#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.

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).

Why not? CUBE 2 is a great engine, and more people should use it. More people = more modifications = more features...

...ya know - besides the fact that you essentially just said that you want to take someone else's work and claim it as your own.

In University, that's called plagiarism and will get you kicked out. In real life, it's called copyright infringement and will get you sued and possibly imprisoned.

#11472: Download problems

by cheeze4life on 11/29/2008 05:49

Hey I\'m having a lot of trouble downloading Sauerbraten. Every time I try to open it a small black window with white typing comes up, then my computer screen turns completely black. Then I have to hit ctrl alt delete to get out of the black screen. When it goes back to the normal screen it says Sauerbraten: Fatal Error. My graphics card is a generic PnP Monitor on ATI Radeon X1200. Can someone please tell me what\'s wrong and how to fix this?

#11473: Auto send/getmap

Is there a patch to:
* Automatically send the map when a new player connects
* Automatically get the map after you connect

Thanks

Is it a widescreen monitor? It may be that the default resolution doesn't work for you.

#11476: Unable to play in Vista

by fnerraw on 11/30/2008 22:31

I used to play Cube and Cube2 on my XP PC but can't get either to work on my Vista32 PC. Is there a trick or something?

Thanks

You need to describe why it's not working, i.e. what's happening that makes you think it's not working.

Also need to give what your 3D hardware you have.

But regardless, make sure you have actually installed OpenGL drivers for your video card.

I have a Nevidia GEForce 6150LE. I installed Assault Cube and when I tried to run it it gave me a hint about the OpenGL dsrivers so I installed the latest version. Assault Cube now runs but neither of the Sauerbratens will run. I get a DOS type window with the following

C:\Program Files\Sauerbraten 2\Sauerbraten.exe -r
init: SJ1
init: enet
init: video: mode

Eventually I get an error box that says sauerbraten.exe not responding

Well, I have no idea whatsoever why it would hang there - while it's still just trying to set up the screen.

I thought it might have something to do with my firewall so I clicked the shortcut to see and now everything works. I have no idea what's different today. Perhaps there was an eclipse or some solar flares or some other natural phenomenon.

#11482: RE: Weaponless editing

by loutti on 12/03/2008 01:53

Hello,

Is there a way to get rid of the weapons from the game? I am teaching a game design course at the high school level and would like to have no weapons in the program (for now any way). Thanks.
