Spring RTS Engine

Because I always wanted this little beauty in my game! :twisted: The Think Tank Spiderdemon! There will be no plasma or vulcan gun attached. I am rather thinking about a mid-randed semi-artillery mindblast-styled weapon. This could make a nice support unit out of that little guy. http://cursed.one/o...

What do you think you are gaining by making them into features, by comparison to just including them in the map? That ist pretty obvious, isn't it? Features' geometry allows to add lots details to cliffs than possible with heightmaps only. Maybe the shown example is not perfect to demonstrate that ...

Why not placing big (indescructable) features in front of steep slopes? Even wih Spring board placement is a little painful, as you can not (or I do not know how-to) rotate features before pressing the mouse buttun and thus have the position fixed. However, the results are quite promissing so far (e...

I did make the game "Chobby ready". As there are missing several functions in the ingame lobby like faction change, chosing start postions and team colors, these functionalities are now implemented game-wise. Typical spring lobby funtionalities are of course not overwriten. Major changes 1...

What is the sea star crab thing? How does the animation look?

You have good point there

Then you did that pretty quickly

There is no way to automate that?

Yeah! Pefect - thank you. It is running smoothly and the replays also do upload again. But shouldn't the autohost also auto-update to new Cursed versions. It did not pay attention to version 1.438 somehow...

Why ist the clean-up needed anyway? How did the other games do it?

Thank you!

Ingame time is needed in order to keep the account? That sounds like bureacracy....

Mini-Update to fix some issue with the ingame start boxes. >> Major changes 1.437 => 1.438 - game side controlled start boxed will always be overwritten by (correctly) defined start-boxes via lobby. Game side control should only be relevant if something is missing or not corretly defined.

@Thinksome: Thank you! Mescaline and Ravaged are missing on this list. I added them and placed the file on GitHub https://raw.githubusercontent.com/azaremoth/cursed/master/Cursed_MapBoxes.dat Btw. can we please define Spring 104 as standard? And there is an issue with the replay upload: "[15:03...

Well, that would be me then. How is the format for the box coordinates? Same as If entered in the lobby?

Dragoon style! The big gun clearly improves the design.

Option 2 sounds more reasonable to me.

Going through all the maps to (re-)define the startboxes is nothing I am very keen on.

That sounds like missing default startboxes. Actually, I was hoping to prevent this issue by the implementation of game-side startboxes with version 1.437 in case nothing is defined by the host. I am currently away from home until end of this week and will have a look in the game-side then. @ThinkSo...

Same thing from me! I Wish you a succesful and healhty 2018!

Sounds like a hard time. Glad that you are recovering!

Major changes 1.436 => 1.437 Balance - weapon's range of imperial battle tanks increased to 500 (+43%) - weapon's range of cursed Moloch increased to 500 (+11%) and reload time reduced by 6% - imperials do start with two builderoids now Polishing - smart unit behavior will not impact units that hav...

Lovely.
