Re: BA 8.08 Released!

Left+Middle is a no-go imo until I grow another hand. Lots of keybindings are unusable on non-english keyboard layouts. At least on my german keyboard its quite bad. I am unable to find out how to rotate buildings with keys :( Also same in Finnish keyboard, but that is the reason why I always nowad...

Re: BOTA Relaunch - Is there interest?

I made Bota 1.7 Beta 10.1 and submitted to springfiles but I think it got lost, not sure. Also was doing Beta 10.2 but never got ready with it and by then Spring had "broken" it even more. Below are the changes, and one open TODO, that I did and why: Anyways I gave BOTA17Beta10_1.sd7 and B...

Re: TASClient? Facebook Cross-Domain Messaging helper-spring

I also noticed on my Win8 that Tasclient was popping three browsers at start which of two were going to Facebook sites that were "security risks". However, I applied Jools' suggestion of just disabling news, and no more issues :) Anyways, I am using TASClient so do not kill it. I have no i...

Re: HELP STEAM USERS!

Yeah indeed we did not hijack any players from evolution battle rooms (or even from channel). Two players just randomly got to XTA battle room and we thought they want to play (and we to play with few new players too).

Re: AMD Mantle support

Hmm interesting thing, indeed best option is to get opengl (or directx) drivers as fast as possible without any 3rd "dirty" solution. "Now the golden question that comes to my mind is this: If Nvidia could do all this with a Soft update, why didn’t it do it before. The obvious answer ...

That is valid point, and mantle shines in CPU bound situations ("sucks" in GPU bound):

AMD Mantle support

I am wondering would it be possible to add support for AMD Mantle? As spring is sort of swarm game which benefits most of it.

A simple Spring map compilation "tool"

Hi all, I made a small tool, which uses Beherith's mapconv, to make Spring maps fast (fast also means here not so great quality and so far limited control on creation). Fast here does not refer to fast compiling of map, but to minimal amount of input needed. Anyways I found this tool I made in 2009/...

Re: Spring 0.95 - BSODing / hanging

Spring seems to work on my second PC (on Radeon 6850 & Windows 8.1 PRO/16GB). Maybe BSOD and/or freeze is some sort Win7 / 5850 driver etc issue.

Re: Spring 0.95 - BSODing / hanging

spring --safemode seems to remove BSOD but it still freezes immediately when count down counter goes from 3 to 1. I also tried your LoadingMT = 0 it seemed to change loading process a bit , but after it freeze happens exactly similarly. So LoadingMT = 0 does not seem to help. I have all those 3DTree...

Re: Spring 0.95 - BSODing / hanging

Added that shadows configuration too, but it still hangs. However now the "game start timer" goes from 3, 2, 1 and then freezes, whereas earlier it froze at 3 (at least most of the time).

Reset the spring to 0.94, never ever crashed before all the versions. Now I crash every 10 minutes for no apparent reasoning, turned everything to low, set the shaders and all the crap to 0. Reinstalled the game twice. Still fucking crashing Fuck 0.95 what a piece of shit. Hmm, I am interested in k...

Re: ATI slow performance in 0.94.x versions

Well crazy settings or no but those have worked just smoothly for me before 94x versions. But yeah maybe I drop then few particles away :)

I have played long games and 5 vs 5 games etc no problems with those settings before 94x versions, hence I wonder who is foobar - my settings or spring core :)
