Spring RTS Engine

Hello TA Faithful...

I found this after was looking at New game Reviews and moved on the the forums and Saw TA come up and i was like that game was kick ass. SO after reading a bit i saw Spring come up a few Times so i Googled it and Found this place.

I downloaded the client and Online Lobby files and then started working on the maps ( way to many ). its 3:45am PST cant find any Battles or rather im not sure if i have everything i need Plz Help. the Screen shots looked really good hope to get it up and going soon.

Ok got all loged in. now i have a an Error on Load not sure how to fix the Problem talked to some online and they said Reload and Be sure to save maps and Mod. any ideas?

I have a strong Box any ideas for Settings?

Edit: nm

One sure way to fix it is to uninstall spring, then reinstall. Don't bother downloading ALL the maps or ALL the mods - odds are you'll only play a few mods, and only a couple dozen maps are frequently played. It's a simple process to download said maps while in the client.

i reinstalled ill try it again.
is there a List of maps and Mods that are most used?

Off the top of my head the only must have mod I can think of is whatever is the current version of AA (Absolute Annihilation by Caydr). You might want to check out SWTA(Star Wars TA), FF(Final Frontier)... there's other mods out there to but they are either unpolished and thus not very popular yet, or they were released recently and thus I haven't had a chance to try them now that school has picked up and I can only make like 1 game a week.

Maps: Definately cometcatcher, maby greenhaven, castles used to be popular, the Xanth maps are pretty much a must have... There are acctually tonnes of great maps out there, which is kind of sad because people only have so much time that only a few have really caught on and been mastered by the masses.

Best of luck getting everything working!

Like swiftspear said, with xta and AA you got 95%, the rest can easily wait until you are more familiar with spring.

And i wouldnt worry about maps if you have a decent internet connection. Just join and click on the minimap for the auto-loader. On most maps you will be finished downloading before the people have finally got a consens which teams to form,ect.

Jesus Christ! I've Been playing TA regularly since it came out and yet only just found out about this place. You guys have done a fantastic job of retaining and even improving the gameplay of the original - look forward to playing against some of you in the future.

It's be awesome if this page also tracked what maps are played, no? Someone should post about it. (not me, I've already used up my quota of whining for this month)

It's February now Caydr, so you're good to go.

Or which AI's are played and wether they won or not?

Maybe the AIs played... but I think reporting win/loss statistics is beyond the server's abilities. I mean, basically all it does is give you the IP addresses of the people you want to play with and also function as a basic messenger app.

The most popular maps, that's possible surely?

That would be possible. Just record what maps are selected when the game is started.
