Spring RTS Engine

Buggi

The point of the Spring engine, if I remember correctly, was to create an engine based off of TA units and then expand that concept to new areas. I'd like to know what Spring can handle as far as poly counts. I like massive wars, so 5,000 units isn't out of the ordinary. MUAHAHHAHA!! Although, I add...

Dude, the source is available... see "downloads"

I've been looking into it for awhile. It seems a list of simple x,y,z coord's for features, as well as the id of the feature, is the basics of what's needed.

Buggi

No, we don't need ultimatums, we need good modelers and new tools. The main tools for the game were made 5+ years ago. Time to upgrade :D

I only wish I had more free time to develop some of this stuff. >_<

Buggi

You could always use Subversion Or Source Safe :P I think there should be "teams" for different aspects of the game. A core team, AI team, pathfinding team, unit scripting team, texture team... each responsible for their sections. The community at large are your testers :) As a small side ...

It's a pity so many modelers have gone away. I'd like to see some old units get a make-over. Eliminate the blockyness and really see what Spring can handle.

Ummmmm no
C# has as much to do with C++ as C++ has to do with C as it had to do with Algol... and so on.

I teach classes on C#. :) I'm fairly proficient at it.

WOHOO!!!!!!!!!

Where IS the commander script...
or, better yet, how do you change sides?

The first player in the commander script seems to always be arm, I wanna try some Core!

Buggi

Seems so many ppl have something against C#... *sigh*

I actually like the way spring does metal... I must be weird. Anyway, I saw the cry for a programmer, and, alas, I'm a programmer! And I've done map editors for past games (like pharaoh). I'll stay away from the core... But I can do some research on the spring map format and see what I can assist wi...

Buggi

so, basically

Code: Select all

while (alive)
{
   if (moving)
   {
      // move call
   }
   else
   {
      // idle call
   }
}

shouldn't there be a if(aiming) ?

I'd love to port this all to C#

*twitches*

Buggi

This sort of restriction must be solved quickly.

Lets just hope they save the unit and weapon ID's as something big...
like a uint64 sounds good

Buggi

Lets solve the intermediate problems first. As you can see by the very first shot, the "box" or green outline doesn't follow the ship at all... :shock: A screen long?!!! :O Wowsers! I like the bertha guns... Now, just to have someone create a dual gatling bertha gun... :twisted: MUAHAHHAHA...

Buggi

WHILE(TRUE)

just creates an infinite loop...

Some programmers like to do a
FOR(;;)

You have to bust out of those loops with break or return statements.

I'm tempted to dive into the code, but I know I'd be hooked for life. The CS degree in me is just screaming "MORE MORE MORE"
@.@;;

Buggi

All you need to do is move the UFO file into the spring root dir. (it'd be nice to have support for a "units" subdir) Now, on top of this, some units will require rescripting. I've found two units so far (the destroyer and the "big fat mama") that behave oddly when activated. Bot...
