That only exports. There is no import, except for .CGZ's, Cube's map files.

And, the whole purpose of the Cube and Cube 2 engines is so that all of the map editing can be done, in real time, in the game without the lengthy compiles etc needed by other engines.

If you really need something more detailed, use mapmodels. Search the forum for a tutorial on them.

hi, i have a question maybe one of you can help me: in the old Sauer everything worked just fine for me, and now with the same computer and same sound drivers, Sauer Assassin does not detect my card properly.

the error in the bat file is: sound init failed <SDL_mixer>: DirectSoundCreate: No audio device found

any ideas ?

here's some details about my soundcard if this helps.. <a href=\\\"http://imagecloset.com/view10/aa172bb4e7fd487bc91074cb52af6923/ScreenShot_008%2021-Mar-08%2021.21.jpg\\\"><img src=\\\"http://imagecloset.com/10/aa172bb4e7fd487bc91074cb52af6923/ScreenShot_008%2021-Mar-08%2021.21_thumb.gif\\\" border=\\\"0\\\" /></a>

#10275: Possible New Player Model for Sauerbraten

by freegamer on 03/22/2008 22:58

Modeller 'Julius' is creating a good looking player model for FPS games and it will be licensed using an appropriate open source license (CC-by-SA maybe). The model will be MD5 compatable (I guess exportable to MD5).

WIP + more information + screenshots here:
http://forum.freegamedev.net/index.php?t=msg&th=852

Best screenshot so far is in the 6th post of that thread.

Don't get your hopes to high though... I am notorious for never finishing anything :(

And I guess something made specifically for Sauerbraten would fit it's "style" a lot better ;)

You can't.

Flash is a 2D vector and raster graphic multimedia player. Not a 3D octree based game engine. The two are so fundamentally different in terms of design and concept that I wonder if something has been lost in translation. You want to be able to export Sauer to a .swf file, right?

What exactly are you looking to create? If you're shooting to create something like what Rasterwerks has accomplished, I hope you know what you're getting into. I know enough flash to be horrified by the very idea of the actionscipt required for that.

By the way, your site is... worrisome? I would not post a physical address online, nor would I make a site public that is still so unfinished. If you haven't filled out your faq page, as a web developer I strongly recommend that you hide the faq page. And generally, you don't want to say "we are two teenagers", say "we are two enterprising young men" or something. People just don't take teenagers seriously, which is unfortunate but irrevocable.

As far as I know, such engines are few and far between. Personally, every flash game I've ever contributed to or made myself was done from scratch or near-scratch. The closest thing that I know of to an open flashengine is the Fisix Engine, but it's not really a game engine... here's a link anyway:
http://www.fisixengine.com/

I suppose there is the zen bullets engine, http://www.zenbullets.com/isometric/ but i wasn't particularly impressed with it.

Just a hint x0220, the more grammatically correct your posts are, the more seriously you get taken. It's like the teenager thing, I'm not trying to talk down to you or anything, but that's how people are. Use complete sentences and people take you more seriously.

There is a difference between being bad at grammar, or not trying.

Personally, I do not take anyone seriously that does not TRY to use proper grammar. Even if you are horrible at it, you can still put some effort into making your posts readable or at least understandable. Capitalization might be useful there; if you don\'t use capitalization in a \'cry for help\' post, no-one is EVER going to help you out anywhere seriously. Period.

Another hint I might give you, is try to do some research yourself. Pretty much all flash games are 2d, and the ones that are 3d are either slow, or extremely complex (like what Rasterwerks has done). Really, though, playing/creating a 3d game that is playable through a browser is a no-no, ESPECIALLY if you\'re not very experienced with programming, or when you haven\'t been a part of any semi-large projects yourself.

(And should anyone want to know: I\'m not a native English speaker myself).

Now, to change subject a bit...

One part of Sauerbraten that I dislike myself is the license. Or rather, licenses. Many of the coremost gamedata isn\'t in a too well \'moddable\' license, which means that if anyone wants to make a mod of Sauer, they will need to redo or reimplement a lot of content. Is there perhaps any chance that the IronSnout can be licensed under a license that allows redistribution as part of something else (either an entirely different project, or a sauerbraten-derived project)? That would be really awesome indeed, although I ofcourse respect the authors of said data if they would rather not have something like that happening...

by MovingTarget on 03/25/2008 18:52, refers to #10287

The license of the core Sauerbraten stuff (gamecode, engine) is under one of the most un-restrictive licenses out there. The art is where the restrictive ones kick in. I agree though, IronSnout would be cool to distribute in your mod, until a better one can be made...
