#11345: can we ban 213.171.218.64?

by NIm on 10/15/2008 02:03

ubuntu, ctf, nvidia pcx5300

So I think this might be an ubuntu question, but sauer keeps getting unfullscreeened, and slowing down. Since sauer hijacks the mouse, I can't get back. I have to go into terminal, find sauer and kill it. Sucks. anyway, what can i do to fix this?

#11346: silly noob question

by Guru_Sev on 10/17/2008 02:54

i would like to play sauerbraten with just me and my friend, no one else. the only way that i could seem to do that is by making a server. i forwarded the ports correctly,and clicked on server.bat, and did not get the error message; on the contrary, it informed me that i had just created a dedicated server. im glad i managed to forward the ports correctly, but i dont want a dedicated server, i want a server that i can play on. i dont know what to do at this step, could someone point me in the right direction? much appreciated.

Would it be possible to implement it into this?

What's the problem? Leave the server window open, open Sauerbraten, and /connect localhost.

Your friend joins using your external IP address. Your post shows 24.254.230.152, so he should use the "connect" command and put the IP address after it.

http://sauerbraten.org/docs/config.html
Right click server.bat and click "Edit" to add commandline options.

Default batch file contents (at least on the work-in-progress version since I don't have the CTF edition right now):
"bin\sauerbraten.exe -d -c6 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5"

To keep it off the master server so other people won't see it and join, use -mlocalhost.

"bin\sauerbraten.exe -d -c6 -mlocalhost %1 %2 %3 %4 %5"

There's no password protection on servers other than logging in as admin, but you can log in as master with "setmaster 1" and set the server as private (mastermode 3) to ensure people can't join even with the IP address.

Check that page for other useful options.

I really want to thank you, you have been incredibly informative and helpful, and I really appreciate it.

What is the significance of the numbers and percents? I read in the configuration document that /m needs a url, so how are these symbols used instead?

by noerrorsfound123123 on 10/18/2008 02:28, refers to #11351

I've got no idea what the percentages are used for. "localhost" is just another way to access 127.0.0.1, which is always the address your own PC. The percents after that are unrelated to the specification of the master server URL/address.

Sorry, I figured out how to do it. I created another batch file, and moved the original somewhere else. Thanks again!

#11355: Window resizing random

by NIm on 10/18/2008 04:33

So, I'm running Ubuntu, and Sauer will, on occasion, go into windowed mode. Most often, It does not allow control with mouse or keyboard, and runs at full FPS in this state. I don't know the trigger, but it is not a keypress. How can I keep it from doing this? Is it screensaver related? It seems that Sauer takes ofer the cursor.

Please help me to make sauer run uninterrupted.

#11356: mdl. support in future?

by hotmitts on 10/18/2008 14:17

Would there be a possibility of adding support for the mdl. model format in future? That I believe is the original Half-Life model format, it seems better supported in Milkshape etc and, crucially, has skeletal animation. There are free mdl. editors around, plus there must be a ton of free models out there.

I\'ve no idea how the implementation to a game engine works for these things, I thought it was worth asking.
Thanks in advance.

#11359: location of custom maps

by Guru_Sev on 10/18/2008 19:02

After building a custom map, i tried to send the file to a friend so we could play it on my server. However, it could not send. I went into the base directory so that I could manually send him the file, but it isn't there. I can load it in-game, but there is no file in the directory. Could someone please help me out? I spent a lot of time making this map.

by mrpiddly_000003 on 10/18/2008 20:19, refers to #11356

Although I have never worked with the format, you should be able to convert it to one of the existing md3/md5 or obj model types.

I believe md5 supports skeletal animation as well.



See the cube wiki, http://cube.wikispaces.com/, under the "editing" section for more information about existing 3d model support.
