#11447: Re: adding maps

by Hirato Kirata on 11/17/2008 22:26, refers to #11446

the server doesn't actually need the maps, if you just intend to host a server, you just need the server executable, or the client executable launched with -d. just make sure UDP ports 28785 and 28786 are forwarded.

Additional maps are really never needed, sure they're nice, but the good ones will be in the next release... whenever that is :P

also if soemone wants to play a map you don't have, just get them to send it to you over coopedit.... as long as it uses the default config

#11448: Contributing code

by kripken on 11/18/2008 06:54

I wrote some code for Sauerbraten that I'd like to contribute to the project. Where should I do that?

The code lets you use particle effects as attachments to model bones, so you can have, say, a smoking gun, a flaming sword, etc. (Basically it defines a 'particle model' as a subclass of animmodel.)

#11449: Re: Where's my map?

by Chuckles on 11/19/2008 13:56, refers to #11440

Still cannot find my maps. I have tried your latest suggestion of :

"X:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Sauerbraten"

and that did not work. An IT friend of mine suggested that the application was saving my created maps on an online server somewhere, so I disconnected from the internet and could still open my created maps.

They are definitely on my hard drive somewhere. Any other suggestions from anyone?

Thanx!

#11451: Change keymapping?

by sh0nuff on 11/20/2008 01:10

I hate having the "e" key bound to open edit mode. Whenever Im playing and I accidentally hit it, it resets the whole level, and I am pretty much forced to start from scratch.

I can't seem to figure out how to disable or remap the key....

Thanks.

#11454: strange water glitch...?

by fugudude on 11/21/2008 04:21

Ok i was wondering how this is happening and how to fix it... here are three pictures. The top surface of the water doesn't render right or something; it will just become a funny color when I shoot it, jump in it, or look at it with a different angle.

Or add this to your autoexec.cfg to add a warning. I wrote it a while ago, so I'm not sure if it even works:

bind E edittogg

noshow_editogg = 0

edittogg = [
if (= $noshow_edittogg 0) [
if (> $mode -2) [
pause 1
showgui "Edit Mode"
] [
edittoggle
]
] [
edittoggle
]
]

newgui "Edit Mode" [
guitext "Do you really want to switch to edit mode?"
guitext "(You will lose your progress in the current"
guitext "campaign)"
guitext ""
guibutton "Yes, enter edit mode >>" "pause 0; edittoggle"
guibutton "No, return to campaign <<" "cleargui; sleep 100 [pause 0]"
guitext ""
guicheckbox "Do not show this again" "noshow_edittogg"
guitext "(This will reset when you restart Sauerbraten)"
]

Oops, third to last line should be:

I have same thing. You have shader detail set to low... Try /shaderdetail 3 then /shaderdetail 0. It works on my computer.

Ah, ok. Is it used the same way, or what?

#11460: Re: Change keymapping?

by Hirato Kirata on 11/22/2008 07:33, refers to #11459

just substitute one for the other
ie
if (> (getmode) -2) [
instead of
if (> $mode -2) [

#11461: mouse problem

by celtic_dragon on 11/22/2008 09:17

I downloaded Cube a few days ago. I can play fine at work (WinXP), but at home (WinVista), whenever I do anything with the mouse, it looks toward the ceiling. I've tried both PS/2 and USB mice. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to find some mention of this problem somewhere, but couldn't find anything. I thought I'd try binding keys for turning and looking up/down (mouse-less play is OK by me), but there doesn't appear to be any way to do that.

Athlon X2 4800
NVidia GeForce 6150 SE

though I wouldn't have thought that was really relevant in this case (but just in case).

Anyone know how to fix this or a way around it?

#11462: Re: mouse problem

by tentus_ on 11/22/2008 17:02, refers to #11461

Try playing with the sensitivity:
http://sauerbraten.org/docs/config.html#sensitivity

Also, try simply not moving the mouse while loading. I've seen some mice decide some weird stuff on their own.

#11463: mouse spin

by celtic_dragon on 11/22/2008 23:59

Thanks for your help, Tentus, but adjusting sensitivity or sensitivityscale only makes it spin upwards slower or faster (though I did notice, after I had slowed it down, that I can make it turn or look down in a very belaboured fashion: moving the mouse in the down-left/down-right directions turns the player, and moving the mouse a little to the right of straight down looks down, but I have to be very careful, and it is slow - it seems to be "fighting" with its propensity to move in the up-left direction).

I didn't touch the mouse while it was loading, either.

There is no way to bind or script for turning and looking up/down?

Could it be a driver issue? It's a new computer, just bought it a few weeks ago.

BTW, was attempting Cube Legends. Looks good (what little I've seen, anyway - but why does the title hang around forever? I finally turned it off in autoexec.cfg); I really would like to try it.

#11464: Re: mouse spin

by Quin on 11/23/2008 01:12, refers to #11463

There's no binds for looking, no.

It sounds to me like it isn't grabbing the mouse properly. Try pressing ALT+TAB to make sure Sauerbraten is coming to the front (the batch file confuses the window assignment if the program called from batch takes a while to start) or running in windowed mode (-t command line).

#11465: tried it

by celtic_dragon on 11/23/2008 01:39

I tried ALT-TAB; the only way I could get back was clicking on the cubeengine tab (I can shift the focus to the command prompt screen, but not back to the game itself) - it didn't help. Also tried -t switch, but to no avail.

Thanks for your suggestions, though.

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Ah, Cube Legends, good times. The title screen was quite a stupid little hack, but you could get rid of it by firing once. :) Man I was bad at coding back then, I look back at my changes and cringe (really, I look back at most of that project and cringe).
