Re: First time user issues

Internet Explorer renames .sdz files and opens .sd7 files as raw text = both is fail. It makes no difference whether new files are sdz or sd7 because there already exist hundreds of game & map archives in both formats. The system that automatically generates archives from SVN/github produces sdz...

Re: Those of you who don't use Lobbies, How do you Launch Spring?

But for some reason this crashed the Spring Lobby right before launching the game. For a while I had similiar problem Luckily before springlobby would crash/hang it had already written the startscript file. So I could use that to join the game. (Drag & drop the script.txt onto spring.exe or mak...

Re: Total Annihilation Zero ND Tournament #1

I also would like to learn more about the Kardashians.
(Actually story is the least important part in an multiplayer rts game to me. Knowing that GoK is another race of space robots with lasers and bombs and stuff is good enough.)

Re: Spads running on AWS

To my credit, I've asked repeatedly for help, but most people are understandably busy with their own stuff. People have always helped to update mods and even made completly new things, often within hours/days after the request. That is how evolutionrts even made it to 96.0. Now people are "bus...

Re: Automatic archiving of replays

What I've done is associated .sdf with spring.exe -- that way I can just double-click to open the replays. The problem is multiple spring engine versions. The sdf needs to be opend with correct version. I used to have links to several spring-versions in startmenu and then I could drag&drop down...

Re: Automatic archiving of replays

demo files are now compressed with gzip The data inside replays is compressed with that algo, spring still plays them like before. No need to unzip files or anything. In .sdf files is some readable text if opend with texteditor which is sometimes useful. For example zK players can use it to find th...

So in techa versions following v2.38.8 it should not happen anymore..
until then (or forever) disable the "remember camera" widget

Re: Train Factory

Some of the guns in S1944 do work via the transport-methode. Whether the gif shows a single unit that deploys via "morph" gadget or or two "loaded" units does not really matter: The effect looks excactly the same and so shows the problem just as well. I am not sure sure if moving...

Imo use the MoveCtrl functions to set positions of the waggons, like you would in a snake game. https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=game+programing+tutorial+snake Spring's attach/transport functions do not seem useful for trains. Assuming you have the locomotive and each waggon as a seperate unit an...
