I need to get some kind of way to link the installers to the spring engine downloads page. that way people looking at hte engine can grab a game installer and test the game to get a feel of what spring can do.

but what is it again??? Ba, XTA copy rigth issues????

i can associate it with the engine somehow.

i Sugest the folowing, Contact beta, ZK works fine, gundam, Evo.
I may post a FF instaler (its simple but it works).

You want projects associated with it, or just instalers???

Evo is already on indiedb. Most of the other projects are not though.

The list looks like it covers pretty much everything: http://www.indiedb.com/engines/spring/games

Evo, contact, gundam are on indiedb. IIRC ZK is still de-TAificating it's self.

Actually at this point there should be no TA content left, except for a few of the unit names.

Unit names could be safely ignored :) I believe that Zeus isn't trademarked :)

luckywaldo7 · Post by **luckywaldo7** » 29 Dec 2010, 01:42

One of those is Evolva, the other is by Mr. D.
:D

luckywaldo7 · Post by **luckywaldo7** » 29 Dec 2010, 02:15

Nah, if ZK had to give up on all the content that was originally planed as a TA unit remake, there would be pretty much no content left. And probably people who aren't familiar with CA/XTA/SA probably won't even associate them as closely with TA anyway. (Your morty is still around btw, it just shoots slowbeams now instead of plasma. :D)

Licho wrote:Unit names could be safely ignored :) I believe that Zeus isn't trademarked :)

Is this permission to make a profile?

Actually though Zeus is alright, it is more obvious TA-isms like "rocko" I want to get rid of.

Anyway, we digress.

ACK! That's still IP infringement! :-/

Well, better than just taking OTA models outright.

In reality, it's only one engine version late: Kernel_Panic_4.1_Including_Spring_0.82.5.1_Installer23_115mb.exe

I hadn't realised that when I update the file, the date stays the same.

No more IP infringing than Gundam RTS or Imperial Winter though, seeing as the models are completely new and only "inspired" by units in another game.

With ZK I think we are waiting for pollish things like SP missions and lobby. The art stuff is all as free as the art in many game remakes in that it is based on something but made from scratch.

luckywaldo7 wrote:Actually though Zeus is alright, it is more obvious TA-isms like "rocko" I want to get rid of.

Zeus - Bot that shoots lighting.
Rocko - Bot that shoots rockets

The names are not particularly inspired. But I see your point and there are some units with less generic names that could be renamed.

I think this arguement totally overlooks the fact that indiedb is for indie games, not TA mods running under spring.

As for Moddb and *A, go make your profiles anyway, there's already an AA from what I can remember, and probably an ancient XTA, aswell as various OTA mods, heck AA got onto sourceforge

Advertise, make profiles, do pretty videos and shiny banners, make cups/mugs, tshirts, just dont tarr non*A and the engine itself with the toxic Atari IP taint that has half the opensource gaming community treating us like the plague already.

I dont get it. Why is everybody against fringing? GOTA is absolutly right, its TArdition.

TArdition, tardition! TArdition!
TArdition, tardition! TArdition!

Who, day and night, must scramble for a host-percentage,
Feed his factorys and nanotowers, calm his fanbois?
And who has the right, as master of the dsd-hosts,
To have the final word at home?

The BA, the BA! Tardition!
The BA, the BA! Tardition!

Who must know the way to make a proper mod,
A quiet mod, a kosher mod?
Who must raise the standard and run the mod,
So BA's free to reap the hole-lua-book?

The CA, the CA! TArdition!
The CA, the CA! TArdition!

For free, I started Gundam. At tree its ready made.
I hear they've picked a magcover for me. For the *As it now gets gritty.

The GundAnn(hilation), the GundAnn(hilation)! TArdition!
