#9138: hmm

by ATIRULE on 09/27/2007 00:37

well if i where u id look into a half way decent gpu the AtiM200 is not for gaming by any school of thought. a cheap gpu that would be like x50 times better than what u have can be picked up online for less than 70.00Us
I have a gf6200 that i have over clocked and it runs most maps @60 fps max shaders I payed 64.98us on ebay the integrated gpu's are made for office use and it would most likey be worth the $$ even if u don't game a lot

sauer is best enjoyed cold and fully with shader

and ati have a history of issues with games go nvida if u can :P

It non-trivial to replace the GPU in a notebook. Check your facts first next time.

#9140: Shuddering sound

by SheeEttin on 09/27/2007 03:36

Today, for some reason, sound started acting up on me. Every so often, the music will play about an eighth of a second, then an eighth of a second of silence, then another eighth of music for several seconds.

I searched like a good little user, and the only thing I found was a suggestion to tweak soundbufferlen (without an explanation of what it does or how I should tweak it). I tried several base-2 numbers, including the extremes (128 and 4096), but the effect was exactly the same.

The only change I can think of that I recently made to my system was that I updated my kernel (security update only, not a new kernel), but recompiling Sauer didn't make the problem go away...

Anyone have any suggestions?

I only notice that when I leave iTunes or Audacity active, so make sure you aren't running some sort of sound app in the background.

#9145: Slow FPS

by markg on 09/27/2007 14:52

I'm running the game on Vista and I'm getting 1-3 fps. The game starts up well, but I don't know why the FPS is like that. I've been reading previous posts and I think I've done all I've can to try solve the problem but I just can't figure out why.

Can anyone help me with this?

We'll need to know your CPU/GPU/MEM before we can really help you.

You are using software rendering, i.e. you don't have an actual working OpenGL driver installed.

well there is a way, but not for multiplayer yet. You've to use a trigger and when you walk on them you can execute any command you want. But it isn't possible in multiplayer (yet *hopes*).

Well, it's gone away now, so if it occurs again I'll know what to try. Thanks.

#9150: Wwise project

by modem on 09/28/2007 01:51

Audiokinetic's Wwise 2007.1 software was packaged with a sample project that was Cube + Wwise project files. I'm just wondering if there's any way I can get ahold of that again? (Audiokinetic no longer offers it)

Or, alternatively, any other audio project files B) I think I saw that you're using the FMOD engine in the releases that are up for download now.

Yo.. FPS aint the problem anymore. On my 200m I'm running at 60 fps now. That isn't my issue.. my issue is that in edit mode the white boxes that appear around a object when you select it.. like the groudn to shape it... is all buggy looking.

My fps is perfectly fine lol

Can you take a screenshot so we can tell what you're talking about? "Buggy looking" is not a very good description.

#9154: My First Impressions

by bengreenwood on 09/29/2007 06:31

Hi.

I had a quick go on Sauerbraten, and I like it, but there a few things.

1. I found the 3D menu a bit disorienting. I found out you could change it but I think it would be better starting in 2D.
2. It would be easier if there was a key config menu where each action was listed and there was the assigned key next to it (that you could change), like in most FPS games.
3. I found the single player games a bit too chaotic, with loads of weird aliens running about etc. I'd prefer it if they were more like your standard DM games.
4. It's a bit too fast for my liking- maybe there could be an option to change this? Like Game Speed: Fast, Medium, Slow etc.?

Don't get me wrong, I like it, especially the Quake style maps and the weapons. And it looks brilliant.

Thanks.

#9155: Playing Standalone mode, second level

by lowededwookie on 09/29/2007 07:10

Okay, not sure if this is the place to post this but the layout of these forums are a bit weird.

Nonetheless, I'm having trouble on Level 2 of the standalone version of Sauerbraten.

I only seem to succeed in going around in circles. I figure I'm supposed to find all the switches but I can only seem to find two and there only seems to be two devil creatures that I can see of.

I also find this kind of pit with a door in it but I can't open the door thus I can't get out of the pit.

Am I missing something or has this level not actually been completed?

1) /gui2d 1
2) /bind "KEY" "ACTION"
3) SP is outdated, you'll have to wait
4) How can it be too fast? :P Sauer is sloooooow. If you play Warsow you'll know why
