Spring RTS Engine

urban assault? Really old game that came with a joystick I bought; kind of the same as spring with the fps control but more flexible and it was good fun back then. Wish more modern rts' did the same thing...

TODO:

mech models
-non copyrighted stuff, nothing from battletech universe etc

If you have the will to follow through with the development on the coding aspect of this, i'd be interested to help with models & textures etc.

*waves hand*

you are not interested in modelling and texturing for this

Sounds like a promising game!

Good to see people are willing to help :)

I intend to finish this game, but can't without modelers or people that make shiny effects etc. I'll send you a pm of criteria mech models must abide to sometime soon. Need to fix few bugs first.

Are you suppose to be able to shoot all 3 weapons at once? Atm you can. Also could you make the mouse buttons fire the weapons as well as the numbers?

Yes it is meant to be possible to fire all weapons at once. Mouse support will be added later on. This version is more of a 'tech demo' to demonstrate what are the possibilities.

play battlezone

I meant battlezone, it sucked.

Blasphemy. Battlezone kicked ass - I'd love to see a modernized version where you can have more than one human player in the same team. Battlezone 2 lost some of the charm, though.

one is available on xbox live .

Actually that's a remake of the original 80s vector arcade game, not the late 90s RTS/FPS(ish) hybrid, smoth

Well pxtl said he wanted battlezone not a sequel to battlezone. So I presume he means the original.

No, I know it's confusing, but I meant the '90s fps/rts. It also had a sequel, called Battlezone 2, which was another '90s fps/rts that had a lot more polish and some neat ideas, but imho lacked the charm of the first fps/rts one.

/me wants Madcat

Y'know, I have a lot of random mech models lying around that I'm not doing anything with...

Hmm. Follow me on this one.

Rez the Battletech mod and use the units that have currently been completed. Allow players to choose a house/faction in the game lobby (Davion, Liao, Steiner, Clan, etc.). Once the game launches, players vote on a commander before the game begins. Then, non-commanding players choose an available mech, depending on available funds. Commander chooses a start position, game starts, and a dropship deploys. From then on, mechs come out of the dropship and are controlled in Jaz's 1st/3rd person perspective, and duke it out on the battlefield. The commander plays in RTS 3rd person camera, and can build the wide variety of support vehicles you see in MechWarrior/Commander games (repair facility, copters, call in bombing strikes, etc.). Commanders can issue waypoints to help pilots maneuver around on the battlefield.

Then upload them and stick em under a usable liscence?

While im all for using content thats just sitting around on someones PC wasting away, this is asking for a C&D. AFAIK, the Mechwarrior IP is pretty securely guarded.

You can probably get away with it for a time but i think this project has a lot of potential. But thats ok, put the base under a free liscence and let it fork.

I'm too lazy to dig up the thread and quote anything, but I'm pretty sure the BattleTech mod found that making a mod based on BattleTech IP is legal. Besides, there are other higher profile BattleTech projects going on out there (the Crysis mod comes to mind), and I haven't seen any of those get pegged.
