Spring RTS Engine

I hope ya guys like it :) BTW, I have to rip all the atmospheric settings since I can't figure it out my self, how do I fi...

I just wallpaper my base with Defenders and Samsons, that keeps them off, and while the gunships are distracted by that, have the flakkers dish the real pain...I am talking about a lot of SAMs though. Last night I had a game and I succesfully defended against Rapier rushes like that, however, Brawle...

WOW that's great! will it work on other types of weapons too?

It reminds me of scorched earth's magnetic shield type thing.

Will this new code support a larger amount of textures or larger textures?

I am quite frustrated with the 2048x2048 texture file that puts all the textures in there.

I definitly agree on being able to give commands in FPS mode. I also agree with strafe modes in particular units like Kbots and even Vehicles, I have suggested before that the chassis can just make a 90° turn to the side which it's strafing while the turret remains pointed forward, movement would...

Yeah, converted it to BMP, but when I exported it as raw it was inverted :)

http://img269.echo.cx/img269/7897/screen36tm.jpg Not a serious attempt, I will probably not publish it, this was just a test map for my self to master the process. I used the lightning effects from Sunset Ridge (since I really liked it) and this is the result, the moutains are a bit too high since ...

2048x2048 for the main texture file, height map was 257x257, the metalmap is the same.

This map is just a test map really, hence the small size.

I have been experimenting with making spring maps, my map works great, but my 257x257 metalmap file is miss-alligned, it alligns perfectly with the height map which is exactly the same size, what am I doing wrong?!

Don't mind Buggi, he has been tortured many times on TAU message boards i'm sure. Good attempt but I can clearly see that you might want to work on your Terragen skills :) the spikes are a bit ugly looking and quite unnatural. I'm not attacking you, just giving you some constructive criticism on you...

Well, This is a tiny but funny bug, a unit got down to 0 health and it was still alive and it repaired it self thanks to the spring engine, the unit probably had a behind the decimal amount of health left!

I was quite intriqued with this.

Nitrous is a buddy of mine that works on TA:1945, an advanced mod.

I was kinda hoping it was him, but I doubt he'd be making maps, he's too busy with school and his mod :)

Nitrous? that you mate?

???! that tag works more than perfect for me!

how do you render terragen maps from top-down perspective? I can only get 75 degrees down, never 90...what am I doing wrong? how do I convert terragen redered pictures to the spring format? I'd really like to get my hands dirty :)

So, What is Sandbox mode?

It's better to explain the bug in the subject
Any details on what you were attacking?

i'm considdering uninstalling my video drivers and just reinstall...I use a FX 5700.

I atleast want to be able to enable shadows so I can make some decent screenshots...

Maestro made the T-80, the Su-27 and updated many of the textures on structures.

We are doing our best :)

Did any GeForce users get shadows enabled?
