#9825: How Do I Make A Custom Texture?

by JBridge on 01/06/2008 03:52

I simply need a black texture to make areas appear dark. Doom 3 dark. Can anyone help me?

before you even consider it, /ambient 1 can make most areas seem.... seem significantly darker

To make a texture, you just need to save it in a format supported by SLD_image.
once that's done just add the following into a cfg and execute it

setshader stdworld
texture 0 "path to texture"

/ambient 1? Sorry, but I'm kind of a newb here. I assume it's not a console command, as I tried that.

Also, what formats are supported by SLD_image?

Lastly, my custom maps don't have their own .cfgs; should I make them?

It is /ambient 1.
After you put that in, you need to recalculate lights. The command syntax is "/calclight Q", where Q is the quality from -2 to 3. (Basically, use -1 for previews, 3 for release quality.)

As for the CFGs, you don't need one unless you want to set the skybox, fog, load extra textures, etc.

Yea, but where can I find that Eihrul?
Thanks.

D'oh! THAT'S why nothing was happening. Whoops.

And I DO want an extra texture, so what do I do? Do I simply create a .cfg with only
"setshader stdworld
texture 0 "path to texture""?

By the way, thank Hitaro for the code.

And name that cfg as to have the exact same name as your map. (and put it in packages/base)

The ambient lighting really did the trick! What I wanted was a transition from one area to another, and it worked perfectly.

Thanks.

eihrul, being one of the creators of the game, is bound to be floating around here somewhere. You do not find eihrul, eihrul finds you. ;D

#9836: complete perplexity

by Rabid_Chaos on 01/06/2008 21:41

I recently updated to linux 2.6.23.9-85.fc8. Beforehand, Sauerbraten, Assault Cube, and Cube 1 all worked. Afterwards, none of those worked. Normally what I would do to start any of them is go to the folder, double-click sauerbraten_unix or assaultcube.sh and select 'run', but now nothing at all happens once I do that.

#9837: Trouble with Sauer on Mac Leopard!

by LordVeXoR on 01/06/2008 21:50

I have a brand new Macbook with leopard.

I downloaded assassin edition and when I tried to load a map I had implanted, it would load then freeze my whole computer. It would also crash Sauer if I put my FSAA and Shaders up.

Then I brought over and older version of Sauer (Before summer edition) from my old computer and it does the exact same thing!

Help please! =(

Thanks,
LordVeXoR

You can't =D =D

Do you have a MacBook or a MacBook Pro? Which version of Leopard? Does it only crash with that specific map?

by LordVeXoR on 01/07/2008 02:23

Macbook, not pro and the most recent one I think.
( I got this computer 3rd of Jan 08)
Um no, I tried playing multiplayer and it crashed as well. I haven't really tried much more because I hate forcing my computer off =/.

Thank you so much man ^_^

#9844: Z-Buffer, Stencils and other odd settings...

by Visceral on 01/07/2008 05:38

I've been playing around with some of the more unusual settings and I have a few questions..

First off, does the engine actually do anything if I set my z-buffer or stencils to higher values? I\'m running the game on a 8800gts and I\'ve set the stencils to 32 and z buffer to 8 in the (possibly mistaken) belief that both share the same buffer and it has to be a max of 32 for both. Do shadows in the cube2 engine benefit from a higher stencil buffer or a higher z-buffer?

Bloom: The value I select stays the same, but I have to click on Bloom each time I play the game or enter multiplayer. Is this setting broken or am I doing something wrong?

Finally, blurms and blurskylight. Does these two things have any effect on post-processing that will be noticeable or should I just leave them alone?
