Spring RTS Engine

For now the option to use relayhosts will be hidden by default. Since whatever happens would probably be new development, I think we can return back to the drawing board and ask ourselves what we want from it. I think that building it to be Spring-specific will again land us into the same situation ...

Why was CHANGEACCOUNTPASS removed in the same commit that added the email things? Unrelated, when will email verification start working? New SL (with email support) can't be released because it is going to confuse the hell out of users as the verification code never arrives. I think the whole emails...

Never say never.

Is this network protocol documented somewhere?

There is a major usability problem in that newbies are, for various reasons, unable to host a game themselves (or rather, they technically can host, but no-one can connect to them). Relayhost was supposed to be a solution for this, but its usability was severely diminished by the migration to a mult...

The issue persists and inaction continues. Closely related would be hosts hosting development versions. I think for the sake of the average user, these test hosts should be hidden – and an option added to preferences (or something) in SL for them to be shown. Would require an extra flag added to the...

Common_Server and Metal_Server still run the same engine version as a month ago. I think it is fair to say that they are abandoned and thus someone should step in and pull the plug.

Why is it switched off?

When it becomes mandatory, it will make all distro lobbies non-functional overnight. And if distro lobbies are updated before that, then players using them will wonder what to input into the code field.

Can you make it work conditional to the email being supplied?

Is the email verification stuff supposed to work? I don't know if I messed up something in SL or what, but it has been a good 15 minutes and the code has not yet arrived. It is not in spam. The account is Test_Bot. Not entering any code on the agreement dialog lets me through, though. Speaking of bl...

(As Bla is about to find out)

I had another idea in the opposite direction: what would happen if all the players were to be made spectators as soon as the game starts?

Just delete them all in springlobby like I did and let the afk AI devs develop them in their own safe space, where they won't bother any one.

Would anyone be completely outraged if the "Autopaste description" option were to be removed? It seems that all it does is paste battle's name into battleroom chat whenever someone joins. Oh, and it clutters the codebase. Current window: hostbattle.png The wxFormBuilder 3.9.0 (version is important!)...

Isn't CircuitAI made for ZeroK? Would anyone really suffer if all engine AIs were wiped out?

Edit: CircuitAI + 104.0.1-1218 + s44 test-5474 = "ui/customdialogs.cpp:215 Engine exited with nonzero code 11". Nothing particular in infolog, it just exited.

Thank you all for extensive feedback. If we learned one thing from the engine ban than its people dislike restrictions. So thinking u could revive it with more restrictions is just... If you want people on the official "chat" lobby stop the restrictions dont bring jn new ones!! Join the resistance! ...

It did help, there was (is?) an issue where refreshing the archives upon joining a room running on a freshly baked git commit does not make that commit available.

Technically yes… delete the …/pool/ and …/rapid/ directories. Maybe also …/packages/

The …/ stands for ~/.spring/ on unix systems. I don't know about Windows.

Only pool/ and packages/ are relevant, rapid/ is just a cache for what is available (local? and remote).

It seems that FabriceFABS and someone named "Great" run the problematic autohosts

Not yet, no.
