Spring RTS Engine

Most of us tech savy people here probably have small flash drives in our key changes ranging from 512-2024mB's. My suggestion is that we all band together and make a 512mb Community Installer. It could be put on CD's to give out to friends and on our flash drives to easily distribute to local computers.

What it would include would be basically EVERY mod + regular installer stuff. And we could include maps which are usually played. And theres over 300mb's left of space which we could use for maps. It would make getting started at spring a whole lot easier. Instead of guiding your buddies on how to do everything at first using that barebone regular installer.

I'm down with that.

my thumb drive is 32mb : (

You're in luck. We call it the Spring installer.

4 gigs.




to the op, you can just zip up spring. boom, done. That is what I do.

My spring folder is currently 4.2 gigs... although I'm pretty sure 90 some odd percent of that is map textures for maps I never use

[edit] And frigging AA patches... caydr you tard, releasing something new every week.

pls make this so we stop getting noobs spamming chat with WTF WY DO I HAVE TO DONWLOAD A MOD THIS GAME SUX

How about a 650 MB installer? You can guess what that'd fit on.

no they are thinking hey i downloaded this free game thats like 30 megs, i can delete it and never play it again and not give a fuck

This is a good idea but I think the game's not mature enough yet. There are only a small handful of release-quality mods, and their content changes frequently.

If there could be a basic resource package that most mods draw on, while only including changed/additional content, that would still help a lot though.

...Trouble is, we've already got it. otacontent.sdz.

I can make an installer. The trouble is its alot of space left for maps..Not sure what maps to choose from..But yeah i've also been thinking of the fact that mods update.

I would probably update the installer every month.

Better yet, an auto updating system. I tried to get one of those set up but got frustrated before too long.

or we could get a fucking mod button in the lobby that shows details of a mod and links to info etc...


/me grumbles about something we have wanted for over a year now!

cup & jc industries are working on a solution!

We'd have had this in AFLobby builds by now if iamacup was co-operative however his increasingly hostile stance makes it unlikely.

af, calling him increasingly hostile publicly doesn't help you with interaction between the two of you.

There doesnt seem to be anymore interaction so I fail to see the point

it is because there is no reason we cannot be civil.
