#9448: Quaternions and 6DOF in Cube Engine 2

by GaidinTS on 11/05/2007 23:23

I'm curious, does the Cube Engine 2 use quaternions for rotations, and if so is there a fairly complete math library in the source.

I'm looking for an engine that can do 6DOF, and if rotations are handled with Eular math, then the view suffers from gimbal lock.

I'm just curious if cube 2 would suffer this same problem.

it uses euler angles, but it does not suffer from gimbal lock, as the engine's camera transformations are limited to what makes sense for 1st and 3rd person shooter style cameras, meaning only yaw has full freedom, pitch is limited to +-90, and roll is extremely limited.

There is nothing in the engine that requires quaternions yet, so its not there.

#9450: Crosshair problem

by ignignokt on 11/06/2007 17:43

My crosshair always loads as an opaque white box. My crosshair.png is fine.
Thoughts?

I'm almost done arguing now about the rockets. You'll never change my opinion, but since not many people agree w/ me, I'll leave it alone (after this :P).

Even though the damage values are probably perfectly balanced, the reason the rl feels overpowered to me is just its nature: launching large deadly explosions that don't have to hit to kill.

I now think the best solution would be a slightly longer reload time.

I'm done now...hey at least I tried, right?

Yeah, at least you tried!

I also think a *slightly* longer reload time would be beneficial. The source is right in front of you...

I modded it to see how it feels. It feels good.

"My crosshair always loads as an opaque white box. My crosshair.png is fine.

Correction: it tends to load correctly when I first load the game, but when I change servers/maps it goes to a white box.

Don't judge a book by it's cover, or a program by it's name. :D They actually do have a Mac OS X version, so ha.

http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarosx-3.7.1.tar.gz

It's command line only, but it should still do all the cool things it can do in WinXP.

man zip

-d Remove (delete) entries from a zip archive
...
-df [MacOS] Include only data-fork of files zipped into the archive. Good for exporting files to foreign operating-systems. Resource-forks will be ignored at all.

There is a good Automator-Plugin for the -df Option: Create Clean Archive
http://mikepiontek.com/software/mac/create-clean-archive.html

Save as Finder Plugin and you can create clean zip archives from the Finder. I love it. :)

Also, where do screenshots go by default?

Screenshots go into your Sauerbraten base directory, usually C:\Program Files\Sauerbraten.

#9466: Server, Client communication

by phoenixsux on 11/08/2007 21:06

I am trying to understand how to add new client to server commands.

I created SV_ROUNDCHANGE for a client with admin pass to change the round times. First i used 'ri' in the message string and was getting kicked from the server mod when i was trying the command ("end of packet" or some such.)

So i changed to sending a string and on the server side converting that to the integer and used 'rs' when sending the command. but now the server crashes when it gets the command.

How do i properly construct new SV_ commands for communication from server to client and vice versa?

pointing me to a tutorial i may of missed in the docs would be greatly apperciated.

-Waxy

PS: i'm normaly a VB guy so speaking to me like a 2yr old when you reply wouldn't be out of line. :p

UGH! Lag! i hope it's not double posted
