Discuss game development here, from a distinct game project to an accessible third-party mutator, down to the interaction and design of individual units if you like.
What:
I think a good idea is to make some simple mod with concept of one old knownless game (so Unreal in front of Doom or Quake), but very interest gameplay.
first person view - available
third person view - available
several weapons - maybe
walk inside structure - available
backward walk - ??????
... - PROFIT!!!
Here another idea. May be interest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dithNpKvvlQ.
And again i meet FPS in RTS. Its not bad practice. Also known FPS with RTS game is a Savage Legend of Newerth.
Legend of Newerth (and also Allegiance, which is older, the same idea, and in space (i prefer it for it's awesome)) has the advantage of being SPecifically designed to support both.
Spring was made for RTS and not so much for FPS, you will have a hard time building a functional FPS in the spring engine. You could try, but most people who know a great deal about the spring engine will passively if not actively oppose the idea.
FPS mode might as well be removed from Spring. The only reason anybody ever uses it is either for the lulz or to get units removed from places they're stuck in which they can't be freed from normally.
welcome to the spring comunity. You decided or have been decided to post your brilliant idea, which while maybe really excellent, my soon lead to a seemingly undeserved explosion of hostilitys. The reason for that beeing that unlike you, many newcomers, are unwilling to lift a finger to see there work acomplished, which leads to understandabel resentment of this virtual village against outsiders who dont comit themselves to the engine or one of the games, you can get for free.
Free?
Free!
Really for free, free of fee, free of advertising, free of censorship, free of moding limitations. From here on, you have four ways to chose.
1. The easy way Mapping:

3. Be our guest...enjoy the games, share whatever think worthy of sharing, and we will do the same. Keep away from idea threads.
4. The Door.
You can use it on your own feet, or get carried away by moderation or the trollz. Your choice, definatly the last one you make on this board. Have a nice day.
