#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

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

My intention is to make a sp mod, and I will make new models with more animations later. For now, I want to implement a different game system, so I don't care if my model seems to be standing as long as you feel like crouching when you play.

Thanks, but I've already took a look at BloodFrontier's code, but their codes and game system are completly different from the original one.
But it's OK, I've solved my problem adding a "crouched" bool that gives the player a pulse just after releasing the crouch key:

...
bool jumping, walking, crouching, crouched;
...


...
if(pl->crouching == false)
{
if(pl->crouched)
{
pl->crouched = false;
pl->vel.z += 100.0f;
}
if(pl->walking == false)
{
pl->maxspeed = 60;
}
else
{
pl->maxspeed = 15;
}
pl->eyeheight = STANDHEIGHT;
}
else
{
pl->crouched = true;
if(pl->walking == false)
{
pl->maxspeed = 20;
}
else
{
pl->maxspeed = 10;
}
pl->eyeheight = CROUCHHEIGHT;
}

With that, it's working pretty nicely.
Thanks you all.
Feel free to use my code.

#11177: Screenshots

Hi!
My questions are:
1) How to make a screenshot for a map?
2) To what folder the screenshot is going?

Just a word of advice, when you make a screenshot (using F12 like Q009 suggested), use the commands
/hidehud 1
/hudgun 0
to clear up your screen. (Then use the opposite values to get the hud stuff back).

On linux, most files such as configs and custom maps will go in a hidden folder in your home directory ".sauerbraten". Hope this helps.

#11184: Re: Serverlist

by a~baby~rabbit on 08/23/2008 00:39, refers to #11181

ah... sorry, looks like that was a fairly recent addition to the code and isn't in the latest release.

As a workaround, regardless of what the server browser says, you can always just type "/connect <ip>" if you know the ip number of the server. To that end you may want to download CSL (cube server listener - it's mentioned in another forum thread). This is a separate program that tells you the status of all other games - with even more detail than the builtin server browser of sauerbraten.

On the subject of the server list, does anyone else ever have problems getting replies from all servers in the list? I update from master, get three pages of servers, but only the first page and one third reply, with the others stuck at "Waiting for response" indefinitely.

It's not a big deal for me, what with CSL and having my favorite servers bound, but it would be nice to understand why it's occurring.

Happens to me too. Probably normal.
Could be servers that have gone down since being registered but haven't been removed yet, or something.

#11188: Re: Serverlist

Most of the players i know see nearly every server. If i click on those servers, i can still connect, they just dont respond to the serverlist.
I often had to ask for the ip of a server. Its easier with CSL now, but it would be great to know how to fix this problem though.

Dear gamers, please help mw with the following problem:
My IS seems to have changed my connection's parameters and now instead of seeing a list of servers, I only see a list of IPs with 'newer protocol' next to. Can I solve it or is there NOTHING to do wothout involving the IS?
