#10710: Assholes will be assholes?

by noerrorsfound(deletescookies) on 06/21/2008 11:47

Sauerbraten and Cube's players used to be pretty friendly ingame. I wanted a quick game of CTF before I went to bed so I went to The Conquerors server and as soon as I joined I'm shooting an enemy and get killed from behind. I didn't say anything about it and the player went off on me calling me a noob and saying something like he "should have expected to not be able to play on a public server without noobs." I tell him it wasn't my fault and I couldn't see he was behind me but he still insists I'm basically an idiot.

Since I was really too tired to play I decided that would be a good time to leave, so I killed the guy, acted like it was all his fault (Sound familiar?), and he threatened to ban me ("One more time and I'll ban you"), which made me laugh. After a few back-and-forth lines between us, I decided he wasn't going to ban me like I had desperately hoped for, and I left disappointed. He wasn't the master, by the way. He would have needed one vote since it's the TC server but I don't doubt there would have been another person dumb enough to vote for him.

What happened to Sauerbraten's well-mannered community? I played on the day of release and people were arguing then, too.

QuadAddict, if you're reading this, go play private matches if you can't stand anyone making mistakes or playing for fun. I seriously hope you're not at all related to TC clan because you don't represent them well.

Anyone else, sorry for the bitching. The player was just really rude and I'm not always in the mood to deal with that very politely.

#10711: Re: Image Map Support

by jbuk2k7s cookie has gone on 06/21/2008 14:11, refers to #10709

IIRC is supports all formats supported by sdl_image, so BMP, GIF, JPEG, LBM, PCX, PNG, PNM, TGA, TIFF, XCF, XPM and XV should all work in theory. PNG definitely works, though, so just use that.

In fact you didn't act much better by trying to "pay him back the same ways"!

No, if I had done it to someone who hadn't done it to me, it would have been as bad. It was simply "a taste of his own medicine" in this case. I knew someone would bring that up but it's a completely invalid point. It's like saying defending yourself in a fight is just as bad as starting the fight (known as the "Zero Tolerance" policy in American schools).

You can't keep it from being editable.

#10719: The new texrotate, texscale etc

by SephoD_ on 06/22/2008 13:13

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone could shine a light on how to use the new texture commands to rotate and scale a texture slot. Do I understand it correctly that I can now use the same texture slot to skin 2 sides of a cube with differently scaled and rotated texture?

I have been reading through the manuals and all I have found was just the comments in the editing reference. It would be much apreciated if anyone could tell me how to use those commands, and if you tell me to RTFM then could you point me to where i can find it :)

#10720: In-game scale models

by noerrorsfound(deletescookies) on 06/22/2008 13:37

Is it a dumb idea to plan out a map's design using very small cubes to make a scale model in-game? This is just a random thought I came up with while playing with the editor and failing to make anything useful.

#10726: Re: how do i chang wut button u use to zoom in on the sniper

by JadeMatrix on 06/23/2008 15:41, refers to #10707

Simple: don't use the Mac MightyMouse. It's designed for internet browsing, and sucks for games (BTW it does have a right-click, as well as a side-click).

I use a MacAlly Icemouse Jr.
http://www.macally.com/EN/Product/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=154
$20, and made for Mac. It's tiny, so you barely notice you're using a mouse. I would suggest not installing the drivers, though.

#10728: Admins and Masters

Does anyone know what the difference between an admin and a master is?

#10729: Re: JadeMatrix

by Osbios on 06/23/2008 19:04

@JadeMatrix:
This mini mouses are not very good for use over long time. You don't play Sauerbraten only 5 Min/day, do you?

I also advise a mouse for the "right" hand. Search for something ergonomically that fits in your hand.
I don't know much about mac, but cant you use "normal" USB mouses with it? So you wont be limited to mac specific mouses (and perhaps prices)?
