Spring RTS Engine

you guys should post EE replays so people can figure out wtf this game is all about

It's all about the artillery. Arty pwns all. :p

THAT'S your porcing solution.

I move my air over your artillery.

Also Jackalope it's as easy as one two PLAY THE GAME! It's not rocket science, damn it!

Build hub. Build factory with hub. Expand with mexx's. Build mixed forces of artillery, anti-air, main battle tanks/bots and sheilds. Move out and attack. Keep attacking/manuvering till your enemy is a pile of corpses.

THERE! Done.

the porciness is caused because of players being afraid to attack.

Any player with a few games experience is gonna know how to break a defence line.

Bonus points for commented re-records :)

Upload some replays Darn it.. Saktoth.. any and all replays illustrating porcyness/ion tanks.. GO.. anyone else anything else.. the replays are small its not that hard to upload them and let people watch em...

I went ahead and posted a replay for ya, both to give a basic example of EE game play (for those that want one) and also point out another issue I've come across - GD's walls weren't exactly... walling anything off.
I don't know if this is map-specific or if it's a known issue, but I hope it's not so I don't look too retarded.

Oh and as far as being a game play example... um, something is better than nothing, right?

You can get it at Unknown Files. I'd post a link but... it won't let me... Because I'm too much of a noob I guess.

Also, that last screenshot on the DL page is an example of another minor issue I've noticed - vehicles tend to get stuck in wrecks a lot - something I haven't noticed in any other mod. Just wondering if that is supposed to happen/or if anyone cares.

the walls thing is a spring bug btw.

it's when you rotate buildings, spring messes up the footprint.

Both orientations even? Might as well just give GD 1x1 cube walls instead, until the devs can fix it.

I did notice they still stopped los weapons though.

Kudos, I havn't seen anyone play GD that well for some time (course I never play spring anyway, so thats not suprising).


As you can clearly see the guy in the top right tried to porc and failed miserably.

The gd walls are going to have to be made square for them to work properly again. When you rotate buildings the footprint doesn't rotate(or maybe it's the yardmap...), so therefore you have oblong walls that don't block.


Anyway, that was a fun game to watch.

Lo there Plz could we hear some info and reports on how the new EE version it coming along! Can't wait for the next race to come out and would like some previews of it

Thanks a lot

well, I am personally working on (with help from the other guys as well) possible RC beta's. I can't garuantee that fang will support all these changes and whatnot, and it's his mod so what he says goes.

That said We are hard at work with a new version beta RC. We will have new layout for the gui, easier to distinguish buildpics and lots of other really neat goodies, as well as massively improving certain gameplay aspects.

It's moving right along ;p

but to answer ur question Desolater NI is on hold right now due to Fang having to deal with RL

There are a lot of people testing and reviewing, so you will just have to wait and see...

Hmmm, that's a shame but it is nice to know that so much work is being done on the mod it will be good to see the changes that Forboding Angel is working on. Plz though could updates be given on the NI situation when they are done would be cool indeed

of course but don't get too excited as NI is gonna be a ways off...

I'd rather know what the "really neat goodies" and "certain gameplay aspects" might consist of!

After all, most Spring mods only have two sides anyway. EE pwns already.

Well the things I have worked on are not final changes. They are simply there to be considered and (hopefully, in my mind) implemented in one way or another.

We have already succeeded in making the ion tank viable again. We have made air transportation for GD much more viable (and fun!).

Lots of neat things are in the works.

Yay!

I haven't played Spring in a while (I last played it when it was still TA Spring), but checking on the forums, I've just found a reason to give it another go.

E&E is my favourite mod! The robots are okay, and I don't know about this third side (are they still in?) BUT I do absolutely love the GD. Tanks, tanks, tanks, artillery tanks, tanks with rockets, tanks with bigger artillery, NUCLEAR-FLINGING TANKS, and helicopters. :D

Walls of metal, pounding the opposition, the ground, the sky, and anything else that happens to be in the way, to dust.

Heeheeheehee. :D

I am redownloading Spring, and I am installing this. Thank yous!

I like EE but the few games I get to play generally de-synch before the end
