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:

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.

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

Abstract art!

(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. :)

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.

Actually i like that idea how did you did the screen to become blue?
It is a very cool effect for ice caves.

Good they are fixed :)
Looked kinda intresting, yes, but no practical use at all.

Jean Pierre: He inverted the colours of that image with an image manipulation program.

Ooops, I wanted to report on my z-fight problems:

My graphics card (gf fx5600) seems to be locked to 16-bit depth buffering when running 16bpp colour depth.

On 32bpp colour depth the z-fighting is gone,probably runs the z-buffer with 24bit then. Kills 30% or more of my fps :( oh well..

X runs on 24bit depth by default (afaik), so they didn´t show up there in the first place.

#206: Re: antilights fixed

by jean pierre on 06/16/2005 13:55, refers to #204

Oh how boring >:(
But yes :P Aard can possibly make magic lights that makes the screen looks like ice caves,lava caves,deep water places and alot of these i love this idea.
