Spring RTS Engine

optional FTW.

I doubt such a small amount of dat asuch as two coordinates what like for a game of 8 players a couple of "single" data types two identify coordinates or some equivlant in spring code would do it

Didn´t really read the thread, but no-one should be allowed to see my slowly moving cursor.....

this would suck so badly

something better would be AFK indicator....

I like this idea. Not exactly high priority (FIX DESYNCS DAMMIT) but not a bad suggestion. I vote yes.

optional FTW.

+1

Should make it so that there is a ball where the center of the screen of the player is, in 3d, then a line(vector) to the ball which is the cursor where it is projected onto the ground. Maybe a flat texture along the ground plane would be good for this.

Cool idea imo.

there is a sleight problem.
the curser exists within 2 dimensonal space.. which are different depending on where your camera is...

im sure you'd just use a sprite for it

steven used to always draw penises all over my base and it made me really mad

Yeah, they werent of the caliber he is used to...

I suggest we see the screen position in the minimap, as it was in the OTA.

wow.
24 yes, 24 no ...

Seems like the community is quite divided on this question =)

I vote YES, but optional, and I agree a screen position on the minimap could be cool too (optional too).

I still wonder how it could affect to your privacy
Only if you want to to lie that you didnt see something

It never bothered me in OTA, i actually liked that i can see what my allies are doing.

This would also reduce spamming the markers on the map, because you can see that the player is already watching that place.

i dont want people perving my cursor tbh

devs need to spend their time on something more important than this

Bleh, this aint hard thing to add, i think? It was in the old demo recorder at least...

Showing ally's screen position is an important feature. Their cursor isn't.

If that don't make more lag it should be good !!!

I dont think that would make any more lag than building one unit and moving it...

If its not to hard to implement,
and it dosn't cause lag,
and it is made option for both the viewer and the cursor position sender,
and it's not made to a high priority
then go ahead and do it.
