Spring RTS Engine

Can someone with the access upload binaries and debug symbols as a github release?

I understand your frustration. One particular troll almost ruined my motivation to contribute to spring, other smaller ones spread decay here and there in small amounts to paint it all black. I'm actually surprised how lenient their treatment is. IMO moderation at springrts should be way stricter th...

Short progress report:

• my test build now supports uploading and downloading to/from UBO and SSBO in Lua
• Streamlining of transition OpenGL API is continuing

I see that you view Matrix and other modern FOSS communication technologies as "caveman" technologies. I see that you again put words in my mouth. Isn't it convenient: when you have nothing to say - go say some non-sense, attribute it to someone else and then explain how nonsensical it's....

Are you saying that all of your 2000+ (or how ever many you have) users in your discord channel collaborate and build spring games? That's a lot of developers! I said what I said: It's written in a simple, international English. Everyone can read it and witness I never said what you imply I said. M...

I gauge activity based on how many new users play s44 and how many stay there. I think you draw spring-wide conclusion based on a very specific gauge then. "Blind men and the elephant" essentially. No offense, but S44 is very complex to learn and not visually appealing, it will never be d...

Here is what I'd do: go to forum index, locate "Project Subforums" --> "Tech Annihilation" --> "Source code and issue tracker" and find this page https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=39072 There you can find a link to the issues bugtracker: https://githu...

Check out https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/CrashReports/issues and trace back the source files on how it operates.
I expect someone being so fanatic about open source to be able to master wget jq and elementary level bash scripting.

You can do it all. Please split.

I don't see why anyone would spend their time (which is very-very scarce) on something that is not forward looking. Quite opposite: we are moving towards catching up of what the industry has been enjoying past 15 years. This means we eventually will set hardware/driver standards higher, not lower. O...

what prevents you from creating the 105.0 release with github actions? I can't. Firstly enabling GH actions required quite a bit of changes to various CMakeLists.txt and minor changes to source files. Secondly I reworked CMakeLists such that spring is built with aggressive optimization flags (like ...

There is nothing proprietary in GH actions. It's just a workflow that executes scripts one by one. As AF said any qualified individual can move the script to any platform including self-hosted in one day. The reasons I chose GH actions were: it's the platform spring and BAR hosted their source code ...

It is time to just forget win32 engines ever existed. Makes life easier.

@abma, you are the last person out of active spring developers not using Discord.

I want to see restrictions on using old engines removed. You are free to want whatever you want. But here you can only politely ask. Others asked the same before and the answer was always "no". Nothing has changed since then, quite opposite spring leads decided to move forward with the ne...

As agreed before, it's based off the maintenance + new GL. New GL is working from Lua (as you saw on the previous picture from me), but the interface is unstable. Old GL works as before. I was going to put together a PR for the transition branch soon after we start playing on BAR branch at a full sc...

https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring-static-libs https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring so, the transition branch is history / could be dropped? (for historical reasons i would keep it) No, not at all. BAR branch (the one above) is the testing ground for the transition API/implementation...

wrt github actions: is this doable at all to create a linux static build as it currently is? the build environment is VERY custom because of the static libs and compiling all libs from scratch takes a lot of time and is very instable when downloads have to be made from multiple servers. Yes it's po...

questions/suggestions? Short term I'm concerned with glibc version issue. It might affect the adoption rate of the future stable as I envisioned 105 to be the engine for everyone. Ideally 105 should be built with old build nodes, then after 105 is released, additional breaking changes could be impo...

I'm actually exploring the same issue with my builds. We build on Ubuntu 18.04 worker and today someone popped up trying to run it on 16.04. Obviously it didn't run. I don't want to switch workers to 16.04 (though probably can). I tried to quickly hack the wpring ELF file to reference lower version ...
