Archive "spring features 1.0" not found

[Himmel31]

Hello! I installed Evolution RTS. I successfully login to the lobby, choose a map, add a bot. But when I push the start button, I see the error "Archive "spring features 1.0" not found". Help please, I could not find anywhere a solution. System is ubuntu 12.04.

Springlobby needs pr-downloader love

Any other lobby downloads it automagically.

Forboding Angel, other lobby? O_o

Put it in the "games" folder.

~/.spring/games

PLACE THE ARCHIVE IN YOUR GAMES FOLDER!

This is an archive containing all of the features made for spring to date. Games/mods can add this archive as a dependency and map authors can then use featureplacer in Gundam RTS/Evolution RTS/Other to place features. Mapconv already has support for featureplacer configs.

Adding this archive as a dependency also enables that game/mod to use maps that were previously limited to specific games. For example, many of the EvoRTS maps. (I.E. General Caiaphas' Revenge - Attached screenshot)

This also allows for map sizes to be smaller as there is no longer any need to include the textures with the map.

Additionally, maps may also call this archive as a dependency. Maps can also include the featuredef files if necessary so that reclaim and blocking values can be changed. The featuredefs included are simply fallbacks so that the features will show up, and most reclaim values are really low (like 10 energy, 10 metal, etc).

Basically, the point is that mappers can change the features up however they like with this archive.

For whatever reason, Unlike the other lobbies, springlobby doesn't grab dependencies automatically, which is frustrating, because in situations like this, it is unclear to the user exactly wtf is going on.

There are other alternatives for linux users. Most notably (it's NOTAJOKE! ), NotaLobby ( http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=28180 ).
