#11842: Multiple maps

by mr g on 03/15/2009 19:14

I have created a map a long time ago, and since started a new one. Now the new map is finished, but the older one still needed some features. How can I load a old map?

Sauerbraten doesn't really care about the time of the map when loading a map, just the map's name itself. As long as your new map has a different name than the older one (and you saved them both), you can load them. Loading a map is just

/map mapname

You can work on one map, save it (under teh new map's name), and work on the other older one one and not affect the newer one, as long as you save the older map with the older map's name and not the newer one. What I'm trying to say is that you can switch between whatever maps you want to edit at any time (though not edit them at the same time, but that goes without saying).

Hmm, hope you get that :P

#11845: new (maybe) CMS

by Octree Admin on 03/17/2009 00:43

I may be starting a new sauer cms, but with a slightly different aim. Iv'e come up with the analogy of flickr or youtube, except maybe not like youtube since theres a lot of crud on there. The site/project is at http://whitehat.servehttp.com/octree/

Reply to Quin:
Theres a couple things that don;t make sense:
1)I didnt ensure anything, unless you thing youtube doesnt work
2)some people's stuff get deleted off of quadro because they're not a hobbyist and their map isn't art, as they uploaded to the wrong site for the wrong reason
3)I'm not entirely duplicating efforts
4)I did my reasearch. If you claim the number of people who tried this is staggering, then there must be a group of people who want something additional

#11848: Location of an entity

by satkod on 03/17/2009 17:43

Hi All,

Is there a way to get the 2D or 3D coordinates of the location of a given entity in a map?

I am thinking on this for a long time. Thanks in advance.

#11849: Re: Location of an entity

by Hirato Kirata on 03/18/2009 00:40, refers to #11848

not without some code hacks...

for the 3D location try adding this into world.cpp, somewhere below the entget function

ICOMMAND(entcoords, "", (), entfocus(efocus, s_sprintfd(s)("%f %f %f", e.o.x, e.o.y, e.o.z); result(s)));

then just hover your cursor over an entity and type /echo (entcoords) to get it's coordinates printed on screen

for the 2D position, just ignore the last number

#11850: ..

by rafale on 03/18/2009 15:58

Hello..

everytime I try to run Sauermod it says

"cannot find data files (you are running from the wrong folder, try .bat file in the main folder)"

why?...

thanks in advance

#11851: Re: ..

by tentus_ on 03/19/2009 05:06, refers to #11850

You're trying to run the exe file. You're supposed to run the bat file (it ends with .bat, it's supposed to be in the main folder... I'm not sure that there's a clearer way to phrase this). Just to troubleshoot, where on your hard drive is the exe located?

#11852: Display acts very strange

by Vhall on 03/20/2009 00:01

Good evening,

Well, Good is kinda confusing I guess, since I seem to have a little problem with Sauerbraten. I started using Sauerbraten today, but the following problem occurs after startup;

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7987/weirdproblem.jpg

(little warning about ads)

As you can see, the screen is totally messed up. I am running Sauerbraten on the following system;

- Windows XP x64
- Ati X1900XT (with the latest drivers, OpenGL too)
- Dualcore Intel processor

So the first thing I checked, were my drivers, but they all seem to be up to date. Secondly I checked if other 3d programs showed the same problem, but they didnt, checked it with Blender and Maya, these seem to work fine.
Last but not least I looked for a possible cause on wiki and searched with google, but nothing relevant came up.
So now I am wondering if there is anyone around here, who has seen or experienced the same problem and knows of a solution...

Thanks for reading this and possibly taking the time to reply!

Vhall

This is a bug most likely with your Video card, but very likely the drivers as well regarding OpenGL

you can manually try toggling some of the workarounds to get rid of it (no guarantees) by pressing T and typing /ati

then just press TAB to cycle through the valid choices (obviously, 1 to activate, 0 to deactivate

and can you tell use what stdout says? ie the console right after starting up

Open ATI Catalyst control center. In Advanced 3D settings, turn off Catalyst AI. Problem solvered.

Thanks for the replies guys!
Quin you were right, I turned of Catalyst AI and everything works like a charm now...

Now I am curious though, what does AI do to screw up the display so much?

Cheers,

#11856: Next version!

by Nixot on 03/20/2009 22:03

The next version of Sauerbraten seems it's gonna be on a par with Doom3! When's it going to be released?

reply to this message

#11857: Re: ..

by Quin on 03/20/2009 23:04, refers to #11855

Catalyst AI is trying to "optimise" Sauerbraten, but its "intelligence" doesn't know how to do that, so it makes guesses - very bad ones at that. I first noticed it when hw mipmapping was being introduced.

#11861: Why is the download so slow?

by SuperGeek on 03/22/2009 04:50

Seriously though, last time I tried it was about 10 hours long. And it still didn't work. I'm not entirely convinced that the file was just corrupted, and I don't want to have to download it again. Has anyone else had problems running the CTF edition on Linux?
