Re: Drawing from Lua could be better in Spring-106

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...

Re: Engine fork and Ingame Community

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...

Springfiles map upload: missing python module PIL

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...

Re: Re: relicensing gpl widgets

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?

Excellent player numbers, thank you to everyone who made this possible!

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...

Re: Any teams interested allowing someone on to learn SpringRTS?

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 Its outdated by a decade.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.

Re: Automatically reloading GLSL shaders when coding widgets

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.

Automatically reloading GLSL shaders when coding widgets

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...

Unsynced Lua AI

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...
