Some very interesting technical information for modelers over at my favorite messageboard ;) Basicly a must read (including those articles linked).

Back on topic... I might be dead wrong about this, but in the last post by CrazyButcher it actually sounds to me like md5s would be faster on Geforce3 and up (especially when dealing with complex meshes) than md3s (Eihrul please read). Wasn't speed issues the main reason why it wasn't considered?

#9607: New freeware game using Sauerbraten

by Mihai on 11/27/2007 11:37

Hi everybody !

It's my pleasure to announce the release of version 1.3 of Marble Arena, a freeware game based on Sauerbraten.

The name probably suggests what it's about. We've insisted more on physics so you'll find different mechanisms, different types of surfaces and all kind of challenges.

We've kept the editing mode because we think it's just great, but made it more user friendly by adding a lot of menus, GUI and in game help.

Every week we're holding a map making contest, with prizes and all, so all those interested can submit their work to our website.

Check out all the details here : http://www.marble-arena.com

Why not open-source ? :(

Hehe, looks nice. There are some glitches on OS X, however. I can't access any menu, and when prompted for my name after the first start, I can't see the mouse-pointer.

Not open source because there are some security measures that we took to prevent cheating in order to keep our online hall of fame accurate.

As for the glitches, are you running on Leopard ? We've received similar reports from Leopard users. Try setting the shader detail to zero.

While you have fixed the problem, just thought it's worth noting that the Nvidia OmegaDrivers are so outdated you'd be insane to use them.

For Windows users I'd recommend the latest BETA drivers available for your card. Never had a problem with BETA drivers, and you virtually need them for new games since Nvidia throw out BETA releases to address performance issues with particular titles.

yea the omega NV drivers are out dated

But the Ngo ones are very good

they gave me a boost of 10-20 fps

They may be, but I wouldn't like to install something that has absolutely no tech support, as stated on their website.

Realism isn't a goal of Sauerbraten.
And please don't double-post...

you\'d want to use /casuticscale to set the size of them, the default value is 100.

To set their speed, the command is /causticmillis, higher values are slower, default is 75

Speaking of screenshots, we should probably update most of them, so are quite dated. If I start retaking the shots with the lasted release, will they be implemented, or is this a no-interest situation?

by SheeEttin on 12/02/2007 00:46, refers to #9621

Page 2 is quite old, but the others are a little more recent...

Some newer screenshots would be nice indeed. I'll take a few if some new ones would be useful.
