Spring RTS Engine

mongus... My OS Thing... the platform is called E-BIT... and I am actually setting it up as an Application Service Provider. I currently have no plans to release the entire platform in any way (OpenSource or retail). My intention is to lease it to businesses only. It not really designed for anything...

lol... What makes you think that I have no documentation on what I am doing?

I just needed some feedback to help me to complete the process.

for the most part... I was thinking that it would be something simular to that flow...

Anyway... I thinkt aht before I blow any more smoke onto this thread... I am going to get the final concept together. Ill post more in a while!

One way or the other, I am sure that there will be a way to link the old to the new so to speak. With respect to ground_zero's comment... I hate to inform you but robust and simple is not all that easy to do. I am sure that at some point I or someone else would have a wysiwyg tool of some sort, but ...

Actually ... you are probebly familiar enough with the code to tell me... do you think that there is a way that I can use the existing unit definitions source code to derive a class from both my object model and that one... and then use a series of parser constants for the conversion? If so... then ...

Yea... but I know as well as you do that I won't be able to be certain of the compatability until I get the application done... Once I get done however... I am very certain that if I investigate the reader... I can probebly make an engine that will do a decent conversion of the origional unit defini...

That is quite a sensible arguement... but it might be (unfortunately) a choice between keeping things the way they are or moving on to something that might work better. Either way... I can't see any reason that this can't be XML enabled... perhaps the xml support could reduce the time required for m...

Before I can answer the question about backwards compatability... I would have to gain a more clear understanding of exactly what the official structure would be. My best guess is that the old scripts should run as well if not better then before on the new client... but I still have to figure out ho...

I do understand. I noticed that the point was getting more and more drowned... and it was getting frustrating. I have begun posting new topics, and your feedback would be most welcome!

This is one of a few topics that I intend to post which are derived from another which I hope will be ignored completely. What I am proposing for discussion is the idea of making several modifications to Spring which I believe will extend it's abilities to function more as a client for a plethora of...

Agreed... but the problem is... how do I shut this thread down?

1. I tried to work with the GUI... just haven't gotten that deep. Anyway... Ill see what I can do when I get to that part. 2. I don't think that it matters what I do at this point... it's as if I posted a swear word on this thread... and nobody is willing to read nor retain a single word before or a...

I did.

very good... Consider the following: There are various ways to pay for servers and network usage. You can charge for membership. Or you can host banners, or ... if you were ignorant enough only to read the second of those three sentances... then that is your problem. I claim no responsibilty for the...

did you ever notice that people posting such complaints as those... don't seem to have any quot from me that they are arguing with? That's because I never said anything that would neccessitate such an arguement.

not certain that I disagree with them... just doesnt have anything to do with anything that I have said. If they want to grumble about who does and doesnt deserve to get "paid"... they are more then free to do so. I am not the ideal candidate to argue with such things. Can't say that every...

Thank you SwiftSpear. I was kind of tired of taking the defensive... I am glad that someone else rose to the challenge.

this was as clearly as I could post it... after 3 attempts to rephrase... most people are actually seeming to get it now... so apparently this was clear enough for them. Even after the edit... there is still a lot of confusion... Although it is pointless... I am going to lay it out one more time... ...

deep thoughts by ground_Zero... who seemingly has an opinion about a posting that he obviously did not read.

How interesting :)

Can't imagine how I could miss that!

Anyway... as I said... the point is none the less intact... or probebly moreso.... extending this software to provide a greater diversity in games will improve the gameplay... even directly for rts games :).
