Spring RTS Engine

Also, lets say I create a gadget in evo that can do anything you want it to do, including giving you a handjob while you play, but I make it hard as fuck to use and even harder to implement in anything besides evo. Exactly how generous was I in the first place? (In case you didn't notice, this is a...

With a bit of refining and enough users, quickmatching can prevent games from becoming larger than the players' preference. Of course this would only reduce the game size if enough players want small games.

+1

2 means it wants at least a 2 player game. Rank 1 means smurf, people probably use it in parallel with SL.

Fixed too, but the fixed version is not yet released. Yeah very annoying

I like this, and Ill test it as soon as I get a chance. Can it detect wether FFA mode modoption is set? I dont mean to add bloat to it, since I can also just filter for maps. What's the FFA mode modoption? We were planning to assume that FFAs are played on marked FFA maps. I think Springie has a li...

yes. atm its often with for example CA, that there is one 8 player game going on and 8 other players are in the battleroom waiting for the game to finish. quickmatch should somehow encourage these players to get a second game going instead of waiting.. Logic I could see: if there exists enough Quic...

does it host new battle according to users preferences and make them join or it just joins existing battle that fit the requirements ? It joins an existing battle. Creating a new battle will most likely make the wait longer. After you select a mod and a minimum amount of players, I hope you meant m...

Quickmatching system for Spring Got some time to play? Just pick a mod, set the game size, crack open a cold beer and sit back. Gone are the days of looking for mods, maps, picking teams and getting ringed senseless! How to get it It's part of SpringDownloader which comes with Spring, but if you do...

Well it is harder for tool makers who can only run php, which seems to be a problem specific to you. Maybe ask for help in hosting a lua interpreter? Run it on your computer and upload data files to your site?

As a tool maker, I think lua defs are easier to read. Just run the top file in the mod with a lua interpreter, it will read everything and work for every mod that works in Spring, because that's exactly what Spring does when loading a mod. You'll need a couple of lua functions spring has, but they a...

Making a campaign is a terrible idea. CA is designed as a multiplayer game and has no clear relative advantage in singleplayer. We have no singleplayer development experience. Decent singleplayer content is extremely time consuming to create, even with ideal tools, and maintaining the missions might...

I think the hittable volume is the intersection of hitsphere and footprint. That means that if the hitsphere is larger than the footprint (likely), increasing the hitsphere size will not make the unit more vulnerable. False. Footprint is purely for pathing and unit avoidance. Last time I tried, a u...

Maybe canfight=true in the the unit definition file is enough.

The editor isn't working with the latest versions of spring, so don't bother. Anyway, I don't think it's an EE problem, there might be a bug that makes the program crash when there is a corrupted or missing zip somewhere. It should support any mod as long as the Lua doesn't conflict (at least when t...

Most CA devs are very experienced players turned game designers, many of which realized that Lua is often the only way to materialize your design. You'll find CA's game design very consistent and fine-tuned, definitely not a coder sandbox. The GUI, however, fits your description. It's a collection o...

CA is likely to make tutorial faster than BA

CA devs are busy with various project, I don't think we'll have a tutorial any time soon (other than the existing tutorial widget).

Tutorial missions that aren't extremely simple are very time-consuming and need to be updated often. IMO chickens as a learning tool are a better option. We'd need a 1-click chicken shortcut that just works.

In case it's not clear, nobody was banned that day.
