Spring RTS Engine

In the interest of disclosure, SpringRTS isn't the only opensource RTS engine, although I'd say it is the most versatile. Warzone2100 is quite mature as well, and 0.a.d., although still in alpha, is shaping up to be a really impressive work with it's own mod support. 0.a.d very much has it's roots ...

d000hgRTS, your feedback as a newcomer to the particularly useful and useless areas of the wiki would be useful, once you get to the point of putting 'pen to paper' in making a game. Good point. You often find people familiar with an engine/codebase forget all the "well it says X but since ver...

Great. The only other thing I would like to ask now is, what proportion of people on the general boards (not the engine-development ones) have ever worked on the engine code or even looked at how it works?

I'd noticed from the wiki that there's a high emphasis on scripting, notably with Lua - which is great as it's one thing I hadn't gotten round to in my own RTS game project. I was interested just how far that goes - can you totally change game mechanics witho...

Thanks for the replies - to get multiple replies in a few hours is always a good indication about a community :-) I've been wading through the wiki but clearly a project like this is BIG. Is the wiki generally kept up to date, or should a noob trawl the forums as well? For instance I noted it talks ...

Hi everyone. I only found about SpringRTS a few days ago, I've looked briefly through the wiki and it seems almost too good to be true - a professional level RTS game engine that's open source! I had two main queries... 1)Is the project still under active development or is it 'finished' at this poin...
