Spring RTS Engine

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,...

TS should actually just be seen as a part of the balancing algorithm. It totally makes sense to prefer hiding the skill values used by the balance algorithm so that players don't think they are in a competitive environment as you said, but then you must hide them from everywhere (all autohosts etc.)...

No idea why, but in Ubuntu (recently upgraded to 21.04) neither apt-get nor cpan was able to build the required IO::Socket::SSL. That's strange, apt-get shouldn't even need to build anything, it should just download and install Perl modules and associated pre-compiled binaries for your distribution...

It seems only the notAvault103 host is using an obsolete version of SPADS (from 2016), which doesn't support TLS. Other hosts aren't using TLS because I guess they are missing the IO::Socket:SSL Perl module (required by SPADS to enable TLS). For the record, instructions to install the IO::Socket::SS...

The workarounds for lobby protocol limitations (team and ID numbers being limited to 16) have been improved in SPADS >= 0.12.32, which means the maximum number of teams and IDs allowed by the engine are now supported (250). Previously only the IDs numbers could go above 16, and only if the idShareMo...

New SPADS plugin available:

CustomTeamColors - makes it possible to customize the team colors applied by SPADS

Congrats to Beherith for deploying and using the ClusterManager plugin since a few weeks with great success for BAR :-) https://springrts.com/phpbb/download/file.php?id=11230 For the 18 instances [teh]cluster[XX] you can see on the image above, only one instance of SPADS needed to be configured and ...

That got me to 0.12.18
I don't really want to switch to unstable?

FYI current testing release includes the fixes for Windows 64-bit.

Starting with version 0.12.29, SPADS now supports Python plugins (with either Python 2.6+ or Python 3.2+). So it is no longer required to write a single line of Perl code to extend SPADS functionalities through plugins :-) Like Perl plugins, Python plugins support hot reloads and the entire plugin A...

is this in the stable channel? Spads reports to me that there is no update available for stable release. No, changes are integrated in the "stable" release only when they have been extensively tested in the "unstable" release and then in the "testing" release. It can t...
