New to Spring, question about its flexibility.

I think they were saying "look at how ZK does stuff and copy it because they've already figured out how to do a bunch of stuff you want to do"... general wisdom is to find a Game that already does the think you want and figure out how they do it and copy it because then work isn't duplicated... you will still be "starting from scratch" but you won't be "reinventing the wheel".

Oh I get it. I didn't notice that ZK was made with Spring at first. Yeah that should make things easier. At any rate I think I know what engine ill be using now.

Wow, thats actually quite nice to hear for the devs. Somehow you always find the engine ingame, (for example, i always knew even, before i knew, that wot base upon the unreal engine) but not guessing that zero-k bases upon spring.. thats quite some praise..

Kaiser's "lego's" would probably be worth checking out.

Nice try @ trolling, but you fail. Spring features is downloaded automagically by the lobby for any map that depends on it. Moreover, Desura users get it installed with the game.

Furthermore, there are not a dozen a day. I'm lucky if there are 2 people a week that even bother to say anything in the channel.

Also, what the fuck does Evo have to do with this topic? If you answered "Nothing", you would be correct.

Doesn't really apply to this situation at all, actually.

From there you would assign the mech a pilot with there own stats for piloting, gunning, sensors and so on. The big meat and potatoes though was the mechlab. There you can take your mechs and one by one change there weapon and armor loadout and on some mechs mount jumpjets (limited flight).

I guess I just figured prefrabicated parts that are made to fit eachother would ease the job of modeling weapon and armor loadouts that fit eachother, but than again I've never played the game so I wouldn't know the kind of models he's looking for.
