Spring RTS Engine

Eureka! Eureka! here we have it TA: Kingdoms Spring.
all units rendered and expansion ones but, its not finnished; we need some people to help script some units, they dont work that much and fix some of the textures. does anyone one to bring back TA:K and make it better?

link is http://www.fileuniverse.com/spring/mods/kingdoms.rar

(all acknowledgements go to http://www.kingdoms-rx.com who are now defunct in this project. however i am trying to finnish it under general public liscence, NO COPYRIGHT BREACHING!!!)

-have a nice day,
shadow

Yay! More copyright violating mods :D

What would be Spring without that little "One last Game before the Lawyerletter arives Tension?"... Still great to have Kingdoms here..

Please keep it in English. If it is in Finnish then most people wouldn't understand it.

Just kidding.

('ere we go) Troubleshooting Tips:

1. to fix a building error with monarch/ normal builder, just click again on the construction site. that should speed things up.

2. to fix a factory error, you need to click the unit and place it adjendent to the factory (not in it!!!) and then use your monarch/builder to speed up the construction

3. This beta has a big problem with height map stuff on most maps. its best to build on flat land or use maps such as "2 continents remake" etc.

4. Ships have got a scripting error. they can be built on land!!!!. plus, they can only move on land, in water doesn't work!!!

5. There is another scripting error within the mele unitsm the game crashes when trying to attck ground (i dont know about mele attacks against other units, i havent tried).

6. Some ranged towers dont work.

Aside from that,

Have fun

(if you can do it correctly..... errr...)

This needs a huge amount of work. It is nowhere near playable.

Thats why im askin for people to help finnish it

How are you planing on handling spells?

Those units that have mana which recharges and then throw spells (like blizzards or that explosion that captures every unit inside).

Another bug: arrows and bolts fly backwards. Just flip the model and it'll be ok.

You really need someone who knows about scripting to fix all the problems in that area. Also is there some 'simple' solution to all the purple transparency stuff that shows up? And theres always the quesiton of how melee combat will work. IMO the units actually look cool; it is interesting to see some organic-style units in spring (besides soldiers).

And theres always the quesiton of how melee combat will work

All that needs to be done is to make the units perform shooting animation next to unit and make there be no bullets (invisible)

Someone make a sticky post about why melee combat does not work out yet as major part of a mod.

edit: The pink stuff comes from certain textures... TA:K used magenta for transparencies apparently.

Honestly, I'd install kingdoms if I wanted to play it...

Yes but how do you prevent that unit from running away when it's in range?

Change the ai script

IOW, you're going to make us a patch?

I can try but im not that good at scripts, i only found this project in an abandoned place thats why i am hosting this forum to find people that could help and carry on the project

anyway i need either of theese 2:

people

or

an understandable tutorial on how to do a full unit script

btw, what colour is the transparent one on ta spring?

Transparent is zero alpha in the second texture.

The running away is an engine issue, not a part of the unit scripts. Are you good with C++?

What do you mean with that "running away" thing?
