#11692: How to Load a .obj map

by ankitpatel5 on 02/17/2009 04:36

I have a .obj model and also have a .mtl file and few .png pictures....not sure if they are needed but main concern is how do I load the .obj map model to CUBE so I can roam around in that??

Can some1 give a detailed explanation because I am new and I've tried searching around but nothing seems to make sense to me...

I would really appreciate the help...

#11693: Color Profile changes under OS X

by sektah on 02/17/2009 11:49

As the title says, the Profile changes when i start Sauer.
I don't know any way to avoid this. If i start in windowed-mode i can change it to the usually used profile. But I look for something permanent.
If I leave Sauer the desired profile is active again.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You can experiment with the /gamma command within sauerbraten, though I was under the impression that the default of 100 would be using the normal color profile unchanged...

As you note, gamma adjusts the full screen rather than just the window - this is unavoidable.

I would advise almost everyone with a mac to create a custom colour profile using a gamma of 2.2, the pc default value. If done correctly, this will stop the profile changes and allow you to view sauerbraten with "truer" colours.

Changing the custom color profile won't make a difference (and snow leopard uses 2.2 anyway) in this case - the issue is that sauerbraten ( i.e. SDL) changes screen gamma.

I believe that I slightly misunderstood what he wanted to do. My solution was to alter the colour profile for the entire system so that it would not change, at least visibly, when sauerbraten launches. (I still recommend a custom profile with a gamma of 2.2 in most cases)

To force sauerbraten to use a different colour profile automatically, such as the osx default of 1.8, would require some alterations to code.

Yeah, it's easy! First, you have to own a Mac, and I think you're stuck with objective C, and then you develop with their SDK(I assmue?), submit your app, and then it takes a month before Apple says it's good, and then if it isn't they don't tell you what's wrong, so you have to figure it out all by yourself!

lol! So true, except for the part about being stuck with Objective-C: since obj-c is just an extension, you can also write c/c++ code if you so desire.

Any idea when the current cvs version will be released as a final "ragdoll" version? Half year release cycle would be about now, and I hate that all the servers have "old protocol" next to them ;)

As much as ragdolls are fun, you can't make a release on the strength of them alone. I am still waiting on people to finish up more good CTF maps first so that the overall package will be more appealing.

There is also the nice new Iron"masterchief"snout model...but you are probably right.

Anything else on the todo list in nearer future?

by ankitpatel5 on 02/20/2009 18:53

I have a .obj model of a room...how do I load the .obj map model to CUBE so I can roam around in that??

Can some1 give a detailed explanation because I am new and I've tried searching around wiki/docs but nothing seems to make sense to me...

Also, can some1 also give a quick sample demo of how to load md2 files...for example the carrot....I don't understand the parameters in the wiki...

#11712: Taking a screenshot

by ankitpatel5 on 02/20/2009 18:55

How do I take a screenshot?

I tried ./screenshot but it does nothing...

where does it save??


And is there a way to get a screenshot of a given (X,Y) coordinate somehow?

I am very new so if somehow can do a quick demo code I would really appreciate it...

#11713: Re: How to load a .obj file....

by mrpiddly on 02/20/2009 22:24, refers to #11711

Even after loading an obj model, you will be unable to roam around inside of it due to cube II's primitive collision detection system with regards to mapmodels. Also, I would try to use md3/obj instead of md2.

Loading an obj is very similar to loading an md3, so look through this section of the docs on MD3s, and the following passage on how you alter the md3 code to load an obj: (it still may be slightly out of date) http://sauerbraten.org/docs/models.html#md3_format

Look in the models folder for completed examples. If you do not understand the most basic vocabulary used in the explanations, I do not believe anyone will be able to help you.




Just type /screenshot to take a basic screenshot, other downloadable utilities will automatically remove the hud. By default, I believe it saves in the main Sauerbraten directory. What do you mean by x,y coordinate? Are you referring to a section of the screen or to an area of the map, usually x,y,z.



People really should try to help themselves before they ask others to help them.
