#14206: Monster Respawns in SP

by cork279 on 11/06/2011 10:14

These forums are confusing, but I'll post my question here, and see how things go :P

My question; is it possible to make enemies respawn in SP mode? You see, I'm trying to make a freeroam zombie survival game in Cube 2 Sauerbraten, but I don't want a countdown (30 enemies left, etc), I want the game to be limitlessly playable. I want each enemy to respawn after 30 seconds, for example.

The game is here if you need more information:

I WAS using PlatinumArts Sandbox, but switched to Cube 2.

You and a few dozens more are hopping for a zombie survival mode but it ain\'t gonna happen, not anytime soon at least.

And.. no, not possible unless you modify the source :P

#14208: Complete and clean export

by unnaemd on 11/06/2011 14:27

After exporting some large piece of geometry into OBJ, I face the problem that polygon wastage is present in exported model, especially on slopes.
Are there any known tools that could be used for exported model optimization/polygon merge/remip/etc.?

Thanks for your response, I was not complaining, just trying to see if others had any experience, and how to go about it, it appears that there are as expected some errors in my lame attempt at coding... I have no real complaints at all about sauerbraten, I mean ffs it's free and it's fun.

#14210: wanting to increase max ammo in sauerbraten

by it9999 on 11/08/2011 11:40

How do i increase the maximum values for maxHealth (greater than 1000), ammo and armour. i have been confused on how to change this.

#14211: Re: wanting to increase max ammo in sauerbraten

only by modifying the source code.

As it's hardcoded, it's not such an easy task to modify this and actually shouldn't be done (as it's considered to be cheating).

Ammo for servers is serversided. last time i checked, there is no way to cheat on servers with over 1000 ammo unless the server is set up to have that (thanks to erik for teaching me that)

however its very easy to modify the max ammo, but i still wouldn't advise it, there is no real point unless you have issues beating the sp modes.

also, i think the ammo is set on a var... i think its max is 1000 unless you make the vars go over 1000, but i could be wrong.

For a limited time you can find books on C++ coding at a bookstore near you while you still have years of youth enjoying new knowledge!

Nature bypassing is cheating...

well put, zamwa.

However, sometimes it helps to to have a place to start when experimenting, so it9999, I'll give you a hint for this:

The file where the weapon coding is located is (I think) game.h, and it is in the fpsgame folder.

Hopefully you can get started from there.

Did you compile a new binary?

If you're on windows, download Code::Blocks with MinGW and install it, navigate to /src/vcpp, open sauerbraten.cbp, right click the project on the left and select Build.

The program will output the binary in /bin folder, and will overwrite any file with the same name.

I got a message like this

"sauerbraten - default" uses an invalid compiler. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
Nothing to be done.

my computer is currently infected and it may of damaged some of the system files. wich is preventing the compile of the src code. anyone who wants to help. send me your email address and i will send you the moddified src code. you need to compile it and email the bin file to me.
