Spring RTS Engine

For those of you who don't read the General thread, it has finally happened - Atari noticed. They've C&D'd unknown-files. Cup's correspondence with them has revealed that the files in particular that offended them were

a) the Spring installer (which means that Spring must finish the process of shucking TA)

and

b) Absolute Annihilation.

Which means that all TA-based mods are in trouble.

For the sake of your hosts, you should probably get your mods off of them before they force you (Sourceforge will probably be very angry at Caydr).

For TA-based mods, we'll probably need a Wargus/Freecraft-like solution where the game uses any OTA content a mod may require by reading the data DIRECTLY from the OTA CD. Which will require some changes to the Spring engine itself.

But either way - time to start learning to play E&E, Nanoblobs et al.

I sure hope you're being sarcastic or I might just have to give up whats left of my faith in humanity.

He started writing the thread before Cup posted that other thread.

Although having AA on sourceforge is pretty weird.

I admire your optimism, but I wouldn't be so sure.

Pxtl you fool

i suck. kill thread plz.

its okay pxtl your just a zealous defender of spring

Hey I told you to do it on April fools! You silly monkey

Joke or not more needs to be done to break away from TA.

How about Ta free hours, days, weeks ? In slow rising level.. enforced through the Lobbys.. And always a Timer, when TA Content will be allowed again..

I'd bet my right foot that will never be implemented Picasso As for moving away from TA content I think spring has done a good job at that. Espescially with the new GPL installer. Our next hurdle is to get people to think/refer of some of the mods as games (for E&E/nanoblobs/etc: of course things like AA variants will always fit into the 'mods' classification).

No, that is ridiculous. Some of us own MULTIPLE COPIES OF OTA and want to play TA based mods such as BA.

i'm just going to raise my hand here hmrph and remind you gundam is ta free. People seem to forget the fact that I did do all the work in my mod(outside of the cursors that erom gave me).

Sorry smoth: as soon as I saw your name on this thread I thought "I should have put Gundam instead of etc." Although there are some other mods I didn't list either.

Locked, see this thaed!
