Spring RTS Engine

Thanks for a proper fix Deadnight Warrior. I'll be sure to try it out later.

Don't worry about it, smoth, no rush

My accidental/temporary fix makes things playable until you have some free time. Thanks again!

Cool, Thanks! (and you're welcome )

There is an automagical resource processing file to use... Wow, I can't believe it, but I think I temporarily fixed this on my first try. I opened "ba768.sdz", went to "/gamedata/", copied "resources.tdf", opened "ba_chicken_defense_v2.38.sd7", and overwrote ...

Thanks for the reply, smoth. Is there anything I can do as a regular user to resolve this?

I just tried this for the first time this morning and it's really fun, thanks! :-) I am having a strange issue thats pretty distracting, however. The smoke trails on rockets (like anti-aircraft) and explosions are both being rendered strangely in chicken only ( they display correctly in BA 7.68 ). T...

Thanks!

I right rlicked on Thorium and tried to download the game and got this error:

What am I not doing right? (sorry if I'm missing something obvious...)

Any chance of a new release soon for the new engine version, 87.0? I don't have the svn set up...
Thanks!

I'm also curious on this one. Sometimes the AI builds tons of units, but it just stockpiles them instead of attacking (not RAI specific for me). It doesn't happen all the time and some maps are worse than others (sometimes even placement on the map, ex: which corner I place my base, etc). I've been ...

Thanks for the flowers, but Alba is totally correct in that MT is broken. It works for single player, but will crash/deadlock/desync in multiplayer, especially when there is anyone using mid-game join. Yeah, I was just trying to lighten things up a bit. Didn't want you all to be too hard on yoursel...

Isn't mt completely broken as of 85? +1 PS: I barely play spring anymore cause no more MT I'm not saying that you guys don't have totally valid issues, but I just want to note that 85.0 MT has been the least buggy and best running version of spring I've used so far on my setup... Four Core AMD Phen...

I don't have any specific measurements or graphs, but I can say that MT provides an inexplicably huge performance gain for me. I just wrapped up a two hour game against 3 RAI's and one E323AI (all allied) with well over 400 units per team (unit cap at 1000 for each team) and my framerate never dropp...

Any news on a new release soon? Spring 85.0 broke custom formations for BA and I noticed its been fixed in the BA bugtracker for a few weeks now...just curious, thanks & Merry Christmas! :-) (sorry if I missed something already discussed; didn't read all of this thread) edit... ok, going to make...

Going to jump back in here real quick to ask if it is possible to fix this directly in spring or "upstream" in some way... :?: This issue seems to affect a lot of people using linux on at least a couple of distros no matter how the engine is installed. I played another game after switching...

You're welcome! Thanks again for the help! I love what you guys are doing here. Prime example just now...within 5 mins of a forum post, something is added to the wiki that might help anyone. Cool!

can you try to disable all effects in alsoft-conf? this maybe can help, too. I never tried this. This appears to totally solve the problem with the exact same setup that I was using for my OP! Map scrolling smooth too! Perhaps a bug in spring that causes these effects to make so much trouble? Teste...

you get this crackling with 5 ais? uhm... tried with fewer ais? i guess your cpu is to slow... Ummm...4 core AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor at 3.2 GHz? I hope this isn't too slow... :? And I would test with fewer ais, but I'm not even sure what those are or how to change that (sorry, noob here). :o...

Running Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit, up to date and mostly default. It doesn't matter if I'm playing version 83.0 from the Ubuntu PPA or building the latest development straight from git, I still experience stuttering and crackling sound in spring. The crackling is most noticeable during battle scenes when ...
