First, thank you Spring guys for this abosluely awesome mod.

Hi. anyways, i need help adjusting. 1) what is XTA? 2) i assume OTA is original TA..yes? 3)What is AA..?

Sorry for the newbisch Q's, i havent done much curiositifying around yet.

My first sight of Spring (though at the time i didnt know it was a mods of some sort) was back in ..01'? or 2, when i saw a screen of what i thought was a would be/could be screenie of a 3d arm aircraft. Ive only recently stumbled into this site and the info that i need to create some reality out of my assumptions. Spring owns, nothing els does, end of story

Now for the more topic realated question(s)...

1) Like ive said, i havent found anything solid to go on, but, can TA-S (TA-Spring) run all or some 3rd party units? i have about 50 i use in my OTA(?) and if i dl TAS, will they be directly ported or what?

2) if spring CAN run any/all 3rd party units like that.... hasnt anyon gotten on the ball and started making a Star Craft mod yet?

this would be the chance for SC to be 3d! though i know itd be difficult...I plan to take up studies of various game related stuff so in the near future i might be able to help out around the mod communities. Hopefully you might be able to see some demos of various TA, Homeworld2 2 mods from me by next summer.

BTW, Spring guys and fans, what would you do to see TAS or.. dare i say it.. Total Annihilation II in full swing by 07'?

Dont hope, just believe, for our sake..

um Old Total Annihilation, Absolute Annihilation xta is teh suck (but also the base mod). As you are new go to FU Spring>Media>Recordings to watch replays (theres a Idiots guide there too :)). If you directly port units they look fuck ugly.
I've never played StarCraft but ppl say it owns so i'd love too see it in Spring. Don't call it TA:2 coz that game never happened, and even if it did this is soooo much better (and free too! :D)
And they (SYs) release ~one update a month! so spring is definitely getting better :D

People who are dead into StarCraft seem to have big problems with TA, actually, I have friends who loath TA and just plain refuse to play it but play plenty of other RTSs.

I think that making the SC armies in Spring would be awsome (aside from bringing the full wrath of Blizzard down to smite us to little bits on which they will jump on until they get blisters) because then I could play with my friends who hate StarCraft and beat them up with my Krogoths and peewee swarm them.

I like both TA and SC. Not sure why there's such a fissure between people regarding that. Besides, an SC mod to spring would be a nightmare of scripting. If it's possible at all that is.

If we had a couple more dedicated dev's working on the project we could have something way before '07.

I've been hard at work at the map maker for Spring. It's my speciality, Tool making.

I've also made a couple maps.

Oh, and XTA is a mode done by SY awhile ago and is their primary unit set while working with Spring. AA is Absolute Annihilation, a unitset maintained by Caydr here in the forums. He lurks mostly ├é┬¼_├é┬¼

While TA Spring "Can" run all 3rd party units, the way it does textures is very different. No GAF support at all, thank god. *shudders*

As for the name, we shouldn't even be using "TA" as that's owned by someone else. Just like Chris T. can't use it either.

Oh man, I just realized that Supreme Commander and Starcraft have the same acronym. ARGH... SC... Maybe SuC...no that doesn't work at all

You cannot create _any_ mods for _any_ game based on _any_ blizzard game. They will use their legal powers to crush your balls :)
