Spring RTS Engine

jK removed the "returns nil" from wiki: http://springrts.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Lua_SyncedRead&curid=2425&diff=29060&oldid=29054 I tried with too == {}, but oddly enough this does not work while # == 0 does, why does this not work? a = {} b = {} if (a==b) then *this will...

wiki is written by people who do not need it for people who do not read it. That does not just mean the people who ask questions but those who answer even more. Often something could be answered clearly with link to wiki but instead some myth is posted. Some answers in this thread: "just read t...

The "highlighted edges" give interessting future look. Definitely reminds of some maps in arena shooter games. http://quake.ingame.de/warsow/spiel/img/wtest7.jpg Perhaps do more with that? Have colored bands around the edges of hills, arrows pointing towards the ramps etc. Gameplay wise th...

Changing "GroundDetail" setting can be done ingame, keys are Home/Pos1 & End.

But it seems GroundDetail has no effect on texture, it only changes how detailed the map geometry is.
The artifacts with the texture on the ramp grids remind me a bit of mipmapping levels changing?

"explodeAs" refers to a weapon, so you will find it not in unitDef but must look in a weaponDef.
In java there is http://spring.abma.de/doc-Interface-Jav ... onDef.html
"getAreaOfEffect()"
(For C++ do not know where to look.)

You are twisting things. No one is saying that having titles makes one "correct" or anything, but it DOES show authority which is something new users can rely on. You call it "titles shows authority", I called it "titles make post gain weigth", forum rules call it &quo...

Also we could probably remove "Join date" information. And titles. I agree. Hiding behind title might impress newbies but otherwise is just silly. The content of post should speak for itself and not need to gain weight by title or join date. 2. Your E-Resume does not make you right, neith...

High turnRate can make the unit turn around so fast that it turns too far, then it corrects, overcorrects to other side..wiggle wiggle.
Here was similar problem:

rapid to sdd: rapid.exe thing is discontinued and not in engine download since some time. http://springrts.com/wiki/Pr-downloader is not helpful for that because pr-downloader can not create sdd files on its own. If one reads this issue on github https://github.com/spring/pr-downloader/issues/58 the...

Maybe in future they just tell people to die and then they do it? --- Multi-legged machines have their niches, but this thread is especially about two legs. Bi-pedal design is not the best, it just happend because some four-legged walkers decided they wanted to use two of their limbs to carry shiny ...

if there would be a mech which can carry stronger weaponry and armor while still being as maneuverable as humans in that kind of rough terrain, it would be quite a advantage. Yes, but does such machine nessecarily have to be a bipedal mech? Same in citys: a tank cant look around a corner and quickl...

Fun fact: If one search for "lups" in wiki it says: Did you mean: lupus LUPS is listed on http://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:PublicRepos /edit: okay, that page has no link to github, guess that is fail. For "standard stuff" like Lups, chili it was discussed a few times how nice it...

Spring.SetUnitNanoPieces(unitID, nanoPoints) Did you define nanoPoints anywhere? It must be a table of pieces that exist in the 3D model, like: local nanoPoints = {} nanoPoints[1] = piece ("nuzzle1") nanoPoints[2] = piece ("nuzzle2") /edit That infolog has nothing relevant to un...

As follow-up to previous page, applying texture when drawing feature. Actually is really simple and wiki is correct: gl.Texture(0,"$units1") --this works for 3do gl.Texture(0,"%" .. -drawDefID .. ":0") --this works for s3o. note NEGATIVE! Not sure why it did not work be...

With userinput or reading files or other "dangerous things" one can not be cautious enough but some things one should trust. Otherwise it looks silly and reminds me of this: http://littleheroes.s3.amazonaws.com/website_images/blog/overprotective-parenting-1.jpg /edit: clueless looking at t...

Since Quake live got messed up some time ago, time to try this again.
Last I played Warsow most of the servers were CA mode. Never liked that much, best part of arena shooters is picking up more stuff than the opponents! How likely is it to find a duel or FFA server?

Why in buildings? That is perfect terrain for wheels, everything is nice and flat. The only obstacles are stairs but those can be climbed with certain tracks or wheels too. Imo walking on two legs only gives an advantage the legs are used dynamically: When humans or animals run, they constantly bala...
