#10607: Re: DDS texture and DXTC support..

by jbuk2k7s cookie has gone on 06/02/2008 23:16, refers to #10606

How is using DDS going to improve visual quality? We already have support for PNG and can increase texture resolution almost limitlessly (although it is a bit costly).

#10610: Re: Scripted NPC characters in Sauerbraten?

by rknigh21 on 06/03/2008 20:11, refers to #10603

Hi

You can use the aiclip material to restrict the movements of monsters, and provided they have room to move around that makes them seem quite a bit more “intelligent”, especially with carfull map layout ( see my game the DAM which is a large outdoor sp game see http://www.quadropolis.us/node/1264
).

You can bind a key to launch a menu that is scripted in the cfg file. Also mapmodels can trigger functions in the cfg that do various things. Like start a platform/elevator moving, open doors, pickups, open a menu, etc. These can be combined to allow the player some interaction with the game world.

Platforms (carrying monsters) and teleports can be combined to make a neat monster machine that drops monsters into the players current area.

This takes a bit of work in cube script.

I am working on a map combining all these effects if anyone is interested I will put a demo on quodropolis.

Regards Robin

#10612: Sauerbraten is stuck in Fullscreen!

by Shale on 06/04/2008 02:47

I want to make Sauer windowed.
I uncheck the FS option in the menu.
It tells me I need to use /t.
So I type /t.
Nothing happens.
Any suggestions?

by Hirato Kirata on 06/04/2008 03:18, refers to #10612

it's far more like to say -t, and that's what you're meant to use when you start it up.

I'm assuming you're on windows, so jsut go to the sauerbraten directory and open the start up script with notepad, and add a -t in there somewhere

still don't know what I'm talking about, then I'm not the one to help you.. but I think you'll find the situation is much improved in CVS, and definitely the next release

I doubt you'd want to, because using a mouse to aim is a lot easier. I'm not sure if you can hook up xbox 360 controllers to your computer, but if you can I think there's a joystick mod on quadropolis.

#10616: ..

by SheeEttin on 06/04/2008 23:34

Not sure if this is a problem with Sauer or not (I did some major messing with my X server recently) so I'm posting it here...

I have an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro.
Since yesterday, whenever I start up Sauerbraten, I get this:
http://i31.tinypic.com/10f5a53.png

It appears to me that somewhere, all but one part (pixel?) of the texture is being discarded, and that's being used for the whole thing. This applies to all maps.
As you can (kind of) see, models are all black, and the playermodel (at least mrfixit) is invisible. (hudguns and vweaps are still visible.)

The only startup message that I can see that's odd is a complaint about not having a vertex_buffer_object extension, which apparently is important.

Everything works if I use -f0 (everything that normally works in -f0, anyway). Also, when I use -f0, I get a warning about using the ATI texgen bug workaround.

Additionally, glxinfo | grep direct returns "direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)", though everything else claims direct rendering is working. (I also don't know what to do after setting LIBGL_DEBUG, so I can't try that path).

I've tried reinstalling/upgrading my graphics driver (fglrx), reinstalling Mesa packages, and a few other things, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Renderer: Radeon X1600 Series (ATI Technologies Inc.)
Driver: 1.4 (2.1.7537 Release)

This matches the driver I have installed.

Problem solved. Looks like even though I did "make uninstall" for everything I was messing with, some OpenGL libraries got left in /usr/local/lib (when the ones it needed were in /usr/lib).

#10619: Breaking off a copy of the CVS branch

by toughmccuddllo on 06/05/2008 21:58

How do I make a copy of the Sauerbraten CVS directory without copying all the CVS directories inside, with it.

In time I would like to create a total conversion of Sauerbraten.

I am not all that versed with CVS though.

Thanks

or..

cp -R sauer mymod
cd mymod
find ./ -name "CVS" -exec rm -r {} \;

I think it's a less complicated, if only a little :P

You can install MinGW/MSYS on your Windows OS to finally have an enviroment that empowers you to actually use your computer to automate repetitive tasks .. if you try to do that in Windows BATCH-files ... good luck ;-)
