Spring RTS Engine

I got your msg.
Yes, i've talked with sulbon about argh's translation at that time.
it is very accurate. good work.
well, sulbon has disappeared in taclub forum for more than one year... this project is actually suspended currently.

:-) i spent about an hour and completed the simp-Chinese version of SpringSP0.9. Thanks to the sourcecode provided in UF. :lol: and i've found several bugs or missing codes inside the source files, which will cause some problems in Replay section. i have uploaded it to the biggest TA forum in China....

I use RAI in NOTA games and those AIs only like to build hovercrafts but no ships... I wonder if I can switch to "Commander Start" mode to make it happen?

again, use blurred/smooth map and this will solve the problem. create a smooth map of an existing map (thus this can be optional) and use this map to deal with your camera control. although analyzing the old maps will be difficult and time-consuming... and plus, this can also be used to deal with th...

yup, my original aim is to make AWACS not be able to scan for ground targets but those recon planes (fink for example) can because they are equiped with optical cameras/infrared cameras or something like that. so maybe we need to deploy multiple types of radar in an area. including ground-radar(alth...

and maybe neutral buildings like adv. fusion reactors, adv.mex in the field for players to capture?

Can radar have their types so that one type of radar can only scan for ground/airborne/etc targets?

This can make AWACS/radar more realistic and not overpowered.

Why not just consider subs as aircrafts in water? they can go under the ships, they can go above/under each other too.
of course, water has its depth and ... maybe there should be some limitation so that only a certain amount of subs can be in the same (x,y) position?

I hate whatever smoothing function you are using. Your relative maximum has been given far too little weight. It is much better to overestimate altitude, to insure no hill crashes. Try a gaussian filter like I have attached, and perhaps it could be applied at only maxima (and minima) determined by ...

Actually, i may use it frequently when im watching a replay. At least, this can improve graphic in some extent and may be good for publicization?

looks likethe bloom effect "may" be good. but... can it be a widget to switch on/off? then it would be convenient and if one with a poor computer has bad performance and low fps, he could switch it off easily at any time.

Maybe we can prepare another height map which has been *blurred* from the exact height map and then added a certain amount. (some tool may needed to generate the smoothed height map.) Thus peaks in maps will be hills which increase its altitude gradually, and vice versa. edit: here the "blur&qu...

maybe the wreckages should be generated when aircrafts fall down(not explode into fragment). if they explode, nothing left.

by adjusting the frequency that planes are shot down but not disintegrated can we adjust the profit the defender could gain after the combat.

smoth wrote:bad idea, been shot down many times, learn to use the damn search feature rather then debated a feature which has been turned down MANY MANY times.

MANY times?
alright. let it be only a dream...

i donno how pathfinding work. that maybe the hardest obstacle... :( but range calculation would not be a big problem. by using the functions below: vector2f parseVectorWrapped(x1,y1,x2,y2,map_w,map_h) { codes are like those above in my reply... } float calcDistance(dx,dy) {return sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);}...

well maybe wrapping edges of map is not as difficult as we thought... like in The Settlers, the map is wrapped both vertically and horizontally, if spring could support this kind of map settings (usually this should be for those epic big maps), game will be quite interesting. :mrgreen: and aircrafts...

Anyway, chaime has solved that weird problem.
the reason is ... that font library...
he created a new font library and now the Chinese version of Spring 0.76b1 is almost completed.
widgets translating procedure is underway...

I'm a friend of chaime and I know the problem in details. He tried to analyze the error and found that something goes wrong when the spring program came to deal with the win_lpCmdLine part, ie startup options. system\main.cpp line: 470 approximately string cmdLineStr = win_lpCmdLine; here is where i...

Correct. You can try to use your Bombers to destroy aircrafts, especially cons aircrafts because they hover in a small area. Bombers have a higher flying altitude and their bombs can hit anything on their way.

I've once found a script which can automatically build bombers and gather them at a place which you have set, and when the number of bombers reaches a certain number, they will bomb a certain target or position. But the website that published it seems to have removed that Lua script and I could find...
