When i am compiling with MinGW the files gets twice as big as Visual Studio compiled ones, why is that? and how do i make them about the same size?

#10969: Help

Any help on .obj files??? How to load them?? The docs aren't providing enough info.

The Wavefront OBJ format is configured almost identically to how MD3s are used in Sauerbraten. The only differences are that OBJ specific commands are prefixed with "obj" instead of "md3" (i.e. "objskin" instead of "md3skin") which are specified in "obj.cfg" instead of "md3.cfg", it looks for "tris.obj" instead of "tris.md3" by default, and there is no support for animation ("objanim") or linking ("objlink"). Group names are used to identify meshes within the model.

Or in short, choose an existing md3 model, and start swapping out 'md3' for 'obj'. Magic.

well i changed all the "md3"s to "obj"s and loaded the mapmodel. All that happened was an ent box for it appeared. What am I doing wrong? Do you have to start with an md3 and then change it to an obj?

We could use some extra information, beyond just the symptoms. Reread http://sauerbraten.org/docs/models.html , and then post your cfg if you're still having problems. Be sure to mention what modeler you used too- it might be that you have an invalid file.

I didn't use a modeler. I used the "writeobj" command in Sauer.

Just tried to load an OBJ model myself, and it made me realize just how out-of-date the docs are... The MD3 model-loading commands aren't in there either! :(

...

I was looking for something like that for quite some time...
It'd probably be a good idea to link to that somewhere... I grepped the docs for "models.html" and got three relevant results: two non-link mentions in history.html and one non-link mention in the Blender animated MD3 export how-to in the static wiki.

Apparently the online main page is a little outdated. The readme in the sauerbraten directory links to it.

#10977: Rotating models.

by jockmo47 on 07/20/2008 10:33

I can\'t figure out how to rotate a model in a direction other than the default axis. Basically, instead of the chair spinning in circles, I want to flip it upside down. How can I do this?

You can't - it only spins on the Z axis

I STILL can't load the mapmodel. What am I doing wrong??? I changed everything that was md3 to obj and it still won't load!

#10980: Unichrome vs. Sauerbraten

by cadde on 07/20/2008 18:58

Hi!

I got a problem running sauerbraten on my notebook, think its beacause of that damn S3/unichrome Pro IGP card.

I can start the game, but my weapons are shown broken, when it comes to a fight with monsters my system brakes down and I have to restart windows.

Could anybody please tell me, what I can do to fix this, and by the way, I'm not good in DOS.

A before I forget:

It's Windows XP SP2
videocard: S3 Unichrome pro IGP 64mb ram

thx a lot

cadde

#10983: Rendering sprites

by SSG on 07/21/2008 15:02

I have a need to render sprites using the Sauerbraten engine. These sprites would move around just as any model would. But I can't use a model as a sprite (ie. a texture mapped quad) because I need to animate it which would involve changing the texture all the time. Is there any existing functionality that might achieve this? Or might one have an idea how this could be done?

In replying, please assume I'm reasonably clued up on C++, but a complete Sauerbraten and OpenGL noob.

#10984: car racing using Sauerbraten engine?

by rafale_05 on 07/21/2008 15:31

just a few days ago my lecturer asking me to develop a racing game using Sauerbraten engine.....

i know that Sauerbraten are used for fps.. but can it actually used to develop a racing game?

Yes. There was once a cart project in Sauermod, if I remember correctly, with a semi-playable demo. You could always look it up and get your ideas from there.

Write a shader that swaps the textures on the texture mapped quad
