It's nice to see it released, and working on my PC just like in the videos. I was secretly afraid Spring would either not ever get released or be a big disappointment, to my surprise I was proved wrong.
For the moment I'm very confused by the new interface, everytime I have given order to a unit and want to deselect it, I end up moving it, losing its order. My vulcan refused to fire on the moutain, I can only force fire a few spot on the plain, I don't know why. I never know which way my unit is facing in FPS mode. Some places are not buildeable and I don't know why. I'm somehow always in the middle click mode I don't want to. Etc.. Slowly I'm adapting to the new interface, I already understood the FPS mode, but really, that right click thing bugs me. Couldn't you implement a "good old TA mouse mode"?
But overall, yay, nice, congrats, etc...

Right mouse button

The right click was very handy, auto repair and guard,without using m o g...
It was like wc3 right click.. but years b4.
I'm incredibly happy with the release, still dlng, wonder if it would work on my ati 9300 ( )..

Re: Right mouse button
No, current Spring version does not read textures in .gaf. You must unpack them into .bmp. That and maybe a few more things mean mods are not compatible straight away. But a simple new unit without custom textures of fancy scripting should work.mongus wrote:So... we install the game, then TA:M, then we visit mutation manifestation... and voila! we can play UTASP5, AAnniv45... etc. right away eh?! or install merlinpack on it???....
