rifqifajarzain 3 years ago I finally got a 3d modeling knowledge and installed Spring and the lobby but I still don't know how to make a Spring game yet. I want to learn by using Zero-K sources but I still don't know how to start. Should I start with the Chobby lobby thing or purely from Spring source itself or anything? I don't know, man, maybe you can give me the first thing to do to make a Spring RTS game. Bonus question: Does anyone know where can I get free-to-use texture resource sites? I believe all the unit models in this game are low-poly. +1 / -0
GoogleFrog 3 years ago If I were you I would do all the development through Chobby. I have been using Chobby for game development for about as long as this has been possible. Prior to that I think I was launching spring.exe directly and picking the game and map from here. With a bit of tweaked you can make Chobby default to your game, similar to how the Zero-K Dev singleplayer preset works. This is how to get started running a game: https://zero-k.info/mediawiki/index.php?title=Mod_Creation#More_Significant_Changes Just use your game rather than a mutator. Here is how to get the ZK code and poke around: https://zero-k.info/mediawiki/index.php?title=Zero-K:Developing#Getting_sources The mod upload and game mode system that runs mods at the moment can run full games. There is little technical difference between a mutator and a standalone game. +0 / -0
malric 3 years ago Not sure you are aware, you can have also a look at the information found at: https://springrts.com/wiki/Main_Page . That is lower level, but you could find interesting bits and pieces of information. +0 / -0
rifqifajarzain 3 years ago I need some foundation knowledge of LUA scripting first, am I right? +0 / -0
