Thanks man. I worked very hard on them for about a year. I attempted to work on sounds but eihrul in his infinite wisdom ordered me back into my cage to work on more models. On the bright side I can have water today. ;P

Aard has stated that he's not in support of keyboard-only control schemes... his logic is that people should go ahead and learn to play with keyboard and mouse, if I recall correctly.

However, I believe dbox's joystick mod allows you to do so. Try here:

Of course you should learn to use a mouse. It\'s infinitely superior (ok, just superior) to kb-only, js, gp or (God forbid) touchpad for fps\'s. Only reason you should use anything else is if you\'re stuck on a console, which sauerbraten ain\'t.

Or if you\'re playing, say, Doom 1. But that doesn\'t count.

Damn straight. Even if you COULD get a keyboard only scheme working, you must realise that Sauerbraten isn't designed to work with such a scheme - for example, in Doom it had a degree of autoaim so you could shoot things above or below you. Sauerbraten has no such feature. Not to mention how badly you'll be destroyed while playing online.

Maybe he's making a machinima film and just wants some better camera control...

#9685: CUBESCRIPT help needed!

by Hirato Kirata on 12/12/2007 13:58

I've been trying to make a GUI that'll list skyboxes exactly in the way that the loadmap gui does for maps. And is equally easy to update.

I ended up with the following code, and there's apparently a huge flaw in the genskyitems alias. what the flaw is, and how to fix it, I don't know. Regardless of the menu entries it creates, they all only have one command associated with them, /loadsky ratboy/skyboxes/coward. Strangely enough, the showskyshot alias works completely fine. so, anyone know what the problem is?



genskyitems = [
n = (listlen $arg1)
loop i $n [
add-skybox1 = (at $arg1 $i)
title = $add-skybox1
path = $arg2
guibutton $title [loadsky (format "%1/%2" $path $title)] "sauer"
]
]

alias showskyshot [ guibar; guiimage (concatword (format "packages/%1/" $arg1) (at $guirollovername 0) "_ft.jpg") $guirolloveraction 4 1 ]]

skyboxes = "black evilsky morning" //genskyitems1
socksky = "desert emerald frozen frozendusk mars nightball valley" //genskyitems2
staffy = "staffy" //genskyitems3
dash = "moon" //genskyitems4
blindabuser = "blindasky" //genskyitems5
aftas = "orbe" //genskyitems6
ik2k = "iklake" //genskyitems7
ratboy = "coward" //genskyitems8

newgui set-skybox [
guitext "you know the drill, just guide your cursor over the tabs"
guitext "if you see one you like, just click it, and it'll load"
guitext "a preview of the _ft image will display in the bottom left"

NVM, I found the answer. seems concat was needed. heh. anyways, the code changed from

genskyitems = [
n = (listlen $arg1)
loop i $n [
add-skybox1 = (at $arg1 $i)
title = $add-skybox1
path = $arg2
guibutton $title [loadsky (format "%1/%2" $path $title)] "sauer"
]
]



TO




genskyitems = [
n = (listlen $arg1)
loop i $n [
add-skybox = (at $arg1 $i)
title = $add-skybox
path = $arg2
guibutton $title (concatword "loadsky " (format "%1/%2" $path $add-skybox)) "sauer"
]
]

if anyone is interested

Sounds like a good addition to the edit menu.

Now we just need a automatic map.cfg write option :)

Not to mention the fact that there's no limit to the amount you can turn. You can do a 360 in 0.00001 secs in Sauerbraten, with a simple flick of the wrist.

#9690: Graphics cards etc.

by Developer on 12/12/2007 18:58

Hello,

I am thinking of developing using the Cube 2 engine, and I was wondering:
What sort of graphical support is available for advanced graphics cards? I am thinking advanced dynamic lighting, textures, shaders etc. on a Geforce 8800. How can I use the engine to make the most of this?

And:
Is there any sort of compatibility with other modelling programs such as Autodesks 3ds max? Am I able to make something in this and put it in the game?

Thanks

#9691: Re: Graphics cards etc.

by jbuk2k7s cookie has gone on 12/12/2007 20:13, refers to #9690

Sauer has support for normal, parallax (bump), glow, environment and some others that I can't remember; mapping, and new shaders for the game can be written in glsl (i think).

Any 3d program can be used to create models for sauer, so long as it has support for exporting the quake3 or 2 (md3/md2) format.

One of the devs might be able to help you out more than me here.

by SheeEttin on 12/12/2007 21:16, refers to #9691

More detailed information on the shaders here: http://sauerbraten.org/docs/editref.html#shader

There is also possible support for the MD5 model format sometime in the future.

by SheeEttin on 12/12/2007 21:38, refers to #9686

Uh, wouldn't it be easier to have a list of skyboxen on the left and a skyshot on the right, like with the maps?

Also, instead of the way you've got it there, perhaps a list like
skyboxes/morning
skyboxes/black
staffy/staffy
would be better, both easier to read and change and easier to make a list from.

#9694: Latency/Delay Problem

by dax on 12/12/2007 22:34

I\'ve been having a strange delay problem while playing Sauerbraten ever since I installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. Can someone please help me?

When I play, the timing gets all screwed up. I\'ve been accused of cheating because I spawn too early, but from my end everything looks normal! I can hit someone with a rocket, and they don\'t die until up to 10 seconds later. When I pick up an item, it takes between 3 and 10 seconds for it to appear in my inventory (ammo, armor, etc.).

What could be causing this? I\'ve tried connecting to my network via three different network adapters and that doesn\'t change anything.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

#9695: Re: CUBESCRIPT help needed!

by Hirato Kirata on 12/12/2007 22:37, refers to #9693

relax mate, my cubescript is excellent. I'd dare call myself one of the best there currently is.
Anyways, there was an alias named skyboxes, which looked like this

skyboxes = "morning black evilsky"

Now here's the beauty of it, if another skybox was added, and placed in /packages/skyboxes/ I can just like change it to, exactly like they do with the maps. Which is where I derived the code from btw.

skyboxes = "morning black evilsky new-addition"

now on the positioning

guilist [ //goes right now
guilist [ //er... now it's going down
genskyitems $skyboxes skyboxes
] //closed the list, so it's going right again.
showskyshot
]//Closed the first list, so the preview should appear on the right

The comments will help. This is exactly like the map list generation code. (only I derived it and modified them considerably)


The best I can do in ascii is to say it'll look like this (fixed font for this)

________
/skyboxes\
|________|___________________
|____________________________|
|[ ] Morning | /......\ |
|[ ] Black | |MM....| |
|[ ] Evilsky | |MMM...| |
|[ ] New-addition | \MMM.../ |

Thanks heaps, I'll check out some Quake-compatible programs... I'll see if I can make some announcements on this site when the game is in it's Beta edition.
This could be a while though!

Thanks again!
