Spring RTS Engine

Some tips: Keep each bug report ticket/thread focused on a single topic. Make new topics for distinct bugs. The reader should only need to look at the OP to know what the thread is about. Err on the side of supplying too much information. Bug reports are frustrating when you need to tease out every ...

Can you explain the discrepancy with the previous profiler? For example, yours says that priority is around 1% while the previous profiler says 2.7%.

'/reloadcegs' reloads all the CEG particle effects.

To do '/luarules reload' you need to first do '/cheat' because this command would easily break a multiplayer game.

Can you attach a game with 3k unit that you think ran well so I can look at it for profiling?

These cliffs are too bright when they are inside LOS.

The metal in the center could be improved as it is currently just a uniformly distributed spread of spots. There are no mex spot textures so I could mess with this myself.

The group name is probably a UnitRulesParam, I don't know much more though.

The visuals are only half the solution. How are you going to prevent players from probing the default UI to explore the black area? Things like waypoint location, structure blueprint placement and camera hight will reveal the terrain. This may all be solvable by initializing the unsynced heightmap t...

To get the same zoom behaviour as other games you need to set ScrollWheelSpeed negative in springsettings.cfg. I have 'ScrollWheelSpeed = -25'. A warning, for Zero-K you do not need to make this change as it comes with good defaults and a settings menu. Touching a config file manually might break so...

This is in the engine now and works.

Maybe this does what you want https://github.com/spring/spring/commit ... fa5f56d9ee.

Your method looks reasonable. Are you effectively just making your weapons call AimWeapon at a high rate? It feels like this should be a parameter in the weapondef if you are going to go to this much effort to hack around it. An alternate solution would be to use Spring.GetUnitWeaponTarget and Sprin...

This is how the ZK menu deals with button clicks (or key presses for hotkeys). https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/master/LuaUI/Widgets/gui_chili_integral_menu.lua#L555-L590 It handles factory queues and terraform. What you want should be this cut down version: local function ClickFunc(mouse, c...

NeOmega I feel like you would benefit from giving the Zero-K campaign a look (just run this http://zero-k.info/Wiki/Download). This is what gajop means when they say "use LuaMenu". The Zero-K campaign runs in a single instance of Spring and has a mission selection screen (or strategic map) from whic...

You may want to poke around the Zero-K codebase as well: https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K. I have pushed the engine further than BA so you should find some more mechanics and examples. 1). 32 unit classes (mostly for targetting AI) Unsure and unclear. I believe that unit categories are only relev...

I told you how to run the tutorial game when you asked in ZK a week ago but the chat seemed to be lost or ignored. Here is a more permanent wiki page which should get anyone from a basic ZK install to a working tutorial game. Edit: http://zero-k.info/mediawiki/index.php?title=Developing#Using_Zero-K...

I agree regarding underwater shadows.

Two of Anarchid's factory remodels are finally done.

Here are my thoughts on the branch: https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/issues/2547. On testing - I think testing carried out by a small pool of testers is ineffective. This reflects well on the stability of the engine. In the months leading up to 104.0 almost all the bugs were either rare or hardwa...

Spring has quite a few useful systems which are needed by a turn based strategy game. It is worth using Spring for the netcode, unit selection and command handling. You may even use the weapon/projectile aiming system for graphics purposes. If you wanted a more physicsy game you could even use Sprin...

Raw move is looking quite good. I like how it is resilient by switching back and forth between raw mode depending on the path-ability as it updates. My main request is that the raw move distance be increased as currently units will move in straight lines for short distances but still take inefficien...
