Spring RTS Engine

I think they still fit here as part of a "wider spring community" (same as ZK), because: - they use a recent fork of the spring engine that's MORE backwards compatible with the official 105.0 (and most games) than the official 106.0 - many of the people involved are the same that have been...

Dealing with recurring negativity and drama can be very draining for devs and players alike, but....For what it's worth, I agree. I think permabans should be reserved for special cases that are more destructive (like deliberately breaking infrastructure, disabling servers and such). It might be a go...

0.273 is the latest springlobby version.

Release the 3do2s3o.lua script needed to migrate to the new engine. I just downloaded the latest BAR105 engine release here https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring/releases/tag/spring_bar_%7BBAR105%7D105.1.1-1420-g99dd383 (it's from today) ...and started a battle of metal factions 1.96 (uses al...

I think Spring should provide the draw functions that every game (and some widgets even) used to define, so widgets can draw with functions like Spring.GFX.DrawRectangle() and the engine sets up the shaders, manages a vertex buffer for the widget and does whatever neccessary to draw the rectangle. ...

Hi, Since a few days ago I've been making changes to Springfiles and deploying them on the server for testing. - Added form to delete content (requires authenticating with the same user that uploaded it) - Modified the upload/delete form pages to fit better with the website visually sf_delete1.jpg s...

uptime 19:00:06 up 5 days, 8:56, 1 user, load average: 0.42, 0.43, 0.38 Someone rebooted the server 5 days ago, maybe the changes that caused the issue happened then. I ran this on the server python3 -m pip install pillow Collecting pillow Downloading Pillow-9.2.0-cp39-cp39-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl...

atm theres luaAI.lua which allows game devs to specify luaAI options and follows this format return { { name = 'AI NAME 1', desc = 'AI DESCRIPTION 1' }, { name = 'AI NAME 2', desc = 'AI DESCRIPTION 2' }, ... A validAIs.lua could use a similar format, but list external AIs and use regex on the AI nam...

Since planning to swap to BAR engine you are no longer neutral and have begun randomly praising BAR in addition to speaking out against opposing voices. You have to do this to get special treatment and receive secret scripts such as 3do2s3o.lua that is used to gatekeep other mods from updating to t...

Arguably the drama you and other people kept reviving has done way more damage than the original decisions that triggered it... Many others, including the people you're trying to restrict, are also part of "official spring" given the history. I disagree with 1, 2, 3. Their involvement on c...

I am concerned about new maps relying on game-specific quirks or features from new engine versions which won't fallback properly on 105.0. But who's responsible for this? Is it even reasonable to expect people that downloaded and are playing some game and start making maps for it account for quirks ...

And many games going on besides the "big teams room" too!

Congratulations!

The metal spots work on BA/BAR and MF, but do not work on ZK. I renamed the mex spot file because it now includes geothermal spots as well because a gadget uses that to figure out where to put the geothermal decals. You could fix it game-side for all my maps by modifying Luarules/Gadgets/mex_spot_fi...

Instead of starting from scratch, try modding an existing game. I recommend checking the structure of a spring game package on the wiki, here and downloading and trying various games. You can unzip .sd7 or .sdz game packages with 7zip and put the contents on a <yourGame>.sdd directory within your .....

... C:/Users/me/Documents/My Games/Spring but SpringLobby does not find them (yes, it does find the engine though). A.sdd , B.sdd and C.sdd need to be placed on " C:/Users/me/Documents/My Games/Spring/ games ", maybe that's your issue. People generally start games through the lobby client...
