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?

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.

one of my friends eused my computer #9957 in my name.
I have a new friend.

I could've told him to open and read.

I understands what he means though, most of those pads are marked as 'CFG' configuration files.

Not entirely reccomended for opening.

I little daunting to even try too open not too mention possibly corrupting the file and or game.

#9927: autoexec execution?

by demosthenes on 01/17/2008 08:53

Would it be a problem to execute autoexec.cfg in the middle of an SP map?

The reason I ask is that I want to force a rebind of mouse1 and mouse2 in order to have a portal-placing puzzle, but then I need to restore (not just re-bind again) those back to what they were. The easiest I can think of is to execute config.cfg and then autoexec.cfg, which should restore settings to the player's defaults.

So, would doing so cause problems for anyone?

#9928: Re: autoexec execution?

by steve_e on 01/17/2008 09:11, refers to #9927

I've tried this to restore 'defaults' - you will receive an error saying that you can not do a binding, so does not restore the config.cfg binding(s).

If you had the new binding in autoexec.cfg then you wouldn't want to call that again after calling config.cfg anyway.

It does reset other game settings though, so can be useful for some cleaning up just before exit.

#9929: Re: autoexec execution?

by demosthenes on 01/17/2008 09:32, refers to #9928

Well, my idea was to have the keybinds in a GUI that would pop up at a certain point in the level explaining a little about the portal puzzle, something like "click here to start" would bind the keys.

Then I would have a GUI popup at the end that said "click here to continue" which (I hope) would execute config and autoexec.

#9930: Re: autoexec execution?

by steve_e on 01/17/2008 10:14, refers to #9929

So, the key binding is dependent on the variable being set via menu button?

The bindings would have to happen at start-up in any case, and not in game, so whether they were active upon setting a boolean via menu the binding would still be associated and written to the config.cfg at shutdown.

I tried a little test to see whether that would happen: I set a key binding in autoexec, opened sauer and when I closed sauer I ran a script that went:
exec config.cfg
quit

...no error messages as you don't get to see them, but the binding set in autoexec was written to config.cfg despite config.cfg being called before exiting (and hopefully restoring intial settings).

This is why it would be good to test for a keypress rather than binding keys for SP (and other?) games.

#9931: Re: autoexec execution?

by demosthenes on 01/17/2008 11:03, refers to #9930

No, the binds would be set by gui button. Like,

guibutton "Okay, play the portal puzzle" [bind mouse1 [portal1]]

If it works for the portaltest map (which it probably does if they playtested it), then it should work like that. The real question is, will the rebinding of things work via gui button?

#9932: Re: autoexec execution?

by steve_e on 01/17/2008 11:59, refers to #9931

Hmmmm, just looked at the portal .cfgs...

Well, how's that - you can do a bind of a mouse button in game... but not keys... hmmm...

So anyhow, then YES, assigning a clean up script to a menu button to reload config.cfg will return the mouse bindings to what they were... I just tried with my own menu which has a 'quit' button that calls the config.cfg before exiting and the mouse binds from the portaltest.cfg were not written to the config.cfg on exit.

Wow, so I can play with mouse bindings then, just not key bindings in game - that makes things a little more interesting. Cheers.

#9933: ..

Is it possible to run Sauerbraten on multiple Monitors (not mirrored of course)? If so, how can it be done on Mac OS X?

by Quin on 01/17/2008 14:34, refers to #9933

I assume you just use "-wVIRTWIDTH -hVIRTHEIGHT", realise that if you are using a single video card with multi display capability that the second monitor can sometimes (but not always) be unaccelerated.

#9935: Re: autoexec execution?

by tentus_ on 01/17/2008 16:48, refers to #9931

I'm a bit confused. Have you tired out the portaltest maps? The way I rebound the keys was a finishing showgui that had a button to rebind everything that was bound by previous buttons back to the default. I chose to do this because it minimizes the probability of undoing other configurations: lots of people rebind half their keyboard to fit their liking, and I have no right to try and force the original defaults back on them.

I'm not really sure what you guys are saying about not rebinding keys... type /bind E [echo "edit"] and it'll do exactly what you expect. (type /bind e [edittoggle] to undo this binding, btw.) Keyboards are just as bindable as mouse buttons. The only things you can't change are what the commands themselves do: there's no way to make "attack" mean "exec some_script".

#9936: Re: autoexec execution?

by demosthenes on 01/17/2008 22:31, refers to #9935

I have tried playing the portaltest maps, though I didn't use the binds (because I customized them and bound them differently). That is where I got the idea to rebind mouse keys from inside the map - I am planning on using a modified version of the binds to create a portal puzzle in the SP map I'm working on.

However, I wanted to rebind the mouse keys to precisely what they were beforehand, and I figured that executing config and autoexec would set them back to what they were, but I didn't know if that could cause problems for people. I figured that executing config.cfg would catch anything they bound in-game and autoexec.cfg would restore anything else.

You may be able to bind a key using the console, but put the binding in a map's .cfg and the message returned is:
'cannot override bind "E"'

however, a mouse bind in a map's .cfg does not return that message and the binding is performed.

Wow, hadn't seen that before (I desperately searched for a way to get my Wireless Xbox 360 controller adaptor working). Shame it's still 'experimental' though and has a rather complex install process :/
