Overview

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.

--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.
