Spring RTS Engine

Id play if current engine version wasnt so fucked

About buildmenu, I tried CA's radial menu and I must admit that it works really well.. I still need a build list in the UI in order to build units with factories though. So I guess I'll go with a simple "build" button that opens or shows how to open the radial menu button for commanders/c...

Hosting games on different servers is bad because spring players like to idle and then play when some interessting game opens. People will not idle on two servers. People would download SW and be on an empty server. Better be on a server with tons of BA players that will at least answer to "hi...

Sorting through categories is ok if every building is binded to a key, like in Starcraft. Its too slow to click through the menus by mouse. If you have very many buildings I don't know how practical it is to have a key to each, faster to have only key structures behind 1 key, and rest by 1 click, th...

How is that better than worms?

Also 1 thing, SD's automatic matchmaking tends to throw people to dsd, they have no control over what kind of game they play when using that feature Instead of that matchmaking helping people play the gametype they want, that tends to just make the trends of what is played even stronger. Kaiser I do...

We need an Imperial Winter release...and it needs to be polished ...and it needs to be hosted away from the *A mods on its own server/forums/etc. So true. IW is probably spring's last chance. :| Well pretty much any game with a sufficient amount of polish and advertising. But in the end there's bee...

Would be really nice to have keybinds in a widget, then you could have different sets for different games easier.

But probably most sensible to override the users UIkeys.txt, since they could do all they did there in the widget. Or if they want to use their uikeys they just disable the widget.

You might have to wait till next spring patch, replays are kinda fucked right now.

There's as much BA players as always... Sure there could be more with proper advertisement

But fact is that many more of those players are playing 8v8 than before, and big part BA players dislike that to some extent. And that's not really related to new models or whatever at all.

Its not really a useful ability, it's better to just emp straight away or try and stay alive (keeping distance from units & poking in sometimes). If youre next to some structure there's such a risk of being killed all the time, that a small amount of metal is quite meaningless in comparison. The...

Its not just maps, but the player number

If people are happy playing it, it seems a bit control-freak-ish to try to stop them. Are they happy? There's kinda constant complaint of there being nothing else to play, from all kinds of players, who play it themselves too cause they feel they don't have an easy alternative. And all the noobs wh...

Or just make possible to have engine los with shadows on... Whichever method would be faster preferably.

I love BA 8v8 DSD! It should never be banned, that's discrimination. In 1v1 I always get my ass handed to me, so why would I want to play it. Specing is no fun, I want to play. Hardly any other noobs play 1v1 But if there was possibility to play 1v1 or 2v2 or whatever vs equal opponents would you p...

Lots of air play, should be interesting

The walls could be just a bit less steep though, it really stretches the texture atm.

Go for it... Iceland style:

It would make sense that noobs play each other... But they go to 8v8 instead of hosting a game like that, since its what everybody else does.

Basically for maximum accuracy you need a certain amount of dpi, depending on how high sensitivity you use. Your accuracy is capped by your resolution anyway, your mouse only needs to match that. More detailed explanation: http://www.esreality.com/?a=longpost&id=1265679&page=2 And you probab...

Kinda retarded to just say "use whatever works for you", cause it's pretty obvious that all methods aren't equal. Sure you mightve gotten used to an inferior method and don't care enough to relearn, and that's totally fine, but no point to suggest others to use that method too. Or is it ju...
