#9933: ..

by SanHolo on 01/17/2008 13:58

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

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 :/

Oh, I see the problem. Put it behind a guibutton, something along these lines:

guibutton "ok" "bind e [whatever]"

I didn't realize you were just jumping straight in on mapload. That would cause problems, Sauer doesn't like that. Odd that it lets you do so with the mouse buttons.

Doesn't work, no matter what values I enter, it defaults to full resolution on my main monitor.

Try this:

#9943: Enemy Territory + Cube 2 = wOOt?

by ezombie on 01/19/2008 00:15

Some of us weirdos have been kicking around the thought of making a community edition of Enemy Territory (the FIRST one). I suggested the Cube 2 engine might be a good base...

This would be a straight port of ETPro gameplay to a standalone open source game, using new 'HD' assets. Nothing too fancy, just better graphics and netcode are what we would be looking for.

by yoopers on 01/19/2008 04:11, refers to #9943

As an avid ET player (when I'm not playing Sauer ;) I hardily endorse the notion of a free version based on Cube 2. Having said that, I have no idea if it would be technically feasible and several comments about the impossibility of vehicles in Sauer would seem to preclude that notion...

#9947: Help Creating New Version

by Titanic12ship on 01/19/2008 04:23

Is there something I can do to help create the new version of Sauerbraten, maybe start adding maps from a list to the menus, or coming up with ideas for new gamemodes and features? I am eager in helping in the development of this great game.

by ezombie on 01/19/2008 05:53, refers to #9945

Well, yes some coding would have to be done of course. But that would be the second half.

We would need scripted movers (they are not actually vehicles), constructables/destructables, and of course the classes.

I thought a good start would simply be to make the six stock maps (with new stuff added perhaps) in Sauerbraten. That would also be a good feasibility study.

Hmm. Sounds interesting.
I guess the best way would be to just start making things, as you say... Anything necessary can be implemented as you go.

#9950: It crashes... New to linux = trouble...

by comingbackdown on 01/19/2008 13:50

I downloaded AssaultCube to my fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10. I went into the menus, and figured out how to start a 1 player vs. bot match. I did so. I killed the bot (I set the skill to \"bad\", and it was. He hit me once, and I hit him enough to leave him on the ground) and soon after, the game went from full screen to a normal window... Then it stopped... nothing... no response... I was seeing part of my desktop, and a window containing the game.

I was left with no option but to reboot.
I did. I tried again. This time, after I set up the options more thoroughly (picked a weapon from the weapons menu, selected a team and a skin, set my name, set my crosshair and mouse sensitivity) it froze again, after I accessed the menu by hitting esc. This time, I could move the mouse, and the player would move, but I couldn\'t do anything even though the menu was up. I scrolled with the mouse wheel, and it would only scroll up, not down to \"quit\" which I was desperately seeking. I tried the virtual console \"ctrl+alt+F2\", but the resolution was far to large to even allow me to read all of the text. I pressed the power button, and it brought up an options screen. I managed to get it to logout. I logged back in, found out how to kill a process, and went to the terminal to test it with Firefox as my victim. the terminal is still non readable as half of it is off screen, and when I hit the key combo that a tutorial told me to use to return to desktop, the characters scrambled and it didn\'t do anything. I have no idea what\'s going on, and I need some assistance... Now I know what it really feels like to be a noob...

That´s the strangest idea I heard in a while.

WHY??
