Spring RTS Engine

there is also ufo: alien invasion, a open source "remake" (same concept, but different execution) of the first xcom, still in dev and ufo 2000, open source too, it (right now only) lets you choose a team for tactical fight and fight online, this one looks and feels just like xcom1 i think ...

freecraft was a similar project and got a c&d letter from blizzard

Do any of you remember Battle Isle or BI2? It's a lot more interesting than AW1/AW2 to me, mainly because I prefer the scifi theme. It should all be doable with an exception of trains. theres are open source games similar to bi, like advanced strategic command, crimson fields or even battle for wes...

2+3=5 :OO

that radar implementation is one of the reasons i hate c&c, being blind is not enough, they disable the minimap too ><

but not just firing to the skies, we need dancing peewees and krogs too

what do we need to get started into undestanding how the system works now? the springs source code? is there documentation available about it?

my knowledge is very limited, but its more than nothing

Socialism sucks because it has a idealistic view on humans, which is simply not true. Facism sucks because it has a idealistic view on the current leadership. In the Middle lies Truth and shortseeing Liberty ;) in the middle of what? its fun to see a society obsesed with speed and eficency ruled wi...

hmm, if you push a bullet with enough force to send it flying at such speeds, arent you supossed to recieve as much force as recoil? even if your are 1000 times heavier than the bullet, it should have enough recoil to send the gun flying in the other direction, along with your arms and probably your...

what about fire only buildings? that way slow arty would not attack faster units, that endes up in my own troops being attacked by accident

attack units who can fire back

attack not paralyzed units only + attack units not targeted by other unit in group

etc

i guess he means ufo: extraterrestrials, that is not supossed to be related to the aftersomething series ive seen the trailers, it looks like an aftersomething with the story and background of the original ufo these new games dont catch the atmosphere ufo: enemy unknown had, they are just dry tactic...

Mass Extraction - Wormholeconquering... etc.. Even if it is just a OneWay Ride to the Surface of the Blackhole it could be worth it :) scifi needs some sense to be fun, otherwise is just an excuse to write cheesy scripts so, what if we build an antimatter cannon and shoot a round at a black hole? w...

wouldnt it be better to do an real (novel-based) dune mod instead of copying an existing copyrighted blasphem... non-novel-based game? it would be nice, and more legal, to have a fremen/atreides faction: stealthy and resistance, lack equipment aside from some stolen topters and the shai-hulud corrin...

black holes are yet to be fully understood by science, still i dont think that planting a flag on one would be of any use


creating miniblackholes for purely destructive purposes, on the other hand...


we could use a gun that engulfs peewees and then explodes in a hell of light and energy

it would be nice that units would be aware of their formation and keep it while moving, etc

rts are usually clickfests, luckily springs automation is much better than other rtss

large comunnity with ignore button


but getting lots of people into the project should not be a priority, an appealing project makes people come, try and leave, a good, solid game makes people stay

apt (and emerge, yum, etc) erase older packages prior to installing a new version, the way you did is just good for getting the problems you got i dont know about ubuntu, but python is not a critical package, it should not cause such problems to erase it, get a better distr...... must not flame, mus...

if ratings are wrong then a ladder is wrong ratings will make easier find people at (about) you skill level so that you can enjoy spring more using ranks aganist other people is not a problem with rating but with people, and we surely have that people already the good thing with elo is that, instead...

yet another rating discussion topic


the rating system can be changed later, it would be nice to have the ladder running first
