#12133: Crashes in new OSX

by Zarrastro on 05/13/2009 15:42

I just updated to MacOS X 10.5.7 (Last One), and Sauerbraten keeps crashing whenever i try to switch to Edit mode or while navigating through the menu.
I would like to know if you are correcting this issue, if you are aware of it...

Thanks

You don't need to pull the plug of your iMac, press CMD + ALT + ESC twice and you're good.

See the bug reports thread about the information required to report a crash... we simply have no idea otherwise...

#12138: Wikipedia

by tentus_ on 05/14/2009 19:04

Has anyone else noticed that both Cube and Sauerbraten are pending general notability deletion on Wikipedia? You'd think that 20,000+ downloads for just the newest version would qualify it as "notable". (see http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102911&package_id=110363 and click "options" and enable the Downloads column).

Fixed.
Not sure why they were tagged, but given the media coverage (the length of the references on each page, for example), they qualify as notable.

Thanks for not searching the forum first :\

As has been said before; add bots, or type /dropwaypoints 1 - then run around the level.

#12146: Licensing

by velociostrich on 05/16/2009 02:23

Now it's probably been asked about a hundred times before--in what form I don't know because I failed to find anything with the magic of Google--but I'd like some license clarification:

I understand that the code is under the zlib license, but the readme (http://sauerbraten.org/README.html) makes it seem as though I can't just remove the non-free assets as a base from which to modify the engine, rather, that I'd have to checkout the subversion trunk: "The game is freeware, you may freely distribute the archive and/or installer unmodified on any media. You may re-compress using different archival formats suitable for your OS (i.e. zip/tgz/rpm/deb/dmg), any changes beyond that require explicit permission from the developers."

I guess I can understand the thought behind "sauerbasic" now.

#12147: Re: Licensing

by Quin on 05/16/2009 02:55, refers to #12146

You can do what you like with the code, just not the media; reading further from the same area in README.html:

If you want to produce new content with the Cube 2 Engine, you have to be aware that the source code may be Open Source, but the game and the media it consist of have their individual licenses and copyrights. This means that you have roughly 3 options:

* You may produce new content for the "Sauerbraten" game, for example as a custom map (.ogz/.cfg/textures etc). Contributing content to the original game is most welcome, and the most productive way of working with the community.
* If you want to create your own gameplay beyond what you can do with a map, the best way to do this is as a "mod" (same as above, but with new executable that incorporates your gameplay), that requires an existing install, and installs only the new files you created in parallel to the existing files.
* If you insist on making a standalone game based on Cube 2, do realize that only the sourcecode is yours to use freely (if you abide by the ZLIB license, see below), while the media is not. You can't simply redistribute the entire package with your modified files, as the majority of game media is not yours to use freely (it is made by many authors with a variety of licences and copyright restrictions). Unless you have explicit permission from the authors, or the readme says explicitly "may be used for any purpose" or similar language, it will be illegal to include in your standalone game based on the engine (you may not assume that just because a file has no explicit license, that it is free of copyright). Therefore, if you wish to produce a standalone game, be prepared to make many of the maps, models, textures, sounds etc from scratch yourself.

In this sense Cube 2: Sauerbraten is similar to games like Quake (its code is Open Source, but its media is not), it is a game that is meant to be added to, not copied and used as a template. Sauerbraten is not meant to be a quick game creation kit, it is a game.

If you wish to use the source code (ZLIB license) in any way, read the src/readme_source.txt file carefully.

#12150: A multiplayer project like Lineage

by Anyeos on 05/17/2009 08:59

I want to give all of you the idea of making a multiplayer game like Lineage but in first person.
I'm programmer, some art and sound designer, and likewise.
I have plans to lead this proyect (the Lineage like).
I invite all of you to join this proyect and contribute if you like.
The idea is too earn money. So we can put a server and sell items (with real money).
The gameplay will be like lineage: You must kill a lot of monsters and gain exp points.
You can use spells and all things just like lineage.
The main idea is to make a funny game but with the possibility to earn money too!
We need to code a good dedicated server for that purpose.
In a few days or weeks I will start the proyect and I will put a link here. Meanwhile i let all of you think about the idea and put some answers here.
I still need a name, so ideas are wellcome.

Thank you!

Bye!
