Spring RTS Engine

I'm trying to do a network game with someone, but it wont let them connect because with both have a playerid of 0, where do you change this?

Has anyone gotten a lobby to work in Mac OS?

I spent a few hours trying to get SpringLobby working, but it won't compile. Edit script.txt to suit your needs and run spring from the command line, with script.txt as an argument.

mind sharing the compile errors you got so i can fix them?

use
so it will dump the whole error list so i can fix them in one go

PS: no lobby will be able to work properly until commander builds the unitsync lib ...

IIRC I sent them to tc or semi (cant remember which of them was walking me through the compile) and they said the errors were too deep or too tedious to fix, or something of the sort.

iirc the ticket was closed since the code has been changed so much since your report and a new compile test would be needed, would you mind trying again?

join #springlobby in tasserver or #springlobby@freenode if you need help

New Release!

I fixed the S3O loader, so most mods work on PPC Macs now. I tried XTA (XTAPEV93.sdz) and Gundam (GUNDAM111f4.sd7).

XTA runs fine, except for a few explosion sounds being too loud. In Gundam, most sounds are static noise, I get LUA errors, and the terrain detail texture does not appear?!

However KAI seems to be broken in SVN, I always get:
AI/Global/KAI-0.2/DamageControl.cpp:362: failed assertion `tohitprobability >= 0'

I always had and still have all unit build icons appearing. This bug is not reproducible for me.

I got the new version, thanks!

I still don't get build icons. I'm running it on a G5. Anyone on a G5 see the icons? I'm running the BA60 mod.

I just played an internet game with someone, worked well other than some lag. I turned his side of the mountains into water.

So no matter what AI I attempt to use, the AI controlled commander simply stands there and does nothing. Unless I send a unit right up next to him, in which case he destroys my unit. I get a bunch of "wrong version" AI errors- I'm guessing they're related?

Otherwise, it looks beautiful. Thanks for the awesome work, guys.

Using Spring-0.76b1+5286-nomaps with the mod UberHack, SpringVersion 1.3 and map Chess_b2.smf and startscript GlobalAI test (TestGlobalAI.dylib) I played a very quick game with no crash. I was using the LuaUI and the build icons were not appearing. Other than that everything seemed to work. Thanks Commander.

I've had 4 freezes since the latest build. Force quitting hasn't work so I've had to restart the computer by holding the power button. It's happened on multiple mods and maps.

You have to make sure the AI has a config file for the specific version of the mod you are using.

This is normal. The mod overrides the default detail texture with a blank one, so that maps in general more closely match the graphical "style" of the mod.

Just started a game while at work and therefore I am playing windowed instead of fullscreen and the build icons appear. So they are only missing for me with fullscreen. So something is done differently between windowed and fullscreen mode. If this helps any the graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1600. As a side note I also noticed that spring handles switching between spaces (multiple desktops) not very well, as I kina expected it to. All the textures screw up and it sometimes follows which desktop I am paying attention to. So don't jump around between spaces while using spring.

Edited for clarity and completeness now that I am not at work.

Just attempted to download the latest file and previous build youposted a page ago and i'm getting a 404 file doesnt exist.

The link to the latest file is giving me a network timeout message.

Also setting spring to always stay in one space allows one to switch spaces without it going nuts.

Sorry, my web server was down. Now it's up again, and I uploaded a new release:

http://fabian.herb-clan.de/Spring-0.76b1+5330.dmg

This does however not fix any Mac specific bugs, it just incorporates changes to SVN.

Thanks mate, i shall DL this as soon as im next on my MacBook Pro (later today).

hey!

thank you so much! 0.76b1+5330 is working fine on my macbook(core2duo integrated intel graphics).
build-icons only appear if spring is run in windowed mode via Fullscreen=0 in Preferences/com.clan-sy.spring.Spring.plist, which kills performance.

i also tested the same build on an intel imac with ati graphics. same issue with build icons.

(network play & AI untested, i'm into sm3 mapping)

thanx a lot for all your effort! keep up the good work! you rock!

scripty

i tested it again in a LAN game. (custom sm3 map, both leopard)

iMac C2D Radeon X1600
white/no build icons

macbook C2D
buildicons working
both in fullscreen

started lan games with:
./Spring -s -n bar
./Spring -c -n foo
in <path-to-Spring>/Spring.app/Contents/MacOS

(took me ages to find that info how to start lan games )
i dared an edited the wiki: http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Spring_on_MacOSX

hope thats ok
