Spring RTS Engine

The "Spring RTS Engine" and "Spring Project" is entirely appropriate in my opinion and hinders the project in no observable game... the Lack of a Flagship game with a complete single player campaign is. (sorry, one MTR deserves another)

Hey, it's andrew WK - I saw that guy live at a music festival in Aus. Didn't know he was that well known.

Progress in this department is subject to roadblocks that lie in the community forum politics and are totally avoidable. Simply state definitively how missions are to be started with the backing of the developers and work on a campaign builder will start.

(I certainly hope this isn't another one of those paradoxical situations where developers stay out of a discussion for fear of making ti worse even though the very act of a developer entering the thread is what is needed to resolve the issue, and the whole issue arose because the devs didn't make things clear! Like the gpl widgets discussion and the logo threads and missions threads and the new website threads and the..... )

I love that one song of his.

AHEM!
Yeah, that was in the other thread where his idea was rejected.

the reason people come in looking for TA is that most sites describe spring as such. Although i was surprise to see an article about gundam on a blog:

I have spent hours in springlobby giving resonable explanations to YAN, there is no presenting of a point to YAN, there is his perspective and all others are wrong.

This is in a nutshell why I can't stand Yan. He's been that way since he argued with me about why he was muted in #main once and how he was going to get the mods back before I was even a mod. He made some nice maps though.

Spring is a pretty unique name, but when thinking of the impression spring has when people surf the net and are looking to download new things, TBH, it probably sounds like some kind of faggotry to them.

First impressions can be pretty important so its probably worth discussion.

ive been on the internets for a while, but what does MTR mean? its used often in this forum , and ive tried googling it to no avail.

(im gonna kick myslef when i find out what it means lol.. )

Anyway, i think Gota/Yan should shut his compaining , Spring RTS is a fine name.

Smoth: talking with people for hours never guarantees they will agree with you at the end. That being said, this is not an objective issue, it's really an issue of preferance. It's personally my preferance to keep the name the way it is, and I think that this is the case for the majority of springers. If there were signifigant pressure though I'd consider having a vote take place.

If you're worried about obscurity call it 'Awesome Free RTS' to catch people who are bored and are googling for games. Even this post may catch people.

Yan is a tard which is a well known fact. Just use the search function to see if this isn't justified. Doesn't matter what he says, he always expresses himself in the wrong way and sort of made a habit of pissing everyone else off, minus a selected few. Not that he's doing on purpose I guess, but still.

Is that a promise?

I like the name Spring. Took me a while to find it, but the user base seems reasonable and between the internet and word of mouth it should get known.

The best long term predictor for the number of people using something is not how well it is publicised but how good it is, and with the latest surge of improvements Spring is starting to look too competitive to be permanently obscure to me.

Im just gonna take a risk and throw out... Command Engine?

I was looking at moddb and there was a group trying to do a spring-like open source RTS engine. It would be much better if they just joined the spring team and integrated their game into the spring engine. The community seems to be growing nicely, and I'd like to see more mods in development.

^^There it is. Now thats a shitty name.

it probably takes too much time to integrate a game into some other game, which why they arent gonna do it.

And when you look that game files, you notice there is XML shit used in all of their setting files... i hate XML...
