Re: New missile movement type.

Learn what you are taking about before typing plox. I already noticed that post what I quoted was not for original post. But you should not be so negative right away! Just check out the post itself and maybe you understand as well the possibility for mistake. The suggestion was to do it via script....

Re: New missile movement type.

That wouldn't work terribly well, if the unit turns while launching that it looks silly, if the unit gets killed it doesn't fire and if the unit decides not to shoot for some reason the dropped missile just disappears. So the real life looks silly and does not work so well? The missiles, as any of ...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

It is psychology as well, what terrain you can not see, you do not think it same way as you would see it. Even how familiar the terrain would be. You underestimate how much time some of us have spent playing on some maps D: No, I think I overestimate because I am counting it as thousands of hours.....

Re: Spring / game feature status?

Your arguments for FOW adding strategy in multiplayer have no basis in reality. Well, then many RTS games just has not implented it for strategy element for multiplayer games, including the Supreme Commander (what I just got yesterday). It just is a stratetic element what sets player to focus to su...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

Who/where could actually use this kind smooth FOW/LOS feature? * Singleplayer games * Random generated maps * Players with new/random maps * Players with random location -enabled * Players who are normal living people who do not memorize every pixel on the map (take it as a joke!) * Players who want...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

That was quite a long post. Argh better respond quickly or risk losing his title of "long postmaster extraordinaire". You have stated that the current LOS display is ugly. I agree it is a little ugly but I would not like a better looking LOS display at the cost of less (or less accurate) ...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

Obviously if you change micro you change strategies too. But it mostly just promotes map memorization, which kinda sucks. How many currently remembers correctly where are every metal spot, every hill, shore and the routes, even on the maps what they play daily? It is very easy to plan something for...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

What is not addressed is your desire for unscouted areas are all black. This is a bad idea. It's only good if the map is randomly generated (a possible future feature) so that no player knows what the map looks like before playing. But right now, players DO know what the map looks like before playi...

It might help you if you knew what we are hearing you say: "Hi, I'm smarter then all of you and you should do a whole bunch of work so that my awesome ideas can be implemented in your engine because it sucks and will continue to suck if you don't." If I am suggesting different approaches ...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

Fri the real problem with something like the standard fog of war is how do you render it for the multiple camera angles? Same way as on other 3D games that stuff what is front of you, does not get drawn. If the FOW would be a new layer top of the map and have a smooth edges and you do not draw the ...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

Fri13, are you suggesting these things for an existing game or are you looking for feature support so you can design your own game? Just asking does Spring support such thing so game developers could start using them. I believe there are many who would like to see such feature to be implented. If w...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

Hrmyeah, now I recall that the actual los calculation regarding which units are in view is updated often, while the los visualisation much less often. But the point about how it's done to not eat too much CPU still stands! :P Well maybe for you. But many others has done it well, even with 3D engine...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

The llt is really in the los of the fighter, but the visualization is trailing far behind. Yes the current LOS lags and does not even show the LOS because of that. So the LOS function is in such state that it is not usable. And why it must be somekind colored areas to make the game look ugly? Thats...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

I Personally don't want the black thing that completely covers the map but I can see how others might be interested in playing like this. There are many who do not like about the Fog of War (FOW) because it makes them so uncertaing about surrounding. That it's point ;) When you get to area what is ...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

If your into nitpicking, then how would you indicate previously scouted but no current los or radar coverage? The gray area. Is that not so obvious? You have black mask for areas where you have never been and seen it visually. Just like many other RTS games has had it in history. You have gray mask...

Re: Spring / game feature status?

Do you realize that it's not smooth when moving only because it's precise? The los in Spring aren't just disks, they are affected by hills, and so calculating where a team can see is an expensive calculation. It can't be done every frame or else Spring would require computers from the future. Havin...
