btw what is xnormal and radiosity simulation??

So basically force modders to spend longer on there maps, And give more incentive to mkae maps with less palyers? Hmm... Hard choice there. modders are not forced, this will be an option. maybe unit lists can be external files: MAP1_UNITLIST1.unt MAP1_UNITLIST2.unt and so on.. when a player host he...

each map with this feature will have something (a list?, a script?) with the units list for each start position.

I dont know how the engine work but it should not be too difficult to add some units to the start of the game. The feature will work only with fixed starting position obiviously.

I dont know if this has already been discussed but it would be cool to have an options to have some units at the start, the list (and position) of each unit should be added to maps. Imagine to start with all lvl 1 factories some llt and some peewee to explore the map. The boring part of the game (th...

Maybe physics routines will be included in the directx libraries...

I'd prefer to have only a card that split his power between graphics rendering and physics so if you dont need physic you can have better graphics and vice versa.

Maybe it's just you didn't care much about syntax as you just wanted to provide an exemple, but still, it hurted me to see bos syntax slaughtered. True, i'm sorry for the slaughter :P. i didnt think of 3dstudio. and 3dstudio has already an exporter (not for animations). Iceblue... you have any expe...

you understand me wrong :). Lets think about a 3ds max scene with a 60 frame animation of a rotating ball that follow a path. The plugin would ask you wich animated object you want to export, you select the ball and the script write a txt file with something like that: //FRAME 1 turn ball to y-axis ...

I have readed that the x1900xtx or something like this (it was a name with lot of "x") can be twice more powerful than the pysx. In the article they said that you can use a x1900xtx for the graphics rendering and a x1600xt for the physic with the same performance of a x1900xtx + an ageia B...

Ati 1x00 video cards support hardware phisics calculation

My idea of "exporter" was a piece of code that transform the position and direction of each object in a string "pasteable" in a script. So you can make an advanced animation with 3d studio max using IK, paths etc. and "export" it in a "to be compiled" script. ...

I was thinking about a 3ds max script to export animation for spring... it should be easy to be done and VERY useful because 3ds do all the work, you only need to export position and angle of each object for each frame...

the only thing is that s3o should support 3ds pivots...

OMG, isn't a graphic board enought? To play a mid level pc game you will need a 500$PC with a 500$ graphic board and a 500$ physic board
Work PC : 300$
Gaming PC: 1500$

I hope that the ppu will be integrated in the video card... maybe we will have lower prices..

I cant distinguish the 2 languages like half of people that read the wiki... I don't care...

PS: There are roads still standing which were built by the Romans. So they are the best at build roads
