| |
| | |
| As a subnote, many of Spring's pre beta members have been working on code to get the music working, while yet others have spent time studying other games and their setups. Current thinking is of a THE SIMS style, where you can specify your own music.

| ===Raise/Lower Terrain===
| |
| People suggesting or requesting some kind of better control over deformable terrain or some kind of terraforming unit. Often associated with people posting pictures of cool effects they have achieved through the use of the current "blow a big hole and then restore to the desired surface" method.

| ===Improved feature reactivity===
| |
| | |
| Bridges that you can acctually walk on, better hit detection, there are lots of improvements that could be made to the way spring units, models, and features react to eachother in the most basic sense. Often they are mentioned in the same topic.

| ===Spherical/Looping/Endless maps===
| |
| | |
| A number of options are available for making the map "go on forever"... and apparently the '''new''' new map format includes support for extanding the map behond the playable area of the map (no more ugly edges).
| |
| | |
| Usually what is being suggested if for maps to just loop, refered to a sphere but more like a "double cylinder" or "Torus"... some people basically think we could just "warp" units to the other side of the map, but issues have been brought up with ranged weapons, line of sight and figuring out where shots are coming from. If you go WAY WAY back you can even see this idea included in an idea for an MMORTS based on the spring engine.

| ===What is that map with the trees... (and others)===
| |
| | |
| Ok, so its a map, but me, and others I'm sure are fed up of repeting ourselves... The map with trees is NOT availble for download. Its part of aGorms imagination. Unfortunatly the engin currentlyt can't handel the trees very well so its not released... You will see the screen alot because... well people think its a realy good screen.

| ===Rewinding Replays===
| |
| | |
| Many people want stuff such as a .jumpto (time) command, or the ability to rewind during a replay. The nature of replays and the spring simulation implies that rewinding can never happen, so discussing this is really pointless.

| |
| | |
| ===Random Map Generator===
| |
| People want maps randomly generated so no one has an advantage starting out. One potential problem is the randomly generated maps might be unbalanced or suck in other ways. Also there are the issues of distributing the randomly generated map and the time it takes to generate it.

"Monthy Topic Rotation" is a term coined by Gnome referring to the fact that people keep coming into the forums and posting messages on the same subject. It seems that as Spring becomes more popular, more new people keep coming up with the same ideas and questions... think of this as the "Is your idea original?" FAQ as opposed to the "real" FAQ.
Now in some situations it's okay to repost on the same topic, if it has been only mentioned before in other people's topics or if you make reference to the fact that it is a known issue you are addressing with new ideas... but that doesn't excuse you from the list. One way or the other, the community might make fun of you for rehashing old topics, expecially when they aren't forgotten so much as people are bored of talking about them.
This has now turned into a sort of game. You can see the current scores here: http://maelstrom.niiil.com/?l=mtr (Note from a visitor: link seems to be down)
The Topics
List of Generic Topics with brief discussion and list of topics posted on these subjects for quick reference:
Custom Resources
Requests or Suggestions that involve anything from different names for the resources we have, better control over the handling of resources, resources like those in other games etc. The best generalized suggestion is for a more dynamic, mod controlled resource and unit limit. Often coupled with suggestions for hacking or script based work arounds for the lack of the requested feature.
OTA Style Music
Requests or Suggestions that the engine include music playback, especially music that changes depending on what kind of action is happening in game. Associated with requests for a sound track of any kind or asking for a link to get the orriginal TA Soundtrack in MP3 format.
