On Linux, where do saved map files live? I'm trying to find out where my "savemap" results went from coopedit...

#9907: Linux files

by MeatROme on 01/15/2008 00:41

since two releases sauerbraten creates
~/.sauerbraten
I find this VERY sensible;
e.g. modified/additional content - for me - now lives only in this folder ... made switching to the "assasin" release so wonderfully easy :)

So for
#9944 : iggy
and
#9946 : Kira
try looking in that folder!

#9909: help with gray screen

by imadoofus123 on 01/15/2008 03:22

I hope this is an ok place to post this.
sauerbraten was working yesterday, but now it just loads and gives me a gray screen. I can still shoot and the music is playing, just that the screen is blank. the odd thing is that when I log in as a different user it works fine. I'm using ubuntu gusty with an integrated intel gpu. cube 1 also works fine, although it crashes fairly regularly. also the image that goes below the loading bar thing is gone so I'm thinking it might be something with mesa. it gives no errors.
if this isn't an ok place is there any sort of help forum for these sorts of things?
thanks

The Xbox 360 controller doesn't have any Linux drivers (yet) so I'm assuming you're on Windows.. no need to mod Sauerbraten, or any other games. Just download and configure 'Xpadder'. Lets you bind your controller buttons to mouse movements and keyboard presses.

So obviously you just bind the right thumbstick to mouse up, down, left, right and the left thumbstick to WASD (and then all your other buttons).. works for me. But there's no point since a mouse and keyboard is superior to a controller any day of the week.

Another alternative is PPJoy, which has a fair number of applications. I use it in conjunction with GlovePIE to use my Wiimote and Classic Controller.

Read the readme's.

They're not application extensions.

I should have asked the first time i edited stuff and nearly got sued by the legal counsel.

Whoa, nearly wound up in court, its always best to take heed and bear caution.

If in doubt just ask, its one way of doing things or you can just dive in head first.

Dont feel too bad matey, if i got drunk and said you could have my missus for the night, then woke up in the morning on the ground to find you in bed with my missus, that doesnt mean
i wanted you to shag my missus does it.

I think you need another coffee or a good night sleep.
Which ever comes first.

Cause your missing alot of stuff you already have (in cube folder) that you are asking questions about.

Yep. You must read it all. All of it.

No offence i used to be the same.
Never did read the books for english class in second form.
Just looked them up on the net.
Piece of cake.

Say, perhaps you need a new pair of reading glasses?

As if the manner of speech wasn't a dead giveaway, then the names, then the IP address... you really want to start laughing, but it makes you sad too.

Poroc: textures are licensed individiually, or as relatively small sets. Read the readmes on each set before making any edits, and be aware than any edit to a resource will affect the entire game.

Is sauerbraten multi-threaded? If so, how many threads does sauerbratten use?

#9923: Need help in Sauerbraten

by tyros on 01/17/2008 02:15

I\'m working on a map and I want to delete some extra stuff. I mean when you start a new map it\'s always square shape. But if you look at the map metl4 or some others from the above, they all have different shapes (just the map itself and nothing more). How do I completely delete the extra cubes I don\'t need?

#9924: Re: Need help in Sauerbraten

by tentus_ on 01/17/2008 02:20, refers to #9923

One common way is to turn the outskirts of the map to be kybox textured, or just push cubes away until you just have what you need. Hoever, I'm fairly sure that the best thing to do is to level out the outskirts of your map, so that there are as few polys as possible. If the player can't see it, it doesn't really matter what it looks like, just so long as it's simple as possible. This is why indoor maps have often been "filled in" so to speak, sp that there's no extra polys that the player can't see above them.
