settings.txt format?

hi!

I just downloaded the source code, i got the server to build but there is no settings.txt example.

I also noticed that you are using mysql, i downloaded the source to see if i could hack it to build on linux.

I dont know your plans for ta spring servers... the server is just a meeting point right? then a client launches a server and the others join in.

Is there a possibility for totally dedicated servers? players joining in at any time?

too much questions already :)

We're already working on a linux port, see the porting dev. site. If you feel like joining in and lending a hand on a module that hasn't yet been claimed, you're more than welcome :)
Unfortunately, getting a working port (at least as far as rts is concerned) is going to involve more than "just a little hacking"

All modules will at least have to have the MSVCisms stripped out, if not more.

There is a sample settings.txt available in the Documentation directory.

For the other questions, I'm not the one to answer :)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is there any irc where developers meet? :)

Not that I know (I'm not one of SY, I just offered to help port taspring to linux and kind of try to coordinate that). I'm hogging #taspring on irc.freenode.net if anyone wants to join me... Or if there is an official channel somewhere, can we get a pointer? :)

the server is tied directly to the lobby... its not really capable of hosting Spring games. What can be done is hack Spring to act as a host without containing a player or executing AI. someone should look into it :)

That was what i was thinking on...

While not a dedicated taspring channel, we all hang out in #sy on irc.quakenet.org. Visitors may be subject to harmful doses of the swedish language though.

what about the players joining any time thing is that possible? or can a person not sync up. It would be very good for spectators and players who could ither A take over from someone else who leaves ai when its implemented or join someones team.

That has been brought up many times. The developers say that with the current network code they have, there is no way that that will happen. (at least easily)

Yes, it is literally impossible to do that. However cool it might be, I don't think it is possible with the resources we have.

We would have to rewrite the netcode so that it was more like an FPS's, which would mean bigger servers would be needed. Joe from down the street won't be able to host games anymore. Regardless, it would still be interesting to see something like that implimented however.
