Spring RTS Engine

I don't have the statistics, but on the official server, generally there seem to be about 60 people logged in during most of the day, with about a dozen playing. On weekend afternoons and early evenings it grows to about 80-100 logged in with about 20 playing. On the early mornings it gets down to a...

It seems fine now, thanks!

I've uploaded a new map to springfiles a few days ago. The standard "map-related" image links haven't shown up (designmap, heightmap, metalmap). It's also not shown on the unfeatured map lists on the ZK website (play > maps > support = any). Compared to earlier versions, the "springfi...

the "generate new random password" seems unnecessary.

The latest pics don't show the "show advanced options" option.

._.'

don't understand

That line of thought leads to incompatible packages for each game (lobby, engine, etc.) that break other games. It won't end well. Shared environment won't work without standards. There's no point in making a modified lobby if 90% of the potential players access the game through either the official ...

meanwhile, a new player tried MF and went into a battle against AI. Did he pick MFAI? of course he didn't. He picked some other AI which idled throughout... The lack of standardized AI filter for games after all this time is incompetence or negligence, or both. Gross. Then we complain about poor pla...

I think someone should. Who has access to that? Maybe the people that run the lobby server.

An example : it's no point making something like AI filter that works with springlobby if we find most users using weblobby, especially the newer users.

2018/07/02 ------------------ NOTES v4 ---------------------- - improved the textures in general - changed to 16bit heightmap (smoother) - fixed an issue which caused projectile trails and other effects happening above the hole to be hard to see - added ZK start zones (East vs West) - added "Ro...

After all this time there is still no way for game devs to ensure players get a sane list of AIs to choose from, at least with springlobby. related github issues for springlobby https://github.com/springlobby/springlobby/issues/817 https://github.com/springlobby/springlobby/issues/755 What do other ...

yes, lobby usage statistics.

for each lobby client, it'd be useful to know the number and % of users that used it, and also something weighted by the time they spent doing it.

What are the advanced options?

Such feels around BA. people play what is best the "best" is a subjective label which generally gets assigned to whatever people find most other people playing. Quality is secondary unless the game is really bad (which BA isn't). A "great" game is no fun without a player base. As...

A note about closed issues. It's annoying that people cannot add comments on them without reopening.

2018/05/31 ------------------ NOTES v4 ----------------------

- modified the center marble-like pattern to look more varied

- use "noisier" detail texture

you've likely tried to use line formation on a far-away destination. The engine should do some sort of check and have the units follow parallel paths instead of reusing the same path which forces them to converge and bump into each other. You may also increase the footprints on the movedefs to make ...

I saw the above page too. It shows a popup.



it's the second time today, but in the meantime I used the site just fine.

New version out! same links as before 2018/05/27 ------------------ NOTES v0.996 ---------------------- --- balance / mechanics - units with weapons with an AOE edge effectiveness boosts got a bit cheaper (5-10% cost reduction on GEAR Grenado, CLAW Nucleus, Massacre and Mega, and AVEN Stasis and Tsu...

so that means, if one uses edge effectiveness=0.5, in practice a unit caught halfway between from the blastpoint and the blast radius will receive about 0.6*dmg instead of 0.5*dmg (edge effectiveness=0).

if we set edge effectiveness to 0.5, shouldn't the damage drop off linearly from 100% to 50% along the blast radius?
