Just installed spring .74B3 from the full installer, but the lobby gives me this: [18:06:52] Connecting to taspringmaster.clan-sy.com ...

holy toast!

Now, is the Eternal Silence folder in the community pack ACTUALLY empty, or is it just my download which has implausably not included ES?

...or have I missed something?

Ok, im trying to make a few simple greenfields-alike variations for a second map/s, so it is basically going to be a big repeated texture, 16 x 16. My first map was Metalwall, which was all I could manage with gimp, the texture of which consisted entirely of a poorly tiled 64x squares. (kill me? you...

No, not at mapping altogether. But mapping without photoshop. I have tried numerous picture editors, GIMP, paint.net, Fireworks (*cough*), and all have been unsuitable for my needs (for instance, crashing, seeing anything above "6000 x 6000" and collapsing into a pile of gory limbs, taking...

We had to try a few different port numbers, but 9200 worked.

thanks :)

Me and a friend are attempting to run spring on his desktop computer, but it kept freezing and forcing a restart. Running it in windowed mode, we get this:

SHUTDOWN ERROR

Error binding socket as server

anyone got any ideas? this is driving me up the wall

According to TA storyline, there are no orbital stations or ships, settlements, command outposts, etc left. Just a comander(s?) who gets sent alone through galactic gates to take over planets.

ITS YOU

...but does the story count in spring?

Now there is a good idea. When I eventually get SupCom, i'll be:

[Spring] Cabbs


And hasn't SupCom been billed as the 'spiritual successor' by practically everyone?

well bugger it, I dont research stuff past whichever unaffiliated website that i have a vague impression of trustworthiness for.

Hit sony's weakpoint for MASSIVE DAMAGE

Freespace 2 needs a PC sequel.

nothing more to be said.

UT2004 has caseless rounds as a secondary mode on the chaingun, but i cant remember how loud the explosions were...

BF2 carrier minigun thing had good explosive sounds, but im not sure they would be as effective when toned down.

Stadium Arcadium

As TA related as a deck chair, but good nonetheless.

if I remember correctly, spring used to be a good 55/60 Mb big? im sure it was. With FF (15 Mb ish) included with the latest, it would barely be 55 Mb big. In any case, wouldn't there be several different versions of the latest available to download anyway? i.e. basic no mods, XTA, XTA/AA, XTA/AA/FF...

damn maps folder, i messed with 7Zip for a good hour trying to work it out, i'll just have to read instructions more carefully in future.

Thanks alot

Am now getting into the mapping side of things, and knocking up a crappy metal map to get the basics out of the way. After messing around/abandoning Macromedia Fireworks, and compiling trillions of times, the compression is the only problem. The .SMD/.SMF/.SMT are compressed into a .sd7 by 7Zip, no ...

a quick search turns up squat, so hopefully this isnt just part of the topic rotation. A game yesterday reminded me that not everyone had super-broadband, or lives within realistic flying distance of the servers, so downloading maps can be a pain. Would it be possible on the map list in the Battle W...
