Spring RTS Engine

All this verbiage, and we haven't even started. And it's about "what comms tool to use"!

*Anarchid imagines the upcoming tech stack debates, dae vs s3o vs lups vs ceg
*Anarchid interrupts imagination: Despairing

Alternative approach - estimating enemy income to be ~similar to yours OR estimating enemy income based on amount of territory they control - estimating expected enemy total budget to this point based on that - checking how many enemy units are known and how much they are worth - if the total known ...

Oh wait i looked at the wrong round because the UI opened on round 2.
Well, it's beta, so. I liked round 3 ones.

The themes suck but i imagine we can tweak them into something interesting whatever they are.

I'm confirming participation, will fill out shortly.

101 gets just a tiny hax that allows features to be rendered at all distances - which should allow a lot of stuff.

Unsure if should wait for 101 to get DNTS and feature-geometry for castles.

They are not modes, they are generated with dynamic lod, something we don't have for features.

Actual LOD would be a good thing. I'm not sure i can accept TA "impostors" as a proper LOD system in 2015.

SL still runs unitsync synchronously?

Do not include much water (water gameplay is bad), largely use ramps and cliffs rather than hills (use hills as impassable areas) as they play better. Water is bad where it is bad because people's idea of mixed maps is "designate some areas as ship vs ship and make them unable to interact with...

Sounds like it's a Java interface / Java wrapper problem, then.

I would suggest experimenting with replacing building features with neutral (=not auto attacked) Gaia units with low health.

Nothing like angry robots running through a city destroying it casually along the way.

There seems to be something wrong with the WeaponFired event at least for Java AI's: 1) Listening to WeaponFired as a Java AI seems to never produce any results. 2) Documentation says that "This AI event is sent when certain weapons are fired. For performance reasons, it is not possible to send...

What regex dialect?

Does blender2lus (or its export format) belong here?

Split from https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=34024&p=574309#p574235. (Silentwings) What can be done to improve the map format? !invok Enetheru I think the biggest thing that could be done to improve the map format is to abolish it - the same way that improving s3o is best don...

Problem: it is not possible to SendLuaRulesMessage as a specific team. They get sent with the implicit team stamp of whatever the host player is. I guess that can be part of the payload though and the synced part can verify that player sending the LuaRulesMessage hosts the AI for the team it tries t...

Ohhh how did i miss that! Especially having actually commented on it! This allows Such Wonderful Things! For example, in one fell stroke, RecvFromSkirmishAI could eval the received string and return its value to the AI, completely leveling the field between gadget AI's and native AI's. One could eve...

You can test it locally already, the problem only occurs in MP games.

Count me in for "interested in crowdfunding advanced shader framework" camp.

Other things i'd like to be shaderable: projectile models (including beams and unit piece projectiles), terrain, sprite particles.

I don't think responses work currently at all, hence "half duplex".

I'll fix up zk handling of RecvSkirmishAIMessage to relay it to rules by next stable.
