Spring RTS Engine

Does this version work with Ta mods and stuff already?

Poorly. Some optimizations and modifications are necessary.

Is it just xta or is it severly funky in spring only?

Has anyone managed to get TA:AA running on spring yet? (e.g. you caydr) - thats easily the best mod around along with TA:FF

IF you run spring.exe you can choose to start with Starwars script i wonder what thats all about

File system work mostly as TA so it shouldnt be that hard to get a mod working. Biggest difference is that you need to extract unit textures into bmps from the gafs. (Check inside taenheter.ccx to see how to place them)

Swta script is a bit like test script but with swta units (assumes that you have installed swta correctly into the spring folder of course)

What directory do you put the units in just the root ?

I put my totala1 and totala2 hpi files in the Spring directory. Spring ran, but apparently didn't use them--none of my modifications were there.

The taenheter.ccx, being a .ccx file, overrides normal .hpi files. Thus, most of everything was being used from XTA.

If someone could modify TA:M to work with Spring that would easily give us access to dozens of the most popular mods.

No it wouldn't. Trust me.

UTASP Doesnt work.

what the sy's say is true
just extract the bmp files and re-rez it

I am testing this now.

well, textures are all extracted. All in the unittextures folder like y'all have it. Now, it was also complaining about a missing zaku.cob. So I rewrote the zeon zaku commander to use the zaku.cob.

now spring loads then freezes when I try to start. Fun enough, there is no error report it is a true freeze.

Actually, they all have to be in the unittextures\tatex folder, AND - one more thing - they have to be appropriately named. (I think this was covered somewhere already, I'll just post this for those that don't know)

That is:
Every non-animating texture must have a '00' added to the end of the name.
Every frame of an animating texture (or a set of logo textures) must be named like TextureNameXX, where XX is the frame number beginning with 00 The GAF builder exports them as TextureName_XX, with XX beginning with 01 - this is incorrect and will not be read by the engine.

Use Gaf Dump, does it for you.

Links are always nice. http://www.planetannihilation.com/bsr/tools.html .

Would be nice if Spring was just coded to read gafs.

That's a 404, Neuralize...

What program that I apparently don't have are you guys using on that .ccx file? Is it Corel Somethingorother?

.ccx is core contegince xpansion i think

dont you use the same prog that you open the hpi (normal Ta files with)
