Spring RTS Engine

Ever played Mech Assault? That game was total win.

Should rip some ideas from them

I'm thinking maybe a boost or jump jet system that lasts for 5 seconds and takes 20 seconds to recharge and use again or something.
That'd be interesting :D

Hey, looks cool. Side / Circle strafing could be pretty easy, in terms of the Lua... just bind keys to make your currently-controlled guy MoveCtrl a wee bit every frame. Harder to do, animation-wise, you'd have to pass an interrupt and start a sideways movement, but it's all solveable. Lemme know, if you get the game mechanics really tight, I'd be willing to skin a couple of things for something like this, when I'm through with P.U.R.E.'s current version.

Double negative?

But a unit doesn't obey any physics rules when it's under movectrl does it?

cool take our models if youd like to use them, rr the ones lynx textured

Error: Cannot find "wahtever" corcoms. What gives?

you need to play it in the lobby, not using spring.exe becaus it will spawn commanders, but you dont have commanders so it doesnt work.

(Sorry about the delay)

Here's my collection of mechs that aren't bound to any particular project

There's 4, and one of them is textured: I tossed in the .tga and .psd file as well (it's WIP texture by the way) - it's the main reason the file is so big for four models. The other three are modelled but not mapped or textured. They're all in .wings format.

Then make it. The ball in Pong is under movectrl.

Are these available for use in TD?

They're there for anyone who wants them (so yes, basically)

I am currently working on a mod that is meant to be played rts style, but with fps interaction as well. When this is in a more working state ill steal the code because this is much better than spring's default fps system.

You did a great job! I feel really cool after killing a few thousand chickens

You need a way to stop the uberlag, maybe let a wave come, and the next one after you've killed the current wave will help, and something like you get $1 a chicken kill, between waves you can purecase something like a weapon upgrade, more health, ect..

Win win!

Get moar models, add a krog next time., then add tanks, like a bulldog or that goliath, then planes, then ultimately
NUKES!!!!!!YEAH! NUKES!!!NUEKS!!!

V Need more balance V

Still waiting for the PM.

Don't worry I didn't forget about it. Just didn't have time solving model issues since there are a lot more serious problems to solve first.

Basically a mech model must fit into it's hitsphere as good as possible.
The weapon emmiters must at all times be outside this hitsphere, a good example is the currently used model, it has a weapon that sticks out from the hitsphere. This is absolutely necessary. Other than that, style of the mechs doesn't have to be consistent, they must have legs/wheels/tank-like thing(dunno name), torso, head, and multiple weapon slots (at least 2). Arms and the like are completely up to you. Torso will always be the center of the mech. To it are all other parts connected. They should not be replicas of copyrighted models from mechwarrior etc.

Example of ideal mech: If possible, their animation should be synchronized with their current velocity. Also during walking/whatever weapon emmiters/weapons should not move.

This looks brilliant. For FPS/RTS hybrid love, check out

Are you looking to make a FPS/RTS combo, or not? 'Cause one thing NS does that Empires Mod (Source/ Halflife 2) doesn't is allow direct interaction between the commander and the FPS players: he can drop health, ammo and radar sweeps on people which makes for a very nice dynamic between players. It's important that anyone one your team might be the person to save your arse, commander included.

HUGE problem.

You cant shift esc and quit.

if you alt tab your mouse doesnt move from the center.

huge lag.

Edit: Don't worry about updating it, its epic lag system and borky controlls make it a mod i wont be playing again lol
