Spring RTS Engine

Vista sucked, 7 didn't suck so bad, Nobody liked 8, so I imagine we are due for a good one again.

I would venture to say that zipping the file and than rename it gamefolder.sdd actually worked :| That's not orthodox but it did work for me... Wacky! Generally we use .sdz for zip-compressed folders, .sd7 for 7zip-compressed folders and .sdd for non-compressed folders... it probably works the way ...

you could at least know we can handle deformation.

I was thinking about mesh based terrain being affected by the same deformation mechanism as the current terrain.

If we are playing wish-list you could have force passed as a ray traced vector and allow the map's Lua script handle deformation.

I think the "simplest" solution would be: Texture/Tiles as images (alpha for transparency or blending) Lua script to place/set everything including Textures/Tile locations, Heights, Trees, Geos, Metal, Grass, Features, Details, Starting Locations etc.with support for using [some raw bitmap...

The only issue is i cant find a competitive 1v1 playerbase on spring, and sadly there is one in PA, thats the only reason i play that game. And even though there arent official ladders and official tournaments the community is way more active and competitive. EDIT: rank 4 now That's a really tellin...

Link in body, Link in signature.

Checked out a few tracks (not developing anything right now, was just curious)... got a CDROM era vibe going on that I dig.

I'm sure I knew that... what's the Rocketeer then?

Sorry, clearly you are correct, Diesel Punk would be a better fit

You know what WOULD work though? A WW1 era Steam Punk game.

to be clear, you do need access to a "lobby server" but you do not need access to the Internet... what you call the "spring hub" is just a "lobby server" that is available over the Internet. if I were to state it as a feature request it would go something like "Cou...

I don't know of an RTS game/engine better suited to plopping a card-game over top of... totally doable because SpringRTS exposes all the hooks you need to do whatever you want over top of the game.

Quoting Myself From Posting This on G+: I had the day to myself and last night decided I needed to make a game... I wanted to make a puzzle game that wasn't like other puzzle games so I thought about all the things I've seen in puzzle games and came up with an idea that didn't have those things. Thi...

So a 1 footprint is 16 height map pixels is 16 whatever units you save the model in?

If you want to keep the concept of roads you could just make the roads a (forget the words) ground-type and have the robot command place change the movedefs of all the affected units so they get a bonus to movement on that ground-type when activated (this would be non-trivial as I'm pretty sure move...

They are releasing a single player "campaign" in weekly instalments, the first is free but only until the end of the event... the others cost money or in game gold (so you could conceivably grind for it).

If you haven't tried Hearthstone (or tried it and then left it) this would be a good month to try it again.

Hijacking this thread because Google is totally trying to solve the "battery problem" (or at least one of them)
