#10987: Working on CTF maps

by Kretren on 07/21/2008 22:19

I'm making a CTF (mostly insta ctf) map and I was wondering 2 things: First of all, can I copy lights, mapmodels, jumppads, etc in addition to blocks/cubes (in other words, copy an entire building and when I put the copy elsewhere the lighting and everything is in the new building as well).

Secondly, I'm wondering about playerstarts. If I put them in certain spots on the map, they're accessable to both teams, right? Meaning, if I put a playerstart directly in the base where the flag is, an opponent could spawn there and take it immediately. What could I do to prevent this?

Copying: Yes. By default pressing N while selecting some cubes will add all the entities within to the selection, ready for copying.

Playerstarts: Yes and no. http://sauerbraten.org/docs/editref.html#_playerstart_ If you have playerstart 180 0 in your base, anyone can spawn there, facing 180 degrees... except in CTF/instaCTF. In CTF players either start on playerstart 180 1 or playerstart 180 2 (180 being whatever it needs to be on an individual basis). These playerstarts will not (as of the time of this writing) be used in any other gamemode.

#10990: Q: How to make explosive barel?

by drebenK on 07/22/2008 17:01

OK I\'m prety new to the Cube engine. So I saw that there are barels that explode in some of the maps. When I make a map and put a barel in it and when I shoot at the barel it won\'t explode. So how do you make the barel explode? I didn\'t saw any properties for the models or anything like that.

One other question that bothers me is why is there no texture brush? I mean right now if I want to put a texture I have to select an area (and you can only can make suqre or rectangular selections) and after I make my selection I press and hold Y and then I have to scroll for my texture. But the problem with this is that you can\'t make oval or cirle texture painting. So if I want to make a circle grass field I just can\'t. So is there a way the textures to be painted on the terain instead of applying them on a selection (every map editor has a way to paint the textures with a brush I\' just wondering is there such way to paint textures in Cube 2).

No texture brush, but you can press F2 to bring up a GUI containing all textures.

And the engine's not called 'circle' is it? Try making your maps with relatively square shapes and then flesh it out with more deatil.

You need to be in SP mode for barrels to explode - also, depending on their sensitivity you may need to shoot them several times before they blow up.

Yes, but I presume that he was making mapmodels rather than actual barrel ents, so I pointed to the docs for barrel ents.

@jbuk2k7s yep I was putting mapmodels and then I saw that they have to be ents. ^^
Too bad for the brush though cuz with a brush is easier to paint textures on the terrain. Like grass, rocks, dirt etc.

#10998: Q: Why is my Heightmap brush not working?

by drebenK on 07/23/2008 13:44

Sry for the double post but there is no Edit msg thing on the forums.
So my problem is that when I press H the heightmap thing is not working. It's strange since it worked fine till yesterday. Now I open my map with /map mapname. I press the H key so that the square becomes green. I select a brush with the B+scroll mouse wheel but when I start to scroll the wheel on the map the terrain stais flat there is no transformation. What am I doing wrong?

tr /bypassheightmapcheck 1, the gridszie is probably incorrect

Hi,

I just logged on to Sauerbraten today and my cursor seems to have vanished. So has the chat screen. I wasn't messing around with the preferences, so I don't know how to get these back.

Help? Thanks!

#11003: ctf edition's config.cfg file nowhere to be found (ubuntu)

by mice on 07/23/2008 22:31

i just downloaded the tar.bz2 file from the sauerbraten website, unpacked and played for a bit... but when i exited, i couldn't find the config.cfg file anywhere (apparently it's not even on my hard disk).

now, i'm not too linux savvy, but i know enough about sauerbraten, and the config.cfg file should be in the 'data' folder. when i relaunch sauerbraten, my settings are saved, but theres still no config file

You shouldn't be editing it anyway.

Put anything you want to change in the config in autoexec.cfg instead (in ~/.sauerbraten also).
