Spring RTS Engine

I like it. The first scene with the Peewees/Mavericks on the mooncrater is cool. Also liked the camera following the gunships and the black-white scenes. Editing/scene selection is good too. But imagine this is the first you hear about Spring and are probally a bit sceptic because "its free and...

Spring checks if all players have the same version of the game,map and mod. So make sure you are using Spring 0.71b1 (see infolog.txt if you can play single player, it should say something like "TA Spring 0.71b1" in the third line) try using the default mod "XTA" on the default m...

Hi!

(first I thought it was a normal smiley, then I noticed the legs and omg!)

I think he cant see the difference between yellow and green because of his eyes or monitor..
I have no problem with different symbols.

not bad for a first model.
reminds me of the Gatling Turrets China has in C&C Generals.

I think the "base" (the pyramid thingy) where the top of the turrets rotates, should be bigger.

Level 2 Bombers, of neither side, do not seem overpowered to me. If you can manage it, they are good to kill important targets like berhas, or the enemy shipyard. BUT: To send a squadron of bombers deep inside the enemy base is always a risk, they might get shot down without killing the target and t...

Units can be given strange move/attack orders... http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/587/oh25hr.th.gif stairway to heaven, hm? The poor Rocko just walked to the nearest corner of the map. Thats how it can be done, works everytime: http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/244/oh8lx.th.gif (forefire with a) ...

omg noob!!!11 To use the metal-maker AI: 1) select all metalmakers+extractors that shall use this AI 2) push the button "select AI" in the menu 3) use up, down + enter to select metal maker ai switches off metalmakers if you are low on energy the advanced ai switches off the "wortst&q...

PS:: You're all forgetting that we've already bound all the function keys already!!!!!!

Argh, true. Only thought about F1 to F4

Well, maybe the what-to-select-idea could be done with one key, for example tab or x orwhatever.
This way you could switch through all modes.

Yay! That looks great.

When I read the topic I imagined something like a shore2shore remake:
"I have resized it to 50x20 and each metal spot now gives 10.0!"

Nice surpise!

Just played a 3v3 on Speedmetal Duo. It was more like Doom Metal. Think Black Sabbath. Only slower. And less fun 8) Sure, sometimes there is lag in other games too, but here it is bound to run at 0.002 speed. Maybe all Speedmetal players are stoned or something so they dont notice. In the beginning ...

http://www.fileuniverse.com/?p=showitem&ID=3340 poor raiders :/ I remembered that other videos were posted here as well, so did I. But I allow the mods to move this thread because I am such a nice guy ;) hm, those die-fast units were mine, I was a bit confused the game lasted so long, unlike th...

Just found a little Spring video I made some time ago. It is about 14 MB and shows a 4 player FFA game with some nice actions. This is _not_ one of this bunkerfest games where in the end everybody is fighting with berthas and planes only... Its not something that great but I hope you enjoy this: htt...

maybe try downloading the simple-chess map from file-universe, its size is 2x2.
then you can ie test how many solars you can fit on one side of the map (should be around 30)

still trying to figure out what all the stats are on the end game screen... move the mouse over the descriptions like MMPM or whatever, there are tool tips just as with units ;) The "get to one point before marching" might sometimes be useful, but how does the game know when and when not....

That looks really good, I like the experience icons 8) The energie/metal/buildtime bars at the build menu also seem usefull. selection-channels: Hm, the idea is quite good. Maybe make it so, you can toggle them with the F-keys F5: only builders are selectable F6: only aircraft is selectable F7: only...

Dont know if this has been posted before:

The Arm Flame-DT also gives errors, I think it complained about "missing pieces"

sounds like fun!
Maybe there were some of this stealth spybot thingys, but why would AA fire at them?

A replay or screenshots would be usefull.
(replays are autosaved, host them in the lobby to watch them or go to the \demos folder)

Panthers are fast and pack light AA. But the only real role I've found for them is keeping them back near Penetrators. Gremlins seem to raid better... So what are they for? Their use is probally the combination of the long range missle launcher and their strong shortrange laser... I've often seen h...

wont you need 4 times the metal as well?
Once I thought about the following maplayout but then I was like WTFCANTBEOMG
