Spring RTS Engine

Comp1337 Try typing: /water 3 into the console It does a refresh, which seems to cure it for me (for the new refractive code, that is) NOTE: Oops, that's probably unrelated. I get the same problem with SMF maps when running with the refractive water rendering setting. Dunno, might help with your SM...

Hmm, could we have user defined option which allows to turn off all transparency in the GUI?

Shift+> ?

Im writing the code, if you can implement it ?

Huh? Are you asking if I'll commit it if you write it?

esteroth12 Yup, /font does what you think it does. I've also tweaked the font code to allow characters up to the numeric value 254 to be used. As to why a factory would be displaying my FPS ... I'm going with artistic license (aka: my crappy test setup). Note that the FPS value is updated in real t...

LUA based button name and tooltip translation:

Ah, the drop-shadow. I can easily add an option in ctrlpanel.txt to disable it.
(the control panel button text does not use the new outline fonts technique)

Caydr I haven't set it up so that you can change default command names, yet. A more important aspect to this would be that it would allow for some internationalization (would need to do the tooltips too). If I don't get to it, make yourself some On/Off textures, sized to your liking. P.S. Tried har...

Stroke = texture ?
The whole point of using a LUA script is configurability.
You can assign any texture you want to any button. You
could even use a build picture for your Stop command if
you so desired.

Here's a screenshot of a feature that's almost ready to commit. You'll be able to control how buttons are layed out, and how they look by using a LUA script. That means that you can setup a "command" menu, a "build menu", etc... The commands can also be given a background texture...

Hold Shift with your cursor over the builder.

chlue:
You've tested on how many configurations?
(screen size, minor GL filtering variations, etc...?)

It isn't worth doing until the fonts are improved.

You could already cycle through the building types, this
classing system just makes it easier to setup the bindings.

The "sort" property in bindbuildtype determines the order
of the cycling.

chlue: The current font system doesn't make it easy to render small fonts nicely. Those kinds of changes will have to wait for a larger rework. TradeMark: The outline font option (no background colors), is a bit of a hack. It should only be used if it doesn't cause rendering slowdowns (there's a re...

Yup, that's a fairly good description. It doesn't just work for builders making buildings though, the same bindings also apply to factories making units (ex: selecting an advanced kbot factory and hitting the stealth binding will send out a spy bot). Also note that the same mex build binding will pr...

Another key binding feature has been added to SVN. The bindunittype keyword can be used to bind a keyset to a class of units that you define. You can also setup the order that will be used to cycle through the list of unit types that meet your requirements. Here is an example: http://trepan.homelinu...

The code has been adjusted so that key commands will
work even while the GUI is hidden (try 0.73b1 release 3).

Here's another experiment to try: 1. Use .cheat 2. Type ".give 400 armpw" 3. Give them to the enemy 4. Type ".give 64 armthund" (somewhere away from the peewees) 5. Put the bombers into FireAtWill / Maneuver (or Roam) modes. 6. Send the bombers over the peewees with a move comman...

The source in SVN has been modified so that the GameInfo
panel now displays gravity in its original units (ie: its now fixed)

Another tiny option:

Acidd_UK / Persh The cmdcolors.txt file has been updated in SVN. Note these additions in the Command Queue Rendering section: useQueueIcons 1 queueIconAlpha 0.5 queueIconScale 1.0 I do not want to "over-option" the code, but those seemed like reasonable items to include in the list of con...

Zoombie/FizWizz: I implemented the fillOrder configuration parameter just after posting that pic. You can tell the icon layout code which order you'd like the icons placed (by position, not by type). This isn't ideal, as different sets of units will have different commands available to them, but it...
