#11115: Problems with servers.

by R0b0t1 on 08/11/2008 22:00

After trying to create a dedicated server from the command line (I've forwarded the ports) it says it can't reply to the masterserver and then idles. However, I made a server in-game once (I don't know how -- I started making a map and set mode to 1) and I seemed to be responding the the masterserver fine. However, I had problems claiming master/admin on it, through setmaster, approve, and any I haven't seen.

1) How can I make my server work,

2) and how can I claim master :-\

Then its most likely that you haven't really forwarded the ports properly. For help with your router/modem, please refer to its manual or ask for support from the manufacturer.

No, I have forwarded them. I am absolutely sure of this. If I had not forwarded them, I would not have been able to have others join my listen server :-\

And even if that is not the case... I know what I typed in there. I wish people wouldn't always point to the manual. Some people who ask questions have already read it.

I wish people would limit their questions to specific Sauerbraten/Cube questions, rather than asking us why their port forwarding doesn't work. Not only do we not know the setup of your home networking, but we don't have the answers for every home networking situation.

Maybe you didn't save your setup and it reset back to normal? There are millions of these maybe questions and no real idea as to what is really going on from our point of view.

For all intents and purposes the problem is on your end, not Sauerbraten's. All we can do is point you to what we have already compiled on the issue, because that's what it's there for - a repository of Cube knowledge.

No, it has been saved. I consider this a Sauerbraten specific question because I am sure I set up everything correctly.

Quin, this will probably shed some light on why they're doing it: http://slash7.com/pages

@R0b0t1:
Can you give some more infos?
What system you are using? (most likely windows I guess)

Is there any firewall installed?

Did you forward TCP instead of UDP Ports?

And PLEASE follow the links Quin posted!!!

In the documentation is even a link to a page where you can test your port setting.

Yeah, I gave someone else a link to it a week or two back... I'm kinda considering adding it to my bookmarks to paste into posts, and give it to people along with with links to the docs (or whatever).

by R0b0t1 on 08/12/2008 19:21, refers to #11122

No, I read the articles before I first tried to set up a server. I forwarded UDP ports. (The proper ones, that are like 28k or something)


I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, and I don't know if it has a firewall, I didn't manually install one.

^there is no set requirements, and nothing really has changed to cause that, make sure you have shaders and other high-power settings turned off

I have one other comment: did it used to be that you couldn't see enemies armor until you hit them? I didn't remember it being like that and I actually think it is kinda a dumb change (running the latest CTF version with the patch thing on OS X 10.5)

#11127: Moving Forward

by lonewolf18 on 08/13/2008 03:43

Hey there. Well I've been playing around with Sauerbraten for awhile now and I gotta say it's a pretty cool engine. So far I can see that it's a great way to design maps. The engine is stable and speedy. Also the music is very addictive. My main question is would it be possible to use this engine to build an actual first person shooter game? Thanks. =)

Uhm, yes? I get the feeling that I'm missing something, how is Sauerbraten not "an actual first person shooter game"?

You're missing the fact that "actual" is apparently now equivalent to "commercial". I think.

#11130: Wierd problems with binds.

by R0b0t1 on 08/13/2008 12:01

I was playing around with cubescript inside a multiplayer game (not cheating, mind you, just to talk to someone) and the wierdest thing happened. The next map all of my keys were unbound. I don't remember running a command like unbindall, if such exists, but they all spontaniously went out the window.

I've gotten them back, but whats even stranger, is that it does not recognize the commands "togglezoom" and "universaldelta" (when scrolling the mouse, pressing "g", respectively). Is there any reason such a strage thing should happen?

#11132: Adding new weapons for a Singleplayer Campaign

by Agron on 08/14/2008 03:51

Lately I've been doing a lot of messing around with Sauerbraten and its code... I've just added a new monster (Quake 2's guard), and am in the process of ATTEMPTING to add a couple of new guns (One to go with the monster, one to go to the player).

However, after two hours of searching, I could not find what controls the particles used in a projectile (Fireball, Iceball, Slimeball).

Does anyone know what file(s) that is in?

Also, additional information would be greatly appreciated.

#11134: Match time limit

by DragonSpirit on 08/15/2008 19:36

I have been looking through any information I can get my hands on and for the life of me I cannot find a way to remove the _short_ time limit of 10 - 15 minutes in Sauerbraten. How in the world can I mange to do this? If possible.
