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.

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.
