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!

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.

Units:Files

2007-06-20T11:38:27Z

SpikedHelmet:

==Unit File Heirarchy==

Here is a very brief view of the different types of files that a unit needs to work:

'''1 - The FBI File (/units)'''
Contains most of the active data that a unit uses, such as its health, a list of which weapons it has, speed, metal/energy cost, whether it is a construction unit or not, so on and so forth.

'''2 - The COB File (/scripts)'''
This contains all of the scripting for this unit. Animation scripting, as well as variables, and lots of other goodies the likes of which only zwzsh can think up. The .COB file is the compiled form of the file that Spring reads; it can be decompiled into a .BOS file which is readily open to editing. Scripts work by calling on pieces of the unit's model to do things, such as rotate a turret to aim at a target, or emit smoke when the unit is damaged. The pieces named in the script file must reflect actual parts of the unit's...

'''3 - The 3DO/S3O File (/objects3d)'''
This contains the actual 3d model that the unit uses in-game. Most units have a variety of different pieces that are put together in a heirarchy type form (for instance, a tank has a hull, a turret attached to that, and a barrel attached to that). There are two types of files. 3DO is native to Total Annihilation and being that it is over 10 years old now, it's rather... crap. It uses a single-face texture system, where you individually set which texture goes on which individual face. S3O's are by far superior, and accept proper skinning as well as a massive amount of other features, such as reflectivity, light generation, teamcolour, etc. The tag determining which model a unit uses is in the FBI file; note that in order to properly use an .S3O model file it MUST have the extension in the tag -- ie, model=ARMCOMM.S3O.

'''4 - The WEAPON File(s) (/weapons)'''
Most units have weapons. The characteristics of these weapons, from its behaviour to how it acts in the air, is determined in the weapon file.

'''5 - The SIDEDATA File (/gamedata)'''
Every unit must be build somewhere, right? Whether its a building built by a construction vehicle, or a K-Bot built in a K-Bot Plant, everything needs to be properly placed so that it can be available to any player. Thusly, the Sidedata file contains all information pertaining to where a unit is built. Open it up and look. You'll get it.

'''6 - The SOUND File (/gamedata)'''
All units use sound (or should) when performing various basic functions, such as being selected, confirming an order or announcing its arrival somewhere. Every unit FBI contains a tag called "SoundCatagory", which lists a catagory as given in the Sound file. The Sound file contains a bunch of catagories which list which functions perform which sounds, for which units. So if you want to make a recording of yourself screaming, and want to make a unit play that when it moves.. well, there you go.

'''7 - The CORPSE File (/features/corpses)'''
Most units have some sort of corpse file, ie, a burnt wreck that it leaves when it dies. The corpse files are like mini FBI files but contain a lot less data, usually containing only basic information such as what model to use as the wreckage, how much metal the wreck will give if reclamated, etc...

'''8 - The TEXTURES File(s) (/unittextures and /unittextures/tatex)'''
There are two different types of texture files. First are Total Annihilation-style single-face textures, which are saved as .bmp files in the unittexutres/tatex folder. 3DO units use these archaic things. Then there are skins, which are usually .DDS but often .PNG or .TGA files. They are a single image file which is stretched over the unit, and contains everything from which parts should reflect light, to which parts should generate light, to where to show teamcolour and of course the basic graphical design of the unit. Go find out how to skin for yourself.

'''9 - The UNIT PICTURE File(s) (/unitpics)'''
Unit pictures are those little thumbnails which show up in the build menus of units ingame. They're just a little graphical representation of the unit so people know what they're building when they click it. These are just basic graphic files, like .BMPs, which are named in the unit's FBI file (with the Buildpic=xxxx.bmp; tag).

Well, that's basically it. Took me all of 15 minutes to write. Well, it's very basic but I hope it helps introduce some new potential modders in a nice, easy-to-understand way.

C'est la vie!

Map Reviews

2006-10-10T07:22:02Z

SpikedHelmet: /* Normal Maps */

If anyone else wants to do more work on this, it might be useful to have the maps sorted by size.

==Normal Maps==

===2 Lakes===

Peter: a nice 1v1 map. 3 mex spots near each start location give a total of ~5 metal. The underwater pair gives another ~5, and the peninsula spots also total ~5.

The main asymmetry is that there is land above the water at the north end, and some kbots can walk through. (as opposed to the south end, where the water goes all the way to the edge of the map.) The water is deep and steep, so there are no spots to ford the river with non-amphibious units. A transport will be important. Some of the hills might be too steep for hovercraft, but they could come up the river. Definitely an interesting map.

stats:
size: 10x10; Description=Made by CW83, Wind:1-25;
Gravity=130; TidalStrength=10; MaxMetal=0.8; ExtractorRadius=60;

===2 Valleys===

Deci: Mostly an air map, as not even kbots can climb the plateus, mex radius is also too small for the metal layout.

===4 skulls===

Deci: Simply too much metal, otherwise a solid map. Try lowering the metal income on the hills to around 1.5 or lower.

FizWizz: Interesting map, funny metal but fun to play. However, the metalmap is really bright.

===Absolute Zero===

===Alaska===

AF: Needs stuff on the corner bits, preferrably custom snowy tree like features and other assortments, and a small open space, otherwise looks nice but a bit plain.

===Altored Divide===
Diesel: One of my all-time favorites. This map is an absolute classic and provides excellent teamplay opportunities thanks to its clever design. Furthermore it is relatively fast-paced while not excessive with the metal. The texture isn't the best but who cares when it just plays so good!

===Altored Earth===

Sehk: Big, brawny, with some interesting metal placement. Not very pretty, but often fun to play on. A more advanced version with more metal, better texture and better terrain could be an award winning map.

===Ancient Arena===

Deci: I have heard that this is an excellent FFA map, though I myself do not normally play FFA

Sehk: Very good for FFA and small but numerous team games (5 teams of 2 comes to mind) if completely dependent on the center. Height map issues may arise, and the water in the corners offers another viable few strategies most players shouldn't need to deal with.

===Anglo-Saxon Starfish===

Deci: Too much metal, otherwise a good combo of land and sea.

===Ashap Plateau===

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 00:55, 16 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): Apparently an old favourite for 1v1s and 2v2s. The ground is covered with spires that really muck up most units' pathfinding and firing.

Pintle: Classic map for quick 2v2 or 1v1. Often boils down to a plasma duel or a commander face off over the centre. There is one spot south of the middle where a lab can be built

===Ashpen===

Gnome: Good, not too big and not too much metal. Wouldn't mind a slightly larger one with more topography, but it's still good.

===Atlantic===

Deci: A strange map, as amphibious units are near useless due to mountainous shorelines and air and naval power rule the day. This is another map that would benefit from a larger mex radius.

===Azure Rampart===

Deci: Probably the most played FFA map, not much to say about this one.

Sehk: Not pretty, not very varied, but functional. Good for FFA, but with limited enjoyment and flexibility.

===BlackStar===

Sehk: A rather fun five person FFA map, based around stars and pentagrams. It is pretty, but as it supports an odd number of players, it may never achieve widespread play. The water is viable, but unnecessary. Sharp mountains make effective static defenses difficult to implement in many areas, actually discouraging porcing until late game.

===Blue Planet===

Sehk: Water map, with central metal in the water and lesser metal on land. Once you have the center, it becomes far too easy, and the map doesn't have an incredible amount of replay value. Smaller than I would like.

===Brazilian Battlefield===

AF: Too many trees in one corner makes AI testing on this map unfair. Make a bigger version though, it's somewhat smaller than I would have liked.

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 00:55, 16 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): Good for quick games.

--[[User:Erom|Erom]] The many mountains make this an easy map to porc heavily on. However, it is one of the few small maps, so if you are looking for a quick game, it is a good option.

===Bypass v1===

Peter: 6 player north vs. south map. Each player gets 6 mex spots that each give ~2.6, and there's more metal in the middle. So too much metal for many fewer players. 4 geo vents, two near the north and two right next to each other in the southeast. mostly flat (and no chokepoints or hills that you could really hide behind). The highways are a nice feature: kbots especially get a big speedup from it (movespeed is T/K/H/S = 1.9/1.6/1.4/1.4). You should see a flea fly on it! Strangely (since the tank multiplier is higher than the kbot multiplier) a peewee will outrun a flash on the road, but not on the normal ground everywhere else (1/1/1/1/). Large kbots move well, too, esp. the big spider kbots. The road is much harder (less deformable) than all the other terrain. No water.

stats:
size: 16x16; Description=2 Highways through hilly terrain;
MinWind=10; MaxWind=22; MaxMetal=0.87; ExtractorRadius=44;
Gravity=100; MapHardness=1000; (road: *2, ground: *0.09, hill: *0.2)

===Caldera===

Deci: Basically a larger version of Ashpen

===Castles===

Deci: the ultimate seige map, I don't play this one much anymore, but it is still fun sometimes when the game doesn't slow down.

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 00:55, 16 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): Massive porcfest.

2k4: HUGE metal in water

Targ Collective: Excellent siege map, although the 'Lake of Gold' has less tactical value than it could. Placing an even moderate metal distribution over most of the map, including the grassy areas, allows players to expand resource operations over most of the map, where it could play better confined to the castles and lake solely to force confrontations.

===Cathralda V10===

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 00:10, 25 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): A fun map. Wind is good but very unpredictable. Medium level of metal, quite spread-out. Easily-accessible geothermals, mostly near the center of the map. Rolling hills with some chokepoints, but too open to porc effectively. Vehicles seem to be able to climb all of the hills. The one problem is that it's a little hard to gauge hill heights in the default TA view.

===Cliff Down===

Deci: A good FFA map if the players start at the entrances to the canyon, the starts should probably be changed to reflect this

Gnome: Good metal layout, but it's so big that there's too much available. Also very easy to porc out on (secure your two chokepoints, dot the rest of your base with AA). The game I played on this one became a drawn out stalemate that lasted over three hours because it's simply too damn big.

===Cliff Run===

Deci: too small to really play on.

Gnome: I disagree. It's good for a quick game, the action is quick and it really keeps you on your toes. The hills really add to the map. The trees are somewhat annoying, but area reclaim works.

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 00:55, 16 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): Great fun for 1v1, though watch the water.

===CometCatcher and Green Comet===

Deci: one of the much-loved maps, it isn't my personal favorite, but it's a solid map.

Min3mat: Godlike! accept no substitutues!

Forboding Angel: Too damn flat. Heightmap needs to be redone badly.

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 00:55, 16 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): Great maps, if a little flat. I prefer Green Comet for its left-vs-right setup, but the original's still great.

Sehk: Popular, but not a group I enjoy much.

===Core Pyramid===

Deci: A map with actual low metal, these are rare goodies

===CorrosivePits===

Deci: apparently there is a version 4 out for this map that I haven't played yet.

===Crossings_v4===

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 20:09, 25 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): Fun "push the middle" map. Low metal near start locations, lots in the middle. Assaulting up the ramps is a little annoying at the end, but once you push the enemy out of the middle, you're practically guaranteed a win.

===Crystal-Harbor===

Targ Collective - A fun water map with perhaps just a bit too much metal. Metal spots are used throughout and the centre has a very high metal spot, which in itself accounts for at least half the metal on the map. South has an advantage in land (slight) and Geo spots (two extra), so the choice is a balanced if cramped East vs West, or an unbalanced yet easier teamwise North vs South.

If one team can consistently hold the centre, that team will gain a huge tactical advantage. Therefore, pummelling the centre with artillery if you lose it is advised.

All teams start on land, so the more durable aircraft are available. Specialist seaplanes, esp. torpedo launchers, should see plenty of use.

2k4: you might as well quit if you dont have the center on start

===Crystal-World===

Deci: Mex radius is far too small, it should be doubled or tripled at least.

===Desert Dunes===

Deci: too much metal, otherwise good

FizWizz: This map is Ace. The metal is much higher than a typical map, but I still wuvs it =)

===Dig Site===

===Egypt===

Sehk: Fairly realistic and fun to play, but rather imbalanced due to the placement of water. Metal is plentiful and gameplay is quick.

Diesel: Although not very fair this is a solid and enjoyable map that deserves more attention. It's all about quick expansion baby.

Pintle: "Unfair" comments don't seem to recognise the hilarity that can ensue on this map in a large FFA. One of my all time faves

===Epic===

===EuroGreen===

Forboding Angel: Honestly, it's ugly and a comm swapfest imo. Small maps are good if the are done correcty. Unfortunately this map does not have enough real chokepoints to be viable.

===EvergreenHaven===

--[[User:Egarwaen|Egarwaen]] 00:55, 16 Apr 2006 (W. Europe Daylight Time): Nice hilly map. Good balance between chokepoints and openness. Similar gameplay to GreenHaven.

===Greenhaven===

Deci: One of the popular maps of spring, somewhat rough terrain, while still allowing vehicles.

Peter: OTA-style metal spots each give 1.3. No water, ground covered by bumps.
Start spots for 10 players. There's metal and geo vents for each player. Too resource-rich for small games.
stats:
size: 16x16; Description=GreenHaven-V3 Classic TA Map Converted for TA Spring by GenBlood;
Gravity=150; MapHardness=200; MaxMetal=.32; ExtractorRadius=140; MinWind=8.3; MaxWind=17.4;

===Greenriver===

Min3mat: awesome. IMO the best water map out there

===Hamburger Hill===

Deci: Open-area tank warfare, barely deserves to be called a hill

===Hell's Pass===

Diesel: An excellent map that unfortunately does not get the attention it deserves. This map offers a good teamplay experience and excellent opportunity to strike behind enemy lines in most games. The importance of the middle is often overrated. Metal placement is fair.

===Hill Haven===

FizWizz: My favorite map of the River Dale set. It looks absolutely beautiful, it is simple, but it is not a plain map. It is balanced too, which is a little bit harder to say about the other maps in this series.

===Hills and Valleys===

Deci: a good vehicle and kbot map, I really don't know why this one isn't played more.

Diesel: A most excellent map that has all the elements of a good map and none of a bad one.

===Island in the Sun===

FizWizz: A good naval map, the only island-hopper besides Gods of War II remake, I wish I could see more maps like this on FU.

===Island Alpha===

Deci- decent 1v1 map

===Lava Highground===

Deci: extremely focused on the center, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing for this map

===Lava Rivers===

Deci: Only one land route is generally bad for gameplay

===Mars===

===Martian Desert===

Gnome: Decent for 1v1, probably a little too much metal for that a lot of the time though. Probably very good for 2v2. Not too big either.

===Monopoly===

===MoonQ10 & Moon Q20===

Sehk: Strong pair of windless maps, these are good for team games, though a little less so for 1v1. The canyons offer interesting defensive and offensive challenges, and the metal distribution feels just right.

===Mountain Seige===

Deci: a good kbot map, probably the one that would benefit most from lvl2 kbots having good anti-air.

FizWizz: I love this map, it is beautiful and it plays well too, but it really needs to have a couple of the pathways broadened and leveled some so that they can actually accept traffic.

===Nightscape===

Deci: a personal favorite of mine, this map manages to feel huge even though it isn't.

===Oki River===

Deci: this map has only one real problem, there is too much metal in the water, on this map, the water would probably still be valuable even if there were no metal in it.

2k4: agreed, half the metal should be plenty

===Painted Desert Remake===

Deci: no qualms with this one, solid map

Min3mat: Probably the prettiest map out there with good gameplay. Faithful port by NoiZe ^-^

===Pathways===

Deci: now weighs in at only 15 meg!

===Pax Prime===

Deci: an interesting map simply because of it's color

===PincushionRemake===

Kixxe: This map has a great feel towards the different maps. It's low metal makes expanding a must, constantly fighting over more of the map and more resources. A peewee corpse can be a god's blessing. The pins can be used to place LLT's and radars, but they block much of the radar to, meaning you have to build several on different pins to get a full view. This is a wonderful map, but it can be hard to adapt to since it has "no metal".

===Plains and Passes===

Deci: this map could use a metal reduction, there are so many metal patches that the maxmetal should probably be lowered by a third or so. Also, mex radius is so small that it doesn't even cover the entire metal patch.

Forboding Angel: Nice map, too much metal imo. If I don't have over 300 metal income by the end of the game on this map I've done something wrong.

2k4: increase mex radius, decrease metalspots by 75%

===Rainbow Land===

Deci: as far as I can tell, this is a joke map

===Redhaven===

Deci: rarely played because Greenhaven is easier on the eyes.

===Risk===

===River Dale===

Deci: excellent 3v3 map, though the host needs to be careful where the start boxes are to keep it fair.

2k4: GREAT map

Pintle: Best map i've played for team games

===Road to War===

Deci: my map, so I don't think I can comment

Sehk: One of a very few larger maps that feels better in 1v1 than in a team game, due to the symmetric and rather stolid metal placement. Enjoyable, if not brilliant, still a great map for the occasional game.

===Severnaya Industrial===

SpikedHelmet: Very excellent map. Besides the obvious visual beauty, the map is very interesting to play, with well-placed resources and very intriguing terrain which makes for very challenging gameplay. A+.

===Shore to Shore===

FizWizz: I have never played an enjoyable game on this map, it just does not conduce itself to anything other than porcing, aircraft spamming, or massing battleships, that I have seen.

===Small Supreme Battlefield===

===Sparewood===

Gnome: Excellent for 3FFAs, small and in your face like sherwood, only minus the severely annoying trees at the start points. Not bad for 1v1 either. Perhaps a little too much metal, but it plays very fairly and well.

===Splintered 4x4===

Deci: Absolute annihilation units cannot cross the fords, and therefore it doesn't get played by a very large chunk of spring's players. The speed boost on the ford is also a bit rediculous.

2k4: too high tidal

===Splintered Tropics===

Sehk: A fun map that is far too shallow for serious team games. Best for FFAs; most land units can ford in E&E, many in AA, some in XTA. A good concept that would be interesting in larger maps with deeper water.

===Sunken Outpost===

Deci: an often-played ffa or team map, would be a bit linear if it weren't for the water

===Supreme Battlefield===

===Swamp Island===

Deci: mohos cannot easily be placed on the metal, making this map a bit of a pain to play

===Tendril Mountain===

Deci: another of my maps, it has way too much metal and I plan on fixing it eventually

===The Hunters===

Forboding Angel: All in all it's a solid map. A little low on metal for my tastes but still quite solid. It has large lake type bodies of water running through it. Lakes are large enough to put ships in if you so desire :D

I havn't played this map myself. Only spectated, but I like the layout quite a bit and the atmospheric colors are beautiful. It is rather flat which IMO kinda sucks but regardless it's a rather fun map.

Sehk: The gameplay here is varied, though the terrain is rather feeble. If you want to run a game with every type of unit, this is the place... hovers, tanks, ships, amphibious vehicles, k-bots and planes are all viable, though you would have a hard time with submarines.

===The Abyss===

Deci: Giant filesize makes this one a pain to download

FizWizz: Absolutely destitute of metal, until you reach the crater in the middle. However, I had one of my most fun games of Spring in memory on this map.

===The Cold Place===

Deci: works for teams or FFA

Gnome: Good, faithful port of the original.

2k4: solid map

===The Pass===

Diesel: A decent choke-point map that would have been better had the passage been wider, to allow for more than just AK/peewee assaults. Usually ends up the porcfest with each side building stuff on the mountain. Metal is on the low end but nevertheless acceptable.

===Volcano Island===

Deci: subs have some difficulty getting though certain areas, should be changed

===XantheTerra===
Jackalope: A relatively flat map with a beautiful texture and even but fairly random metal distribution. There are slight hills in various areas which can slow down your units when attacking, kbots will do better.

Sehk: This is a rather useful map, particularly for mods that happen to use vehicles and mechs/k-bots, such as AA, XTA and E&E. It seems small, but can easily support a 5v5.

==Metal Maps==

===Core Prime Industrial Area===

FizWizz: The metal concentration on the North/South Pyramids is ridiculous. Being both a metal map and a classic OTA map, it ought to have even metal distribution throughout, but as it is now, the strategic importance of the four walled forts is greatly diminished.

Min3mat: Awful metal map which would be better with even displacement of metal

===Metal Isles===

FizWizz: Being both a metal map and a classic OTA map, it ought to have even metal distribution, but there is zero metal in the water. Not a crimp on gameplay, but something which should have been remedied.

===SpeedMetal===

Sehk: A map of great contention, this map suffers from useless water and a very restrictive field of play. It can be fun to try out new things, but all in all it isn't a very good map. Has the metal down, but not really the map part.

<TR><th>Variable </th><th> Description </th><th> Examples</Th> </tr>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Accuracy</TD>
<TD>How accurate a weapon is. A larger number is less accurate. If this tag is missing entirely, it has perfect accuracy unless its target moves unexpectedly. Accuracy is relative to the distance to the target; for instance, if the target is very close, even a very high accuracy value will probably still hit. If a target is very far away, even a very low accuracy value will likely cause the weapon to miss. Can be any numeric value.</TD>
<TD>accuracy=400;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>AreaOfEffect</TD>
<TD>How large the weapon's impact explosion is. This affects how powerful the weapon's default impulse strength will be. Currently, BeamLasers with an AreaOfEffect of 16 or above will deform the ground at their point of impact regardless of whether it has been told not to. Can be any numeric value, but should generally be at least 8, regardless of the type of weapon.</TD>
<TD>areaofeffect=192;</TD>

<TD>dropped=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>EdgeEffectiveness</TD>
<TD>Determines what percent of a weapon's maximum damage value will be applied to units as they are closer to the outer edge of the weapon's AreaOfEffect. Must have a decimal value between 0 and 1. Default in OTA was 0, probably the same in Spring.</TD>

<TD>intensity=1.5;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>InterceptedByShieldType</TD>
<TD>Bitfield representing the types of shields that can intercept this weapon. The best way to think about this is to think of it as the resulting binary. Every digit of binary that is set to one means that a shield with that digit set to one will intercept this weapon, for instance, the example will result in the weapons being blocked by shields with types 1 and/or 3. Maxium of 32 unique types. See [[Shield Interception Tag Use]].</TD>
<TD>InterceptedByShieldType=5;</TD>

<TD>metalpershot=500;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Model</TD>
<TD>The 3DO or S3O model to be used as this weapon's physical representation. 3DO modesl do not need a .3do extension, but S3O weapon do.</TD>
<TD>model=missile;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>MovingAccuracy</TD>
<TD>A weapon's accuracy while moving. See Accuracy. Can be any numeric value.</TD>
<TD>movingaccuracy=1000;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>NoExplode</TD>
<TD>Whether or not the weapon will explode on impact or continue on its path. An example is the d-gun. Can be set to 1 or 0.</TD>
<TD>noexplode=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>NoSelfDamage</TD>
<TD>This weapon will not damage the unit that fired it. For instance, a nuke silo could shoot itself and not take any damage if this was active. Can be set to 1 or 0.</TD>
<TD>noselfdamage=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Paralyzer</TD>
<TD>If active, this weapon will not cause any damage to its target, but will instead paralyze (aka EMP). The default damage value of a weapon with this active will be applied to the target's HP; once the HP is overwhelmed, it will be paralyzed. Can be set to 1 or 0.</TD>

<TD>reloadtime=3.5;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Rendertype</TD>
<TD>The way the weapon will be displayed. Certain rendertypes are incompatibile with other tags, but it's generally for a logical reason. The rendertypes are as follows: 0 - Laser, 1 - Model, 3 - Plasma, 4 - Unit explosion (usally), 5 - Flamethrower, 6 - Dropped, 7 - Lightning. There's no documented use of rendertype=2 in OTA, and it probably doesn't do anything in Spring. 3 and 4 are usually interchangeable, both can be used to render a plasma/EMG/whatever shot; this is probably for compatibility.</TD>
<TD>rendertype=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>RGBColor</TD>
<TD>The color of the rendertype 0, 3, 4, 7 weapon, specified in RED_GREEN_BLUE format.</TD>

</TR>
<TR>
<TR>
<TD>RGBColor2</TD>
<TD>The color at the core of a rendertype 0 (laser) weapon. Specified the same as above. Defaults to white.</TD>
<TD>RGBColor2=0 1 0; - this would make a weird green middle for the evul-purple laser</TD>

</TR>
<TR>
<TD>SoundTrigger</TD>
<TD>If active, the weapon will sound every time a shot is fired in a burst sequence. Can be set to 1 or 0.</TD>
<TD>soundtrigger=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>SprayAngle</TD>
<TD>How wide the the angle of a burst from a burst weapon can be. Very similar to Accuracy, except that if a weapon has no sprayangle, all the shots will be fired at the same spot, even if the weapon's aim is off.</TD>

</TR>
<TR>
<TD>StartVelocity</TD>

<TD>If active, the weapon will be automatically targeted by any Interceptor weapons.</TD>
<TD>targetable=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>TargetMoveError</TD>
<TD>The degree to which a weapon's aiming will fail to keep up with its target's movement. If set very low or not set at all, a weapon will lead its target and almost always hit unless there's a lot of micromanagement on the part of the person controlling the target. If set too high (about 0.3 or above), the weapon will have a lot of difficulty even tracking its target enough to get a shot off. Can probably only be set between 0 and 1. Beyond 1, the weapon would be virtually useless.</TD>
<TD>targetmoveerror=0.15;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Thickness</TD>
<TD>Thickness of a beamweapon or beamlaser, default is 2. Can be set to any numerical value.</TD>
<TD>thickness=4;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>ToAirWeapon</TD>
<TD>If active, the weapon will only be capable of targetting units which are flying, or are capable of flying. Can be set to 0 or 1.</TD>

</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Tolerance</TD>
<TD>The amount to which the weapon's "real" aim can be off while the weapon will still be able to fire accurately at the target. This worked in OTA, but I'm not 100% sure if it works in Spring. Can be set to any numerical value.</TD>

</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Tracks</TD>
<TD>Is the missile capable of tracking a target after it has completed its transition - for use with vertical-launch missiles. Can be set to 1 or 0.</TD>
<TD>tracks=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>TrajectoryHeight</TD>
<TD>The amount that the weapon is fired upwards. I'm pretty sure this can only work on missile weapons. It is useful for compensating for mountains or debris. Can be set between 0 and 1. 0 fires straight, 1 fires at 90 degrees (directly upward). Obviously, only useful on weapons with guidance.</TD>
<TD>trajectoryheight=0.5;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Turnrate</TD>
<TD>How fast a guided weapon can turn. Can be any numerical value. If set to 0, the weapon can't turn at all, if set to 99999, the weapon can literally defy all known physics and turn 180 degrees in a fraction of a second. This is relative to a weapon's velocity; a weapon with a very low velocity (~200) wouldn't need a very high turnrate to keep up with a fighter, although it would probably never catch it because of its slow speed. A weapon with a very high velocity (~1000) would need a very high value in order to be able to hit targets that turn suddenly.
<TD>turnrate=32000;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Turret</TD>
<TD>Set to 1 if weapon is used by a turret that rotates. Set to 0 if weapon is forward firing, ie, has no rotating turret piece.</TD>
<TD>turret=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>TwoPhase</TD>

<TD>twophase=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>VLaunch</TD>
<TD>Set to 1 to launch the weapon vertically. Can only be used with missile-type weapons with a TurnRate. Cannot be used at the same time as Turret. Set to 1 or 0.</TD>
<TD>vlaunch=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>WaterWeapon</TD>
<TD>Does the weapon fire below water? Can be set to 1 or 0.</TD>
<TD>waterweapon=1;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>WeaponAcceleration</TD>
<TD>Tells the weapon how fast it should accelerate from its StartVelocity to its actual WeaponVelocity. Increases the weapon's velocity every second by the amount specified. Can be any numerical value.</TD>
<TD>weaponacceleration=50;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>WeaponTimer</TD>
<TD>How long until the weapon will go into its second phase. For use with missile weapons. For VLaunch weapons, the weapon will turn to actually go towards its target after the specified number of seconds has expired. For non-VLaunch missiles with a TurnRate, the weapon will go randomly off-course after this period of time. Can be set to any numerical value.</TD>
<TD>weapontimer=5;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>WeaponVelocity</TD>
<TD>The speed the weapon moves after being fired. If StartVelocity is lower than this number, the weapon will increase speed to its WeaponVelocity at the rate specified by its WeaponAcceleration.</TD>
<TD>weaponvelocity=800;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Wobble</TD>
<TD>The amount that a missile will wobble off-course. Probably doesn't work with Guidance weapons. Requires TurnRate. Can be set to any numerical value.</TD>
<TD>wobble=15000;</TD>
</TR>
