#11032: The game runs slow, tried to solve with the FAQ

by cde_musix on 07/31/2008 14:33

Hi. I want to join again this fun and nice FPS, so I\'ve played the previous version (I think the GUI Edition) and the game is gone perfectly, with a resolution 1024x768 and a fps rate of 40-60 (no fancy visuals though, but i don\'t care about).
But now, when I\'ve downloaded the new version of Sauerbraten (CTF Editon) I\'ve had some problems. The FPS rate is under 1 and the game runs extremely slow, unplayable. I\'ve tried to down the resolution and some improvements, but the game still goes slow. Maybe I think it\'s a driver incompatibility that forces the game into the \"software driver emulation\" or something...
I have a Pentium 4 running @ 1,88 Ghz per second, with 1gb of RAM and an ATI Radeon 9250 with 128MB as graphics card.

#11034: rotating cube object

by scanf on 08/01/2008 05:00

Hi all,

I'm developing/experimenting with a couple of ideas. I've created my own ent class to add the new entities to the SB source. I'm having a problem rotating correctly. Specifically on the X axis.

I've looked through the source for an example but with no luck. Basically it would be like the weapon pickup's but not rotating on the Z axis but on the X. Currently I believe rotating on Z is something like so:

o.rotate_around_z(((yaw+ 90) )*RAD);
o.add(o);

The idea is to change the rotation so an object can roll at you.

Make sense? :) Thanks for the help.

#11035: Re: rotating cube object

by Quin on 08/01/2008 06:56, refers to #11034

vec::rotate_around_* is not for yaw/pitch/roll control, it allows calculating "circles". What you want is more like what is being done in fpsgame/entities.h:renderentities() which goes more like..

renderent(e, e.type, (float)(1+sin(cl.lastmillis/100.0+e.o.x+e.o.y)/20), cl.lastmillis/(e.attr2 ? 1.0f : 10.0f));

And when we check, that third parameter is controlling the yaw of the rendered model, so for say, the player, you could do something like...

player1->pitch = (float)(1+sin(lastmillis/100.0)/20);

.. to make him tumble around. That help?

#11036: ..

by scanf on 08/01/2008 07:20

Thanks Quin,

I think I over complected what I meant to say.

I you look at a weapon pick up on a map. It spins (via the Z rotate_around_z) which works nicely. I just want to rotate around Y. (lol I think I said X in my post). So the object would spin toward me and not to the side (like the ammo's). I guess a good example would be a wheel.

Quin that works perfectly. I found the issue I had the md3 model rotated in the md3.cfg so roll was pitch.

Thank you

#11044: RPG Specific object placement

by NerdFencer on 08/02/2008 21:53

When editing the RPG maps (-grpg %1 %2 %3 %4 %5) how do i place the rpg specific objects (Wolf Spawn, Grizzly Spawn, Healthpotion)???

#11045: Re: RPG Specific object placement

by tman_elite on 08/02/2008 23:29, refers to #11044

I'm pretty sure the command is
/newrpgspawn Name
where Name is whatever the thing is that you are making (wolf, npcman, etc.)

#11046: Setting up a server.

by R0b0t1 on 08/03/2008 03:30

(I know this is probably in here, but I really don't want to look. If you've posted the solution before, and would link me to it, thank you.)

I'm on Ubuntu Linux and have a Linksys modem. I've gone to the 'setup modem' page and told it to forward the correct ports, but when running the shell script with the argument '-d' it says it cannot respond to the master server's ping. I really don't know what would be wrong.


Also, how would I add a title to it? And, of course, claim master on it? I haven't found much help in the documentation...

by Hirato Kirata on 08/03/2008 04:04, refers to #11046

I'm not sure what's wrong with the modem, but did you set it to send the data to your PC?
I don't think ubuntu has a built in firewall, but check the possibility of a firewall too

for the latter half of it

try looking a bit harder next time ;)

#11049: Re: Setting up a server.

by SheeEttin on 08/03/2008 05:52, refers to #11046

I use Kubuntu, and I don't think I've ever gotten a server running (not that I've ever really tried).

I think starting with Hardy (maybe Gutsy), there is a firewall (or at least some iptables/ipchains) thing installed by default, though I don't know if it's enabled, or even how you configure it.

To test your server, try these commands (in Sauer) in sequence:
/connect 127.0.0.1
/connect 192.168.1.100 // (or whatever your LAN IP is)
/connect 24.3.87.215 // (or whatever your WAN IP is)
If one fails, it'll tell you where the problem is. 127.0.0.1 should work, because it shouldn't leave your host (computer). 192.168.1.100 will pass through your router and back to you. Connecting to your WAN IP will connect out through your router and the world of the Internet, then back to you.

Aside from that, I can't really help.

#11050: Weapons, Door

I am needing help on spawning weapons and making doors move, I need a exact way to do it becasue the Readme doesnt really explain it all that goood. Much appreciated for everyone who trys to help.

#11051: Re: Weapons, Door

by SheeEttin on 08/03/2008 06:14, refers to #11050

Here's how you make some ammo:
I'm assuming you've just started Sauer.
- Press "E".
- Press "`". A little prompt with a slash should appear above where the HUD should be.
- Type "newmap".
- Look at the ground.
- Press "`".
- Type "newent rockets". Press enter.
- Press "`".
- Type "savemap ammomap".
- Press "`".
- Type "map ammomap".
You should see some rocket launcher ammo appear where you placed the rockets entity.
