#10290: Re: HELP NEEDED big time!!!

by Julius on 03/25/2008 22:13, refers to #10287

"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..."

Restrictive art licenses are actually a if not the core problem of open-source game projects since quite some time.
It's getting a bit better lately but there are still way to many unfree projects out there :(

That map is in an older version of Sauer- 06 or so. Go onto the sourceforge site and download it, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding the textures in the Packages file.

#10298: Specular Map Problems

by Xannin. on 03/27/2008 07:33

Hey, I'm having problems getting a specular map I've created to work. When I load it up in game, it seems to have no effect on the specularity of the texture. It is just as shiny as if I used an all white spec map.
This is how I have it defined in the cfg:

setshader bumpspecmapparallaxworld

texture 0 xannin/pillar_0.png 0 0 0 .0625
texture n xannin/pillar_n.png 0 0 0 .0625
texture s xannin/pillar_s.jpeg 0 0 0 .0625
texture z xannin/pillar_z.png 0 0 0 .0625

Is there something wrong with my cfg or am I just completely missing something?

Thanks

by Hirato Kirata on 03/27/2008 09:48, refers to #10298

you can try to raise the scale for one, setting it to such a low value will make it extremely small. and no, you're NOT missing anything. but you have to keep in mind, that you need to calculate lightmaps before it's even visible.

so can you type /calclight 3, and increase the scale to say 0.25 instead of keeping it at 0.0625

by Xannin. on 03/27/2008 19:47, refers to #10299

The scale is so small because I was testing to see how much of a performance loss you get from textures (512x512) when put on a small sized cube.

I rewrote the cfg and got it to work, so I'm guessing I had mistyped the name of the texture or something like that.

Thanks for the help.

I kinda feel like I'm violating the unspoken "nothing productive to say, don't say anything" rule, but eh.

Guess what? You can compile the Sauer engine as an exe (gasp!) and sell it too! Without having to spend any money! It's a revolution in economics!

*serious now*
If you take a look at it in terms of paying for what you get, Sauer's got FPS creator trumped in almost every regard (being free carries a lot of weight in these kind of equations). The fact of the matter is, if you're willing to spend the same money they're asking for, you'll be able to get a lot more out of the Sauer community. There's a lot of content that can be used for commercial use if you just take the time to ask the author, and in situations where the content doesn't already exist, it'd be pretty easy to hire some of us. Heck, for 20 USD I'd spend an afternoon making you some models, tailored to your specific wants. I can't speak for dot3labs' prices, but from what I understand it's pretty reasonable, and they'll make the engine work specifically how you need it to.

OK, enough blathering from me.

#10305: Sauerbraten - "could not find core textures"

by ej159 on 03/28/2008 13:24

I just ran the patch-2007-12-27_win32_setup to update Sauerbraten and now it doesn't work giving a dialog box saying "could not find core textures" and I get this with it:

"init: sdl
init: enet
init: video: mode
init: video: misc
init: gl
Renderer: RADEON X850 XT x86 (ATI Technologies Inc.)
Driver: 2.0.6956 WinXP Release
WARNING: ATI cards may show garbage in skybox. (use "/ati_skybox_bug 1" to fix)
Rendering using the OpenGL 1.5 GLSL shader path.
WARNING: Non-power-of-two textures not supported!
could not load texture data\notexture.png
could not find core textures"

It worked perfectly before I tried to patch it. I'm running windows xp pro x64 and have an Ati X850.

What can I do to fix it?

Thanks

Don't run sauerbraten.exe in the BIN folder.
Run the .bat file in the 'root' Sauerbraten folder.

Run the 'sauerbraten.bat' file in the main Sauerbraten directory.

(What that error actually means is that the exe is being run inside the 'bin' subdirectory instead of in the the root Sauerbraten directory.)
