Spring RTS Engine

I remembered Beherith made a really nice retexture of this map (with ssmf and lighting/atmosphere/water settings), and finally packaged it together. Took the opportunity to make the metal map configurable as well. http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-maps/green-river-confluence https://dl.dropboxuse...

never mind. just adapted cheesecan's lua metal spot widget to the purpose

if anyone wants it, it's here:
https://github.com/zoggop/SpringLuaGeoVents

Has someone already written a lua thing that paints a texture on the ground where the geovent features are, like some have done with metal spots? If not, I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard to adapt the metal spot one. (Since we already have the exact coordinates. There's no need to find spots.)

v3! goal of this map seems to be the blingiest metal spots

and then i turned off advmapshading and hit f1 where i found HEIGHTMAP STEPPING (of the 8bit variety). i forgot mapconv only likes .raw for 16 bit
fixed in springfiles upload (v2 now)

i think so? we'll see, i may have started a few too many spring projects recently

you're right--i didn't want to overdo the color vividness, but it could use a bit more (and less fugly metal spots). can't do better on its terms, but can make something w/o prebaked shadows and specularity and with ssmf

I like that it says it is learning... I really like the idea. Funniest part about its learning I've found is if you attack it with air on a map for a few games, it will spam AA. Er, much to its detriment. an AI that is capable to play a nice endgame with lvl3 units and stuff... my feeling is, that ...

haha, glad someone got it

it does, thank god

not bad, Beyond All Reason is very game-namey yet not utterly cliched, and it's not wallowing in the obvious or the franchise (doesn't include the words robot, metal, or annihilation). also the game really is beyond all reason, so it's kind of perfect.

looks like raaar's build plan checking is more efficient, but only checks for overlapping build plans of the same unitname. also buildsitehandler is intimately linked with turtlehandler , which keeps track of where to put defenses. anyway, all this work you've done, raaar, makes me tempted to conver...

How to use this widget? I installed it and even tryed to bind areaguard Areaguard is for a seperate but related widget https://github.com/zoggop/SpringBlobGuardWidget (in an even less completed state). This one only responds to units in groups. Also looks like widget don''t respects SHIFT(queueing)...

But LOS is an area and unit positions are points. Is there a fucntion to get that area other than manually checking all map? checking each unit's sight, radar, and sonar radii, and creaing a quad map with circular fill: https://github.com/zoggop/Shard/blob/master/data/ai/BA/loshandler.lua (of cours...

how reachable are low-defense high-eco positions from the immediate-movegoal of the hostile blob. i like this. i think i'll combine this with if the hostiles movegoal is behind my "lines" (perpendicular to the angle from one of my base blobs to their unit's position). i've already got a t...
