Gundam RTS 1.21

This project as far as Total annihilation would allow was completed, I have now begun expanding on the original concept into what the spring engine can handle. With all that I have originally planned for the total annihilation TC completed, I now carry the project further and closer to a true work of fan art, improving models and improving gameplay. Some models already have been updated or replaced where as others are still the same. Feel free to post comments on the models or anything related to the project here.
Why are there two Gundam profiles:
As you well know this very same project is also registered for Total annihilation. However after reaching 1.0 the mod has split into two branches. Gundam Annihilation(more for ta) and Gundam RTS(game for the engine spring). Gundam Annihilation 1.0 is not released to the Total Annihilation community but gundam spring is. Gundam RTS will continue to grow as spring gives me more features.
One Big thing of note is that unlike Total Annihilation, the Spring engine is FREE and that means that this project is more readily accessible then the Total Annihilation counterpart.
Again, spring is a free rts engine, with many games, ta mods and a good gundam game that I am working on! How can you go wrong with a free gundam RTS!
get spring here!
get the latests version(1.21) here

So I am moving over the next month or so. As such I figured I should let you guys know what has been going on since it has been a month since I posted something.
There has been a lot of discussion about things that need to be changed about GRTS and improved. People have cited everything from the ui still being difficult to the fact that I mislabeled the rgm 79[g] as having a 120mm. Well I have been listening but stuff like a new ui is going to take a bit. Even though work is coming slow I do not want you to think I ignore your feedback. It is quite the opposite.
Some thoughts as of late are the following:
Your health bars will be team colored and always visible on enemy units. This is also being done in the interest of another planned feature and because I think it looks silly. I want zaku1s to be a proper color, char's gelgoog should not have splashes of color, it is char's gelgoog!

(ez-8 inserted for scale and because I love the model)
Pictured are:
Saberfish
- a capable anti-air fighter, will have a missile barrage special where it will fire it's 12 missiles at 1 target!
Tincod
- an extremely fragile yet powerful AA unit.
Don Escargot
- No, I didn't make the name up. It is a torpedo bomber. Should help the federation players defend against the zeon amphibs.
I have been doing assorted other models for scenery in the maps and will be doing a LOT more code work when I return and continue refining GRTS. I know news has been slow lately and it will be slow for the next month but I wanted to tell you guys what is going on.
Oh hey if anyone out there is a modeler... I could always use the help of a decent low poly guy... just putting that out there...

Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free) and do things you never thought possible.
I am not sure what to do in the game, is there a faq for this game?
There is a video that shows how to start a base.
I am sorry I do not understand the question, are you having difficulty installing, running or playing it?
Do people still play, tried the gundam rts on the spring page but I could never find anyone in the lobby running it.
You have to start a game and ask people to join in. there is a #gundam channel...
join it by typing /join #gundam
we had a guy in the channel dying for a game of gundam for most of the day today but I have been too busy changing stuff to play. So you could have played with him :(.
mann ... i cant play?? wtf? i downloaded everything from here and spring but can open it or watever .. i love gundams butt freakk yo this sukksss 4 mee .... =[
/join #gundam in the lobby. If you do not have the lobby to /join #gundam then you need to get it here:
Sourceforge.net
ask questions in the channel.
wat all do u need to download? do u just need the gundam1.21?
The spring engine and the 1.21 file. both links are at the top of the page.
You install spring and then extract the gundam files into that dir. If you look in the zip file you will see where they are going.
Uhmm, Mine doesn't exactly work.... i mean i can play, but after i make my base, and my army, theres nothing to kill :S. Im pretty sure i did the instructions right, I downloaded all the requirements, Well only the gundam 1.12 and the spring engine... >_< Im kinda new and just joined today, i only have 3 maps too.. when i watch other people play, it looks so different compared to mine :S
It's all good pieman, in order to have something to fight, select the zeon or federation lua ais. They are spawners that will give you something to practice against. Fair warning, the feddie ai is meant to be harder than the zeon so first beat the zeon lua ai.
When you say looks different as in, you are unable to build the same units?
Or perhaps their play style is different?
