Spring RTS game engine VS etlegacy

Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X.

springrts: Designed for 3D rts games. May be worth looking into if that's what you're making. The site is kind of lack luster so I didn't do too much digging around.

...or Total Annihilation Spring, nowadays known as Spring RTS: https://springrts.com/

My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

Obligatory mention of another open source RTS engine (lineage tracing back to the original Total Annihilation): https://springrts.com/

Non-OSS Engine?

Total Annihilation for sure, the spiritual successor Supreme Commander is great but a bit too different for me. There's an open source recreation that's a bit rough to learn at first, but it's my favorite game of all time called Spring RTS. https://springrts.com/

The other thing is that if you're going to make an engine focused on rts games, you should probably study an existing RTS-focused engine. For example, here's the source code for Spring. Learn what it does, why, and how. You might decide this is good enough for what you want to do. You might decide this is pretty close, and you'll only want to extend it rather than start from scratch. You might decide to still start from scratch, but at least you learned something about requirements/ methods/ etc.

Pretty much any game on the Spring Engine (which Zero-K is on) will work on Linux.

You could try Dirty Bomb or the classic Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for some class-based objective shooters. Both are free to play.

ET Legacy Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, FOSS client. Maybe moot since an official client re-released on Steam recently.

It doesn't replace any server, it's a new one on Legacy mod - https://www.etlegacy.com/

Look up ETLegacy some nice guys from the old scene have basically remastered it - hd graphics updated sounds etc. All things in one place!

ET: Legacy

Have you tried using ET Legacy? www.etlegacy.com It's basically the same ET client, but updated to current standards.

As you pointed you need source code that can be found here: https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy

Off topic, but if it was Wolfenstein ET I will just add that there still is a community for it and a Foss version of it that runs on modern operating systems
