Spring RTS Engine

If not is there anyway to do it?

I have played TAUCP on SPRING already, but its very buggy. I you want to try just put the TAUCP UFO file in your Sprind dir.

I'm trying to convert the WWII mod (I forget what it's called... But I love it. :D), but when I'm done I'll do TAUCP.

It's really not all that hard to convert from TA to Spring.

What i was wondering...

How serious is that damn 2048x2048 texture size issue?
Those mods use MANY more units than OTA... how much headroom is there, usually?

It's not too serious. I don't know the pixelcount in OTA tex, but it's not much. There's quite a bit of room there.

Once they get some singleplayer working, you can do the copy+paste .ufo's for addon units just like OTA.

I went over the limit when I brought over my custom units.....it's like the ID issue all over again D:

It depends, doing a raw conversion is very easy: eh, just put all the files of a TA mod into Spring folder, without any change, and most of it will work. Converting custom texture takes a couple second. But ensuring everything works fine and fixing all that doesn't is very hard and very time consumming.

Not to mention balance finetuning...
Springs Mex-radius and auto radar targeting alone is enough to seriously confuse things....

I'm working on converting TAUCP 2.3 to work on Spring...

It's crashing Spring on game-start. These are the errors printed out in the infolog.txt when I run the game (and crash out...)

I have a feeling those missing unit errors are because TAUCP depends on TA:CC content. How can I import TA:CC content? I tried copying the contents of ccdata.ccx into my mod, but that caused more errors than it fixed. Is that the way to go?

I was told that the unit category error isn't a fatal one, so I'll worry about that last....

Thanks for any help you all can provide.

Is it AATA? If so, you may want to check this thread.....

You may want to check the date of that post.

I believe you can make a content file, but the SYs may be the best people to ask. We have OTA content files for use in the engine, XTA and AA rely upon then...
