Spring RTS Engine

when i play speedmetal, i sometimes notice the wind is not 30 when its min is 30 and max is 30. it can go like 5-15 sometimes o_O

or was the min/max 25? anyways, there seems to be a bug.

oh and mod is BA

This happens occasionally on other maps too...

uhm maybe wind speed = not the same as energy

it is

Depends what the windGenerator tag is set to. Energy = windGenerator * wind. Although in BA this is 1, so energy is really equal to wind there.

it's not at max when the wind direction changes

The point is it seems to be less than min at times... Which shouldn't be possible, given the definition of min.

IMO the energy shouldnt change even if wind direction changes

LOL ofc it should, that's the whole point of wind energy.

I think what he meant was that it shouldn't go below min while changing direction...

yeah, or all my calculations becomes bullshit

how its possible wind direction changes so fast anyways

LOL thats just bullshit. The whole point of wind energy is that the wind SPEED changes between min/max

+ when you rotate your buildings, it looks like the wind blows from many directions at once, so theres no fucking reason to adjust the energy output while wind direction changes.

Ask modder to make windmill same as solar then apart from the model. Or just play a mod without windmills. Or just make solars.

How many energy a windmill can produce is related to wind speed btw (in real life)

For realism play Total War!

Either way, when the mapper sets the "wind" value to be from N to M, we expect the energy output of the windmill to be from N to M. If this is not the case, we need a formula for what the output will be.

IIRC the modder can give a maximum energy output of windmills. Could be multiplier or minimum too, don't exactly remember. Read source for details

WindGenerator = X, where X is the multiplier.

That's what the modder gets. And I've never seen a mod where the value wasn't "1".

With the obvious exception of CA, since they cut all energy by 10.

BTW in CA I love the way they have energy set up. The only real caveat is fractions, but meh, for CA it works extremely well.
