Spring RTS Engine

Been working on this one for a little while now. No pics yet.
Heres the idea so far, its called "smurf it to you". Its a war between the smurfs and the strawberry shortcake gang.
The following units are planned to be made.

Smurf side.

papa smurf-of course he is the commander

Jokey smurf-Has the ability to launch his joke boxes that explode on contact.

hefty smurf-Since he is so strong he can take a lot of damage,

grouchy smurf-basically he just moves around until the enemy annoys him enough (by shooting him) that he explodes.

greedy smurf-Has the ability to extract metal and energy from wrecks but since he is so greedy he does it really really fast.

Smurfette-She has a rocket launcher. Since she is so hot she can charm enemy units so they go over to your side (hubba hubba, thats hot)

Gargamel-He will be 100 times bigger than the smurfs. But this time he fights on the side of smurf. He will be slow walking and pick enemy units up and eat them. He also has the limited ability to turn enemy units into gold with his magic.


Strawberry shortcake side--

strawberry shortcake-She will be the commander.

blueberry muffin-Shes makes the most delicious muffins in strawberry land (aka bombs)

ginger snap-She will be able to mount honey pie pony for a horse attack on the enemy.

crepes suzette-oui oui, she makes crepes (aka bombs)

frosty puff-She has the ability to warm your heart with her smile (aka bombs)

Lemon Meringue-She├óÔé¼Ôäós a lighthearted, sweeter-than-lemonade girl with a zesty attitude and a heart of platinum and she can throw bombs (aka lemon pies)

Purple pie man- he will be to the forces of strawberry shortcake what gargamel was to the smurfs. (hes the same eight as gargamel but he doesnt eat smurfs because he has all the pie he can eat. instead he drops pies on the smrufs heads, aka bombs)

here are some pics so far.

I'm all for it.

I'm more concerned how he will animate it without IK

I'm all for it.

about time someone made a mod with models that actualy taxed the newer systems instead of old cavedog shit

Strange how those images are from a site which hosts pages for different engines.

I actually lol'd.

I'm tempted by this line that this is a blatant lie - The screen doesn't look like spring either....

wow.. try looking at the other mods cup. Seriously... wow.


Now, the reason peetah brings up the poly count is that this is not a FPS.. even c&C3 uses relatively low poly models. In fact part of being a modeler is that using high poly is a huge resposibility. Yeah, machines can handle more but this is a game with unit limits into the 1000s, many mods, mine included can easily use all of that.

Also, to those who do not know better, no those shots are not in spring but that should be obvious.

Spring needs the models to be broken into objects they cannot be a solid mesh and be animated.

smurfs should fight the snorks to be honest...

yep that would have to be the essancial war Surfs against snorks of this mod :D It is more win since this is so far from what was made by cavedog down with this

So spring doesn't use IK, hmmm p337 was right, brb.

im going to play this instead of anything else from now on

Even stranger how all three images are from three different sites. One (middle) is from a 3d modelling tutorial, even.

Jolt obviously knows the way of the lulz.
