Heh, actually I didn't notice. Had this mixed up with another thread because I never bothered to go back in the post history.

45$ in one month. And how much do the site cost in one month?
I never understand people who actually click on ads. 0_o

Well I didn't notice it anyway...

Yeah, that's why statistics about AdBlock-Users and -Non-Users would be interesting. :)

#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.

OK I read what it said to do to load a map on startup but that didn't work. It said to type "-1S" in the advanced options box the "S" being the name of the level, so I did, but when I started the game up, it didn't load the map.

And I still need to know how to change the default music.

dude, it's a lower case L, not a 1 (one)

anyways the music... you'll find the playasong alias in default_map_settings.cfg

feel free to modify it, the following is the one I made for sandbox, it's just an example of how you can change it.

setsong = [
if (= $arg1 0) [
music Artificial-World nextsong
] [
if (= $arg1 1) [
music Home nextsong
] [
if (= $arg1 2) [
music Sense-of-Happiness nextsong
] [
if (= $arg1 3) [
music Last-Flight nextsong
] [
if ( = $arg1 4) [
music Transition nextsong
] [
music traveling_minstrels nextsong
]
]
]
]
]
]

playasong = [setsong (rnd 6)]

Your distro probably has packages for the SDL dev libraries. Just search "lib", "sdl", and "dev" (or a combination thereof).

Thanks for your help.

I have a couple more questions:

1. I made a song in Apple's Garageband and would like to know if there was a way to convert the song file (.band) to a format that Sauerbraten would understand. (.ogg)

2. What is the best program to make hudguns with?

#10571: Re: Read the Docs, please

by MovingTarget on 05/23/2008 23:30, refers to #10570

1) I have no experience whatever with Mac, but found through quick Google searching (which you should do from now on) that GB can export to AIFF, which you should be able to convert to ogg with some tool or other.
2) There is no "best program" to model hudguns with. Those of us with a large budget go for 3DS Max, Maya, and the like. Those of us who have a very limited budget go with Blender. Pretty much all of the major 3D suites can export to the required formats, so it's really your choice. However, Blender's UI has quite a learning curve, so if you choose it, be prepared to learn a good bit before you can begin modeling.

I wonder is it possible to have map-related aliases to not bloat up config.cfg ?

#10573: cannot override persistent variable

by Garth on 05/26/2008 15:28

Hi again!
I would like to put some variables in my map.cfg because i want to charge my map with this different setting but not otherwise.
Like for example :
hidehud 1 added to mymap.cfg.
But when I launch it I have
"cannot override persistent variable hidehud" message.
Is there someone who have a clue for me to make it work?
or it is not possible at all..?
thanks!

Check the portal (like) maps on Quadropolis, last I checked they used a menu to prompt the user to set binds up for playing the level.

#10575: Re: cannot override persistent variable

by tentus_ on 05/27/2008 08:24, refers to #10574

Yep, I made very certain that the user got an explicate chance to agree before I rewrote the binds. I also made sure to include a trigger at the end that would put them back to the "vanilla" binds.

Generally speaking people get riled when you play with their configurations, we're creatures of habit and like to do things the way we're most used to. See all the recent discussion about joystick support.

#10576: Re: cannot override persistent variable

by tman_elite on 05/28/2008 05:12, refers to #10575

I played the "portal" map. It was pretty good, but the first time I played it I got bored and decided to play something else (I'm not a very patient person...) and my binds were messed up. I had to go back to the level and go to the end to get them back.

I realize there's not a better way to do it though.

#10577: Problem with texture

by N!ghtmare on 05/28/2008 12:03

I just replaced the health model with a custom model that i made.I followed the tutorial on this site.Everything goes fine and the model loads and show ingame but problem is that texture is all messed up.I think it has a wrong scale or smth but in maya and milkshape texture is on the right place.
this is my config file:
md3load tris.md3
md3skin Cylinder ./realistic.jpg
mdlscale 1000
mdlspec -1

I wonder if somebody can help me
thanks in advance

#10578: Re: Problem with texture

by Hirato Kirata on 05/28/2008 13:15, refers to #10577

is the similar to the crosshair in appearance? and what's the name of the model/mesh in whatever you used to model it?

#10579: Re: Problem with texture

by JadeMatrix on 05/28/2008 14:23, refers to #10577

Are you actually typing

md3skin Cylinder ./realistic.jpg

?

One, never use capitals in Cubescript. Plus, the directory should be

healthboost/realistic.jpg

or summat. Just duplicate the existing file, making the necessary changes.
