It's actually the CLIENT that sets the map, strange as it may seem.
If I remember correctly, when the server's empty, the first client to join sets the map (which may or may not be the map the server was last set to).

The server itself does next to nothing. It's more for coordination than anything else.

If you want to load a default map, you'd have to modify the server's source... I think that a server modified like this would still be allowed to register with the master server. (I'm not the one who governs, that, though.)

It's to tell the client which map to load when starting up, if you want to override the default.

I find it comes in pretty handy when I'm editing and I find I have to restart Sauer. Skips loading metl4 entirely.

It works for the client, not the server.

#11089: New player character ideas

by deathguppie on 08/08/2008 03:12

Hi,

After figuring out what is possible with the Sauerbraten engine I have decided to create a few more complex characters starting with a new player character. Because I haven't been around this developement site before I was hoping to get some input into the type of character that would fit best into the current(future??) version of the game.

Some stuff I have done in the past can be found here if your interested. Mind you this is not up to date, so much of the newer stuff is not there (lazy heh..)

http://proviction.com/deathguppie/index.html

oh, ya here is a more recent character I made..

Anyway, I like doing monsters more because they take less time, but I also kind of am inclined to do dark and scary. So give me your thoughts.. and I'll get started this week..

:)

DG

Very Nice and ya dark and scary fits right in all tho the napoleon soldier theme don't Fit well with cube 2 in my book but a VERY nice model you have and still WAY better then the ones we have now I think the doom 3 style Zombie/ alien theme would work well

I don't think that the soldier model fits in with the rest of the content in sauerbraten. It's a nice model though and I'm sure there are many modders who would love to get their hands on it.

The soldier was part of a concept game I was working on that is on hold. That's why I'm here, just keeping my skills up.

here is a head for a character that is yet unfinnished.. to get some more thought..

That looks more sauerbraten-ish.

Beautiful.
You are a great modeler, and I hope you will model something for Sauer.

Right now, the monster models are rather outdated. If you'd like, you can re-model them, re-imagine them, basically do whatever you think would make them look good by today's standards, and post what you come up with. If the dev(s) like it, it might be included with the release.

Uh, you'd probably want to put any models up on Quadropolis, though: http://quadropolis.us .

Oh wait, you were the one that made the new Hellpig. :P
There I go not doing my homework again.

Anyway, I guess you know what we're looking for, then.
If you want to continue with the rest of the monsters, I'm sure almost all of us would love to see it.

First thing I thought when I saw that was "Just a couple of mean horns and we've got a f'ing awesome replacement for the Bauul..." Anyone else see that (and really want that?)

Knock yourself out Guppie, I love what you've shown us so far. If you ever need texturing help, feel free to email me a skin layout and I'll make you something.

My server is in NewYork and its the only server that tends to kick me out totally messing up all my work.

And it happens only on my server.

#11098: Scripting question

by NerdFencer on 08/09/2008 02:06

how do I run a function in a script once the player goes to a specific spot in the map?

reply to this message

#11099: Re: Scripting question

by Hirato Kirata on 08/09/2008 02:42, refers to #11098

assuming you're in single player mode,

/newent mapmodel @ # $

@ is the mapmodel
# is te trigger type, how it has to be activated, whether it be from another trigger, whether this is a pick up, a door that opens for 5 seconds when you get near.
$ is the level_trigger_$ it'll activate
don't forget, in entset there's a direction too

for example

blah = [echo "Something is going wrong, you can feel it in your bones"]

level_trigger_1 [blah; if (= $playermodel 0) [echo "and as you're a md5 character, you've got plenty of bones"] [echo "you're surprised you even have any bones within you"]]

then just add a /newent mapmodel (rnd 153) 12 1

#11101: Starting a lan game with coop editing enabled

by Hopdown on 08/09/2008 18:01

Hey folks,

I've scoured the net looking for a way to do start a lan game with coop editing enabled, but have had no luck so far.

I'm running sauerbraten on a macbook pro, in OSX Leopard. The other computer in the LAN is a macbook running OSX Leopard.

I've successfully been able to set up a lan game between two computers, but as mentioned above, have had no luck enabling the coop level editing functionality.

I have no coding/programming experience, so talking me through it as though I were a child/very smart kangaroo would be excellent.

Thanks in advance!
