Spring RTS Engine

How about removing the ability to spectate altogether by refusing non-player connections?

https://springrts.com/wiki/Ubuntu_install needs updating (I guess) and some trimming of old sections.

I can still see my bots in the channels they are present in, both via IRC bridge and via springlobby.

nice to see SpringRTS still alaive (last time i was around 2012 imho ..)
looks only a couple of mods is still active maintained (from the "last post" dates in the forum .....)

1. Games not mods
2. A lot of games have their own forums now.

Perhaps kill -STOP spring-dedicated? And then reconnect fast after kill -CONT.

It was not me, usually Code_Man is the one to run the updater and yes, it would be possible to automate. Its just ... if no one bothers to update it, who will bother to regularly check that the game is not totally broken?

No, updates have always been manual.

CursedBot_1 is now using Spring 104.0.

All other games use <104 and I don't have a gigabyte free on the server. As far as the account cleanup is concerned, it is a direct result of bad retention. And that is a direct result of clearing old accounts instead of having their emails and mailing them reminders when they had not showed up for ...

The new uploader account has 2h of spectator time, hopefully this will work. I think patching 104 will be easier than clearing 1GB.

At this rate we'll reach 1.000 in no time!

@bibim can you set default maxPlayers to 10? These issue threads will continue until it is made default.

Mapboxes have been updated.

Spring 104 as standard is possible, but will take some time for me to clear 1GB disk space or patch it around for it to start.

Uploading does not work because the uploader account has been deleted again. I'll try getting some ingame time on it to fix it for a few years.

I've copied the boxes file from rapid2, current contents are https://think.nsupdate.info/s44/misc/ra ... dBoxes.dat

ah, but the cursed uses a different set of maps (maplist), so option 2 will not work for those and someone would still have to go through and do it on the 10 remaining maps.

The only reset possible is deleting the saved boxes file => no boxes on any map.

Options:
1) someone goes through all ~200 maps and defines boxes
2) boxes are copied over from the most used host, worldatwarII_rapid

To further clarify, at least 10 minutes was spent trying to move UI elements such that they don't overlap each other. This was possible for all but that triangle reclaim/load/drop/... menu.
