#10751: Regarding heightmap

by SephoD_ on 06/24/2008 20:41

I was wondering if there is any way to use smaller gridsize to make heightmap, at the moment I am only able to use the original sized grid.

I know it would make the amount of vertices increase a lot, but if I could use one size smaller grid, then all terrain would look a lot better.

Also, I was wondering if one could make new brushes for the heightmap editor through a script, or if it would require hard programming.

The heightmap scales to your current gridpower. If you want a finer heightmap, reduce the gridpower (G + scroll wheel).

As for brushes, they are stored in data/brush.cfg. There are also some commands documented in there to create your own brushes in-game.

Thanks for your reply :)

If what you say is right, then I have no idea what is happening here...
If I reduce the gridpower and try to use the heightmap nothing happens...

Has anyone had that problem?

Same result here. I can only use the tool with gridpower > 2.

Hit H to turn on the heightmap, then use the scroll wheel to apply it. The more clicks you go in one direction, the deeper it is applied.

Hmm.
Just tested it myself. Same here.

This would be convenient to have fixed :)

But since I have started asking questions...

I was wondering, is there any way to use a bumpmap instead of normalmap and heightmap in the shaders?

If not, does anyone know how to make normalmap and heightmap out of a bumpmap?

by SheeEttin on 06/25/2008 02:24, refers to #10693

Just encountered this symptom myself, though I don't know if the cause was the same.

I was happily flying around, building a map, when the game drops to a very slow speed. I am confused for a few seconds, until it returns to normal speed. I did nothing to affect the gamespeed.
In the system log, I see this little line:

06/24/2008 06:15:44 PM sheeettin-kubuntu kernel [ 5895.929737] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 4686698527 ns)

For a computer, 4.7 seconds is a rather large leap...

#10761: Help! Server List Freezes Computer

by felty on 06/25/2008 05:40

Alright, so I updated Sauerbraten to CTF edition(Windows XP Media Center edition computer, ran Assasin Edition fine).

The game starts, and single player works perfectly. HOWEVER! I try to go to multiplayer, and it loads a big long list, and says \\\\\\\"Waiting For Reply from Server\\\\\\\" for all of the entries. After several seconds, my entire computer seems to freeze up, and I end up needing to use the power button to force it to reboot.

Help, please?

That's a good question. Why CAN'T you play? It's too bad you gave no information at all about what was stopping you from playing.

Tasty&Fresh is a cube2 server stealer, he lags people out, steals server, and bans all the people who were in it.
Kick him when you can.

While in the IRC channel for servers {QS1} and {QS2} which reports chat logs from the server, I saw Titanic12ship say he crashed some server. Maybe it's him?
