On official autohosts it seems !map command still allows to set the unwanted maps: !map geogreenfieldstecha x v1 * [BoS]Autohost * Map changed by asdf: GeoGreenFieldsTechA X v1 !maplink * [BoS]Autohost * Map link: ...

There are two infrastructure people: abma and Licho. Each with their own infrastructure. Both complain about being lonely. Then there are the different lobbies and its developers who can never agree on most simple things, like default chat channels or how to title some buttons. Who wants to work wit...

Re: land ships

This is for the sand worm map. I can't think of any other way to use the native pathfinder to avoid rocks. Terrain can have different speedmodifiers for four types: tank, kbot, hover, ship You could pick one move-type and decide that this type is only used for worms. The "ship" type can n...

Re: Is there a point when server split will be undone?

Since this forum was often either pro-split ("sign of a mature game!" etc) or ignored the situation I think this is relevant here too. Should there ever be a re-combination it would have to be prepared from both sides.

Re: Get the side or faction of a unit

Hello. On https://springrts.com/wiki/Gamedev:UnitDefs is no way for the files in units\ folder to set the side of a unit. So there is no way to read it either. There is no methode that always works. What works with some mods: a) The side might be contained in the unit names: UnitDefs[unitDefID].name...

Re: Wiki: issues + quick questions/answers

One issue I find in the wiki is that there's no page telling you how to add a single unit(def) to the game. You pretty much should read most of the GameDev section to familiarize yourself enough to do it, as you definitely need to know: - unitdefs - scripts - movedefs - covols - how to add models &...
