Spring RTS Engine

Not to sure if this bug/feature has been listed or not. Anyway I was playing speed metal and the enemy build a huge number of nuke launchers. We had just enough anti nuke launchers to hold it together. Part of my base spontaneously blew up and a nuke hit my ally even though we had enough anti nukes....

How are we supposed to play this? I have been criticised for: A: Not expanding enough.. I expand in all directions. Obviously if there is less enemy in one direction I'm going to expand faster in that direction. I don't see how expanding backwards is not playing properly. B: Overlapping nodes, too m...

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please? I just had an infuriating game of fibra where is couldn't see what anything was because this box was in the was of the tool tip.

Can't join a battle, tasclient terminates in an unusual way, no information provided.

Don't worry, I'm unbanned now :)

Please unban 87.194.35.228, bugged out and autobanned for flooding.

Also, if not just IP banned please unban Orakio (main account), [C12] (which is used for testing/developing springlobby) and AH[OKO] (used for springie/autohost).

This isn't exactly a feature request, but a request for a feature to be taken away. I would like all support for height maps in spring to be removed. Maps with natural barriers are too porcy. I'm tired of having circumvent mountains ,cliffs and rivers, I should only have to go around my enemy's defe...

neddiekrow, it was a joke, ultimately, whether my wall was reasonable or not it not what I was debating in the first place. I can go through the few hundred replays that I have and find thousands of questionable, odd, or just plain stupid tactics and strategies. To name a few of the top of my head, ...

I'll have a go at rewriting mapconv.

I can't help it, I first started playing RTS with C&C where the strategy was basically to build wall closer and closer to the enemy who were too stupid to do anything about it.

Some kind of guantlett, where you have to send a peewee from one end to the other, avoiding ltts, mines, dt, and using allied nanos to heal on the way. Each level you would level up, from ak to something like warrior, then fatboy, then sumo, and finally krogoth

Simple request really, very easy to do. Whoever is responsible for tasclient in the next spring release, can you please make sure that foreground and background colours are defined for all visual entities. BAsically I have a black theme and tasclient sets the text colour as black so I can't see it. ...

Well the LEAST they could have done was send some more stuff to the front instead of building mexes while everyone's metal bar on the team was full.

So sounds to me mostly pointless, better to have a unit that shrouds near by units?

Using hitbyweapon also sounds like a kludge. With that, might as well just increase the hp or use armour instead.

Recently, I some how got to talking about personal shields. In FF I would really like to see more use of shields, generally around ships which is something I was working on a while ago, heard about mad ff and decided to stop and see where that went. Recently talking about mad FF I gather they want s...

Well yeh I just sort of slapped the wall out without much thought although I did have the general idea of making it a pain for the enemy to send a con to reclaim. also makes a good psychological barrier. I don't think I spent more than 2 seconds on it. I almost forgot about it until I had the chance...

I imagine some part of it is simply due to the fact that spring doesn't support the quality of textures and effects that games like supreme commands do.

Not to sure how this has morphed into a conversation about the names/roles or units, perhaps the forum has LUA. Anyway I've noticed that my DT seems to be a subject of some amusement. At the time I can't really say I was paying that much attention :) So I thought I might make a compilation of some o...

Ah well yes huge maps could be somewhat achieved by scaling down units. Also it should be possible to do it with little cpu usage increase or memory increase if you wrote it from scatch. I don't know how the engine currently deals with maps so it could well be unfeasable. The main idea is for things...

Firstly, I'm fairly sure I never said that map has chokepoints although I did talk about maps that don't. I said that map has almost no barriers. Next, there was nothing wrong with my wall. If you check the replay I wasn't the only one doing something about the map's lack of barriers. Making it one ...
