Spring RTS Engine

Hi all, Wotan here fron TA:ESC... I/we don't hate Spring at all, we are frankly just too busy at the moment to port ESC to Spring (well too lazy as well I guess). ESC is a very active TA mod and still generates quite a bit of interest (and traffic) even after 13+ years of TA. We've managed to push t...

The main issue is to respect the unique properties of current / ongoing mods. If we had abandoned TA:ESC ages ago that would be one thing, but we're still very active and in the process of of putting out our first official release. We'd really like the opportunity to perfect our stuff and let the co...

I don't recall TRO or I (Wotan) giving you permission to use any TA:Escalation units (or recall you kindly asking us to do so). We are still developing TA:ESC and have yet to release an official release for TA or Spring. As such, we should have the right to use our own units (the ones made specifica...

This is the latest version thus far. I am not totally happy with the script and have not fully tested with Spring either. Regardless, this is a masterpiece in modelling and texturing from Sinclaire.

Newer version coming soon...

-Wotan

Let's go with Gray then if that will work better. Black always leaves artifacts that are hard to filter out - unless some one has a better work around. Regardless, I will have to convert all explosions to use that blue color background in the end.

That is ok. As long as the explosions can be recorded and transferred to seperate BMPs to form a GIF like anim I will be fine. I will likely have to set speed to -9 the explode, pause, screen print a few dozen times. I can clean up in Photoshop and import into GAF builder from there.

Sinbad is correct! :-) I am working on a mod and want to improve explosions in TA. I also want to begin converting to Spring as well as making mods. Here is the color, with a downloadable BMP... http://www.planetannihilation.com/taan/wotan_temp/TA_BLUE.JPG http://www.planetannihilation.com/taan/wota...

Cool and thanks! With the OTA lighting I'll be set

Wide open combat has...

- Gray metallic texture (I'm looking for a solid color background - no texture)

- Hills (I need flat)

- Dark lighting (I should have mentioned also that I need standard light settings that match TA's sun position).

I really meant it when I said the map is simple

I am known in TA circles as Wotan - for some reason I had problems with that sig when I signed on originally. Anyway, I am just getting my feet wet with Spring Proper after years of work in the TA Community. At the moment I am looking for the most basic of maps. I don't know much about map making in...

Ice, What about moving the unit build slots closer together as in OTA to support the possibility of using larger 6-slot buildpics (i.e. UH Nukes, or special units like the Krogoth)... Also was not sure where you can setup in game alliances or give your allies some of your units (I might have just ov...

Honestly I beleive what has kept TA going all these years is its mod-ability; maps, units, balancers, recorder, unit packs, etc. If OTA remained as-is and never could have been changed or modified in any way, I doubt the game would even still be played except by the most dedicated small cadre of pla...

Oy, I agree that units hurting themselves needs to be fixed, but I happen to enjoy using Cans, Pennetrators, Mines, etc. every once in a while... (aka, UH, XTA, AA, etc. Do we really want to go back to endless MT Forests, Flashes, Slashers, and Super Hawk Stacks (and maybe 2 or 3 other units...), no...

Actual in game model :!: http://www.planetannihilation.com/taan/temp/MKLALPHA.jpg We've been busy at TAAN working on a new Evolva version of the Monkeylord! As you can see, this one is as close as it gets to SC. Currently working on the OTA version with a Spring version to follow. The good news is t...

Look at the Immolator, Trident, Toaster, Kraken, Behemoth, Devstator, etc... in AA and then download the UH Evolva Pack and tell me if you see a difference...

For all you UH'ers out there, I've posted the UH Evolva pack. This may also be useful for AA assuming AA's UH models are fully UH compliant. Many of the bonus units in UH have been upgraded as well... Oh, and there are a few other cool updates on the site as well :wink: Stay tuned and let me know if...

Without a doubt one of the finest looking maps to date, not to mention an original layout.

May I ask what you used to render this?

Neuralize,

Wondering if you would mind if I use your Arm/Core Face Off pic (the one with the thousands of Arm and Core units in a field of flowers) for a TA Mod Frontend screen. I love the pic and will, of course, credit it to you.

Thanks,


Snooky

Yes!

Does salvo scripting from the Behemoth and Battleships work properly? I thought I had some problems with these, but just wanted to confirm.
