LUA Pathfinding? Cool!
Though Spring's pathfinding may suck, its better then most commercial games. Its good to keep making it better :D

When will we start to use 0.8 instead of 0.7* ? The lua support is getting so important for everything, maybe it deserves a major version number change?

Is upspring packaged with Spring yet? It should be.

AF · Post by AF » 24 Oct 2007, 01:27

upspring would be better suited either as a standalone program or as part of an sdk package, which in itself is an idea I'm surprised nobody has exploited yet.

Inclusion in the spring installer would mislead new users into thinking it's a unit creation tool as in I start UpSpring and I build and texture a units model and script it all from scratch. I wouldnt be surprised if users start asking questions such as how to create geometry.

Yeah, not really useful indeed, since you need so many other programs...

A wings3D + COB compiler + upspring would make a good SDK..

would also need an image editing program, Gimp or Paint.net would be good options.

In a test game vs one AAI with r4623, several planes got stuck at the edge of the map.. I don't know if that's an AAI issue though..

And one other thing I'd like to see fixed although it's not a new bug, is the fact that nanos don't reclaim at their full range when set to patrol. Repairing works fine but only manual reclaim orders work for the full range of the nano.. A possible workaround would be to change the ImmobileBuilder widget to make a reclaim and repair order with repeat though I don't know if it would assist factories that way..

The screenshot shows a nano on patrol with roam in the upper right corner of SmallDivide.. It cleared all trees except for those on the screenshot which are well inside its range..

In fact nanos can even reclaim/repair stuff which is behind the circle.

FunTA and CA cause a freeze up crash in spring when ran via aflobby

100% reproducible, and it doesnt appear to be lua related as FunTA versions released prior to the lua interface show the same symptoms. Reproduced on mine and forebodings machines.

I haven't tested on my windows partition, but I would like to point out that this isn't reproducible under linux.

Please figure out how to work this out, AFLobby is awesome <3 and I would love to be able to switch, but it sucks when it can't run my mod(s) <haven't tested with evolution yet.

Should be fixed in latest svn

While on the subject of builder ranges, mobile cons can only start a construction if they've closed in to half their maximum build range.

Oh and immobile builders are not considered blocking for building placement like buildings are, they show up yellow like mobile units.

Does it happen too when you grab the script AFLobby generates and start spring using that script from the commandline?

If so, could you pastebin the script?

Shh, that's a feature not a bug.

AF · Post by AF » 28 Oct 2007, 01:29

No it doesn't.

Forcing aflobby not to write a script and instead use a script generated by tasclient gives the same crash. An AFLobby script runs fine without aflobby running, it only crashes if aflobby is currently running at the time.

Would you mind including this into 0.76?
