Welcome to Rpz Spring Page

New server is running for the host now! 350 dollars got a screaming machine from Fry's. A refirbed compaq, not bad either. Funny, so Gary and I took about 2 hours Sunday night to get the thing downgraded to XP, as Vista is horrible. I then load spring, springie, etc.. I start up the battle lobby and try to get a game going. Well I get this "Default Cursor" error and assume it was graphics related. So Gary and I run the 3D program to test it and sure enough it fails at some point in the test. But we notice that this graphics integerated board should work as it's on the list of GPU's that work with spring? I decided to not worry about it till I got back home, so tonight I open it up and put in the Nvidia 5500 from the old host. Boot it up and XP crashes, so I call the XP expert (Gary) and he informs me that you can't switch like that so he explains how to get it working. So I finally get the new board working (1-2 hours) and try to run spring. Same error!!! Hmmm, so I decide to look it up on the main spring site, and come to find out it's not a GPU error its a "you didn't download" content error. :)... So now I have to decide to undo what I did or just leave it as is, well Gary informs me that the internal GPU will probably be faster so I should change it out. With the 5500 GPU installed, I got about 30 FPS, with the system back to the onboard Intel 950 GPU I got 50-60 FPS. AMAZING. Gary thanks for your help. Don thanks for testing it with me, and learning some more ...
Next I installed CA Updater Here make sure to open the port on your router to get all the benfit of this neat little program. It will download all the maps for you in the background. Now that I have it running on the sever, the server should have all the maps we could ever want.

Here you can get the latest Maps/Mods for Spring. You can also download the latest Winblows ver here. I will try to keep this page updated with the maps and mods that are currently being hosted on "Rpzautohost" on the battle channel, this way if you join up we will have a known resource for getting files.
Ok fixed the page kinda, the server has been updated with a bunch more maps. We had an epic battle last night between Mayree/Gmoe/Rp3 it was great. I got over run by hoovercraft :(...
Probably will get a new server today for the host, since he barely runs what he needs to run, should be up tonight. 329 or 349 at Fry's for a refribed unit, should work just fine. :)
Have lots of ideas for making the download page better, will take some time, but i look for an autogenerated page, so it would keep it self up to date. Have lots of learning to do first though, need to get going on Python, which will help with this task...
Lets play...
