#11897: Re: Wings?

by tentus_ on 03/27/2009 17:44, refers to #11896

Man, a flying mod would be pretty sweet... I think the sauer engine would lend itself to that very well, being based on 6-sided geometry.

Ah. Quad damage makes sense. So the next time I see a pig with wings, it would make sense to get out of the way, rather than pausing for a photo-op?

btw, huge improvement on the weapons department in the newest svn.
Just the anims are a bit slow (muzzleflash ist shown too long for example).

Can you make ragdolls movable, when they are already dead?

#11902: Camera movement

by maximusw00t on 03/30/2009 21:09

One thing i have always wanted to know is if there is anyway to move where the 3rd person camera is placed, i know there is a way in blood frontier. but i love sauer so much more. so i wanted to move th camera to a over the shoulder look like in gears of war or mass effect.

so if there is a way please report back if not then tell me anyways x.x

#11903: slomo death

by maximusw00t on 03/30/2009 21:14

just an idea i had a while back but decided it would be very cool because of the dying animation, but now that there is ragdolls this could be either annoying or cool.

what would you think

With kernel 2.6.29 released last week , I though I'd like to share an update to my intel graphics on linux experience:

Good news: Either mesa-7.4 or xserver-1.6 fixed the see-through-walls (because I ran sauer before upgrading the kernel). In conjunction with kernel 2.6.29 and KMS, 3D/video playback/OpenGL is much better in general.

Disappointing (but not bad) news: Sauerbraten's FPS didn't have a significant boost, but I think there was one (a few fps higher). On map mach2, I can range from 30 fps max inside to 12 fps outside with "medium" graphics 1024x768 resolution. Didn't do a thorough test before kernel 2.6.29 though, just based on feeling.

So I think sauerbraten has improved with these new intel technologies, even if it is very slight. At least I can play again :D

uh..He was nice enough to respond to your question and helpful enough to point you in the right direction.

You have to mod the source yourself to get the functionality you require. When you've finished, feel free to upload your work to Quadropolis for others to review and perhaps improve on.

by a~baby~rabbit on 03/31/2009 01:16, refers to #11910

You said that blood frontier has the camera functionality you need - so there is the possibility of moding sauer with the relevant code from it. In which case asking the blood frontier developers might be a good way forward.

Of course this is non-trivial if you're unfamiliar with the code...

by a~baby~rabbit on 03/31/2009 01:42, refers to #11911

-yawn-

src/engine/rendergl.cpp::recomputecamera()

Look for the line that says, "camera1->move = -1;"
add a new line under it, "camera1->strafe = -1;". Basically it's saying how the camera is to be moved from the player position.

Can't do this because it changes the crosshair's location in 3D space, the stuff in BF has kludges to reorient the camera/worldpos.

#11915: Re: Camera movement

by Quin on 03/31/2009 07:16, refers to #11914

It's a major modification that actually breaks the network protocol to do correctly. It's not something that can be done (well) without getting the devs themselves to do it. There is some minor interest in it, but don't really expect it any time soon (or at all). These are First Person Shooters, as a result Third Person is not really very well supported or recommended (even in Blood Frontier, Third Person is not so crash hot).

To be perfectly honest, nobody is gonna write code for you. Your best place to start is probably http://www.gamedev.net/
