Spring RTS Engine

Are you tired with XTA, try this balance mod!!

Major changes from OTA/XTA:

- LLT's are cheap (less than 100 m)
- All missles are now anti air only!! Rockets still hit both.
- Instigators are quite good
- Krogoth is amphious (and killable, "only" takes 6 - 7 nukes)
- U got Floatin radar/hovercraft plant
- Level 2 units are better than level 1 units, but level 1 units aren't renderd useless (well of course that is my opinion)
- Big Bertha and Intimidator hav better ranges than XTA, Vulcan and Buzzsaw shoot even futher.
- Underwater mohoextractor, underwater mohometal maker
- Nuclear missles really kills stuff
- Minelayer which can charge up with rockets, for minefield sweeping
- Core has exploiters (metal extractor + LLT turret) with excellent armor against EMG units, Also a Moho version availible
- Most ships have Lasers added on them
- The Core Executioner has its cannon replaced for 2 big ass lasers

- Slight increase in maxslope of the hovers
- The Gimp fires torpedo's when in the water

If u find bugs please report them here.

Some eyecandy:

man I need to get a card that's good enough to support reflections...

Reflectons are cheap... they run on my 3year old radeon 9500 at 1280x1024 without problems. Shadows are an entirely different matter, though :)

I got a 2 year old 9200... it was very cheap... it has a lot of issue...

Also i still need a nice logo for it..

Nice!
All knows bug have been fixed?

Have you got any plan for the futur of the mod ? (As everybody know, Spring break the balance of a lot of units, so, even if UH was balanced in OTA, it's not in Spring)

Or new races ? ^^ (I ask that question for all mods)

to determine how broken the balance is, we first need lots of games..

Hey, can we have a loosely defined "UH time" on the client, meaning Uhers should look for each other during certain hours on like Saturday or Sunday? I'd like to know when other UHers come on.

[edit] also, is the Badger's laser-resistance fixed?[/edit]

[edit] I also noticed that the devestator behaves a little funny when it is first built, it didn't go into attack mode automatically until you force-fired it once I think. something with the script I'll bet.[/edit]

I don't think that the Lazer immunity is working, also The core aa hovercraft does not fire at air units.

I noticed that some times when jammers are up, while you cannot see the units on your radar (or map) that they will be shot at any way (anoying the victem). Meaning you have your opponents base under radar or have units neer by (but not in los) and they still shoot even though they have a jammer up.

While I have not observed this bug myself, (I do play core mostly) the care rapier at least some times fires at the ground rather that at its targets. This may have been due to the maps gravity. I have not personaly expeirnced this but when I played against some one they had this problem.

I can't recall any others but I thought there was one more.

My GeForce FX 5700 supports reflective water and shadows (only in windowed mode).

It's not expensive anymore so I suggest you try to get one.

I was quite pleased that I could run Spring on 90FPS when turning off all the major features...

I'll download UH and see what could change about it..

Thanks MrSpontaneous. for reporting those bugs

tested that and that's not true... You notice that because the radar also jams your radar... But the units some how still do hav radar, only u can't see it.

Sorry that was badly worded, what I mean is the base I am shelling has a jammer up, and my units have radar. Now they are not in los, and my oppenent has a jammer up so. . .should not automaticaly fire. but they do any way (sometimes).

hope that is more clear
sorry if it was already clear :S

I have confirmed that the rapiers do fire strait donw. and are rather usless.
so. . .there ya go

it's already fixed in the new version

the radar/jammer issue is spring wide, not Uberhack specific

How do I get UH to work? I replaced it with the XTA mod file, but then Spring i missing all sorts of stuff on loading

Jon M.

just put the .sd7 file into your /mods/ folder

No, that doesn't work, but emptying the XTA mod file of data and replacing it with the UH data makes it work

Jon M.

Putting it into /mods/ works for online play.

Offline play doesn't have the mod selection menu.

I can not seam to get the devestator to fire, even force firing or going into it.
Just kinda reminding people
