Spring RTS Engine

there is an engine release forth coming

holy f*** a link

go test your shit..


that was SOO HARD TO DO

Can do without the sarcasm smoffles.


For those who missed the hoo-hah in #sy:

https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/5 ... ngelog.txt

All changes marked with ! are potentially game-breakers.

How long until next release? Days? Hours?

Can someone please explain this?

Lua:
! removed deprecated UnitDef[] tags:
type
maxSlope
canHover
floater (use udef.floatOnWater)
isBuilder (use udef.builder)
canDGun (use udef.canManualFire)
canCrash
isCommander

(use udef.floatOnWater) <<--- Why the hell would I want to do that when I could use a tag previously? How is this an improvement?

Replace floater with floatonwater

Floz's changelog is slightly out of date, this is more recent.

Long story short, most or all of the old unitDef tags except isCommander should still work.

There was a discussion about these changes in #sy. At the end there was a commit that recovers backward compability for those tags except isCommander. Still very likely these tags get deprecated in the next version (print an error when used), and get removed in like 2-3 releases later.

Actually jk, while I appreciate the explanation.

That was the answer I was looking for. Sometimes you guys are a little ... off with the changelogs. Would have been better to say x tag is replacing y, so that nubs like myself don't get confused.

Tag doesn't change forb - only how to read it in lua.

Thanks for making my point for me. I didn't realize that.

Communication is a problem, that's not news.
