Description

Spring is a free Real Time Strategy (RTS) game engine, originally designed to play Total Annihilation (© 1997 Cavedog) content. It has since evolved into a general RTS engine, capable of running various kind of games (mods).

It is mainly designed around online multiplayer games but can also be played in single-player mode against AIs.

This is the engine version which runs graphics and simulation in two separate threads. This may boost performance on multi-core systems.

Options

-h, --help

Print the options help message and exit

-V, --version

Display program version and exit

--sync-version

Display program sync version (for online gaming) and exit

-f, --fullscreen

Run in fullscreen mode

-w, --window

Run in windowed mode

-x, --xresolution::'SIZE'

Set X resolution

-y, --yresolution::'SIZE'

Set Y resolution

-m, --minimise

Start minimised

--safemode

Turns off many things that are known to cause problems (i.e. on PC/Mac's with lower-end graphic cards)

-s, --server

Run as a server

-c, --client

Run as a client

-p, --projectiledump

Dump projectile class info (alias CEG classes) into projectiles.txt

-t, --textureatlas

Dump each finalised textureatlas into textureatlasN.tga

-i, --isolation

Limit the data-dir (games & maps) scanner to one directory (see --isolation-dir and the SPRING_ISOLATED env var)

--isolation-dir::'PATH'

Specify the isolation-mode data-dir (see --isolation and the SPRING_ISOLATED env var)

-n, --name::'NAME'

Set your player name

-C, --config::'FILE'

Configuration file

--list-ai-interfaces

Dump a list of available AI Interfaces to STDOUT

--list-skirmish-ais

Dump a list of available Skirmish AIs to STDOUT

--list-config-vars

Dump all default config vars in JSON-format to STDOUT

Data dir

Data directories are searched for content, and among other things, may contain: *cache *games *maps *AI

When running the engine, it may use multiple data directories, but it will use only a single one of them as writable, to write cache & log files to.

Files

~/.spring/

The default data-directory (see section DATA DIR).

~/.springrc

Contains the users settings for the engine, for things like graphic and sound.

/etc/spring/datadir

Contains the : separated paths to additional data-dirs (see section DATA DIR).

Enviroment variables

SPRING_LOG_SECTIONS Selective functionality to change the verbosity (separated by ,).

SPRING_DATADIR Adds additional directories Spring will search for files (separated by :).

SPRING_ISOLATED If defined, Spring will stop searching files outside of the binaries directory. If it is set to a valid directory path, it will be used as the isolation directory. See the --isolation and the --isolation-dir options.
