Spring RTS Engine

:lol: I'm going to wait until this trial expires to try something else...I don't want to feel obligated to try out multiple ones at the same time. It'd get really confusing. But I will try those eventually, thanks for the recommendations~ I also was going to get Blender anyway just because it suppor...

That gun was made in Hexagon 2.5; I have recently downloaded the (trial) to 3DSMax. I'm trying out different modeling systems. I found where it tells you how many polys are in an element in 3DS Max. Couldn't find them in Hexagon. I guess I can try to export that gun as a .obj and figure out how many...

It most likely is going to be held by a unit in my game, yes.

As far as units on the map...I would guess at around 100~150 tops? Kind of hard to say right now though.

I am kind of new to this so...how does one find out the poly count of any model?

@Smoth: I can understand that, I guess. Totally truthfully I don't really use 'MMORTS' as what it really means; I'm not trying to revolutionize the gaming industry in a day or something. I just want to make my own little game that I can enjoy. Point taken. @zwzsg: Okay... http://i945.photobucket.com...

@zwzsg: Just letting you know that this is not my first project, but thank you for translating Picasso's riddles to me. The point in this thread was to decide whether or not to use the Engine to build my game on. Whether it becomes reality or not over months of work is my problem; I just wanted to k...

Yeah I am probably mis-using MMORTS...persistent characters, whatever they are. It was just whatever came up at the time to attempt to illustrate my idea.

Anyway, I think that's all my questions. Thanks for the help everybody.

@Picasso:

MMORTS implies a still vaguely defined genre that some games are trying to create, but I think none are really succeeding. Precisely my man! I've been wanting to make a game for a long time, but no matter what I came up with, the gaming market was saturated with it already. I've only seen like...th...

I'm using the term "MMORTS" here simply as a way of saying it's online-capable and multiplayer. I would call it an "MORTS", since it's instance-based on would not have hundreds of players popping up whenever they want to like in WoW or EVE; but people would think "MORTS"...

Sounds neat.

I wish you luck on it!

:| @Licho: I didn't say I was building an MMORTS ant farm. It's not like the entire game would be based on caves and tunnels. I was merely asking if it was possible. In fact, I hadn't planned on putting any caves and tunnels in the game until someone mentioned it when I was looking up info on Spring...

@Google-Frog: This question asks too many poorly defined things to be answerable. What is a server and what is an MMORTS? I was under the impression that most people (PC Gamers/Developers) knew what these were, but... MMORTS = Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy. I.E. People connecting f...

Thanks for the response! :mrgreen: kind of vague but I suppose you can have a pre-made base in game, there is already a mission system set up where there is this sort of thing, at least I think so What I mean is like...a "City" that you go to in-between doing missions. You go back to your ...

I would just like to ask a few things, as I'm considering using Spring as a base for a game. As of now I basically know nothing of the Spring Engine. 1: It is my understanding that Spring creates RTS'. I plan on making a game similar to an RTS, but you also have a "Base" that you return to...
