I had this same problem with the SVN builds that I downloaded, and now I have it with the final release of .77b2. I am on Windows XP SP3 (32-bit.) "Download Content" has a target of: "C:\Program Files\Spring\$INSTDIR\unknown-files.url" I believe that should be "C:\Program Fi...

Hey Argh,

(Unless my system has leftover settings,) you should default the graphics options to simple mode rather than expert mode.

+1 For the test threads. I would be willing to help with them.

I'd love to see people hug these "alien trees" (and be promptly turned into visceroids.)

Ground Zero, I think generals and WD would benefit alot from certain new features to the engine. Unfortunatley my love of generals (and hate for the bugs in that version of the sage engine) can not be expressed, in a constructive way, until I learn to do C/C++ programming this summer. Still, does an...

The main problem is whether or not we could create a script to convert the C&C data to spring data. Once that is done, we need to consider other issues like Smoth proposed: major problems: the buildings/units cannot be upgraded can't do garrisoning/bunkers can't do generals powers probably can't...

You're looking for an app to record what goes out to the speakers? Creative drivers include the "What U Hear" virtual recording device, which can then be used with any audio recording app such as audacity. I don't know if free/freeware audio recording apps let you take your output and reco...

Perhaps you could bring about the classic C&C power system by making there be almost no energy storage. That way you always either have enough power or not.

Otherside, that's the tiberian sun one.

Personally I like the tiberian dawn (original) one better, and we should try to keep all the stuff from the original C&C in this mod. A tiberian sun mod can always be done later, and then people can mix stuff all they want.

Can someone just tell us what major things have been implemented in the head since .67 (and thus will probably be in the next release)?

EDIT: Here's the noticable stuff from reading the linux SVN changelog
unlimited mod sides count
Preliminary scons support for Darwin via Darwinports

As both a C&C and a TA fan I wish you the best of luck. I wish the engine was more flexible to support all the stuff you want though.

My geforce FX 5200 ultra is directx 9 compliant, I know, I've tested it out. As far as I was aware the entire Geforce FX series was DX9 compliant. So I ask what's the difference between FX 5200 and FX 5200 ultra? Also in nvidia, you cant overclock it because the clock speed page is hidden but it's ...

Chocapic, are not his open source test releases a way of speeding up the development cycle as people report bugs and send patches?

I imagine the standard gnu make compilation and setup can be done with an SVN checkout, but those ebuild files are for gentoo and maybe some other distros based on it.

Zaphod, great, I'm glad we can get along, and wise choice. Now that it seems reasonable, I would like to do benchmarks just for the sake of the spring community. Could you or someone else confirm exactly what's the maximum shader model spring uses? As for the benchmarks info, Unfortunately I'm not l...

If you're in gentoo, you're in luck. They have ebuild files waiting for you.

Nevertheless, numerous benchmarks speak for themselves, Nvidia is much faster at openGL than direct3d. Here's one example of quake4, and keep in mind, quake4 is based on doom3, which was already optimized by ATI's drivers. mikedep, that's an unfair comparision. Showing that a particular nvidia card...

masse has just reported in a KAI vs NTAI game that thuds firing high trajectory now work.

Nice, which AI won the game?

Zaphod, I believe that the reason why ATI purposely does not invest sufficient time in their openGL driver development is because few games use it. I believe John Carmack stuck with OpenGL because he is masterful at programming in it, because it is cross-platform, and because Nvidia helps them howev...
