#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.

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

Really stupid question, but where does the autoexec.cfg file go exactly?

Ive tried several directories, but it didn't seem to work :/ Do I have to put it in a different directory by any chance, as I am a mac user?

Lets see if I can make this format sensibly..
/sauerbraten/
--- launcher.app
--- sauerbraten/
--- ---- sauerbraten.app
--- ---- data/
--- ---- packages/
--- ---- servers.cfg
--- ---- config.cfg
--- ---- init.cfg
--- ---- autoexec.cfg **here**

However, if you've checked the 'keep personal files separate' checkbox in the launcher, then push the 'open folder...' button and put it in that folder.

#9471: Could not load textures

by strider on 11/10/2007 03:07

Hey all,
I've been trying to get sauerbraten working on my machine all night now and can't pin down what the problem is.

System:
i686 Gentoo Linux
AMD64 cpu
1G RAM
nVidia 6800GT

Basically the program starts, but no textures will load. I've tried unmerging the portage package and installing manually with the same symptoms. Other openGL games are working without a problem including quake4, etqw, legends and others.
All files in the sauerbraten directory have root.games owner/group and I tried changing to myUser.games without any affect. Here's a snip of output to the console:
/usr/share/games/sauerbraten $ ./sauerbraten_unix > loadText

init: sdl
init: enet
init: video: mode

etc etc. Basically it looks like no textures r loading. Everything seems to work in game except that I can't see squat cause nothing has any textures applied;) Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks

#9474: ATI x800

by ignignokt on 11/11/2007 02:59

I\'m using an ATI Radeon x800 and I can\'t control gamma, fx, et cetera (neither in game nor in scripts). It says my card doesn\'t support it. Any way to fix this at all?

#9476: Unbind Keys?

How do I unbind a key??!?!? I can\\\\\\\'t figure it out :(

#9477: Re: Could not load textures

by strider on 11/11/2007 05:54, refers to #9472

Heh, I figured it out. I figured I'd post here in case anyone else has a similar problem. Because I didn't have jpeg, tiff or gif in my use flags sdl-image was compiling without support for those file formats. Added the use flags and reemerged and it's all working now:)
Just in case anyone else has this difficulty figured I'd post the solution.

#9478: Source code mods, what to do what to do

by Anathema on 11/11/2007 05:55

Apologies in advance for longevity
<backstory>
So, I wrote a tiny (197 line) modification to sauerbraten; first cvs, then backported (aka c&p'd) to current (summer) edition; that lets one import m3u playlists into sauerbraten.
Why?
Because it shows the song title for EXTM#U playlists, lets me turn random mode on/off, lets me pick a particular song, string playlists together, delete songs, and hacking default_map_settings.cfg every time I wanna mix my songs up, plus rename the files 1.ogg, 2.ogg ... n-1.ogg, n.ogg was annoying. so here we are, 200 lines later, and I'm happy with it. also, it makes putting music into custom map cfg's simpler (from my perspective).
</backstory>

So, having this little mod that I'm happy with, and I was wondering how to share it. I'm not familiar with cvs (I use git, and even then just on rare occasion), so I'm not sure if there is some simple .diff like file I could make. I went to quadropolis, and they don't (at least, to my searching) have a guide for packaging such a thing, and none of the mods on the first five pages seem to set any examples, which leaves me lost. I would like to be able to share this with other people (don't give a **** about the license), but really don't know how. Which is my question: how/where is the easiest/best way to upload a tiny mod to sauerbraten source code for those who may (or may not) be interested?

If the answer seems obvious to you, please share so it may be obvious to me as well.

#9479: Hosting

Help! I do not know how to host a public server. Could someone please guide me through it? Thanks!

by demosthenes on 11/11/2007 08:30, refers to #9479

I'm sure it's posted someplace already. Have you checked the wiki?

The jist of it is that you open the ports in any NAT you have, forward them to the hosting computer, and start up the server. It's probably slightly more complicated than that, though.

by MeatROme on 11/11/2007 21:30, refers to #9478

Well, it all depends on the scope of the mod so much ;)

If I read your posting correctly you'd probably best package a ZIP with
sauermp3.exe
bin_unix/sauermp3_client
and wherever a MacOS client goes.
datafiles should prolly best reside in packages/mp3sauer/

add launcher-scripts to preset the binary to use and - if required - run a init-script.

add some documentation on how to use your mod!

HTH

In any case, just package away and comments will surely crop up if the PAK can be improved on ;)
