Spring RTS Engine

I couldn't believe that it wouldn't kill about 500 of them..

Ive seen 30 flash tanks pulverize an Orcone. Now how do you explain THAT Caydr!!??

J/K, the other team just had shit micro.

overkill, I have been considering the same idea as you. Contact me, and lets work on this together. Personally, two things I would like to include immediately would be a 2 Tier hovercraft techtree and an expanded lvl3 techtree based on the one used in TLL. This will be challenging, but not impossible.

There any plans to get realtime dynamic lighting incorporated into spring?

That range increase on the Advanced Torpedo Launcher=ROX. Now they're actually worth building.

Firestorm=RIP; dono why we could never get that thing right.

The red arrow makes the icon look misleadingly lopsided. Otherwise, put it in.

Ah, it's time to go legal ^^ .

If Stumpies and Raiders had their damage/shot decreased while having shot velocity and rate of fire increased [keeping current dps], they would probably fair much better as skirmishers. Of course, that might just defeat their current purpose. They're not meant to be skirmishers. They're explicitly ...

Actually, if the peewee's aim time and the time it took for them to raise their barrels was decreased, it might solve the problem.

I could see this move working, albeit Core would need an exploiter fusion to balance it out.

Think about it, while ARM gets all sorts of cloakable mexes, fusion, and even fake fusion, core gets all kinds of exploiters. If you remove cfusion for core, its logical to give core an exploiter fusion.

Yeah caydr, all of these settings can be applied using the settings panels for ATI and NVIDIA drivers. Just set it up to manually choose your own settings. Transparency anti-aliasing is a NVIDIA only feature though I think.

And yeah, I mean those grass and particle shadows.

Will the shadows now be toggleable in settings.exe? I run fine with everything turned to max and 16X AF + 4X AA w/ TransAA

The complete hovercraft buildtree would be a valuable and practical addition to AA. I still think making hovercrafts 2 tier is the way to go. Btw, remeber to add that one unit called the Alien Particle Accelerator, you know the one that makes 20000 e and has 3 rapid fire annihilator lasers that had ...

As soon as the multi-threaded OpenGL api Leopard will be using gets ported over. Then we're in business.

Just a heads up, but running 2 spring.exe concurrently has cocked up a blue screen for me. Anyone else? I'm running nvidia and dual core btw.

Just the opposite actually Caydr. I mean, if speedmetal had super low terrain hardness, it would become a seabattle by midgame .

Also, I recall the initial changelog saying something about removing the "Requiter". What the hell was that? I've never heard of it.

Its a mobile tac nuke launcher for ARM, built by the gantry.

Another issue to address: Marauders are too fast and more importantly, they blow up ridiculously large for their size. I mean comon, those Marauders can just crowd around bigger L3 mechs and get blown up, acting like crawling bombs. If they blow up this big, at least make Karg and Razor's explosions...

Btw, arty hovers can be removed, but the real issue is seriously buffing up those rocket launching hovercraft. They should have enough range to kill LLT/Beamer/HLTs, but at the same time get their ass kicked by Guardians. Key to this is keeping them slow so Guardians can hit them well and they can't...

Caydr = ZOMG

Hey, he been working OT these days. Let him sleep a few hours and his head'll clear up.
