Spring RTS Engine

Funny koth game is my fav:

All out attack on 3rd player is good idea when 1:30 hilltime left?

TASCLient seem to be the only lobby which uses "taspringmaster.clan-sy.com" as lobby server. change to lobby.springrts.com (all other spring lobby clients use this) and it should work fine. Changing to lobby.springrts.com didn't help but changing to 78.46.100.157 helped. Maybe there is a ...

Nice to have forums up, would be even nicer to be able to play: [22:22:41] Connecting to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com ...

-10% zeus hp might be good.

IMO the biggest problem with balance is OPness of t1 big ships. They rape all sea and land units. I'd nerf their dmg and aoe.

The truth about balance can be found in old forgotten writings: http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/06/205506/1280_6166313834373030.jpg http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/06/205506/1280_6364653163343339.jpg http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/06/205506/1280_3662383534336637.jpg Sniper s...

Lots of great stuff but something to fix for next release:
1) No stats after battle ???
2) Wanking commander is back

I'd say decrease by 25%. To revert earlier llt buff, it was given +10% damage per shot and +10% firespeed. Would make early game more interesting.

Amphibtanks torpedo range >> t1 ships torpedo range, might be a problem? But it's a minor thingy, would have effect on 1% of the games or so. Same thing with Anni/DDM explosion, not really a big deal. T1 play is missile lines only, sometimes pw/ak and very seldom hammers/thuds. You never see rockos/...

The problem is solved for me, this helped:

disablemapdamage=1

with this cmd 9.729 runs as well as 9.728 on my comp (is playable).
We tested today with Ciracon.

I tested xta versions with -nocost. 9.725 good 9.726 good 9.727 good 9.728 good 9.729 unplayable slow - starts to lag when I start building an airlab - nothing else but commander and lab nanoframe on screen. SUGGESTION: Someone please put up an autohost which hosts 9.728 OR rename 9.728 to 9.730 and...

XTA is unplayable for me&Ciracon since some versions, it runs so slow. What has been added lately and how to turn it off? It isn't Spring cause BA runs ok (like XTA used to). For some version Kloot showed me how to turn some new shiny effects off, dunno if it should be done again with newer vers...

How about lowering it a bit more? Thuds/popups are too hard to dodge with com imo. Maybe 0.15 or so?

Spring 94 is unplayable for me. Cpu goes 100% and I'm not playing realtime but falling behind every second. Logflush is set 0. I tested this and it can't be a pathfinding issue cause it runs ok with hunders of units moving. When the shooting begins it freezes. Again, when there is no shooting it run...

Moar balance suggestions

-Aircons have crazy good buildpower nowadays, do we rly want that?

-Cans are easy to spam cause buildtime is low. Pretty much kills anything. Maybe increase buildtime and nerf dmg a bit?

-Raven is way too fast for heavy artillery unit

The solution to move up the model centre of the mdexx won't work; I estimate the DT is about 50% higher than the mexx, and raising the hitposition of the mexx would favour AA-units instead of skirmish ones, which is what we should want. Just make mex hitbox 100% higher than dt hitbox so any unit ca...

1) popup has greater range than dominator (core t2 vertical rocket kbot)

2) dt > almost all t1 (mex sweetspot should be higher)

There is no such a thing. His maps are truly innovative, refreshing gameplay more than anything happened to Spring... I'm looking forward to testing this!

Mostly balance fixes (reverts) -air units attack sector -air units shouldn't collide with each other -popup etc cannons speed -hammer speed, turnrate, cannon turnrate -llt hlt values (laser speed, rate of fire, los, damage) -pyro flame speed (shouldn't hit moving units) -some missiles should go over...
