... I count 5, when I also take into account the pulling up old threads (admittedly just from last year, but still... They were unused)...

Mate, I think posting it in EVERY FORUM is a bit much...

Perhaps just the one would have been enough?

what about if it just looked for the string in the movement class
so "tank" would still find "tank heavy"
but "heavy tank" would find "heavy tank blahblahblah"

so it's a similar way of working, just gives more flexibility

if you know some C++ you could look at the source? or learn enough to know what you're looking at atleast...

seems the best way, to me

Though Spring decompiles the texture like everytime you play the map *hint* And where are those images located at? Just in the RAM? And how i can access that? o_O Couldnt find anything in the spring folders. look in the source files and find where it does it? :P it'd save it in video memory i'd thi...

having the team-colour changing to some other colour could be a good way of distinguishing alive- and not-alive tanks

is there a plan to change that image then? so it has a new goal on it?

i dunno what to... but im sure someone can think of something!

guess again, it's been detonated... so half the earth wasn't destroyed

ah, right... my bad :)

didn't notice that

even cooler now that i get it!...

is there any reason for the number above the image? because wont the mouse always be showing only 1 unit?

other than that... cool :)

Hey, Depending on the mod you're playing, the units will be different (Spring is the name of the engine, the Mod's are technically seperate from it). If you just got it, presuming you havn't downloaded anything else, you will be playing XTA. This is an TA-based mod, but with some fundamental changes...

Is there any way that we can play if we're on a LAN connection but we don't have access to the internet? This wasn't taught in the wiki, maybe some kind of command line? PS: cup: that comment was aimed at an idiot called FriedChicken. I'm in love with Trademark, so...yeah... you might be able to do...

Thanks Kloot... It all makes sense after you know the answer...

and AF, yeah, I did think about doing it like that... but I rather it as a 2 dimensional array (for no particular reason, just personal preference)

cool!

so, can we make the damage come when the shockwave reaches it? and blow units away? (at where the shockwave is and not inside it)

Hey, I keep getting SIGBUS errors when trying to access this variable outside it's initalising function, and have been for a while... Not sure why... Can anyone help? class square { public: int unit; int terrain; bool path; }; square** squares; void makesquares() { square** squares = new square*[x];...

couldn't you just have a user-set modifier amount that is modifying a mod-set screen shake amount?

with fall-off over distance of course :)

umm... i think, if you're working on a mod, you can work however you want :-) dds is good for textures, and obj/3ds can be converted into s3o for use in-game low-poly is better textures are usually 256x256, 512x512, or 1024x1024 (smaller is better) specifics would be dependant on the mod that you're...

that is text in the sky, right?

what does it say?

so cool :)

you could set start position squares with Shift+Click (i think) and do 'choose in game' the bots will start in the top left of the areas you give them, and you will start wherever you choose within the area that's been my experience atleast (note: this was in the clients help menu :P ) EDIT: oh, btw...

apart from a review becoming the main description, i like it

the main description should always be by the maker i think, even if it contains no information
you could still see the user reviews if the main one had no info, so that's not a problem
