Spring RTS Engine

You could deactivate selfdestruction? Its just a tag.. Oh, and game names... make something with A at the start so its top of the list For the moment I'm just going to call it Domination, it's short, it sounds strong and it's exactly what it is. You have to capture the most objectives to win, so yo...

Idd , there is , thnx that saves me some code :)

Small WIP update, I roughly implemented a real size map, pathway_v2. Next up was balancing the units. But tbh I have no clue what I'm doing with it. How do I decide how much armor I will give it, how does one value of damage relate to one real ingame value of damage. How big are ranges actually etc....

Good change, I personally found it weird anyhow asking array.getn() and not getting the real amount of elements if there is a small gap somewhere.

Be aware that assuming the state of a command will change one frame after it is toggled will not work due to the way multiplayer is synchronised. The gamestate is synchronised by computers sending all commands to each other and executing them within the same frame. This means the commands you give ...

local updateRequired = true function widget:CommandsChanged() updateRequired = true end function widget:DrawScreen() if updateRequired then updateRequired = false ... Update buttons etc ... end ... Normal :DrawScreen code ... end This is the pattern to use, especially for when commands are changing...

- In ClickFunc you need to say to Spring engine next active command with Spring.SetActiveCommand(index,1,left,right,alt,ctrl,meta,shift). Incase of a move or attack command , this command seems to be bound to the mousecursor, incase of a statecommand it seems to execute either at the end of the cur...

This is similar in concept to BT I am working on, in that it is based on multiple CTF with ticket drain to determine winner, no base mechanics (we use a single permanent indestructible building), revolving around tactical play and using various forms of "special bonus features" for flag c...

Little WIP update,

Accomplished
- Implemented a status bar when hovering over units showing hp, and weapons damage, range
- Wrote 2 tutorials for chili

Things to do
- balance units
- implement a real map with a config file
- find a name for the game

basic tutorial is written btw

http://springrts.com/wiki/UI:Development

lesson 2 is ready any feedback is appreciated

yes, agree with flozi. just had forgetten - and _ work in page names. Saw you made Lesson_1_:_Hello_World , imo always prefix with chiliUI or similiar, otherwise it gets confusing if there is a guide on something else. (ie mapping) Also I would not include numbers in the page name, ordering can be ...

Yeah, I'd suggest: Chili-HelloWorld as the page name. (We really need to decide on some standards re. :, _, - use in wiki page names) You should also learn to use the <code> and <pre> tags, I might take a look at sprucing it up and correcting any English errors. Great work though! :-) Well i'm plan...

It's been a few days now, and I've learned quite a bit I don't need this tutorial anymore. In fact I wrote a basic one of my own. Can you tell me what you think of it , before I write the next more advanced once with text changing and commands in a seperate window http://springrts.com/wiki/UI:Develo...

ok little progress update on this WIP http://www.gravegast.be/~sunspot/temp/test.png as you can see the ui is comming along. There are a few things I still like to do, a status bar below , that shows unit info when you hover over a unit Things done - commands seperated in 3 windows - build commands ...

Guys, first, please give me a link where I can found this ChiliUI. Even S44 don't want chili, for me that's can be a good start to see how stuff works. I search how to start an UI, I found threads related to ICEui, here people said forget it and use Chili, now you speak about new widgethandler. sec...

Spring.SetActiveCommand sets the command on the mouse cursor iirc. I think what you want is Spring.GetOrderToUnit(unitID, cmdID, params, opts). This executes any command. Although I don't quite understand the question. Well my problem is the following. I have put all commands of a selection of unit...

K I believe I know what I was doing wrong Spring.SetActiveCommand(index,1,left,right,alt,ctrl,meta,shift) doesn't execute a command or so , it just says , the next active Command is said command. But I don't get it then, who actually executes the command ? I suppose in the case of move and attack it...

Look in this file for a function called to_string. I got it from the web somewhere and modified it slightly. It will output a table's contents. http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/source/browse/trunk/mods/zk/LuaUI/Widgets/gui_epicmenu.lua# Nice thnx CarRepairer, that is gonna help me out. Anyhow I'm ca...

This is will be a new Thumbscrew in our arsenal of nub torturing. "But sunspot had his game completed after two weeks, why isnt yours?" lol, you drama queen :) first of all I'm raping cavedog's IP by using their units and animations, second this is not my first endeavour in learning somet...
