#10901: Re: mapcfg binds

by SheeEttin on 07/12/2008 18:02, refers to #10898

Pop up a GUI at the map start that suggests the player bind your command to a key.
You don't just want to blindly write over whatever they have bound to Q. They might enjoy playing Q-caps lock-A-S instead of WASD, and that would be very bad.

Correct. Look at the Portal maps on Quadropolis for examples of how the mappers needed to make some rebinds, and asked permission from the player to do so. Be sure to have a way for the player to go back to their old binds (or the defaults) at the end of the level or something.

#10903: quick questions

by jzman3 on 07/12/2008 20:53

Ive got three questions.

1. How can i post a message on the HUD console and let the player post a reply.

2. When the player falls off a cliff or makes a large jump, is there any way i can take away some health.

3. If possible is there any way i can implement god rays into the game. Here is an example. http://www.seekgodfirst.net/bigstockphoto_Rays_Of_The_Sun_73840.jpg

Thanks.

That's definitely my favorite type of error.

1. Source modifications. You'll have to figure this out for yourself (not because I'm mean, because I don't know.)

2. See 1.

3. Your best bet is a translucent mapmodel (is that possible?). Make a simple trapezoidal model, a nice sunbeamy skin, and transparency. (I don't know if this is possible, but that's how I'd do it.)

#10906: Re: quick questions

by jzman3 on 07/13/2008 03:31, refers to #10905

Thanks. I will try that. If any knows the game engines source, i have found where i can subtract the health. In engine\physics.cpp line 1285 i can add some code like this : PlayerHealth = PlayerHealth - 1; But i dont know the varible that effects the players health.

Work backwards. Find somewhere you know the health is being referenced (e.g. health boosts, pickups, HUD drawing) and work from there.

#10908: Scripting a cube change?

by Mr. M on 07/13/2008 05:18

I was curious if there was any known way to script a cube change. An example: Player A uses object B. A cube deformation happens at location C, such as a cube being raised, changed in texture, etc...

Basically I\'m looking for a method to allow scripted building of \'objects\' in the game without allowing full blown editing of the map.

Any ideas?

P.S. I did take a look around the forums, but I wasn\'t able to find an answer, even if it is there...

#10909: ..

by Osbios on 07/13/2008 08:18

@Mr. M:
This is not really the case. You can't script random changes on the map. And even if you could the problem of destroyed lightmaps and no longer optimized geometry will hunt you down.

So its not possible right now.

#10910: Mac Server

by Floppy on 07/13/2008 19:06

Hello,

I am running Mac OS X 10.5 and want to make a server. I have searched the web for guides but have found nothing on how to do it on a mac.

Could someone point me to a guide or tell me.

Thanks,

Floppy

Start the Sauerbraten Launcher. Select the "Server" Tab. Enter a name and other variables. Hit "Start". Done.

Make sure you forward (or trigger) ports 28765 and 28766 from your Router to your Mac. This is done in the Settings of the Router.

#10914: Where are the SDL frameworks?

by Titanic12ship on 07/13/2008 23:03

Hello, I have had this question for awhile now:

To compile and play Sauerbrten's CVS, you need SDL frameworks, but the releases don't include these. So why does CVS require them and releases don't, or are they just hidden somewhere?
