Spring RTS Engine

I'm sorry for such a late reply, but better now than never :) Due to personal reasons I couldn't continue working much on the lobby for last few months and also, I had a lack of motivation too. Spring was a great hobby, I did enjoy it much and I learned a lot too. TASServer was my first "bigger...

Example of a new registry system: Send an email in to this forum request for your account, therefore, the moderators are the only ones able to produce accounts and may email the user their ID. Then they log into their ID and Set up a username and password. This would prevent multiple accounts, and ...

No that's just for internal use, it probably uses autoincrement index on the database too but you are recognized as "username" on the outside. Different forums would have different IDs for same username for example, so you can't count on that (if you would want to connect single account wi...

I'm not sure to understand this point. Indeed I don't want to be a number on the forum, but I don't want to be a number on the lobby neither... Why is it different ? However, it doesn't bother me that a number be associated to my account because it's the nickname that is showed on forums, not the i...

There wasn't much talk about it so far indeed, I only talked to Tobi and some other devs about it, but indeed I think everyone should participate in this :) First, about unique user IDs versus unique usernames: I think usernames have some advantages (but both would work well). The goal of this new s...

Because you did it wrong I guess. But can't say much without the source.

You should synchronize the thread that sends ping, also check out TWSocket options (make sure it is not in some mode that doesn't allow concurrent access).

I have an old ATI Radeon 9000 card and it doesn't go too well with Spring (fine with other games though). Will buy nvidia for sure as my next card (better driver support, they release development docs, they do sponsorships etc., I just like them more :)

Was updated two days ago, should be working now

I've just uploaded it to the download page (both jar and exe). Or what's the problem?

I've uploaded the latest lobby server to download section too now.

There were a few protocol changes, nothing much. All listed here: http://spring.clan-sy.com:8202/lobby/protocol/ProtocolDescription.xml Also with next release we will transfer all account to database (this was planned for this release but we ran out of time), so the web interface currently doesn't w...

I never liked Spring's icon and hence TASClient's, so this definitely looks better :)

I am wondering how it looks as 16x16 icon (for .exe)?

Satirik added 2 more in-game based ranks for next version, and some medals/cup icons are planned for top ladder players in future.

Or perhaps even better would be TAB character to delimit lines. This character is already used in the protocol for separating "sentences". The problem is that <br> can be interpreted as a completely valid text, while TABs can always be replaced by spaces.

The behaviour is all right and other windows apps use it too, but in the context of channel topic it's of course not ok. Best solution I guess would be either "<br>" (rather than <br /> since it is simpler and this is not html anyway) or not allowing line breaks at all. The \n thing won't ...

very well, suit yourself.

Satirik has had direct discussions with betalord and some of the changes are at satiriks request, so satirik does not have this issue because he ahd a direct chance to ask how. You have "a direct chance to ask" too. I'm always hanging out in #sy on quakenet (as well is Tobi), you have an ...

I understand that part, but not the "reduction" part.

Ask Satirik (I can't find them in SVN at least), this is his doing :)

What does this mean? And how do we use it? It's a new game mode option where you get to pick start positions in the lobby rather than in-game. Tobi will have to explain it more in detail as I wouldn't really know. There's been some talk over incompatibilities with the new TASServer command and the ...

If you want to see XML formated document, you must rather open:

All the changes are mentioned at the beginning, in "Recent Changes" section :)
