#10546: Compiling

by danieltheslayer on 05/20/2008 19:47

I compiled the source with Code::Blocks and everything went fine. I followed the instructions as the wiki said. But, when I made the newly compiled release into a bach filet (by typing .bat), I need to move all the dlls into that directory. Then odd stuff happened when I was testing the singleplayer game. The monsters run animation didn\\\\\\\'t always show, and sometimes they were jumping and /not/ coming back down until I shot them or they spotted me. Is this normal or did I do something worng? All I did to the source was change weapon ammo/damage and the creature\\\\\\\'s stats.

I'm not quite following what you did when you say you made the compiled release into a batch file. You don't rename the EXE to a BAT, and the EXE should be in the "bin\" directory along with the DLL files, you don't move the DLL's. The BAT is executed from the Sauerbraten directory.

The animation problem is a known issue with the version of GCC bundled with the stable release of Code::Blocks' MingW. Either use MSVC, or upgrade the MingW files in your Code::Blocks install.

As for the rest, you should probably understand what you're doing a bit more before changing values in the source code. I can't say what exactly is wrong, because I don't know what you changed, and we don't exactly provide support for modifications that you make.

Please revert your source back to the original and build it again to see if it still happens. I understand people like to experiment and play with the code, but when you change the source you're accepting sole responsibility for any undesired results.

I said, all I did was change the ammo max, ammo pick ups, weapon damage, and crature health and loyalties. pretty much things that don\'t affect the game much. I\'ll update my MinGW for Code::Blocks and recompile and see what happens.

If ATI Catalyst Control Center starts (which I assume because they are actually able to change the settings), the driver is installed correctly.

no no and NO

it could be the open gl driver did not install or there is conflict with a dll or in the registry uninstall both the drivers and the card its self via the add and remove programs and the "device manger under the display tab"
REBOOT

and install the drivers again then REBOOT
that should correct the error
this used the happen once in a while with my old ATI 9600/xt
make sure you download the drivers before you go uninstalling and rebooting ect

but don't run the installer untill you have rebooted

#10554: google ads experiment

by Aardappel_ on 05/21/2008 21:52

so I ran google ads on this site for nearly 3 weeks... just to see what a high traffic site like this would bring in.

As it turns out, it averaged only $1.50 a day (maybe also because the ads weren't very relevant), but certainly not nearly enough to bother visitors with ads for :)

So seems like you need really insane traffic before google ads are worth it... I guess 6 million visitors requesting 13 million pages is peanuts :)

So they have been turned off... enjoy :)

You have to download and install libSDL: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

@Aard: I wonder how many in here did never see those ads due to Adblock, like myself. :)

the ads weren't targeted at people like you, but at the gazillion visitors from all the "free games" sites out there.

#10563: More Questions

by Titanic12ship on 05/23/2008 01:35

Hello, I wanted to know if there is a way to change the default map. (The map the game loads on startup.)

Also, can you change the default music? (not just for one map but for all maps.)

I saw those ads.

Also, I'd like to say that $1,5/day is very decent.
