    So here's the invitation :):

    L/OS RTS XMAS Invite

    (Libre / Open Source RTS crews informal and relaxed meetup)

    Date and time:   tbd (for me 30th of Dec or 2nd Jan ca. 21 CET are best)

    Where:                tbd (Suggestion: Gather.Town )

    Who:                   OS RTS game devs (I'd expand scope for later events)

    Why? :                To have fun meeting the people behind other great games :) !                  


    I've set up a Matrix ( https://app.element.io/#/room/!prhUKXgZSvSgDryEPy:matrix.org ) and Discord ( https://discord.gg/YmMzRjFp ) Space - bridged of course :P. Idea being having a central spot for feedback and getting those "tbd"s set :).

    Looking forward to seeing people there !

    Regards, Sean

    To follow up on:

    Hi, I meant to put out the invitation yesterday, so since its getting closer, I'll just say I'd like to meetup informally to celebrate our / your Games (+ as a preliminary step to possible cooperation :P). The dates that work best for me are the 30th of December, and the 2nd of January - around 21:00 CET.

    Details (and link to the "invite server") should follow this evening!

    Regards,

    Sean

  4. Any interest in some form of "cross game" exchange ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hey, if there's a better place to ask, please point me there :).

    I've had this thought a while, that the various (well polished) Open-Source Games would very much profit from greater communication or even cooperation.

    So question: Would there be any interest from Wildfire Games team in talking in one way or another with people eg from Warzone 2100,  Zero-K, or Beyond all Reason? (all RTS games)

    To clarify - I'm not actually from any of those groups, but I'd be happy to takle a "project" facilitating cross-talk :).

    Happy to expand or give examples if wanted! Regards,

    Sean Scherer

  5. Can We reduce Lag in 0AD by using Dedicated Game Servers to Only Do the Host Activities

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    Posted

    Ok, I've been rooting round the SpringRTS forums (I've not been round there myself - 'xept for short glimpses - the last 10 years :P ).

    My impression was right, what most games use is a lobby-client bot, that also starts headless "dedicated" servers that run the game:

    https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=17130

    I'm sure this helped address some issues (lag and other), but from descriptions I read here, that's only part of the problem for you.

     

    Side note: a difference between here and things with SpringRTS, is that over there, its more of an "ecosystem" than the more clearly deliminated and official components that you have here (my impression - The "SPADS" server being an example of that). I reckon both has its advantages and disadvantages.

    Sorry If I wasn't clear there isn't currently any working / finished way of hosting a headless server in the cloud.

    First you or someone need to develop the dedicated server application then we can start deploying stuff to the cloud.

    Hey, I'm new here, so if my comments are not helpful or useful - no need to get into depth explaining, I'm just trying to share views (and I didn't understand everything on the page you linked).

    I'm coming from the SpringRTS engine community, and there "dedicated servers" are more or less the norm, as far as I can tell. If iirc, that's true both for the "lobby side", ie setting up the game (which I think you are just implementing?), as well as running the game / simulation

    Ok, I notice I'm not sure enough to give much insight, I'll check on SpringRTS side and get back to you :P.

  7. Where are you from?

    Hi, I'll use this thread to introduce myself:

    I'm Sean, from Heidelberg, Germany. (And my Nick stands for my first name, followed by the initials of my second names :P. - CJ).

    I'm just installing 0 AD right now.

    The reason I'm here is because I'd like to see better cooperation between different Libre / Open Source Games (RTS games to get started with). But more on that in a different thread + Subforum :P .

    P.S. Me and two other guys made the following game some time ago (died pretty quick though :P ) : https://www.indiedb.com/games/engines-of-war
