Spring RTS Engine

Will be testing stuff out with changing the map with terraforming.

Thanks for the help.

Or.. do you have a bird-s eye view of the maze? Mapping to Spring would only benefit if you are on a large 3D terrain and you need to know if the slopes are climbable, and compute a path between land features etc. For indoors, I think a simple B&W image/map would do :lol: I want to figure out h...

That would work great for objects avoidance and basic object tracking, but not as well for intelligently finding a way through a maze. Perhaps a camera and a series of mirrors would work best. It would probably not be too bad if the robot was a little tall, as long it remained considerably heavier o...

And I'm totally fine with exploring an absurd number of options.

It will likely not be running in any truly adverse conditions. Inside, generally flat floor, numerous obstacles, a labyrinth would be an excellent demonstration of what I would want it to basically do. I'm honestly not sure how big it would have to be, but nothing more than a couple feet long and wi...

Sure sounds like you know what you're doing .

Any way to edit the max map size? Never mind how much processing power any of this will take.



Also, Blender would be used for the detailed map output, all the Spring Map is for is to avoid major collisions.

the map part though is possible. you'd want to mock it up in a 3d cad program and then make a heightmap and import to spring in a large format (i could help you/give you details or a process for this) not sure exactly the methodology, and haven't a clue about the robot control side of it (but i can...

Why do you need spring there? ... Adding spring there seems like creating a big laggy bloatware to me, unless you have some supercomputer attached to the robot, and usually these kind of projects involve netbook HW or similar. It is essentially 'laggy bloatware,' but the computer system that will b...

Not sure what you mean. [referring to part 3] The problem with having the robot think of itself as an ingame unit is if it gets off map. Say it slips, for example, or doesn't move as fast as it thought it would. If it is a numerous points off the grid, it wouldn't be able to interact with its envir...

Is it possible to build map from a Blender or other 3D file? I want to use the Spring Engine, having a considerable AI and some flexibility, for a university robotics project that I may do. We would be creating a 3-D map of an environment and then importing that into the Spring Engine as a map. The ...
