Hopefully now I will be able to do something.

I will test it a report back.

Playing single player I have no issues but when playing (or specing) muilt player games my whole system will lock up after several minutes. The system is totally unresponsive including mouse. Can not change to console. Can not restart xorg using ctrl+alt+backspace. Only resort is to press the reset ...

Sometimes when playing Spring (BA 6.85) the sound will give out and I can no longer get any sound from anything including Spring, movies and MP3s until I reboot the machine. Sometimes the sound will fail while playing an effect and that sound bite will repeat until the current playing game closes. T...

Every player I see in the lobby is listed as a novice. Clearly some of them are old hats.

Any ideas?

No, there are none ready but there are plans for more. It's just that real life has reared it's ugly head :)

Why Xab The Terra v4? v3 is much better. What on earth is Xab The Terra? It is a map... quite a good map at that. Link for my map pack: http://www.unknown-files.net/index.php?page=browse&dlid=1711 Or to make it easier to remember use: http://tinyurl.com/frael Or just point them to my site which...

About the tricky tricks part with the Atlases: Before queuing up orders put the first Atlases AND the advanced airfield into a group, then while having them all selected (the one which is in production as well, it should be in the group too) set up the same route again and watch all newly built atl...

Because noone pointed it out untill now.
Because I have never seen v3 hosted. (not to say it isn't played)
Because v4 sounds better than v3

What are peoples toughts on this? should v3 be played over v4?

I have assembled the pack and put all of the files into a zip file with two directories ("mods" and "maps"). Simply unzipping the file into a new players spring directory should put everthing into the right place. Pack is been uploaded to mirros now. Will edit the first post with...

Good enough for me!

I am making a spring manual !

P.S. I really hope you are a chick.

include some AI:s, installed in the right way. Ones that work with current spring. They're not big. And then SpringSP latest version too, it works like a charm. Someone who knows the current status of all AI:s can post here, I don't and don't wanna get flamed, as I don't know where they all stand, ...

You could go over the selection editor and default hotkeys, some are pretty usefull and both are generally unknown I will have to see how long the video is after I cover the out of game stuff. I have a feeling that it will be better to have a video on out of game stuff, one on in game stuff and the...

OK... can I bring the conversation onto what maps SHOULD be included in the package? Is this list going to cover enough of the games new players are going to join?

There should be a note about Speedmetal in the video. It should tell people what this map is, and how it differs from a 'normal' map, and suggest to people to at least TRY other maps before trying SM, as the SM maps are not what mods take as the norm, therefore ruining the balance of said mods. It ...

I don't want this pack to be mapist... I want people to download it and then find they can join 75% of the games been hosted. It's like saying I refuse to sell you anything with too much sugar in it when you run a candy store! If you think there should be something in the video about discourging peo...

You really don't need two SpeedMetals maps. Rather include some nice 1v1 one. Suggestions? Links? Remeber new players JOIN games they don't host them. What maps are being played the most? Right now in the lobby I can see a game for "speedmetal" and "speedmetalduo v2". Ok so some...

one point, you should make two con vehicles, so that one can start reclaiming the commander while it self d's to take advantage of the bug where if you are reclaiming and an outside force destroys the unit in question you will get that metal and can reclaim the corpse I am really against the use of...

Agreed, what about a nice 1v1 map like small divide or mars or one of Quanto's. You mean the maps that come with Spring by default? Probable don't need to get new players to download those. How about ALL of quanto's maps. Every new player should start off playing those maps and Comet. Sounds great!...
