Spring RTS Engine

You can construct the category list in a quick pass over all units. No need to write it explicitly.

You're still advocating a blacklist derived from a whitelist. Honestly am I the only one who sees the issues with that and the added needless complexity? It is needless in your opinion, because this complexity lies in your domain rather than in someone else's. I (and others posting in this thread) ...

Forb, you can implement this yourself in unitdefs_post.
Keep a string with all categories.
if no "onlytargetcategory" is given, make an onlytargetcategory that holds that string while replacing (:gsub?) all targets in that unit's blacklistCategory

no, badtargetcategory is just categories that are prioritised lower.

All aboard the awesome train!

Spectacular!
Can't wait to steal it


P.S. the Jourאeywar logo still makes me confused...

Some valuable tips for teams in LD:

I haven't tried it in game yet, but it looks very nice!

There is a minimum complexity to a Spring game so i'd suggest participating in Jam mode. Indeed (and I wish to participate as well). The complexity will require (especially if we have more than 3 members): Extremely modest aspirations. Good communication channels - both vocal (mumble probably) and ...

I actually think this should even have a default value not in springsettings, as settings are edited a lot, are loaded from a few locations in the FS and are often overwritten by lobbies.

It's browser data as far as I know. https://github.com/blog/69-what-os-do-you-use (image can be found in archive.org) Floris you are absolutely right. I didn't find any data yet about other open source games usage, so I just went for any open source community I could find data on as I'd argue it is ...

This is the share of operating systems in users browsing github, taken in 2008. I agree it's not very recent, but it's significantly different compared to the global usage shares back then. Not to mention the Linux share just went up these years. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/204076271/githubs...

Specs are like forum lurkers, forcing a lurker to post every time they read the forums sounds silly right? That's what you guys are suggesting by limiting the number of specs. To have more games that aren't 8v8 DSD before matchmaking arrive you can: 1) Set a time in the week for 1v1s and 2v2s. 2) Ha...

Except whole map + untis are black!

Can you check that again with dev version of engine?

A small suggestion:

Have a default script file that will run said menu if engine is being started with no command line parameters. That will allow games to easily replace the menu with customised versions.

If you only want numbers to the 4th decimal place, you can use an implementation of fixed point numbers, or even regular integers with some adaptation.
That should be syncable with no problem, but rounding errors may be.

The only difference is that when you catch up, the host must stay running at all time, while I'm suggesting saving/loading which implicitly mean an intermediate period in which the game isn't running. Imagine the following scenario: 1) You play a singleplayer game 2) You decide to stop and click sav...

The mention of MP is actually interesting, when you think about it, direct saving is indeed difficult, but it's surely feasible to save partial replays which the player will be able to load in a similar fashion to the catching up mechanism. (I'm 99% certain this was suggested before, probably doesn'...
