Spring RTS Engine

I think it's safe to say that BA9 is currently the most played mod. BA playerbase is actually recovering at the moment. I am sure you know it can only run on 103. Not sure if it is a good idea to ban it, especially in this moment. But let's see what will happen. Might possibly lead to players leavin...

Could you explain the background of this?

Thanks to BA devs for all the awesome UI/graphics stuff (and general polishing)!

I think they call stuff like that a "derivative work": https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/what-are-derivative-works-under-copyright-law The paragraph "Who Can Produce Derivative Works?" is interesting and might be relevant for BA. I think the only really clean way would be to get...

Relying on external image hosting providers is pretty bad. They are out of your control. I hate it alot in other forums when browsing two year old threads and all those images are gone cause some random image hoster decided to go out of existence.

And why?

Someone should invent a way to duplicate data to another place so when the original data is lost, it could be restored from the safe place.

I am not sure if I really understand what you are saying, but I read it as: There are two differents "modes" that a vehicle can use to turn around. One mode involves the unit to stand still for about 2 seconds and the other one involves driving a large curve. Which one of the two modes get...

Thanks for that answer, interesting read! I talked to Triton and other devs about vehicles but we never managed to have a constructive discussion about the topic. Every criticism was just dismissed. Let me state that I generally like the buffed vehicles in new BA and think it is an important change....

You could try a mantis ticket

Developers do not use Discord because it is far from suitable for such things (I can say as a developer). It's a gamer chatroom. Anyway, every BA balance discussion we have trying to be constructive is ended by someone joining and turning it into an offtopic Discord discussion. So we can just stop t...

Currently, in team games, the outcome of a lastcom vs lastcom fight isn't dependant on "who is killed first" or "what weapon was used" but merely on a distance calculation between an allyteam's last comm and this allyteam's further unit (from the blow). The team with the highest...

Com rules were inconsistent between different game modes (team vs ffa). Now com rules are inconsistent within a single game. Does not feel like an improvement.

I have the feeling that vehicle movement (at least T1) has gotten alot worse on BA10. Vehicles are very hard to micro and feel unresponsive. They drive around in large circles alot, very unprecise. Really not fun :( Ptaq says this only happens on engine 103 and would be fine on 104. Could you please...

I honestly thought you mean "off" like "disabled", not being able to selfd.

I think combomb behavior that changes depened if its last com or not last com should be avoided. Gameplay mechanics should be consistent and should not change in the course of the game (my opinion): - it feels arbitrary and unnatural. Cannot be justified by any physical laws or logic (like laser fal...

I appreciate you guys discussing this in a forum thread which has a specific topic that allows people to hop in and follow the discussion. Much more useful than linking to a stream of random topic-less chatlines which you see elsewhere :)

rather join the ACE Ticot v104 testhost... new BA is planned to release early december we aim for... Hell, you want to leave us at least 4 more weeks vulnerable to potential security issues? Why not release a 9.47 BA able to run on 104 to protect the userbase?? I can only urgently recommend to ever...

I reported to abma and Silentwings too. As always I was just dismissed. They claim that this issue is fixed in 104. :regret: Also they say they don't know about ally commands crashing hosts and it has never been reported before (attached replay didn't count it seems). And if I think that I found an ...

Forb, read his post again. He did not count commits but the number of changed lines between 9.46 and current dev branch.
