Spring Engine’s single player experience has been newly jumpstarted by the release of a new tool, Mission Editor, and updates to SpringDownloader and TASClient, which have opened up a colossal number of possibilities for players and developers alike.

The hub of the newly released content creation and delivery system is Mission Editor, the newest production of the Complete Annihilation Team. The mission editor enables anyone to quickly create and share missions. No coding knowledge is required, so skilled developers and enthusiastic players alike can easily create missions for their favorite games. The mission editor can create and give orders to units, manipulate the camera, show messages, pictures, and sounds, enable and disable units, and more, along with other capabilities that we are assured are on the way.

Once a mission is complete, its maker can automatically upload it to a server, where it can then be instantly seen, selected, downloaded, and played either through the new “missions” tab in the ubiquitous SpringDownloader application or through a less intuitive web interface. Support for these missions has also been added to TASClient, and even now, players are enjoying thrilling co-operative missions.

Download Mission Editor here.

Missions are available either from SpringDownloader, which may be found here or from this website.

Look here for instructions concerning missions downloaded through the website

*Note* As of yet all games for spring are not supported, however, Quantum is working with the Mod Makers to help it become a reality. At the current time of this posting only CA and S44 are known to work perfectly with the mission builder, however Evolution RTS is working towards becoming compatible and I believe so are the other games.
