Spring RTS Engine

Well I think if this is what Caydr wants to do, go for it! That said you have such extensive knowledge of spring... why not try creating something entirely of your own design? It could be incredible!

Nah, unfortunately the old team broke up, and several large projects were abandoned. I decided to try and get this going again as it's a bit more manageable then an MMO.

Do you know if there is anyone working on putting dynamic lights into the engine at this point?

Bump!

Unreal 3 engine will indeed make extensive use of the PPU. But it's not by any means the only game... Warhammer Online will use the PPU as well, among others. The PPU will usher in the next generation of games, redifining gaming as we know it. Think about this: with Havok physics, you can have upwar...

I think this idea has great potential, but also great opportunity for failure if it's done wrong. Some things to consider: - Defender will have a significant advantage because the corpses will be near/in his base. Solution: Allow all combat units to reclaim corpses. - Massed defenses make a single f...

----{ POST OBSOLETE }----- This project has unfortunately been put on halt for an indeterminate amount of time. Another project (an MMO FPS we are developing) is going to be eating up all our time for a while. Sorry folks, but we'll let you know if thinsg change. ----{ POST OBSOLETE }----- The proje...

I am running Spring on a: Athlon XP3200+ 1.25G of Ram GeForce 6600GT The game should run blazing fast. I have all options maxed except for Shadows, which is turned off. My framerate never goes above 40 to 50 fps. With shadows it's more like 20 to 30. On friends machines (which are worse then mine), ...

The link to the Fileplanet Download of the Upspring tutorial is dead, and I can find no other way of finding it! I need it desperately so anyone who knows where I can get it or who is willing to e-mail it to me, it would be immensly appreciated. Thanks

More info on the races themselves will be released in good time. We are holding off on more fluff information until the website is up and we have a few models ready to post, so look for that within the next week. In the meantime, i will continue to take suggestions and answer any non-fluff related q...

The United Tribes will be based around a massive flying structure which at this point we are just referring to as the mobile command center. It will be used to construct almost everything and will be an integral, nay all important part of Tribe production. We are thinking that for the Tribes, there ...

As far as LOS goes, that will remain to be determined. We hope to have a playable beta released within 4 months, but that is a subject of much speculation. It would be cool if we could get it out sooner. And for the record, our team size is currently 2 members, each of us putting in a goodly number ...

Indeed, the player color texture areas are determined during a units design. We will certainly take ease of distinction into account when applying texture areas to the models. We should have pics of models up within the week. Thanks for all the awesome feedback guys. Keep suggestions and ideas flowi...

Indeed, even fairly slow systems can handle 1000+ polys per model in most cases.

I can assure you that we will be utilizing fresh and original construction trees and playstyles. For example, the Machinations main combat unit is called the Monolith, and it builds more of itself. The United Tribes will start the game with a Mobile Command Center, which is a massive flying complex ...

In response to Torrasques request for more detailed information, I am now making this the official information thread for Project Ragnarok. I will update this thread on a regular basis with new, pertinent information and pics/screens as they become available.

Thanks for the reply. by 'standalone' I mean that it will not require copyrighted TA material to use, as everything will be made by our team. It will still use spring as it stands now and will work as a mod for the current (and future) versions of the engine. More information can be found in this po...

http://rukktest.stfu.ca/ProjRagLogo2.jpg 5/11/06 UPDATE: PROJECT RAGNAROK is to RESUME IMMEDIATELY I have decided to resume Project Ragnarok, albeit without my original team. This means I will be needing new members to team Ragnarok, so if you are interested, please let me know. I've never develope...

I am developing a GPL stand-alone mod for the spring engine and had a few questions about things that are or are not possible. For one, is it possible to create a lightsource other then the map's universal lightsource in the game? If so, can these be placed on units and/or structures? If not, could ...
