#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.

#11611: Cube, Linux AMD64

by Rivon on 01/29/2009 22:53

Hi I wanted to play Cube on Linux AMD64, but there was only i386 binary, so I decided to compile it for AMD64, but unfortunately I found out that it wouldn't work because of different netcode (really bad idea).
I don't want to cheat or anything. I just wanny play, so is there a way I can play Cube on Linux AMD64?

Use Sauerbraten (Cube 2). Cube 1 is basically unsupported at this point.

#11615: Scroll, & Selection Side on paste

by DorkeyDear on 01/31/2009 16:38

I used to play Sauer a long time ago and one of the main reasons why I quit was the fact that I was too lazy to figure out a way to change it so when I paste, it doesn't change the side that I paste on, where as before it pasted on the same side that i copied on, making it easy to paste multiple instances of the copied whatever in a direction. Also, I sometimes liked pasting stuff while about to do something else so I travel elsewhere while pasting, but it no longer allows pasting while looking away.

#11616: UI Buttons

by satkod on 01/31/2009 21:55

My question is as follows:

I need a way to have two guibuttons that respond to click events and always available to the player in the play.
The buttons should be accessible to the player all through out the gameplay ( I mean whereever he is in the map)
So how can i do this?

How can they be added into the map such that they always appear?

or

Is there any way to script so that I would get the feature on any map?

Thanks in advance for the help.

What do you need them to do?

As of now I would be sufficient if they could execute a command

#11619: Grass

by tentus_ on 02/02/2009 16:56

Does anyone else dislike the new grass in SVN? I've been hoping I'd warm to it, but I find myself missing the old grass. The new design just seems a lot more... tacked on and unnecessary.

In SP, you can use triggers.

Another option--not just for SP--is to make a menu that opens on a bind for options for whatever.

Anything moderately complicated will probably require a source mod, though.

#11621: Nice work with ragdoll deaths, but...

...Would it be too much to ask to have the monsters have ragdoll deaths too?

by a~baby~rabbit on 02/03/2009 01:23, refers to #11621

I believe someone would have to redo the monsters as md5 models and also create the required data files specifying joint constraints... volunteers?

#11623: Re: UI Buttons

by satkod on 02/03/2009 02:13, refers to #11620

Thanks.But when we use bind for a menu, the menu opens up only when the user presses the binded key. That is not I wanted. From the start of the map till the end, at any time, I want the user to have access to two buttons without him pressing any key.

Do I need to change the source to do this?

by Captain_Ahab on 02/03/2009 02:54, refers to #11622

I've got the ghoul and werewomen from the slow/(dead?). Eisenstern project rigged as .blend files. I also have a version of the ogro too as a .blend file.
Nothing fancy or great, but they might be useful.

do the rigs have to use specific armatures? How do you make the ragdoll joint constraints?
Is there any docs on the ragdoll yet?

Yes.

Well, you could just bind the two buttons' actions to keys...

SheeEttin, the problem is how to create those UI buttons such that they will be accessible all the time.

If I need to edit the source can you suggest which file to look into and what would be the general approach?

#11628: Re: UI Buttons

by SheeEttin on 02/03/2009 20:59, refers to #11627

I'm no coder, sorry.

I still think you're creating a complex solution to a simple problem, though.
If you told me exactly what it was you wanted these buttons to do, I could probably tell you "oh, just do this".

#11629: Leaving...

by demosthenes_ on 02/04/2009 08:01

I haven't actually been all that present here recently; mostly just lurking and such. I'd just like to let everyone know that I'm going to be gone for a while (six weeks of Navy boot camp without electronics at all), so the best way to contact me is by e-mail. I won't get any of them until the end, but I will read through all of the e-mails. I won't end up reading through all of the forum posts I missed. So, anything you need me to see (which I can't imagine there'll be much of), you ought to e-mail.

So, goodbye for now. :)
