LuaGadgets for discrete income economy ? (I think Gundam had?)

Ok, I'm starting to notice that quite a bit of stuff does happen in the span of 10 years ... I'd like to make a mock up for a game concept I have. I want fixed /discrete income (+spending) (ie like in C&C or Starcraft, not continous income as is default in the Spring Engine). iirc, Gundam had th...

Re: Requiem on Spring Community (& -> Ideas for the future)

The discussion that'd happen on this forum happens on other mediums : other forums, lobby servers, direct messaging, bug trackers, discord. Ok, thanks for the pointer. Sounds like it does make things more difficult to track (and perhaps less accessable to newcomers?). I am starting to register (eg ...

Re: Spring RTS Engine

Missing the link to the video :P ? Seems like a pretty good description you give - if you need some filling in of futher details, I'd be happy to help. Expand & Exterminate was a pretty cool game (I have a concept for a game that is heavily inspired by it). Dunno what were the strongest influenc...

Re: Vision for a Open Source RTS games Community

Oh, PS - I've installed and tried Beyond-All-Reason and Zero-K : Very impressed with both! Totally different world from the games I was playing on Spring way back when :P !

Re: Vision for a Open Source RTS games Community

Ok, yesterday was an epic fail by me :). (I was going for perfect and wanted to do everything at once :P). I'll do a bit of progress report here (even if noone is interested): Instead of setting up a Matrix room, I ended up looking into Communities that are doing something similiar (ie see https://l...

Re: Where are all the games at?

Hey, raaar just gave a - I think - pretty detailed and useful answer to your question.

If you still have something you'd like to know, I reckon you're going to have to say a little more clearly what exactly you would like to know :).

Regards, Sean

Re: Vision for a Open Source RTS games Community

I guess my thought is "Why not!" :). To be honest, I've had this idea and thought of getting better cooperation (or lets call it, at least greater awareness and reciprocal support) of different Open Source games going since like forever (ok, since the early 2000's tbh - it was actually par...

Vision for a Open Source RTS games Community

Hey, my previous thread ( https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=45013 ) had two topics, so I'm moving one here. I'll just quote myself to start with: I think one of the really neat things about the Spring community was the "cross-pollination" of different games + game devs. I...

Re: Requiem on Spring Community & -> Ideas for the future

On your point: I'd generally agree with you :) . ---> Game communities are strong (perhaps stronger than ever!). I've not yet gotten into any yet (ie downloaded and played), but eg BAR and Zero-K seem vibrant. (my outside impression - sorry: BA, EvoRTS or Spring '44 , etc. I've not looked into, so c...

Re: Requiem on Spring Community & -> Ideas for the future

Ok, obviously I've put two topics into one thread here :P .

Since my main thrust is actually the "Ideas for the Future", I'll branch that offhere.

But I'm happy to discuss the other point here (Spring Community being dead)!

Requiem on Spring Community (& -> Ideas for the future)

So - I've been browsing by the Spring Forum ( + Website) every other year or so, but this time it was pretty obvious the community - at least here on this site - is dead. Ok - requiem in short: Things were nice while they lasted :) ! Anyway, on to ideas. Or mainly one idea: I think one of the really...

Re: Playtest games - postponed for the moment!

Doublepost to bump - As we already have an impressive backlog of bugs to fix and features to include, we'll be skipping the next few weeks playtest games. Thanks for all the feedback so far, it's definitely been very valuable! (and thanks for giving us some fun playing the game :-), that was nice al...

Re: Ok guys, here's the deal

Meanwhile, I'd really like to know if WiE has granted smoth permission to distribute his alternate textures for the EoW BattleTech units. I've discussed EoW with seanheron [...] If you have questions you should ask sean. It's a mixed bag - in short, for some yes, for some no - but in those cases ri...

Re: Ok guys, here's the deal

I'd tried to put it politely and hoped the discussion would peter out. Since it hasn't: I really don't get what people here, stating in various flavors that Wolf's statement/clarification is "unreasonable", are hoping to achieve. If it's aimed at the terms of use, I have this to say (Besid...

Re: Playtest games - every Sunday

@nightcold: No, if I'm honest, it's more related to this: I'm too lazy. I think I was hoping to tidy it up /look to use a more up to date version before dumping it into the main game file. Regarding installation/ accessibility - we actually have the game set up as a portable install in the repositor...

I'm too lazy.

Anyway, new version is up! Changelog later (even if it's short). I'm in a rush atm.
