#9158: ..

by bengreenwood on 09/29/2007 12:57

Drakas, thanks for your reply. But why can't the game come with that stuff ready when you download it? I don't mean to be rude or anything here but a lot of people don't have time to mess around with settings etc. They'd rather it just worked like that 'out of the box', I think..

And about 3), well what's the harm in having the speed as an option? That way everyone's happy. I'm just used to slower DM games, that's all.

Thanks.

Well the issue of working "out of the box" is something that's a little different for everyone - the decision lies with the developers and Aardappel has a very specific vision for sauerbraten.

There /is/ a menu for setting actions to keys already ... with the rather new (not that new though) text-field gui-elements maybe somebody will write up a GUI the way you described ... if you really want it - do it yourself and I bet it'd be gladly accepted ...

I've never seen a game that would vary it's overall speed .. and really .. most of us enjoy the fast-paced action a lot more than crawling through the game ;-)

Sure, ultimately, it's up to the developers, can't argue with that, can only give my 2 cents.

As for making a GUI myself, well, I'm learning to program now actually. Only started a couple of weeks ago, though. I just mentioned it like that because that's how pretty much all FPS games I've played do the control options thing, and it works well.

And Street Fighter 2 is one game where you could change the speed. It made sense because beginners used the lower settings and as you got better, you increased it, obviously.

Cheers!

You can set the gamespeed variable in single player.

As eihrul said, just type "/gamespeed 80" for 80% of the game-speed (after pressing T to talk).

And for your other points: The 3D-menu takes a while to get used to, but you'll love it, it will feel really natural if you give it a shot.
The game is not "ready out-of-the-box" because it is not finished. It is under active development and what we get here are just snapshots of the current status. The monsters look weird because they are old and there are not much people out there who take their time and produce some under a creative commons license. ;)

#9163: Keep on getting disconnected

by add4390 on 09/30/2007 05:53

everytime I go to a server, I manage to stay on for a little bit then I get disconnected. It says it is (Normal) and such. I don\'t know what the problem is. Firewall doesn\'t have a problem with the game.

Hey, when I try to open cube2 on vista it doesn't do anything. At all. Is there something I can do to fix this?

How are you trying to open it? The .bat in the the main folder (probably C:\Program Files\Sauerbaten\)?

Try upgrading to windows 3.1 or MSDOS 6.0

C'mon, Acord, nobody's got the money for such high-end OSes! Only big corporations can afford that.

Read this thread and do what it says, except use the 32 bit processor link (ignore the 64 bit ones):

#9175: Scripting help wanted

by N1NJ4 on 10/01/2007 13:20

Hello peeps, as usual I have questions about scripting in Sauerbraten. Firstly, can someone tell me what "bindvar" does? Secondly, I can't work out why the following code doesn't work. It creates a menu with a list of servers to connect to, but for some reason all the buttons connect to the last server... o_O:


favourite_servers = "action.us.to ga.wemew.com aus.wemew.com"
action.us.to_password = "apassword"
gen_serveritems = [
n = (listlen $arg1)
loop i $n [
sv = (at $arg1 $i)
aliasname = (concatword $sv _password)
password = (getalias $aliasname)
if (strcmp $password "") [
guibutton $sv (concat connect $sv)
][
guibutton $sv [echo concat $sv passwordis $password; serverpass = $password; connect $sv $password] "sauer"
]
]
]
newgui fave_servers [
guititle "Favourite servers"
gen_serveritems $favourite_servers
guibutton "Show master list.." "showgui servers"
]

bindvar is explained in the docs, it's for toggling 0|1 variables via a keypress, like "9" (number key) is for toggling thirdperson.

You need to "@"-ify your aliases inside a CubeScript block ... sometimes you can get away w/o doing it, since it's not overwritten inside the block .. this version should work as intended (although the servers didn't work for me at all)


_favsrv = "action.us.to ga.wemew.com aus.wemew.com"
_favsrv_action.us.to_password = "apassword"
gen_serveritems = [
loop i (listlen $arg1) [
sv = (at $arg1 $i)
password = (getalias (concatword _favsrv_ $sv _password))
if (strcmp $password "") [
guibutton @sv (concat connect @sv)

][
guibutton @sv [echo @@sv password is @password; serverpass = @@password; connect @@sv @password] "sauer"
]
]
]
newgui "Favourite Servers" [
guititle "Favourite servers"
gen_serveritems $favourite_servers
guibutton "Show master list.." "showgui servers"
]

favsrv = [showgui [Favourite Servers]]
