Spring RTS Engine

Hello everyone!

I have just come from UDK and Unity3D, I've been thinking about how I start spring editor.

I only have:
rapid-gui
spring lobby
k-lobby
test spring

I've been looking around in them this programs but can not find how I start editron to create my own games?

apologies if this is the wrong forum and a silly question

Sincerely Patrik

There is no single SDK for Spring. You can try to read up the tutorial to figure out waht goes where, or just consult the rest of documentation.

A Text Editor(like Notepad++), A 3D Modeling program (like Wings/Blender etc.) and an Image Editor (like Gimp).

You'll also need an archive management tool (like 7zip) to poke around in existing content packages.

okey my mistake thx SinbadEV and Anarchid for the advises will take a look on it :)

sincerely: Patrik

- Spring Loggy and ZK-Lobby are lobbies, that is, applications to find player and launch multiplayer games.
- rapid-gui is a way to distribute Spring related files such as game and maps. A bit like a torrent client or an updater.
- Test Spring is just a shortcut to run the bare spring engine directly.
So none of what you listed is an editor.


There isn't one single unified Spring editor. Modding Spring is essentially done with application that weren't made for Spring in the first place, and a few extra tools.

You need:
- A text editor, such as Notepad++
- A 3D modeller, such as Wings3D or Blender
- An image editor, such as Gimp or Photoshop

There are a few Spring specific application, though:
- mapconv, which is used to compile a serie of images into a Spring Map.
- UpSpring, which was used to convert a 3D model into Spring format (but this step isn't necessary any more).

Then some people also have developped ingame tools, to help create map, unit animation, or other tasks.

I suggest you look around in the Spring Wiki and many Spring subforums for links and tutorials. Yes, some information will be messy, outdated, or contradictory, but overall, there should be enough forum threads and wiki pages to cover everything, several times.

If you want help, try to be define more precisely what domain you're interested in.
For exemple:
- How to create a map?
- How to make a 3D model for a unit?
- How to change the stat of a unit?
Instead of a broad "how to edit Spring".

As suggested here notepad++ will definitely help you. Its an intelligent editor and will give you some wonderful suggestions. I also started my work from notepad++. I will highly recommend it.
