Re: Spring Site 2

While a good backend is very important, don't discount the importance of a good frontend. When I visit a site, and it's got really bad looking front page, I have a very (Very!) strong urge to just close the page. The other big point is CLEAR navigation from one place to another on the site. Everythi...

Seriously .. in open source, only "dead" projects are "finished". Everything alive is consntly evolving/improving. There is no end. In the project the size of mod you can always find something to improve or extend. You seem to be still very new to this community (judging by inga...

Re: CA and the primary mod

And before someone gets really mad at me... I'm not trying to bash CA. I don't hate them all for no real reason. I personally am not a fan of the mod, but I'm trying to unbiased and provide objective feedback. For example, what I said about releasing an unfinished product would stand for anything, i...

Re: CA and the primary mod

[quote="Saktoth"]The whole of spring is 'beta'. CA plays quite well, and in areas we are innovating we can only ensure the game stays fun if its being played. All the devs actively play the game, its where we get our ideas. That's a bit of a generalization. BA is pretty much a finished pro...

The next step is to remove them all from TASclient. :P


Seriously though, it's covered with them. It's naturally very confusing to new users when all the Lobby links are broken.

CA pros: Nicer GUI More user-friendly More noob-friendly Nicer effects Several remodels(I'm not a huge fan of them, as they depart to much from the TA style, but then again, CA is trying to be different than TA. :/) BA pros: BALANCE Player base Faithful to TA(It's because of this that I think, even...

Re: Showcasing spring to new users (feedback)

you could make a nice flash video tutorial with http://www.debugmode.com/wink/download.php for the new players and the lobby could show it at the first start ... While it's not a bad idea, people tend to ignore intro/tutorial videos.(Myself included.) That's why things like this need to be integrat...

Re: Showcasing spring to new users (feedback)

Yeah, something definitely needs to be done about the intuitive-ness of the whole setup. I've directed a lot of people towards Spring, but only a couple of them have stayed. One, who used to be a die-hard TA fan so naturally he was hooked on first sight. The other was very computer-savvy and willing...

This is why I hate joining the lobby. Fucking spammers everywhere, going 'JOIN MY GAME' or 'GET CA'. Quit it already. If I want to join a game, I'll join one. If I want to get CA I'll get it.

Re: CA X BA discussion

One of the main reasons I like BA is becuase it's most like OTA. The main reason I downloaded Spring in the first place was because I've always been a huge fan of TA. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best RTS ever made(And it doesn't look like that's about to change, I haven't seen a good looking R...

Someone was mentioning something about unitsync.dll not being found correctly by settings.exe... you might want to rerun that and see if it helps? Nothin'. I even deleted unitsync.dll and re-installed. Still nothing. :( or maybe you're banned :) That wouldn't close the lobby, though, that'd just gi...

I just re-installed the lobby, and it still happens.

Any other ideas? :(

Re: Lobby crashes as soon as I log in

I just tried AFLobby, and it did the exact same thing. So it's not the lobby itself, maybe it has something to do with the server?

And I ran the game with SpringSP and it started up fine.

There's nothing to tell, really.

After I click the log in button, it shows all the links and info for about half a second then it just closes. No errors or anything.

Lobby crashes as soon as I log in

I just downloaded the update, but when I open the lobby, it crashes as soon as it connects to the server.

Anyone know what it is?
