I have no idea how mods work, I've only been able to install and play 1 mod... thought it was all spring.

My bad.

It's fucking impossible to install new mods, so that's why I'm assuming all this shit is spring.

It takes me a maximum of about, 3 minutes to install a mod or a map the long manual way.

seriously, unless your closed minded enough to believe that things should just appear instantly when you start a engine like this, your saddly wrong, and yes i agree we need noobs to stay to make the engine and community survive, but if we have people like you join the game, i'd be happy to play the same 10 people over and over again.


Check your attitude, and instead of crying, and making yourself look a right idiot to the community your trying to join, simply ask politely to be told what to do.

Not only is there enough documentation in the actual spring folder that you have on your computer, that if you wanted it any more clearer, it would be in CAPS under the file name "HEYIGNORANT.txt"


Now i help every new person who i see on the lobby, i help here on the forum, and i go out of my way to even make friends with most of the people who join spring.

I dont appreciate players like you, who take people like me or the rest of this community for granted, as i dont get paid for this, and nor does anyone else here. This is an open source engine with many mods, not games attach to it.

Now i suggest you keep your temper under control and stop comparing spring to TA. TA was a closed source game, with a paid team of developers, with paid jobs to make everything run as smoothly.

A simple Q. and A. along with some opinions and suggestions rather than double posting about 10 times about the same issue.

There is no cheating spring without the command /cheat appearing to everyone.

CA is not the only mod on spring

And for the last time


TA != Spring engine


It purely has fan art of the game

I agree with Spawn on this one.

A quick inspection of your /Spring/ install folder would have revealed 3 very important folders.

Docs: Includes helpful things like Documentation (iow help files)

Maps: A place to put maps.

Mods: A place to put mods/games.

gray666, if you are SO well acquinted with TA , you should be able to remember things like copying files into your /Cavedog/TA/ folder, because TA didnt magically load files off of your desktop/downloads folder either.

Same applies for modifications and maps for virtually any commercial game. Once you download them, they have to be moved into the correct place, or they dont load.

Granted, *some* of the setup things for Spring are not obvious (opening ports, and some of the things required to get Spring working on Vista and Win7) but most people (ie almost anyone with a triple digit IQ) should be able to figure out where to put things so that it will work, alternatively, there is ArchiveMover, which automagically puts things in the correct place when you doubleclick them.

Compared to some commercial software (not necessarily games) Spring is dead-easy to setup and use. Just requires a bit more in-depth knowledge of how your computer and network is setup than "I know how to send an email and look at pictures on the internet"

I'm pretty sure gray666 is a smurf/troll and not a real newbie.

Probably Journier or something.
