Spring RTS Engine

It all depends on how the units are going to interact with the 'minerals'. Through reclaiming? Through attacking/damage? Completely through lua? I think fake units is a bad idea, and definitely avoidable.

I've updated mex snap in the widget DB (link for the lazy), I don't have rights to update the others though, try contacting the authors.

You could redo the whole selection system in a widget, i.e. drawing the box yourself. 'Smart Select' does this already (I don't know how well) and has some filtering logic that you would want (i.e. If a box selects both enemies and allies, they probably just wanted the allied units)

You could look for hitting-the-ground damage in :PreDamaged, and if it was high enough (Indicating its going to have a noticible bounce) you could destroy it instead, or maybe use MoveCtrl to stop/slow it.

Imo this is a mod-side problem, not an autohost problem. While simultaneous cooperation between present and future autohosts on what settings to use might solve the problem, it isn't going to happen. If it is the case that a mod plays best with a particular amount of players, and has gameplay rapidl...

just quickly did this as a demo: Is there a way to have the 'arcs' between units as a single textured "beam" (i.e. the lightning weapon in the screenshot) as opposed to a line of discrete CEGs? Generalizing it, how would one go about drawing a flat 2D texture (i.e. the lightning weapon te...

I posted this on the BA dev team forum almost 2 months ago, thread still hasn't got any replies.

Maybe it will be fixed in the next release, should only be a few months away.

I've explained the reasoning between T2 fighters & T2 economy revisions already in this thread I'd like to see more elaboration, something like this: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=487981 . All you've said in this thread re economy/fighters is basically 'metalmaker ratios used to be...

Statements such as return x = x make me crazy... assign x to x and return x? ... I guess in Lua this has some special meaning, please enlighten me.

Care to explain this? function widget:GetConfigData() return { buildSpacing = buildSpacing } end To be able to add further configuration table entries later? Pretty much, it also helps a lot if you end up having other versions out that use a different format for the configuration, or have the data ...

Really cool idea. I didn't like the complexity of the widget though, so I recoded it, stripping out the unnecessary parts. -- Config local defaultSpacing = 0 -- Globals local lastCmdID = nil local buildSpacing = {} -- Speedups local spGetActiveCommand = Spring.GetActiveCommand local spGetBuildSpacin...

Not true.

Indeed it is a bug.

Pos2BuildPos doesn't take a facing argument and ends up using a hardcoded facing of 0 (south). So for non-square buildings facing west/east there can be a mismatch.

I also noticed Krog's crush weapon is broked, it just does not crush anything like it used to. That's due to a weapon/script change that synced the stomp with each of the krogs legs (and to only stomp units by the legs). A cool idea but the range was made too short, most of the time pathing causes ...

It seems that EMP launcher only emps a lolcannon for 3 seconds (although it reports 13 secs emp when hit, it only lasts for 3). Presumably that's a bug? I think it used to emp it for at least a minute. I posted about this on the BA dev forum almost a month ago, still haven't got a reply. BA develop...
