Spring RTS Engine

Oh ok, thanks for the input Forb. Makes me feel a little better, Rapid makes the world a happier place

I was just trying to cut down on the thread count, but I'll do as you suggested.

Thanks for reading, and your input!

Good criticism, I feel I am only mindful of my paragraphs half the time.

I am definitely planning on doing more, although the content/aim of the next "chapter" is currently a toss-up.

Smoth, your stuff looks great, and I am ever envious of what you can do.

Makes me want to get better

oh... like, rapid may not be a thing anymore?

If so, that's a huge bummer.

Thanks for the heads up Smoth

Decided to make a final push to get the NKG to something I can be somewhat happy with, in terms of completion. The way I'm seeing it, 6 more unit remodels and I'll be ready to close the file (temporarily) on the NKG. What lies after that? Possibly a new Drone unit... depends on what I can figure out...

*is a broken record*

I don't think rapid is picking up CT's SVN updates

Are my long hiatuses from working on the game causing this every time I do decide to start working on it again?

So, instead of working on the game (because that'd make too much sense), I've been doing some writing. Set in the Conflict Terra "universe" that oksnoop2 and I laid out over a year ago, it is my attempt to create some backstory. It's something I've really wanted to do for a long time, and a recent c...

I proposed to my girlfriend, and got an expected yes :)

Got her one of those cool tungsten rings, only the size was off so we're going to get the right size sent back to us.

Although it's not really brand new anymore, I played the demo for Dragon's Dogma last night and really got into it. Has anyone here tried this game out? Any opinions to give? I poked into it online and it seems to be a classic example of a game that starts off really strong but then kind of peters o...

Yeah, I've doodled quite a bit to make the various units for CT. It does help a lot. Some of my better designs were doodled on scrap paper while I was at work, haha.

Not a bad idea. Although I think some of it may be some kind of block between my brain and Wings. I have some decent images in my head, but nothing is coming out right in Wings.

I'm just boo-hooing, because I can, and to show that I am thinking about CT even if nothing is getting done.

Ugh, I am having a hard time coming up with unit designs.

Frustrating...

I know right? Poor planes getting repaired were getting destroyed by enemy fighters

Purely speaking from "I read it on the webz", but one person in a forum discussing monitor specifications said response time was one of those things that became a market strategy, having little noticeable effect but being billed as something to look for. I'll admit that I didn't know about the exist...

A picture! Of the finished Aircraft Repair Station. Doesn't repair cruisers, and doesn't really have much animation, but it has blinky lights

I thank everyone for their suggestions, but most of the suggestions were a little more than I'd like to spend. I guess even $250 was a little much. I ended up going with this: http://ca.asus.com/en/Display/LCD_Monitors/VS247HP/ With free shipping, and a 2 year warranty plan I ended up spending aroun...

With Christmas nearing and American consumerism at its peak I've started looking into getting a new monitor. There are really only 3 things I am looking for: I want a monitor with at least one HDMI port and one DVI port. VGA would be nice too (just as a back-up for whatever reason), but not necessar...

Thank you for responding Knorke :-) Seems doomed, especially with my weak Code Fu. I never tried to do anything with the whole "combine 2 units to make 1" thing. Always looked a little buggy to me. Is that the case? But even then, another problem is that Cruisers are so large and long, they are goin...

Oh, I'm sure no matter how clear I attempted to make it it would still confuse someone. I pretty much run with the assumption that people will not read text. That being said I've put forth an ongoing effort to make the descriptions as clear and to-the-point as possible. I feel they are pretty good n...

Well, I AM working on CT. It's not a sham :P What I've been done: * Finished out all of the new tanks. Excluding the Hover Tank which will come with the Navy Update, the Tanks are all done. Whew! * CEGs. So many CEGs. Got the building and unit death explosions all Lua'd and altered around a bit. The...
