Spring RTS Engine

Thanks for the updates!
The maverick change is a neat idea (though I will need a few more test games to see if it really makes them interesting again).

+1.

Also thanks to simplify updates links (forum, SpringFILES), this is easier job for doing link updates on my website.

Updated to BA 8.17, with a few new widgets & minor fixes.

I've been playing BA lately and it keeps crashing when trying to join games (as a player). It crashes once or twice while loading but on the second or third attempt it works.

Maybe it has something to do with how many players have already joined the game (maybe my PC is faster than average now)

Your crash is in the engine and is not caused by BA, see http://paste.springfiles.com/view/7f645a19 for a translated stacktrace. You should put bugs like this onto mantis: https://springrts.com/mantis/my_view_page.php

Thanks for report raar, I creaetd mantis ticket here: https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=4781

edit #2: change of plan #2

We'll wait for Spring 100.0 before updating the BA hosts, the next BA release will also wait until then. Until then, we stick with 98.0 and BA 8.17.

The testing host BlackHoleHost7 will run ba-test and latest-ish spring-dev versions as normal. TS values are now used on the testing host (thanks bibim!).

BA 8.18, which should be used with Spring 100.0+, can be found here viewtopic.php?f=44&t=33671.

Locked.
