That's like saying a mental institution is a good place to pick nuclear missile control officers.

That's like saying, "setting myself on fire is a great way to heat the house in winter".

Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Keyboard movement is something from a bad simulation from the 1990's. How would you move then? Variable throttle? I don't really understand what you're saying here, keyboard movement is the only way to move, unless you want to bind movement to a mouse key. Moreover, the arrow keys are terrible, sin...

1. Control over Units is very poorly implemented. They won't turn to follow your mouse, instead you have to control them with the keyboard. Have the weapons that can bear auto-follow the mouse, and if you spin the POV faster than the controlled Unit can turn, you'll have to wait for it to get there...

Mod level no idea, but I've seen a fair amount of "Direct control of unitname is disabled", so it can be turned off.

Chad: I know you made this thread with the intended purpose of discussing improvements to the FPS system. However, this implies that there should be improvements to the FPS system. I'm arguing against that. Therefore, your argument about my posts being spam is, as I pointed out before, a fallacy; he...

Because the big money is in shooters, sports games, a handful of big-name strategy games and the occasional RPG. Oh, and in the Nintendo Wii.

SAGE is the engine used by C&C Generals and Tiberium Wars (3).

This thread is about how to improve it, so that it is useful to the game... That's like you going to a thread about something that's broken, and how it needs to be fixed/updated, and then posting that it's broken... Not only is that spamming, it's showing that you failed to read, or understand the ...

i was asking if someone can code for me at the start but i bet no one read my post propaly i have moded to cnc games and it was easy for me but cant do code on this one Sorry about that, I was following the track of the discussion, not responding to your initial post. That's another thing: every ga...

first off my mad is for my server not the spring one im hoping to relece a basic version of the mod after this one is done and i have about 32 people whating to have my game when its build and said i will pay between 0-30 for it That's not the issue. It's just that you'll have to make your mod enti...

There is a way to change weapons in FPS mode, but it's a workaround and you have to know it beforehand. Give the unit two different weaponsets, bind them to the On and Off states, then use ctrl+number to create a group for your one unit, enter FPS mode, select the group and use the X key to switch b...

It is already abuseable: you can use it to shoot over range. To support this: Back when WD was not yet lost in the mists of time, I used to play SP in that /send mode whatchamacallit just to muck about. I soon found I could use the ADATS (Air Defense Anti-Tank System, name says it all) in FPS mode,...

While the Spring engine is released under the GNU GPL, you don't need to release your mod under this license as the mod data is not a integral part of the engine. Still, we encourage you to do so. Please keep in mind that if you don't release your mod under the GPL you are legaly not allowed to tak...

The FPS mode is just a pointless gimmick anyway that does nothing useful. This is spam, and this shows that you've neglected to read my thread... Don't spam in my thread please... No it isn't spam, it's a refutation of the reasoning behind this thread. While I'm a big fan of FPS mode, I have to agr...

No thanks, they do that enough on their own already.

On the topic of immoral art and walls of text: I'm accidentally taking an art philosophy class at the moment, and we have to write a brief essay (500w) twice a week. Here are two of mine, considering, respectively, pornography, erotica and art and immoral art in general. I'd post only the last one, ...

You mean zones on maps? Hmm, could be very interesting..... You could simulate countries or control zones or something, would work nicely with S44 (and WD if it ever gets resurrected).
