#9687: ..

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

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.

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!

Vista showed a side-by-side configuration error with sauerbraten, when sauer didn't run on vista. In this thread, eihrul explained what to do to make it run.

#9703: adding dynlights

by hicks on 12/13/2007 22:16

I've been trying to add a dynamic light around the player, but I can't find the vector that stores the player's coordinates.

Sorry to be a burden :(
It's probably in the most obvious place...

reply to this message

#9704: Re: adding dynlights

by MovingTarget on 12/13/2007 22:26, refers to #9703

There is no cubescript variable that stores the player's position, at least not that I know of.

#9705: Re: adding dynlights

by hicks on 12/13/2007 22:30, refers to #9704

oops sorry, I meant in the source code. I think a struct would be defined for the players motion. Guessing it's line 78 physent ents.h. "vec o" looks to be it, but where has this struct been created for the player before so I can just grab the coordinates from there.

#9706: Re: adding dynlights

by hicks on 12/13/2007 22:42, refers to #9705

Actually I think I've just found it. Been searching for days. "player->o"
