Spring RTS Engine

I already submitted a patch on the mailing list (includes spacing(spreading along the line, not cusrom spacing yet), taking into account unit sizes and simple same-unit-speed movement)

What about the old topic to add drag-and-droppable commands (draging command icon to change position parameters on the fly in the command que)? That would be mega-cool! Also a key with which a command you issue will be inserted in the command que(done now) and the rest of the command que will be don...

I don't know if anybody noticed it but queing some commands with hotkeys(non-build and non-move) doesn't work! Try move, shift-e(or r or g), I used to build a factory then press shift-g for my constr unit to guard the factory after it will be finished, but now when I press shift-g nothing happens; O...

thanks for telling me how to make a patch. Wouldn't CMD_SET_WANTED_MAX_SPEED with Speed = UnitDef->MaxSpeed resume the original speed? Yes, it would, but you would need to give this command when units finish moving/or stopped/or given another command. I tried pushing the set_max_speed(original max s...

I made a patch on the mailing list (1 line of code) for this command to work and included it with SelectedUnitsAI.cpp so that CTRL-Move makes them move at the same speed, Ctrl-Move-Drag makes them move at same speed and form a front (like drag-move). The only(BIG) problem I didn't fix is how to make...

What keys you use now to show the unit's updating path the way you could see it by pressing "B" before? For some reason it doesn't work now... And is there a way (for AI for example) to get the current path as you could see it with "B" immediately (not counting that the unit will...

well, if you drew them with lines, wouldn't this "gui" dissapear when you move the camera?
It could redraw itself in a new camera position, but that'd be kind of hackish and might slow down things...
And this getPossibleCommands thing is really usefull

in one of the latest SVN builds, the smokes from geovents and weapons looks messed up and the weapon projectiles look strange too. I have old ati radeon. I only used the new spring.exe file, didn't add any new content. Screenshot below. [img=http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/2056/screen004vd4.th.jp...

This is about having ability for AI (both group and global, as they can both be used as helper AIs) to add their own gui elements, and values of which the AI can access when player changes them. This could extend even more how a player controls his army through AI. AF, I heard AI can add buttons to ...

Iamacup, could you fix download links to JJ's mp3 (espec 3-rd one) ?

this shouldn't be hard to do, in the selectedUnitsAi.cpp file you can try using setMaxSpeed function SJ has added in movetype.h not long ago for units move with ALT/CTRL/Space or whatever pressed; I wanted to test it yesterday but couldn't compile last svn version of spring. Maybe setUnitAcceleratio...

Been trying to compile the latest SVN, got this never-happened-before error. First I should say I had to add the include path to the boost headers (1-33-1) to start compile. After some files compiled, the "generating code" message and stuff I got this: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Stu...

Just checking if the sizes of icons will not change depending on how far from 0 height the unit is how it should work is: 1) if some units are high in the air or on top of big mountain their icon size shouldn't change. 2) As soon as the most far unit will get zoomed far enough to turn into icon, all...

Looks kool, espec the skybox reminds me of some nice tripping;)
I think it shouldn't be so foggy (maybe shouldn't be foggy at all), better add more textures, fantasy lights, drawings, mystical signs and some hidden swimming pools!

Noticed in the SVN that SJ just made maxspeed control setting possible! This is great news;) , just have 2 questions: 1) Will the setAcceleration or setMaxAcceleration be also available because if maxSpeed would change and acceleration would stay same: a)Fast units with slow maxspeed and FAST accele...

yeah, solution like yuritch proposed with radar blip with a slow drifting-deviation that gets bigger if it's a plasma weapon over a laser weapon and the floating is bigger if the range is farther (nore difficult to detect
That would be a useful thing and units could fire at this floating radar blip

Ok, I agree with Smoth partly in the point that it would at least be a LOT easier to create groupAI (or selectedUnitsAI with CTRL/ALT-Move) that, when given a move or patrol command, would create waypoints and make units wait for others on those waypoints, and it would kinda solve the problem. On ea...

I'm actually for setting a command to allow slowdown of unit speed and acceleration by a certain value (command parameter) so you could have controlled timing of when your whole group will arrive at point X. AF said there's a command for this that is not in the GUI? Are you sure? I think I tried it ...

Well, that's not too much constructive thoughts... I just wonder if someone already looked at something similar to those points and could point me to the source files/variables/just general ideas on how to implement those suggestions, and I'll definately look into the ETA groupAI from AF. And for se...

Now that we have full out zoom and replacing units with icons feature just a few things should be added to add real Big Scale Strategy into spring: 1) New map format with bigger maps and less resource usage for them. 2) Command to set speed and acceleration of units (i've been looking for this since...
