Hm, did you mean how to add the grass textures ?

Just have a look into your Sauerbraten/packages/dg directory.
Choose a texture and remember its correct filename.

Ingame, you can add textures using "/texture 0 dir/filename.jpg", for example:

/texture 0 dg/trail_lg.jpg"

To add the textures that you like permanently into a map, you´ll have to change the map´s .cfg - file.
You´ll find information about this and all other questions here:

http://www.sauerbraten.org/README.html

The cvs folders are folders from the "cvs" - "Concurrent Versioning System" - where the most actual version of sauerbraten is being managed. It´s the "work in progress" version wich has the lastest features, while they are not 100% guaranteed to work or complete (but usually do). Try at your own risk so to speak. To get the cvs version and thus to see grass you need to "check out" from cvs. (downloading the actual version) Mind you´re not be doing anything with those cvs-folders in your gui-edition folder (!) .. For info on how to use cvs and check out sauer from it, see the sourceforge page of sauerbraten, they have more info. (in "files" iirc).

You need to look at the link supplied in post #56 to learn how to do a cvs checkout. The two command lines you see on that site are what you need to use in a cvs client to checkout sauerbraten. If you are running a windows OS, you'll need to download a cvs client of some sort...basic command line cvs.exe will do fine for anonomous checkouts.

Once you have a cvs version of sauer, read post 2 and 3 to learn how to add the grass to a map.

NOW, if you cannot put these bits of info together to get this working...please give up game editing. People generally don't like stepping others through something thats been doc'ed, and asked so many times.

Okay, i understand about adding the grass config, but do they mean to add it into the maps own config file?

In the map config file:

texture 0 "texturepath/texture.jpg"
autograss

......much bitterness......

First of all, the grass DOES sway.

Second of all, do you have ANY idea how complex a weather and time system would be?

In alot of instances, it is up to the mapper to tweak the more aesthetic parts of texturing and lighting. For edges (near paths, etc), have a repeat of your grass texture without the 'autograss', and outline your areas with that one.

Example:

texture 0 "texturepath/texture.jpg"
autograss
texture 0 "texturepath/texture.jpg"
