Spring RTS Engine

no it's not.
page up/page down changes wiew distnace. (even thou it sounds like zoom, it aint) it changes the ground when i press it and then when it's on 30 something (100 deafult) the ground disaperd!

Kixxie : I've just tested and it's true, it don't work.
That's strange because on the 50.b1 log, it is said : "-Added keyboard bindings for mousewheel (pageup/down as default)"

Try holding J (middle mouse button sub) and pagup/down?
Most mice come with a scroll wheel anyway. Even my old crapbucket of a computer has a scroll wheel on it. Perhaps it is time for an upgrade?

Anyway, this isn't a miniSpring issue, it is a Spring issue.

Optical mice with scroll wheels and middle mouse buttons, arent that expensive anyways, you can get them for something like £4 or £5 or less at ebuyer.co.uk.

Anyways perhaps if there was an addition to the settings so that the scale could be changed? Some sort of slider....

Back on topic.

Would it be possible to reverse Mini-spring ? That is, make it be "mega-spring" ? I'm asking because there're far too many maps that are huge, and very few that are small. Making an inverse mini-spring would solve that, atleast temporarily.

I'm using your version of the EXE gnome. That is if it is ur version on FU........

If a slider was introduced in options then we could make it scale eitherway I'd say upto 8x smaller or 3x bigger

8x smaller!!!
3x Bigger!!!!
i think that 1/2 size and double size would be plenty! otherwise... can you imagine playing 8x smaller...you wouldn't be able to see a thing!

HAHAHAH

No, no 8x smaller. The engine couldn't handle that scope. Half size is pushing it. I think it's acceptable though.

I played a game with this myself last night and didn't encounter one bug with half sizing things.

Making things bigger would wreck a map, I believe. Firstly, there would be areas that unit's couldn't go. Secondly, speed values would look very strange, and thirdly, it'd be impossible to build a plant anywhere.

Big maps are supposed to be large for online play. If you're just playing Springy, play a smaller map...

Recompiled using the most up-to-date code from SY (0.51b1)

Please note, this isn't the client, just the base exe itself. Nothing else.

-Buggi

yeah i swear we were at 0.5b2 tho :S stupid me

We are. Probably a typo by Buggi, rather than wrong packing, though.

Read the main page, they released a new version of the engine

Buggi generally deals with the latest CVS builds anyway, as far as I know.

Peeps need to stay up-to-date!!

Yeah, I'm always using the latest and greatest versions.

Every bug-fix counts!
