Spring RTS Engine

Since it is possible to make a BeamLaser invisible, what is the purpose of Rifle? If the difference is just in particle creation then it sounds more maintainable to make tags that prevent the creation of the particles and projectile.

I think you're requesting a weapon that instantly damages a target in range regardless of raytracing checks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitscan A hitscan in computer games, most commonly in first person shooters, is where the programming system determines where the gun/ object is pointing, casts...

Technically the only difference between spring and any other engine is that we don't really have a hitscan weapon that is worth a crap, but an invisible laser or cannon projectile that is super close range with say 10k velocity is effectively hitscan. As a result, there never has been much of a pus...

What is the map and location in the video?

I hate the click-to-move, click-to-attack, wait-for-timer to spellcast controls of MOBA, but the main idea of controlling a powerful hero amongst warring streams of minions appeals to me I doubt Spring has enough of a focus on low latency to support a clicky MOBA anyway. Something like War Evo in w...

I think what you want exists in Zero-K. I don't quite know why your behaviour is different. Start copying it in bit-by-bit and find out.

I'm a core Zero-K developer, which as far as I can tell is the most active released game at this point in time. It sounds like an interesting event, but I am in Australia and don't see myself going to Brussels any time soon. What are your relevant dates? The Fosdem website says that we are quite clo...

It looked like you wanted all terrain. Anyway, what happens if you replace your movedef? Perhaps upright=true in the unitdef is causing this behaviour.

If I understand correctly, your issue is that units move at a higher 3D velocity when moving down steep hills? You should post your movedef. The movedefs in Zero-K seem to implement what you want. I have not looked into why they work, but I suspect it is to do with slopemode = 70. Here is a link: ht...

The email was stopped by spam filtering.

I am trying to reset my springfiles password. I entered my email into this field yet did not receive an email: https://springfiles.com/user/password

I know that this email is in use because I tried to register an account with it.

I like it, it looks very slick and polished. I only question using the ZK emp sound to indicate that a construction has started as I don't think that sound fits.

Did anything come of the talk of violation flagging? I think the engine devs have the strongest case since http://total-warfare.com/cont/ likely includes everything from a spring game.

I don't know how well BA is packaged. It may include the widget but have it disabled by default. Maybe the widget was enabled by default and subsequently broke. Maybe the widget has never been in the game and was always added by people running it locally. The area mex widget appears to be in BAR (an...

You can say "still no acceptable explanation for the decision has been given" all you want, but the fact remains that no serious engagement with any of the explanations has been given , especially in light of all the posts saying that the question itself is incoherent. It just sounds like you've eva...

I still haven't hear a single rational argument for why this ban should remain in place. Some people seems like they're bending over backwards to make excuses for it. It wasn't hurting anyone and the BA community was better off on the official server, before someone handed BA to Mando on a silver p...

I am still waiting for anyone to give evidence for how/why it benefits anyone (except the engine devs) to force these restrictions on the user-base. You spent many posts asking how the restriction was intended to help BA players, or the community, or whoever, but then concede that the restriction i...

And here I was thinking that artists would become obsolete after programmers.

Interesting.

You don't need to look at editing or extending the Spring engine for these features. Instead, you would implement these things as lua scripts in your game. https://springrts.com/wiki/Lua:Main https://springrts.com/wiki/Lua_SyncedCtrl I disagree with Forboding Angel on points 1 and 2. You want a smoo...
