Re: I said I am going to make a game......

Ive been working on this game since. First six months: Blender and shaders next 2 years: learned to code, experimentation past year: lots and lots of stuff. I have spent most of my coding time on the map, although character creation also has taken a huge amount of time. About a year ago I started im...

Re: Does anyone still play?

I always want to play, but since about 2016, due to my time zone (Pacific), there were never really any games going.

Re: Does anyone still play?

You were a cool Canuck Mr. Cucumber. (You too, Bel XD )
I've played a couple weeks recently.
But other than that, not for years. And only intermittently.

Re: suggestion: replay backward/forward

There are no real random numbers in computation? unless you have external sensors too non deterministic real world data. And as the sim has to be sync aka the same after all input steps on all computers, random has to be the same for machines. Spring uses the Mersene Twiste for random, and although...

Re: suggestion: replay backward/forward

Does this mean there are no random numbers used in spring engine?
Or is it maybe a seed?

Re: Spec Cheat Detector via inverse mouse movement relationship

If the spectator only moves their mouse when the player does not, and visa-versa, then there is a very high likely hood of twin-box spec cheating. --- Even after 1 game, the likely hood that two people were moving and not moving (inversely) simultaneously, is near impossible. After 5 games, it is i...

Spec Cheat Detector via inverse mouse movement relationship

So, the more I think of this tool, the more I think it makes sense to be implemented at the engine multiplayer level. Basically, have a program that detects (or reads, if in a save file) movement of the player, and pairs it against a spectator. If the spectator only moves their mouse when the player...

Re: I said I am going to make a game......

The airships, and two race types are my own. (the ones with the green and blue spirit variants). The rest are asset store. Some of the asset store meshes are too high poly for an RTS, so I have to make LoD's for them, which not a *huge* deal in blender. I will probably make low poly versions of all ...

Re: I said I am going to make a game......

So I ignored your pro-tip, and re-wrote the formation painting, as it was not stable, now it is 100% stable. I also added block, flock and star formations. Block still needs some optimization, but the other two can not possibly be optimized any further. Although formation painting gives awesome RTS ...

I said I am going to make a game......

And After about 3 weeks of research, I knew that Unity was the place to do it. The community is enormous, the video tutorials are endless, the asset store will let me buy all the standard stuff like elves, dwarves, castles, etc, so I can focus on the unique areas of my universe. Sorry Spring. I can ...

Re: The feasability of Spring as a battle engine in a wider game

i have no intention of doing tbs mp. it never works anyway. if i did, it would be more like spore, where you download another players sandbox, and run around in it.

Re: The feasibility of Spring as a battle engine in a wider game

That's the answer I was looking for. It's pretty concrete and what I expected. Basically, a graphically light TBS (2d), crunching the CPU between turns, using spring as battle engine. I do plan for multiplayer, but different then what Spring is really set up for, (probably not pitched battles betwee...

Re: The feasability of Spring as a battle engine in a wider game

I think most of your work would be to integrate Spring with the "2d map" module of the game. You could even... make the entire game in Spring. Have the "2d map" act as a LuaMenu (or normal Spring game if you want Spring MP support), and just draw it yourself with some OpenGL (no...

Re: what are the hard limitations of this engine?

yeah, i already thought about workarounds for things like archs or bridges. i dont really intend to use them, but i figured you could put in features or even gaia units to fake archways etc. you could possibly even use invisible transports to rail units across "bridges". but these are all ...
