Spring RTS Engine

no windows portable archive?

there hasn't been a functioning chicken game since the last release, maybe for 50% of the players the chickens won't even spawn (desync)

this is fixed in master:
http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=1687

Summary: loads units with cheat give command have not tested in multiplayer, in theory it should work ----------- Save (Shift+F8) Best when used as a spectator, anything covered by the fog of war will not be saved. Old save will be destroyed and replaced by new save. Data will be saved to file "...

fix idea:

host gives each client a random number via lobby server,

when the client connects to the host the client sends the random number instead of the name/id to communicate its identity.

note: he edited his post to include the sync error

an example of doing hacky FPS in a RTS game: warcraft 3 custom map, something like "bomber command", camera was mounted behind plane, you would always go forward, keys to move, keys to change elevation, key to drop bombs, key to fire rockets straight ahead, two teams bombing each others ba...

depreciation message would prevent confusion like this: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16713
"Multi-player cheating disabled, now how do I place AI units?"

re: player numbers -> player names

large random numbers? (block exploiters pretending to be someone else)

a simple cmd that displays the version string of everyone connected. the loading screen already shows the specific version i'm using 0.77b5+svn6886, so i'm guessing there shouldn't be much effort required to make this a reality. the problem i see right now: sync errors / crashes etc potentially bein...

spring_0.77b5+svn6886.exe

on each startup

where do the discussions concerning releases take place, not the stuff in the developers forum, but discussions like "lets do a release today" "i need testers" "i'm packaging it right now"

+1, the lobby clients / autohosts will for ever taint the sync purity with the current system. myPlayerNum, i'd rather see a large private random number sent through the lobby server(from host to client on battle join) * lessens damage caused by wrong number (blame can be pinned on a single person /...

bug: often right clicking on a tab will close the wrong one, no matter how careful i am, even when i select it with left click and then right click it.

idea:
mark a few files as being definitely bad,
if these bad files get registered by Mr.X discard everything else that user has/will register.

re: first post Current version available at spring.jobjol.nl . (there is a link in there ^, colors are different in bbcode quote) fails to work gfind/gmatch errors r73 If the updater doesn't work for you or you don't want to use it, you can always get the latest version from http://tinyurl.com/yqtpu...

when we talk about this unique id, we're not talking about the unique id that the client sends to the server on connect right?

still not working
edit: and 30 min later "Updating to latest mod version: Complete Annihilation test-3052"

also, some fun i'm having: added channel listeners to the setlevel command, put all 4 bots into #springie, i can issue global set levels without the copy+paste

AutoUpdateMod: Complete Annihilation test

3052 is latest but its still on 3051, even after rehost + restart

re: uniqueId,
if backwards compatibility is a deterrence, how about a new command/query to fetch it instead.
if you are worried about lobby clients implementing this hack and later wanting to remove/change it, require the bot flag to cut down on the failure.
