Re: Keep Spring engine usable by all

I'm not familiar no; my guess from context is they fall out of popularity as other mods implement new features, improvements and changes the community prefer. No, you guessed very wrong. At the time, BA was still the most popular game on the spring server. Playeractivity was comperable to zero-K. I...

Re: bitcoin in 2021

For spring there already is/was a BTC wallet but seems not used anymore: http://bitref.com/1Fkh88PPvCYgZxR2gfEGPxNQJ5hZxqVFhn Also anyone interested in the more complex operations of trading I would strongly suggest to first try with simulated money.

Re: War Machines RTS

Fwiw I (wrote most of and) licensed my final version of these death messages here as WTFPL: https://github.com/Balanced-Annihilation-Reloaded/BAR.sdd/blob/master/luarules/configs/death_messages.lua#L1. In any case the legality of an unknown and long dead fork from a project that was copyleft anyway...

Re: bitcoin in 2021

I do not see bitcoin becoming a useful currency anytime soon. To be honest, I am think tradionital money is functioning pretty okay. Some currencies get their value from being backed by gold. Some currencies get their value from general trust and acceptance. Bitcoin currently gets its value because ...

Re: update #newbies topic

Make sure to note that Zero-K and BAR have also moved to their own servers (some players I've seen come back haven't played since CA renamed to ZK even). iirc there was another game on its own server, but I can't remember. This about answering the questions that got spammed in lobby chat during the...

Re: Wiki Update

I have no tracks to cover :lol: You say that you were against botflag and minimum engine versions. I found no post where you ever spoke out against that, so why do you claim that now? (other then your mild rage when you suddendly noticed that the restrictions did affect you, too. but that was years...

Re: Why are images blocked on forum?

I wanted to do a showcase on wiki That is nice but "they" have already deleted the old gallery. Instead they just want links to games websites. Meanwhile official server and website are made less and less acttrative. What part of the Spring infrastructure would you most want to work on im...

FLOZi wrote: 28 Jan 2021, 13:39 Just TA derived, not BA derived, from what I can see.
Where do you see that?
I see:
same team-died messages as in BA.
unitdef files as lua-files (no lua in TA) and some numbers are same as in BA

Sadly BA's git history was messed up, makes it harder to compare.

Re: War Machines RTS

They list 4 teammembers actually. I downloaded it but it required account creation with email, for singleplayer: Too much hassle. The updater worked though. So I did not play it, but: It is just BA with different textures? And some new or reworked maps. I openend the mod-file and from the scriptname...

Re: Why are images blocked on forum?

After reading the old thread from 2018: Everything Flozi asks now, was already ignored in the old thread. There once was a "media gallery" but it was nuked without replacement. Actually the old gallery-system seems superstrange: with uploaded to a subforum and threads moved around by moder...

Re: Why are images blocked on forum?

Of course uploading images as attachment is safer for longterm, nobody questioned that. I found it interessting to browse the "random WIP" threads because those are the closest thing spring has to a showcase gallery. However I lost interest because opening every picture manually is so anno...

Re: Use your joystick with spring

I meant that the engine versions you tried were maybe too new, not the gamepads.

It seems to have been quite incomplete anyway, for example how were multiple gamepads supposed to work? No way to get info about gamepads? (number of buttons and axis etc)

Re: Wiki Update

Maybe kloot is the only active core engine developer because no sane person wants to join a project where people use their position to blackmail others. The strange thing is how people like you happily support such behaviour. Until you were affected by restrictions too, whooopsie. If something was w...

Re: Wiki Update

You are vastly overestimating my level of engagement, now that you showed to be a post-faking troll.

Devs get their way by threating to stop development.
So why should users not use the same tactic?
