Where do I test my units out?

[DoubleHelixDNA]

According to the https://springrts.com/wiki/The_Complete ... pring_Game guide, I use:

SpringLobby;

However, I did put the "SpringTutorialGame" in the Games directory, but yet I cannot find it on SpringLobby.

So, to play SpringTutorialGame, do I use SpringLobby or SpringEXE?

I would just like to be able to test out the tank I made using that guide :)

Quickest way is to launch spring.exe directly and select your game using the buttons on the right.

Where am I supposed to put SpringTutorialGame?
I have it downloaded but Spring.exe does not show it in my game lists

It needs to be in your games directory (this is in your datadir, which I assume is where you have your Spring.exe). If you aren't sure where your data dir is, check the infolog.txt file. This should be shown in the very first lines.
The game should also have an extension: .sdd if it's a folder, or .sdz/.sd7 if it's a zip/7z archive.

Just doubleclick the game file and spring will copy the associated file into the corresponding folder

These are the steps to get to where I downloaded SpringTutorialGame:

Looking at the paths might help
Maybe that's where I messed up and I put spring/tutorialgame in the wrong place??

Please attach your infolog - https://springrts.com/wiki/Infolog.txt

Perhaps the tutorial game has an outdated modinfo (or still old tdf even?)

"Using read-write data directory: C:\Users\hedge\Documents\My Games\Spring\"

That's your data directory, not program files.

[gajop]

And if that isn't crystal clear, you basically need to put your games folder there, so the path is:
C:\Users\hedge\Documents\My Games\Spring\games\SpringTutorialGame.sdd

Are you saying it still isn't working?

[DoubleHelixDNA]

Just thinking you might need it...

Ok: Got the game running and currently screwing around with the rockets, making them into nuclear bombs with .02 reload, but I can't seem to have the factory build my own units;
I have the scripts, the model and the unitdef itself.. but yet the factory does not have my unit in its list of buildable units?

How do I change my factory so that it has my new unit within its list of buildable units?

Small midget tank...
heheh
hmm:

My sphere vehicle is not in the buildqueue however, probably something wrong with script/unitdef?

I told you how to run the tutorial game when you asked in ZK a week ago but the chat seemed to be lost or ignored. Here is a more permanent wiki page which should get anyone from a basic ZK install to a working tutorial game.

Was there supposed to be a link?
