Spring RTS Engine

Women aren't utterly incomprehensible beings who think in a completely different way, a lot of the things that confuse men are things men themselves experience, or are perfectly rational given their circumstances. Sure I can be pretty sure I don't know what having a period or child birth is like, b...

Once upon a time we enforced argumentative discussion rules, but stopped because we'd have to ban everyone. Including the admin/moderator staff.

People just don't have the type of training necessary to argue intelligently. Society trains us more in bad practices than good ones.

I've got significant java programming knowledge, an a general comp sci background... but that being said, from my experience there are few programming environments easier to learn than lua, so I don't think it should be a significant obstacle to anyone.

Is it impossible to use BOS and COB and what not these days? I know no one really still actively practices it, but I thought it still technically worked. Regardless, I was responding to Sinbad saying "You can make a game with no programming knowledge... but it will be bland. Lua is the language...

You can make a game with no programming knowledge... but it will be bland. Lua is the language you use to make your game not be awful. Improving the engine is another story and it probably is a matter of "if you have to ask, don't bother"... that said, if you just want to make games you w...

Game has been released in Europe. I am reading that It's apparently extremely buggy and I cant help but wonder as to why all these 4x games are being released in such horrible, unfinished states. sword of the stars 2 was so promising but was unplayable at release and is still buggy and unfinished, ...

So far, I've never liked a real time grand strategy game. For RTS game play my taste is somewhere in between brood war and Balanced Annihilation. I like a smallish contained battle between a small number of sides that doesn't sprawl on for hours, and has more tactical than strategic decisions. I don...

killyourself.png I never claimed to be "good" at programming... at best I've claimed "clever"? Reliably copying objects to new instances is hard in JavaScript while parsing the stingified object results in a perfect copy without modifying the original... what SHOULD I be doing? ...

Watched this today on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2H1wK1dFXg Ya, he makes it look interesting, but he really doesn't compare it at all to what else is out there. So far I'm hearing "it's generally weaker" though. I'll probably get it still, but I think I'll wait till it's on ...

I kind of feel it's appropriate these days to host every video that legally can be through youtube unless you're a company that can afford to compete with google. Let someone else do the work of worrying about downtime, worrying about weather your video works on X stupid device, worrying about comp...

Wow, that game's ugly as sin!

Although that does nothing to discourage me :)

The thing for me, I'm not a big fan of full RTS 4X. I don't necessarily want to micromanage every turn, but I like the option to if I want. It bothers me in games when I feel like I'm racing my opponent in order to get enough actions in in time to beat them. I really like the casual pace of a real g...

I hadn't found it before there. I'm actually a bit impressed, we're not doing half bad when you look at who we're compared to.

I've modified the stuff. The current setup should aid the more OCD of you a little more.

I've pretty much just juggled everything so that the most popular items are higher on the list and the least popular ones are lower.

How does it compare to MoO2, GalCiv2, Space Empires V?

Anyone played who's willing to put their 2 cents in?

This recent setting in nvidia drivers is super useful. It caps frame rate at refresh frequency, but doesnt start halving if you drop under refresh frequency. Reduces gpu power usage, eliminates tearing and doesnt cause drop to 30 fps if you go a smidge under 60. Works well with spring :D That solut...

lol swift so angry, solving there problem on the fly. So they need disguised hideouts.. treehouses, basecamps, with treasurechests- and traps. Lets mantis that on DayZ. Also .. if you murder to many.. you could develop halocinations of other players- resulting in firefights with thin air. Haha, It ...

It's a very good game. Moments of frustration, but I definitely loved it overall. I'd say Machinarium was a tiny bit stronger though.
