@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).

#11008: Q: About a command

by drebenK on 07/25/2008 16:00

Hey guys what was the command that allows me to edit an entety? I mean I typed a command with which I was able to put the numbers for map model and the HP for the barrel but I forgot it.
So can anybody type me that command?

@SheeEttin thanks mate it was this part:

/entset type value1 value2 value3 value4


BTW is there a way to rotate the mapmodels or ents acording to the Y or Z axis? Right now when I put a model or an ent I can only rotate it acording the X axis (with holding R and the mouse scroll). No matter which side I select with the mouse when I rotate the model it only rotates acording to the X axis so is there a way to rotate it acording the other two axis?

Use the "PERIOD" key. Or editbind some other key with selentedit.

This will open the command line with /entset + the values of the selected ent. So you don't have to rewrite all the values.

#11012: Re: .. rotating mapmodels

by steve_e on 07/26/2008 05:52, refers to #11010

You would need to write a .cfg for the model that changes its mdlpitch and/or mdlyaw so it is not something you can dynamically change in game.

by drebenK on 07/26/2008 13:47

@Osbios yeeees that was the key the "Period" thanks mate.

@steve_e so you are saying that if I want to rotate an object acording to the Z or Y axis I need to make a cfg file and put some text for each model in it?

OK I have another two questions. On the picture from the link there are some textures that I don't get when I run the editor and open my map.

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/9387/texturesjr2.jpg

These are textures from the RPG maps. They have corners for grass and roads. So whot do I need to do to add them to the textures that I'm using in my map? Because in the RPG map when I press F2 there are only 4 pages of textures and in my map there are 11 pages with textures.

And the other question is related to the fact that each time I enter and exit edit mode the barrles that I put on my map are being placed in slightly different position than the original position. So I need to enter and exit edit mode several times in order for them to be placed back in their original position. Is there a special way to put barrels or boxes so that the are being placed at their original position no matter how often I enter and exit edit mode?

#11014: Re: .. 11081

by steve_e on 07/26/2008 14:01, refers to #11013

Yes, you will need to make a sub folder and place a mapmodel .cfg in that folder altering the pitch/yaw of the original mapmodel.

Take a look at Sauerbraten\packages\models\steve_e\doors\trapdoor to see how I have re-used the mapmodel's .md3 in various sizes by specifying a different .cfg. You would do something similar except change the model's pitch and/or yaw.

With the barrels (same with boxes and at times with platforms) they seem to be exceedingly difficult to place accurately as the physics of these entities appears to make them land on load a little differently each time and therefore can not be placed with a degree of surety like a mapmodel...

This can be a real problem as often I have found barrels and platforms have actually escaped and fallen through/outside the map on load - triggering a platform that is floating somewhere out of the map is of little use! So, I do not think there is actually a workable solution to this problem from a map editing perspective - if there is I would really like to know myself!
