Spring RTS Engine

FYI I have improved the support for Spring: 1944 in SPADS installer: the installer is now able to download the latest test version of Spring: 1944 automatically (previously it was only able to download the stable version automatically). It is now also able to download all Spring: 1944 specific maps ...

Here it is: [opc@multis spads]$ pwd; ls -lZ 7z* /home/opc/spads lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 8 Mar 2 22:17 7za -> 7za-16.2 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 1992876 Mar 2 22:17 7za-16.2 Thanks. Well actually I see nothing suspicious here ap...

Sure thing: [opc@multis spads]$ sudo whoami; ls -l 7z* root lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 8 Mar 2 22:17 7za -> 7za-16.2 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1992876 Mar 2 22:17 7za-16.2 Ok so SELinux is very likely the culprit here. I suspect SELinux considers the SPADS installation directory as unsafe and prevents e...

Yes, indeed, there and in BAR's wiki subsection as well https://github.com/Yaribz/SPADS/wiki/Beyond-All-Reason-LAN-server-quick-install-guide-(Linux) Afaik the engine binaries used by BAR don't require glibc 2.29, so if you followed the BAR guide for a full automatic SPADS installation you shouldn'...

Obtaining the perl modules, had to use cpan cause it wouldn't get them all with dnf Did you follow the installation procedure detailed here ? Out of curiosity I tried to reproduce your problem with Oracle Linux 8, and I found that only the FFI::Platypus module had to be installed using cpan. Here a...

Hi, I went through most of the hurdles Can you detail the hurdles you encountered ? I re-tested SPADS installer right now and I was able to install a fully functional SPADS instance from scratch in less than one minute on a Linux 64-bit server. installer failed to get and extract spring-105.0 What e...

What exactly happened when you tried the normal way ? (i.e. "sudo apt install libio-socket-ssl-perl")

springLobbyLanSrv is a fully autonomous Spring lobby server running in LAN mode (no account management, passwords are ignored). Its main purpose was to ease non-regression and lobby protocol compliance tests for SPADS, and I've been using it for a while for that. However, I guess it could be useful...

New SPADS plugin available: LanServer - implements a lobby server running in LAN mode (allows SPADS to operate autonomously) This plugin makes it possible to run a SPADS instance connecting to its own lobby server (implemented by the plugin), thus allowing you to run a fully autonomous game server f...

I followed the instructions to update from 0.12.x to 0.13.9. They worked except point 4. Spads wouldn't start after removing the extra ":" from users.conf : 20230416164545 - ERROR - [SPADS] Unable to parse fields in following configuration data "|140" 20230416164545 - ERROR - [S...

No, the only placeholders available for the "promteMsg" global setting are the ones described in the documentation.
But I just added %P, %S and %U as requested in SPADS 0.13.6 (cf promoteMsg global setting documentation).

As new features get added to SPADS installer, new settings must be added to the "spadsInstaller.auto" file to perform full automatic installations. Instead of updating this post to add the exact list of settings required currently, I decided to make the installer automatically generate a f...

New major SPADS version (0.13.*) is now available in "unstable" release. "Major version" means it requires manual actions such as updating config files, that's why SPADS will not update automatically. Instead, it will log a message explaining how to proceed and will point you to...

SPADS should work just fine on arm64, as long as you manage to get a version of the engine built for this architecture.

New SPADS plugin available: ClientStatusEvents - extends the plugin API with new event-based callbacks on client status changes This plugin can be very useful if you need to detect specific client status changes in your plugins, because it does all the hard job of comparing the previous and new clie...

I've updated spads to 0.12.39, but it doesn't seem to have fixed the issue. It didn't work for any of the games you listed above. Not sure exactly how you are testing it, but I tested the plugin you provided here without any modification except renaming the file to .pm, and it worked as expected on...

Your plugin should now work as expected with SPADS >= 0.12.39

Just took a look at your plugin, it's because you are actually calling Spring cheat commands directly and not through SPADS commands.
I will fix SPADS so that it correctly handles this case also.

No you shouldn't need to let it on some time. I will take a look in a few days when I'm back home.

I've wrote a simple plugin for it and it's apparently workin Of course it works, and it is quite simple (finally you believe me ;) ) I strongly recommend using plugins instead of directly modifying SPADS core, otherwise you have to disable auto-update to keep your modifications. However, as I said,...
