= Spring Lobby =

For the Spring engine and a variety of games to play on it! Online battlerooms and singleplayer. Also, there is a lobby to chat in.

<div style="padding-left:7px">
{{Template:GamesDownload|name=SpringLobby|image=Springlobby_64.png|url=http://springlobby.info/}}
The easiest way to play: download SpringLobby, join the Spring server and enter an online battleroom.

{{Template:GamesDownload|name=Spring Web Lobby|image=Blobby.png|url=http://weblobby.springrts.com}}
A well featured lobby that can be used to play any game. (Windows & Linux)

</div>

== Individual game installers ==
A handful of Spring games also provide their own installers (and/or other infrastructure). These usually contain everything you need to play that game, but they might not allow you to play other games too.
<div id="installers" style="padding-left:7px">

{{Template:GamesDownload|name=Zero-K|image=eclipse.jpg|url=http://zero-k.info/Wiki/Download}}
(!) Zero-K uses a separate server that does not fully support other Spring games. (Windows & Linux (mono))

{{Template:GamesDownload|name=NOTA|image=notAgame02.jpg|url=http://nota.machys.net/downloads}}
(!) This lobby is limited to playing NOTA. (Windows & Linux & Mac OS X)

{{Template:GamesDownload|name=Spring 1944|image=S44_tigers.jpg|notAs44lobby|url=https://trello.com/c/XllGyMqI/}}
(!) This lobby is limited to playing Spring 1944, NOTA and Kernel Panic. (Windows & Linux)

{{Template:GamesDownload|name=Kernel Panic|image=Kernel_Panic_3.4.jpg|url=http://springfiles.com/spring/game-installers/kernel-panic-installer}} (!) Old engine version included. Experience of online play might be hampered.

</div>

For more Spring games, check out the [[Games]] page. Please note that some of them will require you to have the engine installed in order to work, as well as some maps, as they don't come with their own installer.

Display Lists save given vertex attributes in a static buffer, so the GPU can directly read them (without the CPU).

't' = top
'v' = vertical center
'x' = baseline
'b' = bottom
'd' = descender
decorations:
'o' = black outline

's' = shadow
other:
'n' = don't round vertex coords to nearest integer (font may get blurry)

__NOTOC__

'''EvolutionRTS emergency FAQ'''
----

'''Before you ask a question in chat, please see if it is already answered on this list.'''

==Playable at the moment?==
Looks like it!

http://www.vemags.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Status_LSA_gruen1.jpg

There seem to be at least 1, often 2 and more team games running all the time.

==Engine download stuck==

First of all, make sure that your automatic windows updates are enabled. If you disabled them, then most likely you don't have the KB2533623 update that is necessary. Either reenable windows update or install KB2533623 separately if you're a power user.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2533623

Close the lobby and start it again.

Look for common\EvolutionRTS\evo_data in your steam folder. If evo_data is not empty, copy everything in it into Documents\My games\Spring\

==Downloads fail (because windows user name has special characters)==
http://i.imgur.com/6qZTQOZ.png

If the lobby states it is downloading the engine but nothing happens:

Check if your windows account name contains any "funny" characters or umlauts like Ã¶Ã¼Ã¤Ã´Ã¡ etc.

As a workaround use a windows account name without such characters. This is will be fixed of course.

==Singleplayer?==
'''Solution:''' Create a multiplayer battleroom with the button at the bottom and make it private by giving it a password. The lobby will download the necessary files and once it's done, you can play. See below for adding bots.

Or go to the Singleplayer tab and create a custom battle (NOT launch game directly) with engine 96.0 and the latest version of Evolution RTS you can find in the list.

==Cannot start command: Downloading Engine 96.0: assign: The parameter is incorrect==

Are you on windows XP? Unfortunately the lobby does not work with Windows XP. You can use the Java Weblobby version by visiting http://www.weblobby.evolutionrts.info directly or you can try a different lobby: http://steamcommunity.com/app/291150/discussions/0/540738051772337468/

==Automatic download of game files does not work==
NOTE: the GAME file, not the engine.

Best idea is to wait a bit, the lobby should eventually download it.
If it really absolutely does not work:
1. Go to http://packages.springrts.com/builds/
2. download the .sdz with the latest evolutionRTS version. (Currently that is 7.37 but check vs what is played in lobby)
3. Put the .sdz file into: Documents/My Games/Spring/games
Do not unzip it, just move it there. When you're done, close and reopen the lobby.

As said, that is only for advanced users and should not be necessary.

==AI does not work!==
The evolutionRTS AI is the "Survial Spawner AI."
It spawns random enemies for you to shot at.

The NullAI bot can also be used: It does ''nothing'' which is nice to try out the game without enemies.

==Sandbox mode? I want to try the game without being rushed!==
Start a singleplayer game against the NullAI bot.

==Missions?==
Not there yet.

==It crashed!==
There is a logfile: [[Infolog.txt]]

The page also explains how to find and share it. You can post it in forum, on steam or in chat.

==Which maps should I play?==
Eye of Horus is a good map that works for team games, free-for-all, 1v1 and with bots.

==Why so many problems?==
Surprised by so many players.

==Hooray, I am ingame! How to play?==
http://www.wiki.evolutionrts.info/doku.php/evolution_rts:quick_start_guide

Or just try out things :)

==How to chat ingame?==
Press the RETURN key and type your message.

==Graphics problems! / the game runs very bad!==
Some problems can probally be solved by the general spring-engine FAQ: [[FAQ:trouble]]

==Cursor is painfully slow!==
Click Settings (the wrench) > Interface > Mouse Cursor > enable Hardware Cursor

==As a player, how can I help?==

1. '''If you have bugs to report''': It is okay to do so in the steam forum: http://steamcommunity.com/app/291150

(Or if you know how to use the google.code bugtracker: https://code.google.com/p/evolutionrts/issues/list )

'''Give as much ''info'' as possible:'''
*Operation system

*computer hardware (laptop or desktop, cpu, ram, graphics card,..)

*This logfile: [[Infolog.txt]]

*Lobby logfile: /Documents/My games/Spring/weblobby/'''weblobby.log''' , share via pastebin.com

*Screenshots can be uploaded to imgur.com or similiar

After a while check back on your post, devs might need more informations from you!

Reporting bugs in chat is pretty much useless, there get overlooked there or forgotten.

2. '''If you can play:''' help others players with their problems in chat.

3. Be patient :)

2014-04-16T15:09:46Z

Ikinz: Edit because I had it open in a tab and it looked too grim.

List of most urgent problems currently preventing players from playing evo.

=Current=

==engine detection==

For <s>unknown reasons</s> http://code.google.com/p/springweblobby/wiki/EvoSteamBugs '''often does not work.'''

"stops at 100%"

"nothing happens"

or errors like http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=64&p=556182#p556131

=Addressed/Fixed=

==Maps==

===Solved===

A limited maplist was introduced, unsynced players are auto-specced.

The maps from maplist were added in the steam distribution in the operation dubbed "Preload", as well as the engine and pool/packages with the game.
--

Too much random map changes. Too much downloading, too much unsync = no games start.

Some commonly chosen maps are unplayable (space maps etc)

Solve: '''Maplist''' on ALL hosts.

Best only put ONE map so that players do not have to download much and can just play.
Map could be:
http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-maps/eye-horus-v2

Progress:
unsynced players are specced and can not delay gamestart but does not seem to help so much

==Singleplayer==

===Solved===

Preload.
--

Does not work with fresh install because there are no files.

One must first join a MP to download engine,map,mod.

Solve: '''Download files on login''' or something.

==empty room, use !lock==

===Soved===

Springie seems to work correctly now.
--

The common solution to select an empty autohost and then lock the room does not work:

Players need to be manually to use !lock command. The empty hosts are impossible to find because players randomly join&leave all the time. Even if you join an empty host, hardly does one have enough time to type !lock before another player joins.

==Bots, AIs==

===Solved===

Bot filter specific to evo was created.
--

Needs '''filter''' for add-bot menu. Only evo-compatible bots must be listed.
AAI is too often choosen because top of list but it does not work.

Solve:
If nessecarly hard-coded hack in lobby might be needed?
(real solution like implenting validAI.lua probally no time)

CarRepairer: Actually the REAL real solution is to remove AIs from the engine, which should have been done years ago like widgets. That would solve it for future versions only so a validAI list would be needed now of course.

The evo-AIs reportedly "do nothing." 
Under investigation at: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=556029#p556029 
Possible quick fix: play on metal maps (Trololo, Trench_Linked).
