Re: cmake cannot find boost version 1.69.0

I used git in the terminal to get the latest stable branch
CMakeLists.txt:254
You are trying to build 104.0 from master (where CMakeLists.txt still includes

Code: Select all

FIND_PACKAGE(Boost ...)
), which is probably not the version you want. Do a checkout of maintenance instead.

The modern info-texture (metal/los/etc) shader overlay system requires GL3, you voided your warranty.

Re: Total Continuity

Re: Mars Total Warfare - Spring similarities

Did anything come of the talk of violation flagging? I think the engine devs have the strongest case since http://total-warfare.com/cont/ likely includes everything from a spring game. It is being worked on, we have hard evidence now that the MARSTW executable is based on a fork of Spring engine co...

Re: RIP BA

Allowing ... 103 wasn't hurting anyone. It was hurting engine development. If said development ends (why would anyone want to contribute when all they see getting airtime is some old engine from N years ago?), the only reasonable expected outcome is that Spring's server will be unceremoniously shut...

Re: [misc] enforcment of spring >= 104.0 for autohosts with botflag

How some of your clients have the power to go into the office of other clients of yours and ban their customers or destroy the office itself? The BA9/PA offices were actually unoccupied, which brings me back to point 1) of https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=590653#p590653. The only reason ...

No, game developers (which BA9 and PA do not have) are our "clients". Players are theirs.

Re: [misc] enforcment of spring >= 104.0 for autohosts with botflag

Is this "let's ban old engines" a one time thing or do the devs plan to do it regularly from now on? It may not be a regular thing, but we reserve the right. If, for example, good boy Mando the samaritan martyr finds and abuses any exploits in 104(+), as he did with 103, that would count ...

Re: Noticed things

Ok, so maintainance releases are based on arbitrary commits. So release 24523 is in no way more stable than release 23435. As a game developer your only chance is to just try some engines and stick to the one that runs best for you. If you update the engine then you have the chance to get some bugf...

I expected that an engine version 104.0 would be compatible with another engine version 104.x You seem to either have attached too much value to version numbers or be dreadfully confused about what the various 104.0.1-123-gabcdef builds actually are, so allow me to clear up some details.

Re: MapConv(NG) for Windows crash on big map sizes

JFYI, a barebones 64x64 map requires at least 8GB of RAM just for the heightmap (the engine converts it to floats, and also maintains an unsynced copy) so you can probably forget about loading one of those up.

Re: When can we talk about spring's loading problems (On Windows)?

Do you disagree with the hypothesis that ignoring .git would produce significant improvements (on windows)? The underlying problem is that doing development inside an .sdd thrashes the OS disk cache, git (as opposed to no VCS) just makes it worse. Do you disagree with my assertion that it seems to ...

Re: When can we talk about spring's loading problems (On Windows)?

It seems to me you have already forgotten that the solution is *not* as easy as igoring .git folders.

What more information do you need to understand the issue other than "this ain't a Linux vs Windows deal"?
