Springlobby: Springlobby is the spring-rts engine front end. It's being used to initiate both single and multi-play games. It can also be used to download maps and modifications. In-order to use it, first select "Server -> Connect" and create a user/password login. Once the login is successful, you will be able to use the "Battlelist" tab to see on-line games and join them. Important note: The springlobby is also used to configure the spring engine (display, 3D quality, sound, etc). Select Edit -> Spring settings to configure the engine. Side note: I've just release a new version of the game lobby (the program that's being used to download maps and mods and connect you to single and multi-player games). This version fixes a number of bugs (including broken map download). Download it from here. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/springlobby-0.118-1.fc14 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/springlobby-0.118-1.fc13 Modifications: The spring-rts itself is not a game, it's an empty game engine, in-order to start playing to you need to download games, or modification. There are two ways to download modifications: 1. On-line, using the springlobby. 2. Off-line, using rapid (preferable method). 3. Off-line, using springfiles.com. http://springfiles.com/ In-order to download modification on-line, login, and them switch to the "Battlelist" tab. In the games list, you'll see a list of server, each with the current modification and map being used. If the modification / map doesn't exist in your installation, an "x" will appear to the left of its name. Right click -> Download mod/map will download the modification or map. Due to the constant development state of most spring-rts modifications the easiest way to install mods, is using rapid-springs. Please follow these instruction: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rapid-spring Once you've download it, you can select which modification you by looking at this page: http://springrts.com/wiki/Games (With my favorite being Supreme Annihilation, which is based around Balance Annihilation) http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=17380 In my case, I'm using rapid to install the following mods: $ rapid list-pinned-tags Using data directory: /home/gilboa/.spring Pinned tags: ba:latest (Balanced Annihilation V7.19) ca:test (Complete Annihilation test-8610) sa:latest (Supreme Annihilation U75 V1.0) Maps: There are two ways to download maps: 1. On-line, using the springlobby. 2. Off-line, using springfiles.com. http://springfiles.com/ Starting a game: Once you are done download maps and games, you start playing, either on-line (by select a game in the BattleList tab) or off-line (By selecting the Singleplayer tab, selecting a map from the map list-box, selecting a mod from the mod list-box and adding and placing a number of computer AI opponents using the "Add bot" button).
