Why the current gundam will not run in the current build of spring.

News RSS feed - Gundam RTS Game - Mod DB — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:36:15 +0000

Currently gundam is not going to show up in the spring engine. I am going to detail why so you guy can understand what is going on and what is being done.

Not a crisis so don’t panic, read the news article.

Spring 0.82.3 hot fix release

Tobi — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:03:41 +0000

Whoops, 0.82.2 contained a major packaging bug.

By accident different base content had been released in the Windows installer and in the Linux packages, causing much confusion and so called "lobby desyncs".

Therefore we release this hot fix release, that should correct the issue.

Download links:

Detailed changes since the 0.82.2:

Engine / General:

rebuild because of stale base content packages
fix NullAI installing into / (on Linux)

Spring 0.82.2 released!

Tobi — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:48:50 +0000

Some more issues have been fixed since the second release candidate, so hereby we present the next build, which also happens to be the real release: Spring 0.82.2

Again, thanks everyone for their contributions!

Download links:

For the last time we’d also like to remember game developers to test their games against this build of Spring, and in particular think about the following breaking changes:

Removal of start unit spawning (replacement gadgets in the linked thread)
Dropping support for modinfo.tdf (modinfo.lua is the alternative)
Removal of AllowUnsafeChanges (everything will be allowed by default now)

To players: due to these changes it may happen that old games are not listed anymore in your lobby client, or that no start units are spawned. In both cases, this is not your fault nor a bug in Spring, but the result of the game not being up to date with these breaking changes in Spring.

In such cases, please download an up to date copy of your favorite Spring game or prod the author to release an update.

Additionally I’d like to highlight that this release will allow mid-game join and rejoin (by replaying the game up to the point where the real game is).

Detailed changes since the second 0.82 release candidate:

Engine / General:

miscellaneous OS X compile/link fixes
fixed incorrect handling of negative references in OBJParser
fixed misinterpretation of the OBJ spec
reorganized WindowState saving on exit on X
fixed source package build
always print crash errors to infolog
added i965_dri.so to OGL driver crash detection on Linux

Engine / Simulation:

fixed autosharing resources to dead teams
fixed units disappearing from quadfield after load-unload in transport

Engine / Lua:

fixed invalid FPU flags after LuaLobby connection is made
fixed DrawFeature event
Spring.UnitScript.GetScriptEnv returns nil if the unit does not run a Lua script
Spring.GetCOBScriptID returns nil if the unit does not run a COB script
fixed typo in mapdefaults.lua
possibly fixed GetPlayerInfo

Engine / AI:

updated E323AI to latest version

Autohost Available

News RSS feed - Conflict Terra Game - Mod DB — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:07:51 +0000

Just a heads up that we have two autohosts set up for Conflict Terra in the Spring Lobby.

What’s Next for Conflict Terra?

News RSS feed - Conflict Terra Game - Mod DB — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 03:04:57 +0000

Now that we’ve released version 1.00 to the public, what’s next for Conflict Terra? Further balance, addition of gameplay features, polishing of the game, and stylized maps are on the horizon.

Release candidate: Spring 0.82.1

Tobi — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:09:10 +0000

A lot of issues have been fixed already since the first release candidate, so hereby we present the next release candidate: Spring 0.82.1
