#11424: Building on Mac OS X

by prophile on 11/12/2008 20:33

I've compiled from source (on a Leopard PPC machine) but I can't run the launcher because it needs the gamedata folder. Where do I need to move things about to make sauerbraten work from source and why is this not done automatically?

build for release-deployment and it will package everything up for you in the right place.

Generally this just means some random undiagnosable error occured in your OpenGL driver. This usually happens on very old video cards, or Intel integrated graphics. There is often little that can be done about this, unfortunately, other than to make sure you have up-to-date OpenGL drivers installed and hope whatever bugs in the drivers were fixed.

#11428: Naming My Server

by YoungBlood on 11/14/2008 22:05

I have a dedicated server up and running, but I don't know how to name it. What is the command I should use to name the server?

Thanks,

From http://sauerbraten.org/docs/config.html#command_line_options

-nN

Sets the server description, for people pinging the server. usually does not need to be set if you have a descriptive domain name already, but if you set it, keep it short as it may otherwise be truncated (example: -n"Bobs Instagib Server").

#11430: Where's my map?

by Chuckles on 11/15/2008 14:53

New mapper here. I've read tons of manuals, on and off-line, tutorial videos, and every "read me" file I can find, and I still have a simple question...

In which folder does Cube 2 save the maps that I'm creating?

I've searched everywhere I can think of, and can't find them - but they still load up every time I want to work on them. They must live somwhere...

/packages/base/MAPNAME.ogz

You can move them to their own folder if you want, such as /packages/enterprise/MAPNAME.ogz, but the catch is that then you have to type "/map enterprise/MAPNAME" rather than just "/map MAPNAME" (and no tab-based autocomplete either).

by Chuckles on 11/15/2008 17:33, refers to #11431

Tentus,

Thanx for your speedy reply. packages/base is the first place I looked for my maps and they are not there. I've searched every folder in the Sauerbraten folder, and I can't find them. I've done searches for mapnames, .ogz files, and even the dates that I worked on the maps, and still can't find them on any of my internal or external drives.

But I can still open and edit the maps every day. So they must be living somewhere.

Any ideas?

(Thanx again for your time!)

by Hirato Kirata on 11/15/2008 17:42, refers to #11432

now OS information would help
for linux all files are saved in ~/.sauerbraten, on windows vista (and i'd assume XP), files I think are saved in your documents somewhere.
As usual, I don't know the OSX side of the equasion :P

In OSX, saved maps are in: username/Library/Application Support/sauerbraten/packages/base/...

by c0rdawg on 11/15/2008 19:33, refers to #11433

This question is asked all the time. Perhaps we can get the exact locations for each OS and put them in the wiki/documentation?

Or we ask eihrul to do something nice like say what folder the map was saved into when you do a /savemap

#11436: Re: Where's my map?

by Chuckles on 11/16/2008 01:05, refers to #11435

Thank you all for your help. After reading your posts, I've re-searched all my drives and still nothing. The only thing I can think of is that Sauerbraten is naming the maps something other than what I'm naming them. Which seems to make little sense, but I have no other solution. Like I said, I keep opening the maps and working on them.

If anyone has a solution - or knows where I can find a solution - that would be awesome.

I'm running "Windows Vista Home Premium" with "Service Pack 1", if that helps.

I think Vista has some kind of silly security option that hides files. Maybe look into this.
