Spring RTS Engine

Many maps use a combination of baked & dynamic shadows (from a chosen sun dir) to create their terrain shadowing - consequently in most cases the game should not risk changing the sun pos.

On the OP, no bug was reported but it might have been related to lobbyserver work (and if so, I guess was resolved weeks ago, unintentionally with other fixes).

I guess all that's happened is that what was once "new ideas" now became "a normal LD game".

I'd like to try something different again. I think we should look push in directions that the engine is good at, rather than just doing other game styles with lua.

LD44 is set for April 26th-29th

I think I can make those days! Who else is in?

Why can't we use url:s like https://repos.springrts.com/zk/ instead?

I think you will be able to use https, just not yet.

A bit less cool that it is non-free, was made through stealing free projects & ignoring their licenses, which seems deliberate, and then lies about it when asked in https://steamcommunity.com/app/671690/d ... 622576606/

It's not really fair to say that mac support will be "dropped". Apple lacks support for some standard OpenGL features, which were added to OpenGL around 2010. Spring will update to use these features and probably doesn't have the resources to keep ~10yo backwards compat alive. Looks to me like apple...

We plan to soon remove Melbot and use https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=38984 to bridge #sy and other channels to IRC via Springs matrix server instead. Two bridges currently exist for #sy, to Freenode and Quakenet. Unfortunately, Quakenet isn't connected to the matrix, which means we...

Yes, privacy, if bridges out of passworded channels existed then the users would in some sense expect privacy but also have lost sight of where their chat was being sent to. I've (just now) added an exception for passworded battle hosts bridging into their own battles. The upper/lower case issue sho...

It's not the server causing this either - that's a setting picked by the host for the spring executable!

From a autohost named "Spads": "BRIDGECLIENTFROM spads testId testName" Please have another go, there was a bug https://github.com/spring/uberserver/commit/74b8a35bbb31be4262a5e7e5bf693b88a07e6f1d (and note that usernames are case sensitive!) Also, is there any reason to prevent bridging by the hos...

I think I see why you're asking - I'll relax this restriction to allow a host with no botflag to bridge into its own battle, provided that the host uses its own username as the location.

edit: done, modified OP.

I can't tell you anything specifically about Evo RTS, which might add extra/restrictive conditions of its own, but you should be aware of https://springrts.com/wiki/Licenses_Forking_Mutators#Licensing_for_content_devs.2C_in_brief which relates to all Spring games and states We generally view code th...

This was a case of the ancient bug https://github.com/spring/uberserver/issues/295

XMLRPC is working again now.

The live server is now running the latest uberserver (apologies for ~2h of downtime while we fixed some issues, plus a few restarts in days after for other fixes). The updates are finished. From now, report all issues to the usual bugtrackers. When new stuff will be visible to normal users: The poin...

No, this part only relates to bridge bots and unification of channel/battle handling. But,

we'll think about when to turn on the various features listed in the OP after we've finished with the code updates, and we'll try to ensure that devs/hosters who need time to prepare do get it

The second (and last) set of code updates are planned go onto the live server on Friday. Consequently, there may be short term disruption / downtime for the lobby server, beginning 8am Friday, Feb 15th.
