Spring RTS Engine

Funny coincidence, I also run ubuntu 10.10 and updated to spring 0.83... I have the spring repositories listed in my ubuntu software update, so when spring 0.83 became available it was installed with all my other updates. I didn't know it wasn't 'live' yet... how was I to know? :( I'll just play som...

My ATI Radeon HD 3850 (on AGP) was having crash problems with the latest Spring. CA crashed the most reliably. I updated to the latest ATI driver (quite an achievement, it turns out) and now it runs.

The latest version of the Spring front-end is a huge improvement over the version I started on (summer 2007), and the game feels more like a commercial release.

I think that setup would be a good start for a realistic airbase/carrier. You could set up helper AI/LUA trickery to manage airbases: the airbase 'unloads' its units whe...

I agree with the click+drag idea. If it's easy, quick, and intuitive, it'll be more successful. We could proceed as if to tell our cons to reclaim in an area, but start the command on a windmill, and it would reclaim all windmills in the designated area.
I've tried to do that so many times...

I actually have played Perimeter... it was an odd game.

Would it be realistic to implement a terraforming tool in Spring? I know Spring supports ground deformation both through explosions and via limited ground-leveling to place structures. Something as simple as trenches for classic WWI-style warfare could be a neat feature. However, adding a trench to ...
