Spring RTS Engine

Wow, a lot of posts over the last few days. From what I get most of you guys have concerns about adding a restriction for low-end pcs. someone said it right, it should be up to the mod to define the limits. so no need to worry, ogre will work out just fine. @smoth: nah, no hard feelings. I wasnt ang...

OGRE is NOT a good engine. I have used it and the now dead OSRTS project rejected it. Ogre does its job pretty well. I'm sorry, the statement "not a good engine" is a bit too subjective for me. It really depends on the requirements of a project. In the end some things serve the purpose we...

Wow, that looks awesome!

That's what I thought. That's why I'm currently thinking about Ogre. It fully supports Opengl and Directx. For very old cards there is even the complete fixed function pipeline. But this comes at the prize of a more complex render-pipeline and materials(lots of different files). In other goods news ...

I wasn't aware springmark collects information about the gfxcard, too! After a close look I see a majority of ogl 2.0 cards. Still there are a lot of non-ogl2.0 cards. Mostly laptops and some Geforce FX's and a single Geforce4 MX(They just wont die!!! :P). I still don't like that it's only a partial...

Ups, forgot to rename the file on the ftp. Fixed.

Thx for the motivation

Here we go. First of all, here's something for the very brave, a patch for the codebase with all my changes. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to supply it as a single file but anyone interested can take a quick peek: http://devel.g0dsoft.com/files/tas_no_opengl_horde3d.patch About the patch: - "...

Ok, one thing at a time. You need to show some patches, even if they're not complete. Yep, I'm doing this tomorrow morning and post it here for review. What you're up to seems to be a rather difficult and intrusive task and the earlier you get input from other devs, the better (less wasted work, etc...

Hi folks, After a long time I have finally tinkered with the spring codebase again. Many moons ago I was looking into abstracting the modelformats and ultimately implent a new model format. But in the end I pretty much got turned off by the sheer amount of work to get the interfaces done and thinkin...

Oh my. Dont get too techy or argue that KBOTs on wheels aren't TA enough. I played AA a lot and I dont doubt Caydr's ability to come up with some nice gameplay that reminds one of TA but is something entirely new.

How about less chitchat and more recruiting?

my 2 cents

Also, if your mod is a TA recreation but you use no walk scripts, what will tell the vehs cand kbots apart? Simple, there are no kbots. Right in the second paragraph: I want to start a new mod, one featuring only tanks and aircraft, no fancyass infantry scripting, no bullshit crazy LUA stuff, just ...

I have a related issue concerning the display of build-queues and it seems I have found the cause of the problem. For me the units render fine but the terrain turns grey. Actually it turns to the defined fogcolor for the current map. You guys should switch to the FPS-camera mode and get very close t...

the second one is a heavy combatsuit inspired by the landmates from Appleseed

Here's some unfinished WIP-stuff of mine. Nothing too fancy or textured though.

WAV is still an industrystandard. Using a different format just for the sake of being hip sounds plain wrong to me. Also OGG would only make sense when used to encode huge datasets like musical scores. For small soundeffects WAV is perfectly fine.

so this is only a rule for the old 3do format. Thats what I wanted to know. Thx

Looks like the client dies when it tries to generate the minimap-preview for your map.

You can also try to launch spring directly, choose to be server and select random enemies from the list, then look for your map in the list.

It's best to use base two numbers for texture sizes, and to shoot as small as possible. ... > No weapon ID conflict, no unit limit, not unit size limit! (But size of all combined texture limit :( ) Hello folks, I jus...
