Spring RTS Engine

Good suggestion. I am doing that already. Thanks for the quick reply. Actually, I found the problem. I'd accidentally left a hardcoded number in a place where there should have been a variable. I was always checking for valid build positions for solar collectors, then trying to build a kbot lab in t...

I'm laying the groundwork on a replacement for a Lua Skirmish AI that I was working on last year when it achieved sentience and committed suicide (or I accidentally deleted it while moving some files, I forget which). Currently, to find a valid build location for a given unitDef, I start at some ini...

Cool. This was the first map I ever played, so as far as I'm concerned, this map is Spring. I had hacked a working version a few months back, but somehow lost all copies when I was moving files around. (Along with all copies of a halfway working Lua skirmish AI, but let's not talk about that.)

While working on my own Skirmish AI recently, it occurred to me that as a programmer, I want the AI to play as much like a human as possible. As a player, I want the AI to just give me a good game regardless of method, as long as the cheating isn't too obvious and doesn't appear to be too far outsid...

I've not seen the new behavior in action yet, but how you describe it is how I'd always thought it should have worked all along.

Active volcano but no geothermal vents?

I meant more like a deep echo effect. Like Street Fighter's "Sonic Boom!" or iCarly's "Random Dancing!" First time I saw an Annhiliator, I was thinking "What is that?" Then it blew a huge hole in my assault force. Then I was thinking "What the #(&$(#& is th...

So I was hallucinating if I seem to remember some previous version when shadows worked without having to enable the shiny? (Although one of Argh's other posts suddenly makes a bit more sense.)

I kind of like this one. I always imagine it as "Energy (booming voice) WEAPON weapon weapon on on on..."

Here are how mine are broken: Features and terrain have shadows but units do not. I'm hoping this is related to what Argh is working on. In the mean time, I need to hack the blob shadow widget again...

I occasionally get on stereogram kicks and I always wonder why nobody ever goes really old school and just shows two slightly different views of the same scene side by side. Example of what I mean. No weird colors, no expensive glasses, and if your eyes get tired, just focus on one side or the other...

im not sure, but i think group 0 isnt possible Group 0 works for me. It also appears correctly for me in UnitGroups v5.1 (gui_unitgroups5_1_xta.lua) which I believe is the icon bar that he's referring to. His problem may be his screen resolution. I haven't looked deeply enough into the code to tell...

i dont want to bind /luaui stockpilecount 100 to a key, so how could i change it without modify the widget itself? I think he's saying just type "/luaui stockpilecount 100" into the chat window once and it will save it. You won't have to bind or type anything ever again unless you want to...

[(what does ctrl or shift do?) If you hold down shift when left clicking to add to the stockpile, it adds 5 instead of just 1. When you hold down ctrl, it adds 20. Both together adds 100. (Same when giving factories build orders.) Right clicking while holding those keys takes the same number away. ...

Optimized Brain Damage's version: Uses ctr + shift to issue less commands. I'd considered that, but then decided that if you're stockpiling large amounts, you'd probably be better off using trepan's old "just add 100" widget. I mean, I think the whole point of this widget is to keep a sma...

I was working on something similar when I noticed the one that just stockpiles 100, so I just went with that. The only benefit I can see for mildarf's version is that stockpiling 100 instead of 3 can take a fair chunk of your resources for a fair amount of time. On the other hand, I'd hate to lose m...

To whoever is uploading this widget to widget trackers, download managers, etc: 1) Thank you very much! 2) Please check the first post in this thread for updated description and instructions. 3) Thank you very much! New for v1.1: 1) CBAI should now handle Dragon's Teeth and other fortifications prop...

Okay, so I lied. The Central Build AI widget is now up to version 1.0. Now I'm finished playing with it for a while. Changes? First of all, I fixed a little glitch where Central Builders who had been given orders outside the common queue would get those orders canceled before they could finish them....

suggestion name it just central_build_Ai.lua and what line do i have to change to change the group-number (e.g. from 1 to 9) The file name and the internal name returned by widget:GetInfo() should remain constant so that later versions can be dropped into the widgets folder and replace the older on...

(Spring.GetUnitTeam(unitID) == Spring.GetMyTeamID) Or maybe local allUnits = Spring.GetTeamUnits(Spring.GetMyTeamID()) I stole that from quantum's Select n Center! for my own version (attached below). Works for me but I don't do multiplayer or replays, so I don't know how it reacts that that. This ...
