Spring RTS Engine

what are the advantages of ventrilo compared to skype ? I'm not really familiar with skype, but from the skype website it looks like the two applications are used for largely different things. Ventrillo is like Voice IRC, skype is like voice MSN. With ventrillo you log onto a server, choose the roo...

How many nukes does it take to sink the entire land mass?

Man, I swear, in a few years people will just call it the 'googlenet'

I like the dragoon.

You don't need such a violently blue inner water area, spring water will color whatever you put there to some degree. It looks somewhat funny where it meets the land, as sometimes blue texture bleeds up out of the water. It would be nice if it looked like an artic lake with a bit of glacial ice unde...

It's kind of funny using public vent servers because you always get lamers coming in and joining your channel when your trying to play the game. Ventrillo is the coolest thing I have ever seen when it comes to clan play however.

Basicly I was wondering if these were even possible to do with the spring engine... TA shows that they certainly aren't needed to make a game fun and playable, but I'd still like to play with implimentations of them if they could be done. Can I impliment upgrade groupings or unit leveling with the c...

Ummm... your problem may just be a poorly implemented GUI. The net code and the GUI are ~NOT~ in separate threads. Basically what that meens is nothing happens asyncronously (at the same time). So the app starts up, freezes, and makes a DNS request for the server IP, initiates a connection to the s...

Umm... the updated TAS client that I DLed off the front page just recently...

I'm uncaring. Get more dev work done!

Just kidding, have fun in washinton! Seattle is fun I hear.

After playing a few games and trying to host a few games (which my firewall blocked :() at some point when I tryed to load the battleroom the TAS client would become unresponsive and start using 50-70% CPU power. initially closing the client and loading up again would allow me to load the battleroom...

Get working buggie, world models would be hawt!

Isn't that a bit redundant?, the 7800 and 6800 and ATi's top cards will render anything you throw at it at very high settings. By the time you actually see a difference you can buy a new card that does an even better job. Heh, it's a game of bragging rights to the people who buy these solutions, no...

I saw in some maps trees littered around the place, basicly I'm wondering if this means that it's possible to include custom world models into maps? If so, how powerful is the worldmodel engine? is it possible to have worldmodels emit as lightsources? can we designate model hulls that are unpassable...
