Lag is way to painfull, and if anyone would get to queen, id like to shake your hand and tell you to get a job

Net code is not optimized for something like this. Could we have some sort of lag management using lua, or some net code changes?

O_o This mod is AMAZING. I love it.

Some little stuff tho:
Using the top-down camera allows the spherebot to rotate 360 degrees, while 3rd person is still limited to 180. (also, does he run slower when turned sideways??)

I prefer the top down as its a bit easier, due to the 360 rotation, but the camera doesn't track, and in order to focus on the spherebot again you must stop firing and move the mouse to the border of the screen. Imo the top-down camera should automatically track your boi.

I got the queen angry, but then when i got in range, her spore shooters erupted and killed my guy in two salvos :(

The money/upgrades would make a very nice feature.

This + War Evo = OMEGA WIN

this looks awesome and i can't wait to try it

i'm sure some of you guys have tried "aeon of strife" or DOTA for warcraft 3, i can't help but imagine how kickass that sort of game mode would be on spring using this as a base.

good show!

This + WarEVO would be good, but war evo is heading ina an entirely different direction. so no, they will never join together.

Doesn't work.

More precisely, I selected my bot and tried the keys:
w,a,s,d,x,q,p,m and nothing happened.
Wanted to check for any widget, and oddly F11 made a jpg screenshot.

TradeMark joined my game, and constated the same for he said: Doesn't work, used to work in previous spring version.

I didn't abandon this. Just stopped developing it for a while because i was waiting for new spring version. Now that it's out I'll probably resume working on it sometime soon.

This released version is for older spring. And has inefficient 'netcode' which I remade for the next version.

Sorry to rez, but would your latest version be available? I'm quite interested in this, and will probably try to fix up the last release otherwise, but there's no point in duplicating effort, right :) ?
If you do have a newer version, that would be great (especially as you hinted you improved the netcode, and that would be important for me). If it ran, that would just be bonus :D.

Latest version I made, problem is that some things changed in this spring version and I didn't locate what is causing the errors yet. It should work like a charm with 0.76b1.
