Spring RTS Engine

rattle has missed my subtle humor...

Everyone knows XP sp1 was full of glaring bugs that totally messed up the cycle...

If it has a certain position it always goes into to change from, that would get rid of any funky animation resets. Just add a function that moves all parts into that positioning for lua to call. Another, probably not very fast, method would be to have a function to figure out every parts rotations s...

Easy: Install. Double-click icon.
My Radeon Xpress200 chipset did a fair job at it, and this Laptop's intel 965 doesn't perform much worse than my desktops current 7600GT, until it crashes...

Anything that would require changing the unit def will affect all players, not just each player individually. While that could be fun on its own, its not quite what Madrat is looking for. (It would allow player A to spam unit x, which is the best counter to unit y, when y has even been brought into ...

Yes. Infact, you can change it back and forth to see which option actually gives you the best performance.

I'd rather play the mod from the first third of the vid... it does use those actual sound effects though, right? Cause they were awesome!

Good story.

Poor fuzzy silverbacks (that knife you in the belly)

Yes! He did this handy table to demonstrate it all: (I didn't write it down, so forgive any order errors)

The totally awesome thing about studying computer science at uni is that all your teachers talk JUST LIKE Arhg! Its awesome... I never knew there was a windows 3.11 before today... we skipped it and jumped straight to SUPER ADVANCED 95. I also was taught just how OS's have been "getting faster&...

Well, that doesn't quite do the same thing. What MadRat wants would force a player to use practically every unit to maintain a viable position. Even garpikes on Comet Catcher, once the spiraling costs of Gators and Raiders has pushed them out of favor. Your idea would still leave them able to spam &...

You can save the original unit's queue, its standing orders (at least I think thats accessible somewhere...), its position, and its velocity, then assign these to the new unit. Just leaves the issue of animation position... which is a lot harder to solve... but for some uses (low animation units lik...

It is possible to change at least weapon reload and accuracy on a unit by unit basis. As with anything else that the engine already changes on a unit by unit basis (for stuff like experience).

And from my experience, Spring tends to run better using both cores on a Pentium D 915 (with a Geforce 7600 gt) and a Core 2 duo t7250 (with some intel integrated thing that eventually causes it to crash with no/useless log).

Ah, was thinking I'd have to use that for it...

You'll just be adding a new function. You can place it in any position (well, not inside another function's block). Spring figures the rest out for you.

Maybe test if this is the cause. I believe Spring was more forgiving of missing models for corpses before the lua parsers, so it could have been an undetected issue for a while now.

Is this using 76b1 or svn versions? Cause I couldn't get units to spawn up in the air, despite using what I thought were fairly high altitudes...

Know what is interesting? The other day while playing Spring with task manager open I noticed I was at 100% computer usage... and it was all spring... and setting spring to one core reduced my framerate signigicantly.

Spring is multi-threaded now?

Ah... missed it. Thank you.
