You can probably still find people if you join the lobbyserver. But there was a lot of drama around a fork, see viewtopic.php?t=49691. Major games (BAR, ZK) moved to their own lobbyservers and most of the community discussion now happens on their and the engine fork's respective discords and/or githubs.

Hi Sprunk,
yes I had read something about "dramas" and I don't want to open any more.
I'm talking about using Spring to create a game, not playing games.
My thought is that games like "BAR" and "ZeroK", are games (beautiful games). Spring is an engine for creating games, if the spring community is dead, the possibility of creating new ones also dies.

I need information on how to create a script for my game.

But if so, can I find information on the problems I encounter with SPRING ENGINE on the BAR and ZeroK communities?

BAR, Zero-K, Metal Factions, and others, games that ran in the past on Spring engine, are no longer using Spring engine, but a fork of Spring engine called Recoil, which is also very actively developed, (for example, within last month: "Excluding merges, 13 authors have pushed 56 commits to master", source: https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/sp ... se/monthly)

You can get help about issues with Recoil engine in those communities.
