#15239: left handed hudguns

by lefthandpath on 12/27/2014 14:15

Hi do you have any plan about adding left handed hudguns for left-handed guys ?
If you're not, could you please suggest me where to start to make them ?

Thank you very much!
I love the game but really miss the above feature.

PS: Hate right handed hudguns... I prefer to play without hudguns than with right handed one's .

I guess when you know some C++, you could try to tinker around in the fpsgame/render.cpp. With 400something lines it is fairly short compared to some of sauers other source files, such as the fpsgame/client.cpp with whopping 2000 lines.

Thx a lot. I know some C++ but I'm wondering if there is some 3d model file that one can edit with some graphic editing / animation editing tool.

In packages/models you can find the folders of each playermodel. Every playermodel has their own hudguns subdirectory, as the hudguns also include arms n stuff.

#15243: autoexec for exiting

by Drarrhat on 12/31/2014 01:42

When I close Sauerbraten, it adds the line: loadcrosshair "datacrosshair.png" 0 to config.cfg. Can someone tell me how to prevent it from writing this line or to change it to something else?

Use an autoexec.cfg file which overwrites the config.cfg file at start up of Sauerbraten. You can put any command from the config.cfg into the autoexec.cfg, but that's often not preferred. Rather just only copy paste the original lines of loadcrosshair into the new file.

I know this isn't really solving the problem, but rather work around it.

Thanks, but it didn't work. If loadcrosshair is in config.cfg the crosshair becomes blurry (it's a white dot with a black border).

No, hou should specify it in your autoexec.cfg

I know, I did that. If I put the loadcrosshair lines in the autconfig and delete them from the config, they load perfectly. If the loadcrosshair lines are in the autoconfig AND the config, the crosshair that loads is blurry. And the problem is that Sauerbaten writes the loadcrosshair settings to the config every exit.


(A temporary fix is adding the lines to autoexec.cfg, deleting the lines from config.cfg, and setting config.cfg to read-only. But this makes it a pain to change the settings, and things like "reconnect" don't work.)

Who is that lady who makes the voice announcements? You know, those whole "base lost" or "health boost in 10 seconds" stuff.
Is it the same voice as the one who did it in e.g. CTF edition, just terrible distortion?
Which soundpack do they come from, if any?

Is there some default keybind that clears the console? Today it mysteriously emptied a buncha times for no reason...

Hi! Maybe you pressed KP +.
KP- for console history, and KP+ for reset.

#15251: Re: ..

by Papriko on 01/10/2015 21:50, refers to #15250

Nah, KP+ and KP- are scrolling binds for me. One goes up, the other down.
My console was actually empty. I could not scroll anymore...

#15252: Re: ..

Errr, I mean scrolling up and down in the console, not scrolling like scroll wheel.

My guess is you have console warnings turned off and went through a sound entity without a cfg registering the file for it. The only stores a limited number of messages, and since "unregistered sound" messages still make it in, only invisible, they empty the entire console almost in an instant.

#15254: Re: ..

by Papriko on 01/12/2015 16:56, refers to #15253

Nah, it was on the default maps. I was speccing insta matches.
Also, I have almost everything on, I actually see those unregistered sound messages.

But, now that you say it... There were a whole lotta bots around. Maybe the tons and tons of "blabla fragged blabla" did it...

#15255: keeping teams when a new map is loaded

by hypernova^ on 01/14/2015 23:22

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the players on the same team when a new map is loaded. It's a bit hard to organize team matches without this :))

#15256: Whats up with banning?

by kammy on 02/01/2015 12:31

What's up with servers banning for "cheating" so quickly, and without actually investigating if the "hacker" is legit or not?

I've been B& from venice inferno, and a few other servers already... It's quite irritating because it almost feels like I have to intentionally play badly to not raise suspicion.....

#15257: Re: Whats up with banning?

by Papriko on 02/01/2015 14:32, refers to #15256

Depends. There is a fully automated banning (or at least kicking) for a very few hacks, speed and jumphack in particular. When you move too fast, you get disconnected with a "message error".

For the rest it is just people kicking ya, but there isn't much that can be done. The serverLIST is hosted by the official forums, the actually connected servers are hosted by private people.
They basically have house right and can ban you for the most fucked up things when they want. Technically, they could even ban you for shit like "your username may not contain an E" or "I don't like your playermodel" or "screw you". It is THEIR server afterall.
This also includes butthurt and accusing you of cheating when you don't.

#15258: Re: Whats up with banning?

Probably the best thing to do is to play with competitive players. They can usually be found on clan-operated servers and psl.sauerleague.org servers. The only people who would ban you if you're not cheating are newbies who don't really know how to play. For example, I once got banned for 'aimbotting' when my acc was only ~40% and 'speedhacking' because the other guy didn't know you can bunnyhop. Typical pub insta stuff ^_^

ffa ftw :D
