Spring RTS Engine

In practice is has worked quite well for us in the past 15 years.

Im am honored that you are following BAR development so closely. Next time in your digging also scroll down a little bit too.

My previous post stands.

BAR and BAR105 are not under MS CLA.

Split topic regarding engine fork to viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49691

I admire the effort you are undertaking here, CommanderSpice. I have looked at the Spring.Draw engine PR, and if I'm not mistaken, then it looks like a vertex array-based wrapper for what could have been done through Lua, but now its faster because its running natively in the engine. While this appr...

Splitting this off from the tournament frontpage post. Abma, I understand that renaming the fork to Coil saddens you, however it is only planned in preparation to ease the differentiation between 105, 106 and BAR105. Please clarify your stance up front of how you expect games using such a fork of th...

Very cool, i have too many test versions of maps on sf anyway :D

Thank you for the quick fix!

It is probable that the last security update that happened removed the PIL library (as it has been considered deprecated for a while). Instead, the fork of PIL called Pillow can be used as a drop in, mostly compatible replacement. This is prevent maps from being uploaded to springfiles at the moment...

Untitled1.png Observant readers might ask why would the person who held the BA github hostage for 3 years be making strangely specific gpl licensing posts and then lock them so no one can reply? The answer is to retroactively and forthrightly claim to have publicly permitted relicensing of widgets ...

Quite often the pivot is inside geometry, can one use the mouse or absolute numbers to set origin?

Very cool, I have just one question: how do I change the origins of a piece?

I would personally like to thank everyone, past and present engine developers, game developers, infrastructure developers, testers, players, and anyone who contributed since the inception of Spring, for making this possible. After a good weekend, we are hitting player numbers that we have not seen b...

The best way to learn SpringRTS is to hang out in the Discord servers of games using the engine. The wiki is extremely useful, but not nearly as much as seeing the engine put to use in a game.

1. I don't want to host OTA content.
2. Its outdated by a decade.
3. Regenerate up-to-date version and host your own. The code to do so is available on this forum.

Ok, that is honestly much better than what I'm doing, with major difference that mine doesnt reload the widget, _only_ the shader code, and it only replaces the existing shader if the compilation succeeded.

Version 4.0 is out, with up to 10x improvement in speed! - Multithreaded compilation is now super fast (windows only) - Add mapnormals, splatdistribution, and specular map dds compressors via nvtt_export.exe in a separate process (windows only) - Also generate minimap preview jpg, and thumbnail png ...

Wouldnt it be nice if a widget would automatically detect changes to the code of a widget, recompile it and apply it upon success? This code checks the shader sources every 0.25s, and tries to recompile it. So you can have Spring open in one window, your editor in the next, and just have to hit save...

I think that there may be an advantage running a Lua AI on the unsynced side, so that in theory, only one person's CPU has to do calculations, and could maybe even leverage compute shaders. This obviously comes at the cost of having to send commands over the network. Im wondering what kind of API or...

Ah yes, pandaro is right, that is the correct way :)
