Spring RTS Engine

ok, for an air 'only' campaign (with ground anti-air defenses, radars, etc..) there is no AI that would give a good play. I played with several maps and AI combinations. I guess the only solutions is to make an AI for this type of game, if I have the time I'll make one, I hope I have the time in the...

I'll check it out, as a fan of the original TA the game that always prefer has been BA :)

np, I think it's more on the AI that keeps trying to use the blocked factories and can't use air only properly. I had a few games, just not really challenging, easy to win since the AI's are not aggressive enough if no ground units are avail.

ok, I tried today but the game stops at 'loading AIs", here's the infolog.txt, pretty large..

Other info on this game:

OS: OPenSuse 13.3

Client: Spring Lobby 0.254

GAME: BA: 9.04

1 AI: SHard using Core

me: using Arm

Map: Metal Heck 3.3

When I say that it 'hangs' it means that the game stops when loading the AI, that was before I blocked all ground and water factories. So the game runs but Shards units do nothing and sit idle? Can you reproduce this and send me a copy of the infolog.txt of that game? yes, but it depends on the map...

Now, I can have that 'air only' skirmish but not on all maps or all Ais, on some maps the enemy comander is pushed to the far end corner and it won't move, I even entered 'god mode' to move it myself and it won't, it gets stuck. I've seen this before when there weren't enough start positions. Can y...

hi, I've been trying other Ais too, it seems to be the only way to have a skirmish game with only air units.

it hangs while loading the AI if I choose the 'air' only map (water destroys anything so you can only use air units). Work well on other maps.

Guess I'll try to just block the other factories.

Thank you! I'll give it a try with that map.

Hello I use mainly Balanced Annihilation and would like to know which AI is best to play in a mainly 'air' map (for example Speed Ball Isles 16). I tried several but no challenge at all, for example KAIK uses primarily ground units so it'll build just that. AAI is not aggressive and other AI like E3...

:) no luck yet, no wonder people use the 'Steam' version of 'Evolution' to install the engine on Linux. Will keep at it, or will try an older version of BA to use with the v.96 engine.

Thanks for the tips :)

I do, it's the Web Lobby, I can select which engine to use, shows the previous 96 and the new 100. I can also view/change the settings from the lobby.

You need to use a newer version of Spring. You are using 96.0 (which is correct for evo rts afaik) but for BA you need to use the most recent, which is 100.0. You can get it directly from https://springrts.com/wiki/Download, which is imo easiest, or you can try to figure out how to tell your existi...

:?: Hello, I just started with Spring and with Balanced Annihilation, I played around 7 times and the last 2 games something odd is happening. The factories do not show all the units to build, despite the resolution chosen the font and size when a unit is selected is very big. There is not visible p...
