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...

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

#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

by Cooperlsxl on 08/03/2008 05:54

Help again, I did not see my quesiton answered because I do not really understand this helping community but here it is again.

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.

by tman_elite on 08/03/2008 06:16, refers to #11050

Two and a half minutes of reading the links that were posted would take less time than waiting for an answer.

To make weapons, press t and type:
/newent ammotype
The ammo types are:
shells -- shotgun
bullets -- chaingun
rockets -- rocket launcher
grenades -- grenade launcher
riflerounds -- rifle
cartridges -- pistol

Moving doors are more complicated. You will want to read the editing reference for this. To make a simple door that opens when you step near it and closes after 5 seconds, type:
/newent mapmodel N 10
where N is the id number of a door model. I don't happen to know these off the top of my head. Look at other door models to find it.

"I know this is probably in here, but I really don't want to look."

The increase of people saying this sort of stuff is just downright disrespectful. We should not be tolerating this kind of lazy behaviour and poor ettiquette, lest it get worse.

#11054: New HellPig replacement character..

by deathguppie on 08/03/2008 20:25

Hey, I was playing single player the other day and was thinking about how outdated the Hellpig character was and so I decided to redo it in a more modern style just for fun.

Screen shot is here...
http://proviction.com/deathguppie/images/Hellpig2-screen1.jpg

So anyway in order to export my character and have it's animations work properly as a Hellpig replacement, does anyone know what the naming conventions are for the actions so that the game can use the character?

Also I didn't notice any character bump maps, but I know md5 supports it. Are character bump maps supported, and or are there any character shaders built in or otherwise that would handle diffuse/normal_map/specular_map??

Just wondering..

I can't answer your questions with much confidence (geartrooper?), but I can say that as a fellow artist, that's pretty ballin'. It'd probably be a bit more acceptable if there was an orange-ish skin closer to the original, but I personally like what you've got up a lot.

Any stats on that model (polycount, etc)?

#11058: HellPig2 stats

by deathguppie on 08/04/2008 00:19

Hey, thanks it was actually a fairly quick model. The Hellpig was easy because it is a fairly basic concept in the first place.

tentus: I thought about the orange thing but it I think characters are moving toward more realistic style skins.. plus I wanted to be able to use red for highlights. The poly count is 888 tris.

$killz: I sculpted a high poly, and mapped it to the low, so it really depends on how the shader deals with the normal map as to how good it looks. If Sauerbraten can use a spec map that would be better. I do have one. If it still looks like I need to mess with it when I export it to the game, I'll chop off any bad corners, and re-export it.

As soon as it look's acceptable I'll put it up for download. Probably within a day or two at the latest.

#11059: ps.

by deathguppie on 08/04/2008 02:10

Thanks for taking the time to answer me eihrul@work. I suppose I could have found that info but it is nice to know that it is current. As it turns out I didn't have the correct md5 exporter anyway.

If anyone wants to check it out for themselves I put up the idle-animation in a .blend file here..

You will need one of the apricot branch test builds of blender to see it properly. You can get them from http://www.graphicall.org

You, my friend, are also on the lackadaisical side of things by not being willing to help other people. Even if I am not willing to help my self, the posters that help me are helping other people by moving this information to the front. This giant 'question thread' seems to be a bane to this community, as all relevant information is quickly sucked back inside.

#11062: ..

by JadeMatrix on 08/04/2008 07:16

I'm looking to replace my graphics card. I currently have:

ATI Radeon 9600:
Chipset Model: ATY,RV351
Bus: AGP
Slot: AGP
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

I'm thinking about an Nvida card, somewhere <$120, even if it's second-hand. Any suggestions as to a model?
