#11153: Re: Server Questions

by Quin on 08/20/2008 03:43, refers to #11150

This is why these types of servers shouldn't be among the general rotation. It sets a certain expectation. Short answer is you can not, long answer is mod the source (with a bunch of stuff I won't get in to).

Maybe just require modded servers to describe the mods and preferable post the mods (e.g. diffs) somewhere...?

It's what I'm planning on doing if I ever get around to that mod master server thing.

Thx for your answer tentus. Ill have to find sth similar to elevators then. Btw how does the game know that its a multiplayer map??
Really hope to see elevators for multiplayer in next release

It just shows you whatever is relevant for the current gametype. So the default gameype, ffa/default, doesn't show them because it's a multiplayer mode. You have to be in SP mode to see them (try /mode -2; map YOURMAP in order to see it in SP mode. )

Eihrul, I noticed some another shortcoming in the documentation. The spider isn't listed with the other 8 monsters.

Thx again for fast answer. Its going 2b only CTF & capture so ill just remove them. But I had also another problem with elevators. Sometimes they were suddenly moving in a wall or went through cubes instead of going down again.

#11159: Re: Gamepads?

by demosthenes on 08/20/2008 22:35, refers to #11151

Short Answer: Yes.

Longer Answer: Homicidal is actually not a reliable source of information. There's a program called JoyToKey out on the interwebs somewhere for free (at least when I downloaded it, it was) which you can use to bind joystick/gamepad buttons to mouse/keyboard buttons. It has several other features, such as auto-firing (rapid tap while button held down, I guess) as well.

second answer is also Yes, there's a mod on quadropolis called sauerjoy if you feel like merging in it's very outdated codebase into your installation

can't forget about sauerjoy :D

#11161: Re: Gamepads?

by Quin on 08/21/2008 05:33, refers to #11160

Third answer is use PPJoy and GlovePIE. GlovePIE allows programming of inputs to a simulated PPJoy pad from multiple devices, including Power Gloves and Wiimotes :)

#11163: New Linux Game Site

by XOIE on 08/21/2008 09:11

Hello people!

I\'m the maintainer of a very new site for native linux games:
The Linux Game Database www.lgdb.org
The aim of the site is to create an easy and feature rich tool to find games fast and provide a quick jet comprehensive impression.

Sauerbraten has been added to the database.
http://www.lgdb.org/node/53

The sites relies heavily on game attributes like genre and features to form extensive filter possibilities for the user. It would be great if someone would check the information i provided and see if all is correct, please let me know if you like to have anything changed.


Ciao,
XOIE

Please do let us know if "/maxservpings 10" helps - I've been working to track this down under the impression that these network hickups were a recent feature in osx since 10.5

#11166: Re: New Linux Game Site

by Hirato Kirata on 08/21/2008 11:34, refers to #11163

The main website is REALLY www.cubeengine.com, and for cube 2 specifically, http://www.sauerbraten.org

sauerbraten also doesn't have a fixed theme,as some maps have futuristic spacey feels and others are eqyptian themed, and others have more of a fantasy approach, as you may have noticed

also, you may want to note some OTHER game modes as well
there is capture, arena, assassin, along with efficiency and insta remixes for most of those modes.

#11169: Crouch function - coding problem

by Chameleon on 08/22/2008 01:19

Hi everybody !
I\'ve implemented a \"crouch\" and a \"walk\" function in the code of sauerbraten, something very simple:
(I\'ve also renamed \"jumpnext\" into \"jumping\")

It\'s half-working for the moment, the walk function is OK, but the crouch function is weird.
I\'ve binded crouch to C, so when I press C, the player is crouching, it\'s working pretty well, but when I pull back the key, the player break suddenly though the floor. Anyone got an idea ?
If I jump when crouching, the player come back to standing position normaly (after jumping).

ents.h:65
bool jumping, walking, crouching;

ents.h:96 reset()
crouching = walking = false;

ents.h:175 stopmoving()
k_left = k_right = k_up = k_down = jumping = crouching = walking = false;

physics.cpp:396-397
const float CROUCHHEIGHT = 8.0f;
const float STANDHEIGHT = 14.0f;


physics.cpp:1250-1273 moveplayer()
if(pl->crouching == false)
{
if(pl->walking == false)
{
pl->maxspeed = 60;
}
else
{
pl->maxspeed = 15;
}
pl->eyeheight = STANDHEIGHT;
}
else
{
if(pl->walking == false)
{
pl->maxspeed = 20;
}
else
{
pl->maxspeed = 10;
}
pl->eyeheight = CROUCHHEIGHT;
}


physics.cpp:1647-1648
ICOMMAND(crouch, \"D\", (int *down), player->crouching = *down);
ICOMMAND(walk, \"D\", (int *down), player->walking = *down);

#11170: Own Master Server

by ikbendeoceaan on 08/22/2008 04:40

I was wondering, how would I go about creating my own master server to go along with my total conversion like AC did?

Was just wondering if someone can give me some info on how Sauerbraten's master server works, what it consists of, and where is located(uploaded to).

I guess you can reply on here, or email me. Or add me on MSN at crank@gomoku-ms.com


Thank you.

#11171: Re: Crouch function - coding problem

by SheeEttin_ on 08/22/2008 05:07, refers to #11169

My guess is that when you stand up, it\'s not your head that moves up, it\'s your feet that move down (through the floor).
Try giving the player a bump for the difference between crouching and standing.

Be aware that the extent of my C++ experience is a rudimentary \"guess the number\" game, though. :P

#11172: Re: Crouch function - coding problem

by a~baby~rabbit on 08/22/2008 05:20, refers to #11171

Your eye position moves, but the question is: what do you look like to other players - or is your intention a SP mod?
