Spring RTS Engine

Strange problem here :o System: Ubuntu Game: BA 9.40 , using static binaries of the engine (103, but tested also with 100 and fitting BA version) and self-compiled springlobby binaries. If I use springlobby 0.255 and try to issue an attack command over an area (select "attack" and draw rec...

Thanks for the update and all the effort you put in!
On a first quick try: no problems.

In my mind the ideal method is to have the other player(s) git clone into a .sdd, which is what we tried first. Has anyone done that successfully? Never tried, but could this be the problem, that the hidden repository files change the checksum? Or do you mean sync errors in the game after a while o...

I seem to recall an old outstanding unitsync or lobby issue where the description tag was required to be in an .smd file. I remember some problems with maps related to the map server and them not being picked up by some systems or sth. like this. For this it was sufficient to include a basically em...

Thanks, that's good to know

I think I will still have first a look at the other rocks (if only to get a bit more insight into the modelling stuff).

Great, thanks a lot, bunch of useful infos to get me started! I already planned to do some first steps into models and started reading the wiki pages. Upspring doesn't run on wine, but I anyway planned to get again a VM with Win running here. Unfortunately, I'm very busy at work right now (=overtime...

I don't get it. On the one hand you say use spring-features as dependency and that it makes problems if I don't. On the other hand, you say I could include in the map "defs or textures, hell even models" , since they override the spring-features files. Which is how I always understood it: ...

Thanks for the update! Unfortunately, even with the new version it still looks the same here :-( To make sure, I tried both with the dependency on spring-features 1.7 and with copying the new s3o files (and the rest) directly from the repository into the map (removing the dependency). But still the ...

What rocks are those? Noize? Last time I looked they were fine, I'll look again when I get home. Yes, from Noize. Detailed list of files a few posts above . With the original texture it's not so obvious, since this is already on the darker side. But I also tested with the original texture and also ...

[Solved] just saw that spring-features is on github

EDIT: But also the features from the new version show the same problem

True, that's why I wrote "if you want to be 100% correct" . Maybe I should have phrased it "110%" but that hurts my math understanding :wink: when the maps contain no copyright info i would assume that they are public domain as they were uploaded to springfiles. ... the alternati...

Also, let me state for the record, that any maps that get hit by this that are actually popular will end up getting recompiled in pretty much no-time. The others... well, good riddance. That what I was thinking. I would surely take on the maps I usually play and do the adjustments for them (probabl...

I tried to download the 1.6 version, but to no success so far. Somehow, since for testing wildly switching between springlobby versions -including non-released ones-, this doesn't work anymore here :-( Still investigating how to fix this... So I looked here: http://api.springfiles.com/?springname=&a...

OK, trying your suggested lightning values made clear why :-) But now the white is extremely bright, so I have to adjust at other places (diffuse, maybe a bit sun colour). Also specularity was a bit high at some places, but toning down specularExponent helped there a bit. And the new values helped m...

... I just feel that the lighting is quite off. ... Both unit and groundambient should be around 0.3, as that defines the brightness of completely shadowed areas. The shadow densities are better at [0.7,1.0], and the diffuse gets added to the ambient. Thanks for the tip! :-) I have to admit, that I...

Basic texturing was done with Springmapedit that doesn't allow for this :wink: But also the real painted desert has rather straight color bands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Painted_Desert_2_700px.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/9e/7f/5c/9e7f5c355d5d2b078d3eb0a8c11d448b.jpg http:...

After all the updating of maps, here's a new one. Wanted to try the the new Detail Normal Texture Splatting. Link to Springfiles Inspired by Painted Desert. Probably works for 3v3 up to 5v5. Includes the option to adjust the water level in 3 steps from dry to flooded (+ other usual map options from ...

Updated on request also the 3.1 version to 3.2 including the updated mapoptions display widget which disables itself when ZK is detected.

Just FYI: I noticed that the widget clashes with the map blueprint if the options "dawn" or "night" are used. Infolog error message: [f=0000000] Failed to load: gfx_volumetric_clouds.lua (error = 2, mapinfo.lua, error = 2, mapconfig/mapinfo/10_dawn.lua, [string "return mapin...

Updated King of the Hill game mode scripts of both maps: Simple 6 Way on springfiles Cage Fight on springfiles (detailed game mutator description on the springfiles pages) Updates for version 1.2: Fixed that BA fences (Dragon's Teeth and Fortification Wall) were recognized as units and could keep th...
