===2005-12-13 The Lost Legacy v1.04 Released===
The Lost Legacy Race, originally by M3G, ported to Spring by NOiZE.

This is the TA:Spring version of the masterpiece race created by the TA creation veterans M3G and Nik. Striving for perfection, they have completed an astoundishing number of 150 new units. This is by far the most expanded and carefully balanced race that has been created to this point. Explore the strategic values of the new submarine pens, defensive constructions and the many supersized monsters that let you toy with the opponent.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-13 The Lost Legacy v1.04 Released===
The Lost Legacy Race, originally by M3G, ported to Spring by NOiZE.

This is the TA:Spring version of the masterpiece race created by the TA creation veterans M3G and Nik. Striving for perfection, they have completed an astoundishing number of 150 new units. This is by far the most expanded and carefully balanced race that has been created to this point. Explore the strategic values of the new submarine pens, defensive constructions and the many supersized monsters that let you toy with the opponent.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

Mugslugs: /* Modifying and Compiling the Source */

Outlined below is information on assisting with the development of the Spring source itself.

::NOTE: For information about developing a mod (units, maps, etc.) see the [[Mod Development]] page.

Below you can find information on how to work with the Spring source in the current mainline (Windows platform) if you like to work on another platform (Linux & Mac) please look at the bottem of this page under "Multiplatform development"

==Starting Development==
To start development, you will need
#The latest version of the source
#A good code manipulation program
#Compiling your modified source

===Source Code Documentation===
A good place to start is the source code documentation, which can be found here: [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/doxygen/ doxygen]

An explanation on how the code is executed in game can be found in the [[Spring Engine Code]]
page.

===Obtaining the Source===

If you just want to look at the code, you can use [http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/taspring-linux/trunk/ HTTP based viewing of the repository]

Another option is to manually download it along with the latest released version of the game. However, for serious developers, a better way would be to download the source straight from the subversion (SVN) repository. This will also allow you to make a patch out of the changes you make to the code, and send it to one of the developers with SVN access.

More information about downloading from the svn repository is available at the
[http://developer.berlios.de/projects/taspring-linux BerliOS Project page]
Two good windows SVN clients are SmartSVN and TortoiseSVN.

===Learning C++===
You will need to know C++ to modify or understand Spring's source code. If you are interested in learning C++, see [[Learning_CPP]]

However please note that badly designed code (code created by a C++ novice for example), will even if working not be included in the spring code. Spring is a large project, and therefore it is necessary to stay away from hack jobs and create general solutions to problems.

===Modifying and Compiling the Source===
See [[Development_IDEs]]. You have either to use the SCons build system that is multi platform, or use the vcproj for building spring in Visual Studio 2003.
Currently the build is actively updated for Linux and for Visual Studio 2003
You will needs these libraries:

*[http://www.boost.org Boost C++ library]
*[http://www.openal.org OpenAL Audio library]
*[http://glew.sf.net GLEW (OpenGL extension loading)]
*[http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/ zlib + minizip]
*[http://www.libsdl.org SDL]
*[http://openil.sf.net DevIL (Image loading)]
*[http://www.freetype.org Freetype font rendering]

*[http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ DirectX SDK] (Windows, Visual Studio C++ only)
*PlatformSDK (Windows, Visual Studio C++ Only)

If you are using Windows, you can find most of the dependences pre-built at [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=49257#49257 here].
A pre-built copy of boost for VS8 can be found [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=56846#56846 here].

*[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons-0.96.1.win32.exe Scons installer]

Grab and install the above programs.

'''Set-Up'''

Make sure C:\Python2.4 and C:\Dev-Cpp\bin are in your PATH environment variable. Make sure a MINGDIR environment variable with value C:\Dev-Cpp exists. (Change paths where appropriate.) Set environment variables by: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment variables (for Windows XP), Checkout the TA Spring SVN repository. You will also need the [http://spring.clan-sy.com/dl/spring-mingwlibs.exe Mingw / DevCPP libs] extract to /taspring.

'''Compiling'''

Open a console (Start -> Run -> cmd.exe -> Run), cd /where you checked it out in the previous step, if you use checked it out on a different drive make sure to change drives with DriveLetter:<enter> first then type scons configure<enter>, followed by scons<enter>. Refer to scons --help for options that can be passed to scons configure. Wait, this will take a while. Copy over data files and stuff from official spring to the game dir (where spring.exe is created). Copy missing DLLs from mingwlibs/dll, Start developing.

If you are using Linux, refer to the [[SetupGuide]] to build Spring and get it running.

==Development Suggestions==

Before starting to make modifications to the source, take a look at the [[development guidelines]] which outlines some important things to think about. To find something interesting to work on, look at the list of [[example projects]]. You can also check the list of [[whois doing what]] to see what others are doing. If you do edit the code, please add [[Doxygen style comments]] to the code, which will then enhance the source code documentation.

===How to get your code included===
If you create something that you think should be included in the official source tree, you can send an email to the development mailing list shown at [[Linux]] page. Sending your code in the form of a patch (also known as a .diff file), will make the chances of including it in the main code.
It's also considered standard practice to post one's modifications in the [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=12 development forum] and get feedback.

==Multiplatform development==
Current development is done on the portable code only, located at [http://developer.berlios.de/projects/taspring-linux Berlios]
All current and future releases will be based on this code.
The current spring code is being developed on Windows and linux. A mac port is being worked on, as well as other unixes.
Use the mailing list listed on the [[Linux]] page to reach all developers (windows and linux). However if you have a feature request or bug report, the mantis bugtracker is probably a better way.
Development information about the portable code can be found here: [[MultiplatformSpring]]

==Spring Engine TODO list==
There is a TODO list for developers who want to contribute to the engine itself:
[[SpringEngineTODO]]

If you create something that you think should be included in the official source tree, you can send an email to the development mailing list shown at [[Linux]] page. Sending your code in the form of a patch (also known as a .diff file), will make the chances of including it in the main code.
It's also considered standard practice to post one's modifications in the [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=12 development forum] and get feedback.

==Multiplatform development==
Current development is done on the portable code only, located at [http://developer.berlios.de/projects/taspring-linux Berlios]
All current and future releases will be based on this code.
The current spring code is being developed on Windows and linux. A mac port is being worked on, as well as other unixes.
Use the mailing list listed on the [[Linux]] page to reach all developers (windows and linux). However if you have a feature request or bug report, the mantis bugtracker is probably a better way.
Development information about the portable code can be found here: [[MultiplatformSpring]]

==Spring Engine TODO list==
There is a TODO list for developers who want to contribute to the engine itself:
[[SpringEngineTODO]]

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

This is by far the most expanded and carefully balanced race that has been created to this point.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-13 The Lost Legacy v1.04 Released===
The Lost Legacy Race, originally by M3G, ported to Spring by NOiZE.

This is the TA:Spring version of the masterpiece race created by the TA creation veterans M3G and Nik. Striving for perfection, they have completed an astoundishing number of 150 new units. This is by far the most expanded and carefully balanced race that has been created to this point. Explore the strategic values of the new submarine pens, defensive constructions and the many supersized monsters that let you toy with the opponent.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

This is by far the most expanded and carefully balanced race that has been created to this point.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

This is by far the most expanded and carefully balanced race that has been created to this point. Explore the strategic values of the new submarine pens, defensive constructions and the many supersized monsters that let you toy with the opponent.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

The Lost Legacy Race, originally by M3G, ported to Spring by NOiZE.

This is the TA:Spring version of the masterpiece race created by the TA creation veterans M3G and Nik. Striving for perfection, they have completed an astoundishing number of 150 new units. This is by far the most expanded and carefully balanced race that has been created to this point.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

===2005-12-07 Star Wars: Spring 1.0 Released===
The well known Star Wars TC for TA has been ported to Spring.

One of the most complete TCs that existed for TA has now been fully ported to Spring - all of the bugs that plagued the quick and dirty earlier port have been fixed. Some balancing issues that came up in Spring has also been taken care of, along with a few other minor modifications, to ensure that this modification is made specifically for the Spring engine, so that you can enjoy it as such. Furthermore, many of the uglier low-polygon units for SWTA have been remodelled for Spring, so that you can now enjoy high-poly infantry units, as well as a few other vehecular changes.

Feel free to come join us on our own chat channel (itself a good 5 years old), where you can organise games, discuss balance, and report bugs:

Server: irc.gnug.org

Channel: #SWTA

An in-depth manual, with help regarding strategies and unit descriptions can be located [http://www.planetannihilation.com/swta/readme.asp here], however, bear in mind that while much of this will be very helpful, it was originally intended for the Original Total Annihilation release, and so is not 100% accurate or reliable with regards to the Spring release. A Spring-specific manual is in the works.

SWS features around 130 units ranging from all six movies and the expanded universe for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance. Join this galaxy spanning war today, download SWS!

Features

2006-04-04T12:26:52Z

Mugslugs: /* Maps */

====Spring is a project aiming to create a new RTS.====
However, some mods are based of Cavedogs's Intellectual Property, XTA, AA, UTASP etc, and you are legally required to own a copy of Total Annihilation to play them.
There are several mods out and large ammounts in development than are completely free of Cavedogs IP and you can play these without worrying.

====Units====
Spring reads the TA unit format after some conversion, so 3rd party units should work just as well as the original ones.

====Maps====
Maps from TA are not supported though. They are not (that) suited for 3D view, as they are not drawn from above but at an angle. This means that the far side of hills for example lose a lot of detail. This is clearly shown in some of the maps that have been directly ported from OTA. It is also not uncommon for the height map and texture to not exactly line up, creating ugly artifacts.

Here is an (incomplete) list of some of the currently implemented stuff in Spring, and some of the ones that we have planned.

Current features:
* High resolution maps, viewable from all angles and ranges with an eight to one texture to height map ratio and a customisable detail texture
* Dynamic map with craters from weapon and unit explosions
* Work with unit files from Total annihilation
* Realistic 3D trajectories for weapons
* Fully 3D air combat
* Several camera modes to suit different tastes
* [[Mod switcher]]
* Lobby Client
* Spring [[Linux]] Port, and a Mac port soon after
* Several independently developed AI's that will give you a run for your money
* Dozens of mods for all your conquering needs
* New modern unit format with UV mapping

Currently in development:
* New GUI
* New scripting engine
* Platform-Independent Lobby Client

Other plans not on any roadmap:
* [[Monthly Topic Rotation]]

Linux

Mugslugs: /* Running Spring via wine */

Spring is running on Linux''!''
But it's not ready for a release, networking and sound need love for example.

To compile spring yourself, refer to the [[SetupGuide]]

The Linux porting effort is underway at BerliOS. 
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/taspring-linux/ 
The linux port wiki startpoint is: http://taspring.clan-sy.com/wiki/MultiplatformSpring
The old linux port wiki (which may or may not work at the moment) was: http://taspring-linux.berlios.de/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage 
The old location for Linux development was https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/taspring_linux/trac.cgi/wiki 

The Linux porting mailinglist can be found at http://lolut.utbm.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/taspring-linux a move to the mailinglist provided by BerliOS is posible in the (near) future.

Even though a native Linux port of Spring is progressing well you can play Spring on Linux using [http://winehq.org/ Wine]:

'''''This is unconfirmed, if it's not working please figure it out and update this wiki page!''''' 
And if you had success with these guidelines please let us know.

'''1 - You'll need, of course, Wine installed.''' 
'''2 - Be sure to have 3D hardware acceleration enabled.''' 
'''3 - Install Spring or use an already installed Spring in Windows.''' 

'''1 - You'll need, of course, Wine installed.''' 
Just use the version included with your distribution. 
You can try to compile from source but that probably just more difficult.

'''2 - Be sure to have 3D hardware acceleration enabled.''' 
Spring is a fully 3D game and will require those. This usually means you have to install the nVidia/Ati comercial drivers.
Just install the package from you distribution.
If you're having problems installing these, you'll also probably find better help at their web sites.
Don't expect much from the Spring forum as they almost all run MS Windows.

To know if you have 3D acceleration working, you can execute in a comand line the comand:
glxinfo
If it shows the line:
direct rendering: yes
You probably have them working.

'''3 - Install Spring or use an already installed Spring in Windows.''' 
* If you already have Spring installed in Windows, make sure that partition is accessible in Linux, use a comand line to change directory (cd) into it and execute:
wine TASClient.exe
* If you don't have Spring installed yet, install it executing in a comand line where the installer file is located:
wine taspring_0.73b3.exe
(or whatever else the installer might be called)
Then, change directory to where you installed it to, generally:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/TASpring
(the comand line only accepts " " spaces in paths if they have an "\" before, like: cd Program\ Files)
And, similarly, execute:
wine TASClient.exe

My Linux instalation, Suse Linux 9.3, installed by default Wine and had the option, through the YOU auto-updating tool, to automatically install the commercial drivers. If your distribution also has such options, it can save you much work.

Mugslugs: /* Modifying and Compiling the Source */

Outlined below is information on assisting with the development of the Spring source itself.

::NOTE: For information about developing a mod (units, maps, etc.) see the [[Mod Development]] page.

Below you can find information on how to work with the Spring source in the current mainline (Windows platform) if you like to work on another platform (Linux & Mac) please look at the bottem of this page under "Multiplatform development"

==Starting Development==
To start development, you will need
#The latest version of the source
#A good code manipulation program
#Compiling your modified source

===Source Code Documentation===
A good place to start is the source code documentation, which can be found here: [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/doxygen/ doxygen]

An explanation on how the code is executed in game can be found in the [[Spring Engine Code]]
page.

===Obtaining the Source===

If you just want to look at the code, you can use [http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/taspring-linux/trunk/ HTTP based viewing of the repository]

Another option is to manually download it along with the latest released version of the game. However, for serious developers, a better way would be to download the source straight from the subversion (SVN) repository. This will also allow you to make a patch out of the changes you make to the code, and send it to one of the developers with SVN access.

More information about downloading from the svn repository is available at the
[http://developer.berlios.de/projects/taspring-linux BerliOS Project page]
Two good windows SVN clients are SmartSVN and TortoiseSVN.

===Learning C++===
You will need to know C++ to modify or understand Spring's source code. If you are interested in learning C++, see [[Learning_CPP]]

However please note that badly designed code (code created by a C++ novice for example), will even if working not be included in the spring code. Spring is a large project, and therefore it is necessary to stay away from hack jobs and create general solutions to problems.

===Modifying and Compiling the Source===
See [[Development_IDEs]]. You have either to use the SCons build system that is multi platform, or use the vcproj for building spring in Visual Studio 2003.
Currently the build is actively updated for Linux and for Visual Studio 2003
You will needs these libraries:

*[http://www.boost.org Boost C++ library]
*[http://www.openal.org OpenAL Audio library]
*[http://glew.sf.net GLEW (OpenGL extension loading)]
*[http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/ zlib + minizip]
*[http://www.libsdl.org SDL]
*[http://openil.sf.net DevIL (Image loading)]
*[http://www.freetype.org Freetype font rendering]

*[http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ DirectX SDK] (Windows, Visual Studio C++ only)
*PlatformSDK (Windows, Visual Studio C++ Only)

If you are using Windows, you can find most of the dependences pre-built at [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=49257#49257 here].
A pre-built copy of boost for VS8 can be found [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=56846#56846 here].
If you wish to build using scons on windows you need these,

Grab and install the above programs.

'''Set-Up'''

Make sure C:\Python2.4 and C:\Dev-Cpp\bin are in your PATH environment variable. Make sure a MINGDIR environment variable with value C:\Dev-Cpp exists. (Change paths where appropriate.) Set environment variables by: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment variables (for Windows XP), Checkout the TA Spring SVN repository.you will also need the [http://spring.clan-sy.com/dl/spring-mingwlibs.exe Mingw / DevCPP libs] extract to /taspring.

'''Compiling'''

Open a console (Start -> Run -> cmd.exe -> Run), cd /where you checked it out in the previous step, if you use checked it out on a different drive make sure to change drives with DriveLetter:<enter> first then type scons configure<enter>, followed by scons<enter>. Refer to scons --help for options that can be passed to scons configure. Wait, this will take a while. Copy over data files and stuff from official spring to the game dir (where spring.exe is created). Copy missing DLLs from mingwlibs/dll, Start developing.

If you are using Linux, refer to the [[SetupGuide]] to build Spring and get it running.

==Development Suggestions==

Before starting to make modifications to the source, take a look at the [[development guidelines]] which outlines some important things to think about. To find something interesting to work on, look at the list of [[example projects]]. You can also check the list of [[whois doing what]] to see what others are doing. If you do edit the code, please add [[Doxygen style comments]] to the code, which will then enhance the source code documentation.

===How to get your code included===
If you create something that you think should be included in the official source tree, you can send an email to the development mailing list shown at [[Linux]] page. Sending your code in the form of a patch (also known as a .diff file), will make the chances of including it in the main code.
It's also considered standard practice to post one's modifications in the [http://taspring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=12 development forum] and get feedback.

==Multiplatform development==
Current development is done on the portable code only, located at [http://developer.berlios.de/projects/taspring-linux Berlios]
All current and future releases will be based on this code.
The current spring code is being developed on Windows and linux. A mac port is being worked on, as well as other unixes.
Use the mailing list listed on the [[Linux]] page to reach all developers (windows and linux). However if you have a feature request or bug report, the mantis bugtracker is probably a better way.
Development information about the portable code can be found here: [[MultiplatformSpring]]

==Spring Engine TODO list==
There is a TODO list for developers who want to contribute to the engine itself:
[[SpringEngineTODO]]
