Spring RTS Engine

I'm still here, I'm just trying to work part time and study full time as well as settle into a new city. Not easy (its been 6 weeks and I'm still on an inflatable mattress...) Haven't forgotten about IW either - I still manage to pop my head into the IW IRC channel most days

amazing work spike

Cough

The aging thing does bother me a bit, a couple of years ago IW was looking (in my opinion) better than some other professionally produced RTS games on the market, especially the Star Wars ones.

Kinda... I'm studying fine woodworking/furniture design. Got sick of sitting behind a computer staring at CAD all day long. Will probably go back to architecture but take a more hands-on approach.

I'm still lurking. I moved cities and semi-switched professions so been a little busy of late. But still around.

No worries - I'm moving to a different city so gotta see how quickly things calm down there.

LOS = happy in pants

is there a significant performance hit?

cheers smoth, you pretty much covered it.

Working through some RL stuff atm, please be patient

Anyone who's got some previous work to show me (ie: can do what they say) and is offering help can have access to the repository. As discussed earlier in this thread, the beta if released now wouldn't really be a beta, it'd be more of a demo. If I can get IW into a workable state I'd release it as a...

Yeah, I'd always wanted to do one, it'd just be a huge amount of work for a gimmicky map. Especially once I saw agorm's tree map and realised you could have huge building features like that, as well as the 'void' floating island type maps. I'd do it as something like the old 'over crude water' style...

Looks real nice kaiser

now make coruscant

We have had a couple of beginners offer help. Basically, we'd love to bring you aboard - but you're going to have to be responsible for your own learning. We can point you in the right direction and give you some tips, but generally given the amount of work remaining it would be quicker to just do t...

A little here and there. I need to buy a new laptop so that I can run spring properly again.

Resistance is futile, your humour will be assimilated

Hey, if you can animate for TA, we need your help animating our walkers etc with SW:IW

Yeah, sketchup was designed with making 3D design highly accessible through an extremely simple interface. For sketch design in architecture, it is excellent, especially for people who don't have a lot of digital training. Using it for constructing computer game geometry is like using lego to build ...

Yeah, I had the xps m1330 as my last one It lasted about 2.5-3 years, had a few problems but was generally ok. Was nice and portable but considering the amount of time I spent staring at it, I should've opted for a bigger screen, which I will this time around. I don't know if I loved it enough that ...

yeah, not going for a mac.
