#11591: Re: Collision meshes

by tentus_ on 01/17/2009 21:10, refers to #11590

The code that you're proposing would end up being quite complex and resource intensive (comparatively... what we have work very very fast). Have you considered using the clip material in conjunction with a minimal collision box? I found that it worked well for fairly complex shapes, even when working with pretty minor details (I was able to accurately clip the wings and support poles of a biplane model, for instance).

It's in the main game (sauerbraten) directory .. you might not see file-extensions with your file-explorer (better to switch this on anyway!!) .. it'll have an icon like a window with a cogwheel in it .. right-click it and select "edit". HTH

Your idea is good, but it would only really be worth the time if you could save prefabs and load them into any map at any time. I'm not really liking the idea of modeling a collision mesh out of volumes for a gigantic water tower every time I go to use it :P

prefabs .. erhm .. like build it once, save it as "my_excellent_prefab_001" .. do a "/newmap 12" and construct some basic layout .. "/save" .. "/map my_excellent_prefab_001" .. select the geometry, press C to copy .. "/map work_in_progress" .. select destination .. press V to paste .. "/save" ..

MeatRome's right, it's easy to copy both geometry and ents at once. I've got a map that is nothing but predone geometry/ent setups (torches are something I have a lot of, for example). It'd be nice if Sauer had a way to save "groups" if you would, which you could place ad then break into their components if they need further editing, but I'm not convinced that it's a feature that would be worth the amount of effort it'd take.

Yeah, I was laughing to myself about that this morning. Web developer humor is twisted indeed.

#11600: main menu

by Fischkopf on 01/21/2009 17:54

Can u add a main menu for sauerbraten? its better and loads faster you dont have to load the start map.

reply to this message

#11601: Re: main menu

by MeatROme on 01/21/2009 23:24, refers to #11600

well, you can always do
"/edittoggle"
"/newmap"
"/savemap minimal"
and then edit your sauerbraten launcher by adding:
-lminimal

Hope that makes you happy!

Cool thanks it loads faster now, but a main menu is much sexier!:S :D

#11603: 64-bit win version

by Zethus on 01/25/2009 20:39

is it possible to make your own 64 bit version or have one already made? i really wanna use my 8 gb ram

by jbuk2k7s cookie has gone on 01/25/2009 22:04, refers to #11603

Compile it yourself.

I believe Codeblocks with the newest MingW release/snapshot is the officially endorsed system, but I think there's an MSVC++ project in there also.

#11610: Modding questions

by skullmunky on 01/29/2009 18:26

Hi, I have a Q3A mod that I'd like to convert to Sauerbraten, and just have a few (hopefully simple) questions.

1. Where do you set up the chat text files for bots?

2. Is there some documentation on exporting MD3's from Maya? I tried to bring some of the included models into maya (import to blender, export to OBJ, then into Maya) and the position and orientation came out very ... strange. Mostly I just want to know how big to make things, and which way is up.

3. Can you have bots running in a multiplayer game too, or are those only for the single player mode?

that should do it for me ... great work, by the way, extremely easy to get set up and easy to work with. I'm using ubuntu, btw.
