Spring RTS Engine

this seems exploitable:
- false negative : a cheater with a nearby laptop can move both mouses simultaneously every minute or so to fool the algorithm
- false positive : spectator was afk or just paying attention to another window and didn't move the mouse

This is interesting. It seems to be trying to sell itself as scalable to huge numbers of units and possibly players in each battle with people joining mid-game (not sure if any of it is actually true). It seems like it's using a modified version of techA units. Despite its flaws in movement animatio...

So the interior of each building is visible and the actual buildings are the walls? i've thought about a garrisonable building mechanic for spring games with humans walking around where each building would consist of: - raised terraform for the roof, so units can walk on the roof and have turrets an...

I didn't argue that they should be allowed, I argued that the penalty should be relatively low, depending on intensity, recurrence, etc. Besides this thread, was there any other action taken? If someone that usually plays and is sometimes rude suddenly "disappears", is there a way for others who use...

I agree such offensive words shouldn't be used, but this case seems to be a kind of joke message sent by pm to trigger Forb (it worked).

It should get warnings and a perhaps a short duration temp ban, not public shaming.

It's not like we're swimming in players..

Recently i've seen new players run into this issue again.

Is there a way to enforce the scroll speed=-25 through a lua widget?

He's been doing an rts for mobile or something, and has probably been recurrently asked about making a TA-like game, so he probably already knows about BA and springrts games in general. The currently played versions have some embarrassingly bad models and animations (many off sync with the units mo...

Imo your maps are normally too big, but this one is too small.

It'd be nicer if it were 12x8 and with a bit more detail on the textures.

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...

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?
