Spring RTS Engine

for some reason the version set in springlobby is invalid. i'll try to recompile 0.274 with the correct version tag: thanks for the hint.

where is the line? should the wiki list games like ta3d? coil is a fork.

But it's entirely possible to designate the fork as the new official development branch, or any of similar measures that essentially amount to dropping the commits that drop useful code from the main official branch. There was no discussion about that, also it was never tried to do that. The compla...

Bots are already shiped with the engine. As they are often incompatible with the game they are hidden as default in springlobby. you can show them when you set edit -> lobby preferences -> general -> gui user level to "Professional".

It would be interesting to hear your own concerns though. Why not merge the fork, what are your worries? thats not possible: 106+ dropped a lot of code which the fork still has. A lot of game devs and people wanted opengl4 thats what spring 106+ is. It requires to drop a lot of old opengl code, wit...

spring != coil

It's nice to see that, ten years after I stopped visiting these forums, the drama is alive and well! :lol: yep it is. Please clarify your stance up front of how you expect games using such a fork of the Spring engine should be interacting with springrts.com, and its related services. as coil is not...

use flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.springrts.SpringLobby The "flatpak install flathub com.springrts.SpringLobby" didn't seem to work, aborts with "error: no remote refs found similar to 'flathub'" and "no remote refs found similar to 'com.springrts.SpringLobby...

Thanks for reaching out abma. My reasoning for putting it in this forum was based on the fact that while technically you are correct, in terms of the actual interests of people, in practice, the byar community and vanilla Spring community still have more mutual area on the Venn diagram than their i...

Byar doesn't use the spring engine any more: i'm undecided if this post is offtopic.

Can you explain why this post fits into the "Ingame Community"?

## 0.274
- delete springlobby log files older than 7 * 24 hours( /General/MaxLogFileage )
- update prd: some unicode path fixes / crashes

springlobby connects to lobby.springrts.com:8200 (tcp).

you could test, if "telnet lobby.springrts.com 8200" works.

the server springrts.com already installs automatic updates. sometimes its required to reboot the machine, i.e. when a new kernel version is installed. I've configured it to do so at 10 am GMT+1 as sometimes some kernel updates weren't installed for months. Today it happened the first time and as yo...

hmm, seems 0.267 isn't there: https://springlobby.springrts.com/dl/stable/

maybe the develop versions work: https://springlobby.springrts.com/dl/develop/

spring 105.0 + springlobby 0.270 afaik.

no clue if online play is possible with springlobby 0.270: afaik the auto downloads are broken in this version.

which spring version did you try to use?

as long as no engine is detected and loaded springlobby can't show any game or map.

very likely you find the error(s) in springlobby.log.

it broke when python2 was removed during the upgrade of springrts.com:
