Spring RTS Engine

Guys guys guys ... I have never read such many half-truths, you should read up before posting something as fact ... Virtual Address Space != Physical Address Space Even without PAE the OS uses a Virtual Address Space, and only maps SysRAM, PCI, ... on-demand. There is a 2GB barrier on Windows (on l...

Better be careful then, as I am poisonous...

I didn't expect any actual care. but I will not simply "suck it up". So thanks for your advice, but do not expect me to follow it literally.

thanks for the simple answer to expand upon, which is what I was looking for in the first place :)

I still think it's an impressive open source engine :)

that is still no excuse for your behaviour, such a high fuss over very little things.

besides, what is obvious for you, thanks to your technical knowledge, might not be obvious for other people, who lack tech knowledge but have other talents.

Odds are you would never complete it true. especially considering I have no idea where to start. still worth a try tho, being based on the same scripting language LUA, unless I am gravely mistaken. Is irrelevant - it is the API that matters, not the language syntax. e.g. Windows and Linux are both ...

the question about RAM is not casual. New engines such as Egosoft's X rebirth, for example, are capable of making use of it. the Large Address Hardware "fix" also enables this, to a certain extent. plus, ram is somewhat cheap now and 64bit Os are getting more popular. Add to that, linux ve...

problem is, the company was dissolved and Relic has been acquired by Sega. Which is NOT famous for customer feedback, not even for the PSO series.

Chances of that are almost non-existant.

This is community-> general discussion.. yo will note there is a: Development -> engine discussion. there is also this AMAZING FEATURE: SEARCHING A FORUM <- this is a link. Before asking the devs these sort of questions, please use search if a dev answered nicely, you have no authority to correct. ...

you're not a prophet, so...

besides, GW might be, but Relic and THQ have fallen, and no license has been renewed. even DOW3 has been "put on hold" indefinitely...

allow the great mods for that game to be used in the spring version

what? 3gb? I was adamant it was 2 :D

that is good. that game was awesome.
what about mod support?

the main problem with that game is two-fold:

steam ruined it
AND
the engine is old. VERY old. makes it almost unplayable.

I was wondering how problematic it would be to remake the Dawn of War Soulstorm game, and its awesome mechanics, in Spring. Besides copyright issues, even if THQ was shut down :( at least the LUA script language could be used, I think. then there would be the issue of all the awesome mods that exist...

Is the engine going to exploit multithreading more, and make advantage more of new technologies? like more than 2gb of ram?
