Spring RTS Engine

Gimme some new upgrades

1. Can somebody reach Optimus and either tell him to update the game, or to pass the torch?
2. I'm working on a few maps that may be suitable for War Evolution.
3. Would any of you object to a King title?

i m still reading the forum, so you can reach me right here. But actually i have no motivation to mod for Spring for different reasons. One is that on vista Spring runs very slow (on my machine) and that mods for spring have a VERY hard life if they want to stay alive, not only because people work more against each other but also because the community is small.
So i decided to mod for Supreme Commander right now (this will not be the end of me in the spring community - so prepare for a return in the far future).

But if anyone wants to mod War Evolution, just do it. But the person should be very serious about it and have some good skills. I also want that the way the mod goes will be in the direction i tried to move it.
I dont want to have for example a fun mod where units fly 1000 meters (ok they sometimes already do so, but more by accident), or unrealistic comic like weapons. It shall be more like a mech warrior simulation.

edit: if the mod has some bugs or imbalancenesses, tell me and i will try to do some work on that. But for new units, i have no time.

Optimus, have you heard about the Community Promotion plans? I am going to involve your works in them, if that is alright with you.

No i havent, but do so if you want :)

Alright then. Keep on rolling.

great mod

Heh, I thought you were one and the same from the SupCom community.

Hiya :)

Someone please take this project and continue in development...

Ill update its graphic effects. I might add a speed increasement upgrade for the hell of it, seems to be lacking that.

Don't know if anybody would be bothered to make them, but this mod, more than any other, cries out for lua fps huds

I might look into adding some lua stuff to make a better UI if Optimus doesnt mind.
My inital ideas are:
Replacing the ON/OFF switch with a graphical weapon selector
Adding something which shows details of all your mechs possible upgrades and the ones you already have
A team list showing the health of all your allies
Thoughts?

well in .75 this mod just screams Deployment LUA that way teams can actually plan out what mechs they are gonna take using ally chat rather than picking somewhat blindly in the battlescreen and then winging it...

*Deployment LUA
*LUA FPS Huds
*Speed Upgrade (I would do a slight max speed, slight turn radius and slight braking speed upgrade)
*Replacing the ON/OFF switch with a graphical weapon selector
*Adding something which shows details of all your mechs possible upgrades and the ones you already have
*A team list showing the health of all your allies

This look good to you lads?

The King title.

your ideas sounds all good so far.
But to the speed upgrade: i dont know if that would not break the feeling of the mod (think of a faster pyro) and you also dont have an optical effect for that - i wanted to make all upgrades visible. But if you have a good plan on that - just try it.
Good Luck with it! What you also need is a cool trailer

Hi, I would just like to offer my help to improve war evo, I am a pretty basic modder at the mo but I have time and I would really like to help your update project if I can.

I will make your trailer!
