As usual, feedback SPECIFIC TO THIS RELEASE in this thread! thanks!

* scripting language: every command/block/exp can now return string values (no more use of variable "s", much cleaner code)
* scripting language: reduced allocations a great deal, should execute faster now
* scripting language: can now write X = Y instead of alias X Y for more readable code
* If sauer crashes on a non-programmer machine on Windows, it will now output a stacktrace (both in a popup and the console window) which can be copy-pasted and sent to the developers (do this before you press "OK" to close the program, from the console windows menu).
* added provisional "sendmap"/"getmap" commands for coopedit mode
* explicit sky polies are now outlined in editmode (toggled by "showsky" var)
* now shows names of entities floating in edit mode (in green, closest = red)
* any non-multiplayer games can now be paused (variable "paused", default key F1)
* fixed rockets exploding mid-air if they were aimed at a moving target
* copy/paste now work in coop-edit
* moved all mapmodels into the menus
* new SP respawning system! read "SP Respawning" in game.html
* console language macros now allow code generation (see config.html)
* added customizable file completion (via "complete" command)
* aliases and vars set in map cfgs are now sandboxed (don't persist)
* world shaders can now work with any number of textures (see "texture" command).
* support for specularity maps and glow maps on md2/md3 models (see md2.txt/md3_sauer_howto.txt)
* new "editbind" works like "bind", only the key is only available in edit mode. cleaned up keymap/default cfg files (no more bindings in keymap)
* added triggerable mapmodels (see editref.html for more info)
* removed the z-offset attribute from mapmodel info and ents and moved mapmodel ent skin attribute to mapmodel info (see editref.html)
* added support for full screen pixel shader effects (see setfullscreenshader, and the "option" menu)
* removed obsolete editheight command
* added powerful new heightmap mode! use getheightmap command [default H key] when there is a selection box to activate (see editref.html for more info)
* added selectbrush modifier [default J key] that switches between brushes defined in data/brush.cfg
* added copybrush [default K key] to use current heightmap as brush. see data/brush.cfg for more info.
* editable brushes for heightmap mode. see data/brush.cfg for more info.
* capture gameplay mode fixes
* ip address lookups now use the concurrent resolver
* added redo command [default I key]
* made importcube remip while importing to save memory
* removed some lighting/physics bottlenecks in SP mode
* removed 256 textures per map limit (is now 64k)
* fixed incorrect mapmodel shadows on Windows
* fixed invincibility bug

#236: Gamma fix

by bloo on 07/11/2006 15:00

Here is a mini-tutorial on replacing SDL to fix the gamma problem on Macs.

1) Download SDL 1.2.11.dmg from here: http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.11.dmg

2) Mount the image and open it in a finder window.

3) Go to sauerbraten->sauerbraten->sauerbraten.app Right click or control-click on sauerbraten.app. Select Show Package Contents.

4) Replace the current SDL.framework folder with the new SDL.framework folder from the mounted image.

Thanks to absinth for pointing this fix out.

#238: Missing map files?

by Zundfolge on 07/17/2006 05:12

I downloaded:
sauerbraten_2006_06_11_sp_edition_mac_fixed.dmg

It runs great with no errors on my G4 MacMini except that the only single player map in the sp_maps folder is sauer_sp1-1.ogz, so when you get through the level it is unable to continue.

#240: Re: Missing map files?

by kurtis84 on 07/18/2006 02:29, refers to #238

At the time the files were packaged for the current release, that was the only map completed. Nieb has made a couple more maps, and I'm sure they'll be in the next release package.
