Spring RTS Engine

Win the chance to show picasso were hes gone wrong. As reward you gain a view on the not-finnished gatefortress texture.


No one? Well, got to troll some more, to get the critizens i adore.

if (mathsymb=*)

for comparing must use == instead of =
"*" instead of * because you want a string

ie

if (mathsymb == "*")
or
if (mathsymb == '*')
when you use a char

knorke wrote:if (mathsymb == "*")

In C, you can't compare strings like that. Because string are arrays of characters, and you can only compare the single characters. You must use strcmp (or code yourself a loop) to compare strings.

knorke wrote:if (mathsymb == '*')
when you use a char

yes. Except mathsymb wasn't declared as char.

Also, PicassoCT, do you know you don't need to know any C to mod Spring?

yea, in C you must use strcmp but i am pretty sure == is a operator in C++'s string class. (i assume he is doing c++ because of cin and cout)
At least it has always worked for me.

cool anthill btw!

Thx for the answer, will try, standby... it works, it works, thx, thx, hurraj, it does what it does, this is fun. Like solving riddles on logicgolems that can walk and talk.

IM NOUNCING MY DESIGNDECISION!

First Thing first.

This Thing is the Hive, it is a journeymanbuilding, made by bob. It is a geothermal Building, a alternative to the microintensive ViralFactory.
It spawns (nearly costfree) Waves of Units, like Antlions, Bugs, Hydras & Rhinos (Bob everywhere.), adding a Towerdefense element for the CentrAIL Players. Now, if you read carefully, you know that there are baitbuildings, who will "re"-turn this into a advantage for advanced players. Two Geos in opposite hands level each other as advantage.

The Artillery

Will get a third type of ammonition. In addition to Darkmatter (Normal) and SpineSnake-Shells (TakeoverofEnemys), it gets the Headcrab Shell, able to raise corpses within range, into headcrab zombies, who attack everything on sight.
Headcrabs by Bob.


The BlackGuardMTW,
[/URL]
gains the Ability to Combine (with support Con_Vehicles of Curse) any features on the map > 5000 hps. Thus equipped, they turn function_wise into a fortified position.

I broke the holy feature freeze, because through the cooperation with bob, we both might gain textured units (i will start texturing the headcrab). It seemed worthwile, and will certainly add more halflife to the Journeywar. Mea Maxima Culpa.

Another Designdesicion is, that for the Stridersynth(High), the Collissiondetection of the DistrictNone and some Journeymantraps, will be deactivated.


Finally, i finnished texturing the gatefortress, a Transformertrain, that rails a Stargate through wich it rolls. Was a bitch, because everything is edgy and stretchy, tex is 512 x 512

Stay focussed, stay tuned, thx for your attention. Coments very much appreciated.

One last Addition, the CentrAIl gains the TransitNode - a sort of slow UnitTeleporter...

I love the concept and animation of the structure that moves by feeding itself through a small wormhole. Have you done the effect for the other end of the teleporter?

You mean looping the animation backwards? :) Its easy, its cheesy, itsa me, Dirty Haxxaround.

Small Vid of the Transitnodes Animation (Little Cars & Trucks buzzing by) it should give the CentrailsCity a feeling of more activity

Redid some parts of the Cityblock- made it more Futuristic..

You can see the old version on the left.

That's cheating!

The 'head' and the 'tail' of the city are different, the most obvious difference is that the head has that blue wall after it. If you run the animation backwards it will enter the portal tail first and leave head first which makes no sense.

Its a magic, cut that, its a nanotech, fairydust portal, that transforms colour, form and function, hell, are you trying to slap me with the realism flyswatter, google_frog? Im not doing a HL3 here, oh, well i do, but the whole RealDeal aint invalved. :)

INB4 Google Frog catches the real logic error: If a Gate is fired (and manufactured, and the train moves through the gate, then who collects gate?

Answer: Self+D

Whenever the BLACKGUARD MTW arrives and COMBINES a FEATURE on the MAP (includes the corpses of Enemy Buildings)

This is pulled around the feature, gaining the hitpoints of a fortified position and the sniper_weapon

Imagine the feature inside the orangebox.



Also, related to the pms on the puddlejumperness of the gatefortress, the bug(geohive) and the g-man visible in the shroudshrike. You cant steal from so many franchises at the same time, Picasos is no argument. Im aint stealing, im getting inspired, robbing good of the intertubes always was my hero.

i was lurking deviantart for some neato stuff and found this http://neolight.deviantart.com/art/Buil ... me&qo=1128

thought about u immediently i suggest taking look at his other concepts, top quality stuff

This issss very related to my interests...

As reward, the "Turret" of the Combined Feature



There is no rule, written anywhere, that turrets have to look liek turrets

Added two turrets to the Journeys- one beeing a piece of rainforrest (jamtower)

The other beeing a fungiforrest (preventing anything from living in the closer surroundings)

ARgh!!

Turrets must look like turrets! Don't go down the path of countless wc3 TDs, it looks really really really stupid.

Why? Because guards constantly stand in positionl, and turning on the spot? This Tower would be the only Time i do this, you dont see the combmine assasine until you zoom in (the white sunshadethingy prevents this). Every other Turret is mainly CrimeContaimentCapsules or Turrets itself (Railgunlike)

Pictures of the Rainforrest (Textured)

Basically a Jamtower, lowering the LOS of every Unit coming near.


and the fungiforrest (pre-coloured)

Fungiforrests will look like green grasshills from the side, and like really bizarr stuff from above. They also will have a green glowing decall, and kill everything coming closer to them (journeyman or CentrAIl Units&Buildings alike)
Only Artillery and Air get this thing away again. Thx goes to wombat.

Journeyman: ConRoach


Imagine this creatures coming, line after line, vannishing in constructionsites, out which even stranger creatures appear...

Undecided witch unit to texture next: Close your eyes, take the spreadsheet. Hit, first post gets to comand which unit is next on the list.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... li=1#gid=1

Long List is long.

got any screenshots of this stuff ingame yet?

ported - 0

seriously, i still think these dont need any texture xD

i check 'game development' on deviantart every day so ill post more hopefully

bottom left could be nice airplant :D
