Spring RTS Engine

What I did was to stop actively participating on Github about 6 months ago, most of which was related to Springlobby. As a result, there now lies a repository on framagit that is ~35 commits ahead of the springlobby/springlobby one on Github.

Be the change you want to see in others.

...Mando is banned from the lobby

I'm quite certain that Mando's presence will outlive all of you and persist up to the server's death.

I agree with Megatron's analysis, this was (and still is) a failure in community management (or lack thereof...), but remember that engine versions were "banned" in the past without this much uproar. What should have been done: - ban problematic people (!!!) - Implement matchmaking - Make matchmakin...

I don't understand this kneejerk reactionary stuff. This is not knee-jerk reactionary stuff, I have carefully considered this and reacted the conclusion that using a proprietary platform for development of open software makes no sense. The time to act is when you have good evidence, not before, not...

One year later, what has been done? I have moved my active personal projects to framagit.org (that were previously on notabug.org) and have mostly stopped taking part in Github activities (for the most part, contributions to Springlobby).

I don't like the sword image to signify battle. This is not a medieval jousting game, but instead robots are fighting each other. Remove the symbol and use words instead.

Using words makes the column much wider than necessary. Instead you could provide better icons for the columns.

No, that was definetely not it. I remember reading about it on this forum.

Was there another thread about this recently? I seem to remember reading about this or a similar gadget a few months ago in the active topics.

The rules are stated in the license under which the artwork is offered. If there is no license stated, then the default "all rights reserved" applies and you must obtain explicit consent.

... The comment was made to emphasize that a reasonable expectation of games based on some era (whether it be in past or in future) is that they are realistic to that era and it was not meant to start more drama. Perhaps I should have used "ZeroK" instead of "BA/TA/whatever", since this game is sai...

I think we have the same problem in s44+1218. In addition to this, some of the cloaked units are intermittedly decloaking - "blinking".

Was this issue not there in some previous engine version? If so, which one?

Ammo/fuel and armor mechanics are not hyper realism. Hyper realism would be making the soldiers eat, poop and sleep.

Without the ammo/fuel/armor mechanics, your game is no longer a historic game, it is merely BA/TA/whatever with units retextured into camouflage colours.

This game is modern war though, not WW2. Sure, but you could at least look at how the most realistic Spring game looks and plays like before spending 8 months developing something "just like it", but moved 100 years into the future. That said, do you plan to implement/have realism such as limited a...

The boost likely comes from analytics and advertisements not loading.

Thank you Mando, for opening this thread. I, too, have been asking myself a similar question. For everyone else, here is the full log, with "what SpringRTS admins normally allow in this community" highlighted in bold: 13:43 <[DOCTOR]Mando> Guys maybe it's time to stop this guy from saying bullshits ...

I wish there were something to also prevent all updates. Those are the most annoying things today on the net: i) ads ii) software updates A solution for those is to whitelist programs. The easiest OS-independent way of achieving that is to have browser access the net via an external proxy server wh...

Nice work!

Has no one told you that there already exists a complete WW2 game on the Spring engine?
