#12264: How to make a map execute something?

by BionicCryonic on 06/12/2009 23:52

I have a map with a .cfg and .wpt. I want the map to find and use those two files when you load it. Is there any way to do this? The .ogz/.cfg/.wpt all have the same name.

You don't need to specify those two particular files. Just put them in your ~/packages/base/ folder with your .ogz and it will automagically find and use them for you. That is, of course, if they are really named exactly the same.

Note waypoints are not loaded until required, i.e. until a "loadwaypoints" or "addbot" command is issued.

#12266: Adding maps/mods/scripts...

how do i do it?

Depends. Maps are usually dropped into the packages/base/ directory. There are a few exceptions (such as the enterprise map). Mods are often standalone, but you need to read beforehand in each case. Scripts vary wildly, depending on their intent.

#12268: well done

by jar on 06/13/2009 12:59

Hi,

I just to return some feed back and acknowledgements. The current version of Sauerbraten has done a couple of great steps towards more stability on my Unix-System.
Whoever puts that much effort in improving this game, Thanks you very much.

That just disables the blood spirts. It does not disable to bits and pieces that fly out when you kill someone.

Incorrect, from weapon.cpp in game::superdamageeffect():

> if(blood) loopi(min(d->superdamage/25, 40)+1) spawnbouncer(from, vel, d, BNC_GIBS);

Turning off 'blood' stops gibs from being created.

How is that possible? My blood setting is CLEARLY off, and gibs are still spawning!

by GoodSMC on 06/16/2009 16:49

Me and Darkwade another long time saurebraten/cube fan are creating a small mod that will not change any of the multiplayer game play.

It is designed to add team weapon HUD and new GUI menus.

so far we have...

Created a new theme

tied trooper weapons to Mr fix it

tied CTF edition weapons to ironsnout

made new skins (now gold and blue)

We would also like to..

tie classic weapons to orgo

tie red HUD to evil and blue HUD to good

We will release it around the end of July.

Sorry, it seems to be a recent change. You will have to wait for the next patch or release.

Revision 1732, Modified Thu May 7 08:58:18 2009 UTC (5 weeks, 5 days ago) by eihrul: made blood toggle affect gibs

#12278: Distortion Effect

by robin1337 on 06/16/2009 20:54

Hello there.
I love distortion effects over heat sources, eg. fire. In Crysis or CoD 4 are heat distortion/haze effects well shown, and now I've wanted to code something similar at Sauerbraten. My idea was to edit the particle smoke (no. 12),to a distortion particle system, which uses a normalmap to distort the view.
But now to my question: How can I use this normalmap to distort the view? Yet I've got a particle system which shows the normalmap as a colortexture. My plan was to put such particles above normal fire particles (no. 0).

Here's what I've got:

#12280: Body Fading

by Joeschmoemama on 06/16/2009 23:06

Hello. I\'m new here, so please forgive me if I\'m asking a dumb question. I\'m a bit sadistic, so I like my battlefields littered with bodies (like Halo). How do I turn off the body-melts-into-the-ground effect? If I do, will it slow everything down considerably. Thanks.

#12281: Re: Distortion Effect

by baby~rabbit on 06/16/2009 23:45, refers to #12278

read framebuffer as texture, apply shader and draw distorted result back to screen. I've actually experimented ages ago - but it seemed a potential performance sink for little visual gain imho.

PS those image links seem broken...

#12282: Normal maps from Blender inverted in Cube2

by Osbios on 06/17/2009 12:22

@robin1337: Your links to you images don't work!


I have a problem with normal maps from blender on my map models. It seems that there are inverted.
Every thing that was going out, is now going in and visa versa.
How do I have to edit the normal map images to get this right?

by Osbios on 06/17/2009 13:47

I found how to correct the normal map. Inverting red does the job. :)
