Spring RTS Engine

I thought that I would be neat to simulate a long term conflict by having the map start with broken units around it. In addition to small units there would be a few "major" features. A good example would be like a dead Krogoth or something big like a LRPC at the center of the map. This wou...

No I can't host (I wish I could) because I don't have access the the network's firewall. However, it doesn' t happen every game. I have played some games in excess of an hour without encountering the problem at all. Also if I ever get it to pause it never happens again that game. I'm supprised this ...

Now I've even got kicked because I was trying to pause it! Is there any hope for me or should I give up on TASpring (which I don't want to do).

To begin: I'm running an AMD 64 3000+ With an ATI x800XT so my computer can handle TAspring EASY!! I'm connected through a university connection giving me up to T1 capability (normally slightly above cable). My Problem: Every once in a while, midway through a game, I stop being able to give orders. ...

Like I said in my first post the only place that causes me problems is the metal density (The metal extractor's "range"). The path finding (red-green) is significant enough I can tell. As far as recognizing areas where other types of colorblindness might have problems I'm clueless. That├óÔ...

I like a large portion of the male population (8%) am Red-Green colorblind. This means I can only distinguish reds from greens by their shade. This also makes me more sensitive to shades in order to compensate. The biggest problem that I have with spring is that a lot of the informative information ...

Thanks alot, boy that was fast.
Right after posting I found that in the Wiki, I feel dumb now :)

From what I've been told there is supposed to be a list of players and their connection status/CPU usage in the bottom right corner of the game while playing. In the form of their names in a specific color, and a percentage. This isn't there on my game and I never has been. I even tried re-installin...

I don't want this thread to degrade and become ignored by those who make things happen, so this will probably be my last post on the topic. If Min3mat wishes to continue it's his choice. However, with the same reasoning we could just say "all the planes but brawlers have limited usefulness so l...

Sorry if this is a re-post I didn't see anything on it. Additionally, if the developers thought deformable terrain was "rather pointless" why would they have bothered to put it in to begin with? Modifying terrain in games has always seemed useless at first (thats why most RTS games don't h...

I was wondering if it's possible to make a unit change the terrain other than restoring it? I think it would be cool to be able to raise the terrain to build a land-bridge across a river, create a bay to protect harbors from subs, or build a gun island right off an enemy's coast. Additionally diggin...

While I like the idea of using bitTorrent for map downloads/updates, I hope that the spring community doesn't go entirely to this method. I myself (and I would bet many other members too) am at a university where BitTorrent is blocked. Therefore any BitTorrent content is entirely out of my reach. So...

I got TACC working in XP now, but it doesn't like the files from spring, do I need to change the directory structure of my ufo files for it to work right?

I know it's lazy... Does anyone have/know of a program to modify the canbuild data in the sidedata.tdf file easily. As of now I have to determine the unit's name and the name of the units I want to have build it which can become tedious. I remember that TACC (TA:conflict crusher) had a build menu ed...

It looks great!
Does restoring the ground remove the marks or will long games result in polka dot maps?
When/How would I get them in my game?

I think OTA did it only by the map (so high maps had a global high power). Costal is a good point, but I think it would be much harder to implement. I think elevation would be the easiest becasue the engine already knows that data. If anyone knows how to set this up GREAT, just post it when you're d...

Is there a way to make wind power plants generate more power at higher elevations? (becasue wind speed is normally higher on the tops of hills) I was thinking of some kind of multiplier applied to the global wind based on the elevation map. I just thought it would add an extra little element of stra...

Thanks all, I think I understand the problem now.

So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that the calculations are based on the emitter of the weapon (IE the point on the model that the missile is fired from). So even if the internal camera is low, as long as the weapon emitter is high the weapon will automatically target correctly? Becau...

I've been messing around with custom units and I was wondering what determines the height of the units "camera." By this I mean how do I set how high off the ground the unit's line of sight calculations are made from. I ask because I have a turret that can shoot a decent range, but it won├...
