I just noticed there's a song by the thrash-metal band Sepultura called "Ratamahatta". Sound familiar to anyone?

Hi,
after all those exciting screenshots i downloaded sauerbraten - and guess what: it doesn't start (i've got the newest (K)ubuntu, intel cpu and nvidia 8600) check this out:

#10252: Re: Shader Help?

by demosthenes on 03/15/2008 23:06, refers to #10233

Hey, would still appreciate a little help with a shader, as mentioned in post #10285.

:)

I seriously need to learn shaders myself. I'm working on GLSL, but I'm assuming you're working in ARB. I still can't figure out what glsltest does yet though :-)

#10254: Texture Quality

by jjsailors on 03/16/2008 02:02

Hey--in an earlier version of Sauerbraten I made a map that includes textures that look like advertisements (trying to make things look a little more life-like with ads for energy drinks, etc).

In that version, the text in the "ad" showed up fine when I played, but since upgrading to the newest version, the text is quite blurry and now it can't really be read.

Any ideas on what I might be able to do to sharpen it up?

Even some help on the largest size/resolution jpg that can be used as a texture would be helpful.

Thanks much!

#10255: Re: Shader Help?

by demosthenes on 03/16/2008 02:31, refers to #10253

Yeah, working in ARB. The problem is that I have something that *should* work, but it doesn't. I can't get anything inside the copied bloom shaders to turn stuff green, unfortunately.

bah - using latest cvs...

to the final 3rd of the shader added commented lines
....

])
MUL bloom.rb, bloom, 0.5; // less red and blue
MOV sample.rb, 0; //green only
MAD result.color, bloom, program.env[0].x, sample;

Thank you!

I now galumph off to see if that works as I wish it to, and modify if it does not. :)

#10258: Re: Shader Help?

by demosthenes on 03/16/2008 05:58, refers to #10256

That worked, though I tweaked the multiplication all the way down to 0.1, 'cause too much color was still getting in. I wish I could exclude rb values in that where the g value is greater than or equal to the rb value, but this works well enough.

With that modification, a bloom of 200 gives approximately the feel I was looking for. Thanks again! :)

#10259: scripting seems very touchy to formatting...

by SwissCheese on 03/16/2008 13:55

Seems like you have to make sure you get the '[' ']' placement right or your scripts/binds will fail. Almost like the software doesn't like carriage-returns/line-feeds in certain places. At least for me on Ubuntu Linux using mousepad.

doesn't work:

if ( some comparison)
[
code

#10260: Can the cube 2 engine be scripted to run an rts game

by Grimreaper1050 on 03/17/2008 01:13

Can the basic mechanics of the game be changed, so that the fps style shooting will be replaced by the large-scale warefare. Mostly will the ai be able to transition for the small scale indivdual shooting to large tactics such as Flanking, ambushes, and such.
Will you please supply me with the answer.

#10261: Re: Can the cube 2 engine be scripted to run an rts game

by MovingTarget on 03/17/2008 01:27, refers to #10260

You can do pretty much anything with the Cube 2 Engine (it's an engine, *not* a game). While making those kinds of modifications will be extremely difficult, it is possible.

#10262: Calling the Engine form an External Lib?

by bigsofty on 03/17/2008 01:37

Hi,

I would like to use the engine with a different language. Is it possible to compile it into a linkable fileformat, ala DLL, .so, etc...?

Many thanks for any info,


Ian

#10263: Re: Calling the Engine form an External Lib?

by MovingTarget on 03/17/2008 02:35, refers to #10262

Yes, it's possible. If you were going to use just the engine, and not Sauerbraten, you'd need to remove all fpsgame and rpggame files from the project, but after that, just change the build target to a shared library instead of a console application (I think).
