Spring RTS Engine

I played Spring a while back, probably a year or two ago, and I remember there being dots when you zoomed out. I don't mean radar dots, I mean dots SupCom style that made your units easier to spot when zoomed way out.

Was this taken out, or do I just have horrible memory?

is still there.
maybe the map is too small to zoom out far enough?
in springsettings.exe there is an option "unit icon distance"

I tried that, and eventually figured out the changes did not take place til I ran springsettings.exe as administrator. Fix'd.

probably windows 7 with user acount control

Precisely. I figured when I mentioned running as admin, that would be implied enough.

Useful opponent dots when in radar were removed by a bug in the current engine.

Don't put portable installs in program files

Oops. I did that, but running as admin worked fine.

Well, running as admin would work fine, but take a wild guess why putting a portable install in program files is a bad idea.

You can also use the icon distance slider.

car, that chili skin looks great! zk moving to that?

I wish it were default. It's selectable in the menu. Skin by luckywaldo.

What's stopping you :)?

Thanks, glad you like it. *^_^*

It didn't replace Robocracy as default theme because Robocracy is more consistent with website and lobby, with the teal and angular edges and all.

Changing through the menu works pretty well except that you need to manually enter "/luaui reload" after pressing the button because widgets aren't allowed to do it for you. Which sucks, but there are probably good reasons for it.

next time I play zk I am switching to that

this should be an automatic feature

what should? be precise

the dot/sprite feature, was a good one

it is still around...

learn to spring nub.

that's a great attitude to have towards noobs lol

notice the thread ''why nobody plays anymore?'' ?

make it harder to use, I'm sure more people will come
