Re: OPENRA - Learning Mini-Yaml questions

You really don't need to learn about the OpenRA mini yaml parsing logic for the things you seem to be interested in. OpenRA is a matured software project which means that such fundamental question have been solved in some way years ago and most likely are not related to any issues you experience whi...

Re: Sporadic red lobby ping for the past month

The code indicates a red ping means that you have had over the last 25 seconds an average connection latency of over 600ms. Here are some code bits and what I think they do(might be wrong and incomplete) server send ping: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/23b3c237b7071fd308c4664b0b6c5d719c0f3c74...

The graphs must be really interesting if you can associate the colors :? Thanks for the explanation! :)

Re: Less micro more strategy

These are some interesting thoughts, so here are mine (excuse the wall of text, there's a tldr at the botton): - Real-time-strategy games deeply rely on the concept that the player who does any action, be it ordering units or building things, can get an advantage over the player who is slower. IMO t...

Re: Loading a saved game takes 10 minutes

    Just a thought: if you enable framelimiter and set to to a really low value like 2 fps and then watch the replay, replay will play super fast. Maybe this works for loading savegames too? :lol:

    Hi, OpenRA's server have been offline temporarily yesterday evening. Try again today and let us know if you still have problems. Note that the generated key is automatically copied to your clipboard, so you only need to paste it into the text box without copying manually.

    Re: Just wanted to say you did it

    Let's keep it civil. At the end we all want to make the game better, so lets fight with arguments for our visions rather than with insults because this is just not productive.

    Re: Just wanted to say you did it

    In any case, playtesting doesn't have much in common with just "start a playtest version and wait on a server for a game". One also needs to understand how the game works, research what works and what might be improved, present all that in a constructive manner and get in contact with people who do...

    Re: Just wanted to say you did it

    All it takes is for one person in a lobby to suggest "Ok, after this game lets all move to the playtest and give it a go". It takes the other people do also join the playtest servers. Unless you know each other or are somehow organized this often does not work. This is a difference to the 1v1 playe...

    Re: Just wanted to say you did it

    It's too early to judge the effects of the balances changes on team games. I think it's not fair to blame individual players from the teamgame playerbase for not testing the changes because there simply are not enough people participating in playtests - there is not really an opportunity for them. A...

    Re: [Mod] OpenSC

    This project DO NOT use any assets from original Starcraft (1998) I'd say you still meddle with their intellectual property when recreating the assets / reverse-engineer the game mechanics etc. It is obviously the intention to "look like StarCraft" and "play like StarCraft". So you are still copyin...
