Re: Lesser known game mechanics
Laser and beam weapons do 50% damage at max range and 100% at point blank, This isn't right, see the edgeeffectiveness tag on https://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:WeaponDefs. (Not sure about the exact numbers for the angle multipliers, but afaik the rest are correct.) I think it's not about `edgeEffe...

Re: Upcoming lobby server updates
103 breaks compatibility with bos scripts and fixing it would require us to manually compile 750 scripts Since both BA & TechA rely on bos scripts, and have certainly not manually compiled each individual script, I don't believe this. If there is a degree of truth inside it somewhere, please explai...

Re: team won condition
Keep in mind that just like there are multiple teams in an allyteam, there can also be multiple players in one team (aka commsharing).

Re: gaia instances
I think multiple Gaias (in general, extra allyteams not specified in startscript) would be useful. Example: in ZK we have chickens and zombies who are two types of environmental hazards hostile to all players that would each, separately, make sense to be Gaia. But we still want them to fight each ot...

Re: myGravity
1 s == 30 frame
elmo/s² == elmo/(30 frame)² == elmo/frame² / 900
For example, standard map gravity seems to be 120 elmo/s² which means the equivalent for weapons is 120/900 == 0.1333 elmo/frame².
elmo/s² == elmo/(30 frame)² == elmo/frame² / 900

Map gravity is defined in elmo/s² while weapon myGravity is defined in elmo/frame².

(doublepost since I can't edit)
...because it made it look precisely as if you just broke up a larger post. If further microposts happen regularly every now and then (instead of being stockpiled and dumped all at once) it sounds like a decent improvement for activity though.

I think by dumping all the micronews at the same time you completely ruined your attempt to convey what the purpose of the micronews is.

Re: Mutator Modtype
Engine source says 2 is "reserved" and it doesnt seem to be used, I don't think Spring supports optional archive loading. As a temporary measure you could have users dump the music in their local sounds folder (similar to how local user widgets are "installed"), though this is not a general solutio...

Re: Can you make and sell a spring engine game on steam
You can sell a game but you also have to provide the content sources for free for anybody (Edit: anybody who bought the game) and wants them (which means that what you're really selling is whatever service your game server provides).

Re: An open letter/epitaph to BA and it's "community"
also in this discussion often is missed that changes in the engine or bug fixes already change balance!

Re: Add a new rule for game hosting: all non-private rooms must have content that can be auto-dl from SF, rapid or build
What are the meaningful differences between content and engine from the PoV of a player that warrant special handling for one but not the other?

Re: Bots and teamIDs
Bots are handled quite differently in the engine so it makes sense that the Lua interface reflects this. It might take a lot of effort to modify the engine and such change could break backward compatibility. It's probably easier to poison your callouts: local AIs = {} do local teamList = Spring.GetT...
