Spring RTS Engine

Posted: **15 Dec 2005, 04:21**

Yo! I've been watching this forum for some time, maybe even before most of you(too bad I don't come often), but just now I've got bored enough to try to code something. I already took a small peek at Zaphod's(really impressive man, nice code, professional looking), Alantai's(big one, a bit messy), and if my memory isn't failing, cain's. Well, that was long time ago.

If I get over my lazyness and actually take this seriously there's a minimal change I get something done. I never coded anything seriously, much less a dynamic library, so I still consider myself a beginner-to-intermediate class of coder.

Just for your curiosity, I'm not coding anything yet, just looking around to find the entry point. Also I'm taking a different path from you guys, my code will be done almost exclusively on Linux. Heh, I haven't even tried to get the game working here before anything, but that's just a small detail

I don't even know if my hardware will support it... oh well

I just need one info: Where can I find the AI interface functions, are they documented somewhere or will I have to look directly at Spring's source?

Oh, BTW, I'm planning to take the name ren'AI for the project.

You should call it AIren (rhymes with "siren")

check the sticky in this forum, it has the API

You'd have no choice but to make it linux and windows compatible.

Next version of NTAI has a lot of commenting added. Basic structure beign cglobal AI creates a global class, global class creates agent classes, each agent class does its own thing.

Or just a copy paste of the API found at the source. I suppose it's better this way.

and for the actual DLL/SO interface, start with NTAIs/JCAIs Interface.cpp, that one's windows/linux compatible.

look at the addition I amde to my interface.cpp that i posted in the thread about information and the dll interface

edit::

Code: Select all

DLL_EXPORT void WINAPI GetInfo(char* name)
{
   strcpy(name,"NTAI V0.29.05, a skirmish AI coded by Alantai");
}
DLL_EXPORT float WINAPI GetVersion()
{
   return 0.2905f;
}
