Spring RTS Engine

something that would fit a sith lord!

I'd change the armor also.

Energy blades would make more sense in these contexts where melee attacks are used against armored targets like tanks and such. Ingame the shade's swords have a glowy effect on them, that helps, but could be more intense when attacking. Asian conical hat is weird. The melee attack animations are als...

https://springrts.com/phpbb/download/file.php?id=10533 Metal Factions is an evolving RTS game that started as yet another TA mod but since 2014 has been moving away from TA IP to a more original game with decent graphics and great gameplay . Besides gameplay similarities with other TA-derived or Su...

lasers not being able to hit what should be in range is a stinking bug that should be fixed, is it mantised?

Limiting maxparticles significantly leads to horrible results where later in the game explosions aren't rendered at all. Whoever plays metal factions gets the maxparticles setting overriden to 20k. There should be a quality modifier for CEG, and it could be implemented in several ways, the simplest ...

having the "RTS" in the name helps differentiate it from the java spring framework.

i've paid attention to it and got this:



see the results? Old versions of BA and techA....HPI viewer?!

It seems people are still clicking and downloading old stuff. What can be done about this?

New version out! Grab it NOW! here . Also available through the "metalfactions:stable" rapid tag, and by joining the nebula game rooms on the official server.

There seems to be split in the community between those who preferred the 9.46 relative to 10.x and it's persisting on 10.13. People also seem angry about hosts and stuff. As an "outsider" to BA i can barely tell the difference between them. What's wrong with the newer versions? what would it take fo...

is it randomly generated when the game starts, or does it change throughout each game?

This might be interesting, but depends on the map. Do you have any sketch of how it might be like?

maybe there could be aliases to channels, for backwards compatibility. The lobbies could assume "gamedev" and "enginedev" match "moddev" and "sy", respectively.

Joining "enginedev" would be the same as joining "sy".

I doubt it'll have such a drastic impact on those services, it's probably just another step along the path toward censorship and control of the internet. If they had voted against it, the "powers that be" would push it again in a year or so until they get the "correct" result. The best way to punish...

The current lack of control on many of the games is partly a design decision from the game devs. They could have chosen to make the aircraft more maneuverable but more expensive (less spammable). On my game i've tried to do that and it kind of works. On ZK they're also more maneuverable. Some key pa...

Sometimes people are assholes, but a short ban (1 week max - even if self-imposed), should be enough to cool off. The simplest and still very important way to improve the spring ecossystem is just showing up and playing the games. people stop playing because other people stop playing (and not enough...

We should have a public list of players who got banned, the reasons and the status of it.

it'd be interesting to have more information about the number of players over time and the bans.

you could say the sun aura is an explosion, therefore it has the "war" flavour too.
