Spring RTS Engine

Thread fails because of lack of orbital laser cannon fire, not because of lack of photographic skillz

Propaganda capsules urging peewees to turn against the arm oppressor, turning them into a gaia faction?

Would it be possible to make wrecks and features transportable?

That would make possible the kind of resource collection you see in lots of other RTS, where you have worker units collecting resources and bringing them back to your base. It would be a good feature for more variation in mods, I think.

Spring is an open-source project, not any commercial product and as such does not need to cater to any 'market'.

I remind you, the flares will be only effective once out of every 5 shots, unless you can agree on a different solution. Maybe slow-firing but with high efficiency would be better. Would it be possible for fighters to trigger an evasive-maneuver-script instead of firing off a flare? So that just be...

Min3mat, how about hosting games with those units disabled?

Remember the progress bar for units, where health was displayed along with, if it were building something, what health or progress it was at? Is this going to be implemented, is it already and I just don't know about it, or has it been forgotten altogether? I like the experience points and being ab...

At the moment the shellshocker and wolverine have slightly longer range than HLTs, right? But if they're set to Maneuver, they'll move on their own just inside the HLT range. But as far as I know, if they're set to Hold, they won't move on their own. So as far as I can tell, the lvl 1 artillery vehi...

I had a fun battle on Crossing v4. Comm Ends, 4v4... One of the enemy players gets his plasma cannon up in the middle just seconds before mine's done. But he neglects to put any laser towers near it. So I stroll my Comm over there, D-Gun a mob of AKs, D-Gun the plasma cannon, and then saunter off. ...

"Units sometimes get stuck" / "units dont obey" try using the waypoint system (shift) and with a little pratice this will no longer be a problem. units get confused in all RTS, even (escpecially...) in Starcraft. With Spring you can at least give them complex orders that to 99% ...

And let's not forget the mod makers

The amount of balanced, diversified and fun content for this game just blows my mind. THANKS!

Early game, a flash scout ran in the general direction of my commander, I ordered the flash d-gunned...

... and my comm managed to hit himself.

I had a weird bug where I could only click to add labels. No other clicks would register, so I was unable to give any orders or do anything. It was like the key for adding labels was stuck. Maybe Spring somehow didn't detect the keyup event for the label key when I released it? But it didn't help hi...

Is it possible to make lasers do low damage but push away units like explosions do? If the beamer did that it'd be pretty interesting. You'd have to be careful with placement to make sure the units are kept out of your base instead of getting boosted straight into it...

Decoy Commander blast now visually emulates a real commander blast, but without the damage or shockwave Smokescreens! Metal maker explosions replaced with energy storage explosions, moho metal maker explosions replaced with fusion explosions Ouch! OUCH OUCH OUCH! I seriously need to learn how to sp...

First thing I thought of when I saw this was a drone carrier. Would it be possible to script it like the Triage?

I've always wondered about map doodles, and finally found the entry about it in the wiki, which says: Map Doodles Hold the ` key to draw on the map, only you and your allies can see these doodles. Use this tool to mark out territory or warn of impending attacks or mark enemy bases or play tic-tac-to...

Ok, so you need to hit a radar or jamming tower for it to work. Is it countered by anti-nuke missiles?

This might go in general chat, these points are relevant for Spring as a whole, not just the AA mod.

Just a question: what's the purpose of the anti-radar/jammer building in AA? It builds some kind of missile right? But I have no idea how it's supposed to work.
