So yeah, since I don't feel like doing a whole lot of testing anymore, I may as well leverage my resources, and shove that responsibility to all of you. Hopefully, this will allow for more updates, and a less buggy engine.

The Format:
-----------
What: A *short* description of the bug / problem.

How: point form of relevant steps to reproduce the bug.

When: revision of exe. OS, video card... yeah I don't know, anything that might be relevant. keep it short.

Detail: any other stuff that might be relevant. like pics. http://www.imageshack.us/ if needed.
-----------

new releases here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/sauerbraten/sauerbraten/sauerbraten/bin/sauerbraten.exe?view=log

for each new version, I will list fixed bugs. you are then responsible to make sure that it really is fixed, and then confirming it in this thread.

!!! NOTE !!!: this thread is not for feature requests, design discussion, bitching, moaning, yadda yadda, etc. there are other threads for that. plus, a forum thread already does not afford great organization. please no garbage.

Keep reports short. I have a habit of skimming large blocks of text.

Focus on the WHAT, not the WHY. There is a tendancy in people to want to be too helpful. They try to diagnose the problem instead of very clearly describing what is wrong. at the very least, keep theories in the detail section.

some examples are below:

last i saw the lighting in aard3 was accurate... for a very small section of the map. the problem is that the light needs to be *REALLY* far away for the angle to appear correct over even a small map like Aard3. it has to be bounds-of-int-datatype far away for a large map. thank god for /entmove :)

rootnis: Those links are to the same screenshot, but the concave cubes are definitely wrong.

yeah, the raycube thing probably has problems... perhaps the lu/lusize variables are getting corrupted or something.. and yeah it might be the cause of the selection problem too...

What: very wired anti-lighting =)

How: /newent light 1000 -100 -100 -100 [on aard3]

When: sauerbraten_2005_06_12

Detail: clamping negative lightmap values to 0 should solve this problem.

a cube surface should normally be flat. If you make it non-flat, you succumb to whatever direction OpenGL decides to fold it.

#191: Anti-lights

by pushplay on 06/15/2005 03:00

Anti-lights are typically a feature. The question isn't why is it possible, the question is why are the results so weird? :)

The effect of anti-lights seem normal untill shadows are introduced:

Negative lights w/o shadows:

Negative lights with shadows:

#194: folding cubes surface

by rootnis on 06/15/2005 14:19

>If you make it non-flat, you succumb to whatever direction OpenGL decides to fold it.

although sometimes the surface looks "ATI style" (like in first pic) and look may vary randomly between thouse two, when moving pointer, physically it performs like in second one all the time.

Problem is
You require knowledge of setting the volume/sounde/tune and etc....

I think I've found a use for Anti-Lights:

Abstract art!

(I wonder if a modern art museum would buy this...)

>(I wonder if a modern art museum would buy this...)

[off topic, sry]

Why don't you create a level full of these views, like a virtual museum?

#199: antilights fixed

by eihrul on 06/15/2005 23:02

Sadly, antilights are now fixed so you won't be able to make abstract art anymore. All they do now is just subtract light. Sorry. :)

by shadow516 on 06/15/2005 23:29, refers to #199

So, no more of this:

http://img244.echo.cx/img244/4601/negativelights6yr.jpg

Oh well.

That gives me an idea though. How about an effect that causes the entire screen to become negative?

http://img21.echo.cx/img21/598/negativesauer6xh.jpg

It would be a cool effect for teleporting and extreme damage...

also something that would be fun is intentional incorporation of the texturelless bug, as perhaps a visor or something (think metroid prime). there'd still be lighting but not textures. i remember someone accidentally did this somehow in cube and it looked really cool.

i did run across a bug a little while ago on an onboard video machine (biostar), which took the textures and turned it into brownish and yellowy patches. looked kinda cool, but ugly as sin. i have not been able to replicate the expirience, it may have been fixed in the newer version of sauer.
