Re: Shifting RTS paradigms -- brainstorming thread

My advice is to look at the springrts.com and play some games of balanced annihilation. There are a multitude of elements that the springrts engine does well and most other rts don't do. IMHO the place to start for RTS features that are minimum requirements. I can't stand Starcraft2 because I am use...

Re: Archiving/Packaging Resources (Resource Management)

Found an implementation that covers what I am talking about perfectly: http://www.kekkai.org/roger/sdl/rwops/rwops.html /* zzip_open does some magic here - if there is a directory called "penguin" and there is a "penguin.bmp" there, zzip_read (which we'll use later) will act just...

Re: Frogatto and Scripted Cutscenes

What I notice for most games is that scripted events occur at the most predictable opportunities. I don't ever recall Unreal being spooky. But I am vividly reminded of a scene from Doom3 where everything goes into red cut scene where creepy stuff happens - then when everything seems calm the ceiling...

Re: Archiving/Packaging Resources (Resource Management)

1. Who does decreasing copy and move time actually benefit? Why do we need to do this? Players shouldn't notice a change in load time (if there even is one). Reasons for the change are explained in OP, other benefits like decreased install time were omitted - valid for those of us who like to keep ...

Archiving/Packaging Resources (Resource Management)

What it is: Moving resource files to archived files rather than individual files in sub directories. This would include all UMC, all UMC could be its own archived file (like quake 3 and their .pk3 files). Why it is necessary: Currently a number of issues arise due to quantity of files. Long copy, m...

Re: 2p MP campaign Gobowars

Well Gov, I'm puzzled. Both your saves worked fine for me. Here is my version of your map 3 save if you want to continue. As a side note, Map 6 (the final map) is more than half done, and should be uploaded soon. Thx jb. Not sure what is going on, maybe it an issue with Vista? Your save works fine ...

Re: 2p MP campaign Gobowars

Here you are, these were made using the 1.8 old_lobby executable. Also, I used the local option form the mp list to host the game, and I leveled the sergeant to get the last kill.

Just tried this gem. Unfortunately on scenario 3 none of my recalls showed up - save for the merry band of rejects from the first scenario. This a bug?

So I am doing some research into getting a gui into an SDL application. I have basically built a SDL framework to implement my own gui, but lost interest after getting buttons to work. Difficulties eventually arise from actually rendering text properly and the massive amount of work that goes into l...
