Spring RTS Engine

Not made with any particular purpose in mind. I was playing around with some stuff in l3dt today and after I'd rendered it I figured I might as well make a finished map out of it.

Oh no, this doesn't look like any of your other maps at all

Hehe, none whatsoever!

Meh, I was jsut playing around, the result was nice enough, so I figured "Why not?"

I am kind of curious as to how it plays, course I'm too preoccupied to find out, but meh, I'll look at it some day

If you shrunk it down and made a few small adjustments, I think it would make a nice 1v1 map.

Hehehe, ive been working on a very very similar 1v1 concept for a while now :)

I actually played that a few weeks ago. Was pretty fun. Never discount the value of a good 2v2.

Can you give a total energy tally on those forests?

That is a really bizarre request...

It was a troll (or at least I thing it was a lame attempt). He doesn't like the trees.

Well, basically get over it and tell TFC and CA to give units a 20 crushstrength so that the trees get knocked over. Everyone else does (except for smoth for some really strange reason).

Or even better yet, just put avoidfeature0 in all of the weapons (Which also happens to make a lot of sense).

Edit: I did playtest it btw, it actually plays really really well, I was pretty pleased with it.

Erm... It appears to me to be very similar, if not identical to that EE map... cant remember the name...


Edit: Wait, nm that map had a bigger bridge in the center, I forgots.

Riverglade (Which I also made btw).

SOme of the bigger differences would be the height ranges here. They are about 3 times larger than riverglade. The crosses are more visual fluff than anything. Evo uses all hovers, so yar.

name drop and expect a response.....

because it is fucking stupid. IRL it isn't that simple to run over a tree.

I wasn't expecting a response...

IRL trees aren't that small either.

in-game Robots and Tanks are fucking huge, make them run over trees! sigh...

It would be interesting to give units variable crush strength, so they have to "work" at crushing a tree. Damage over time or whatever.

Now that would be cool.

It sounds cool, but in reality, it would jsut be annoying.

Nah, not if the unit and tree had a syncing animation, showing the unit/vehicle plodding forward into the tree and it bending over more and more and then snapping.

Yeah, but what abotu when you have 20 units and 20 trees, and really really need to get those 20 units to back up your base?

How did they get to the trees from your base? Probably by plowing through the trees to begin with, leaving a path.

It all depends on what you're doing. If you want more realistic behaviour, like we would in S44, this would be a good option to have. If that isn't of interest, the current system works fine.
