#4933: Re: error

by kernowyon on 09/27/2005 20:07, refers to #4930

The problem is sound related. Thats why it segfaults straight after loading sound.
I assume you have SDL_mixer? If not, install that.
If it still complains, try setting the system to hand back the control of the sound card more quickly. E.g if using KDE, go to the KDE control centre, select Sound and Multimedia or whatever its called, then Sound System. In there, set the Auto Suspend to as low as you can - 1 second I think it is. Apply and save.
That should sort it :)

#4936: Re: short freezes

by Tommo on 09/27/2005 22:04, refers to #4920

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately when the freeze occurs I cannot reach another terminal window - seems cube has captured mouse and keyboard events. I can only Ctrl-Alt-Bspace to reach a command line but by then the X server is shut down.

#4937: Word of Praise

by Dread_nact on 09/28/2005 15:34

Just wanted to say what a great job you guys are doing!

I downloaded an early release of Sauerbraten about a year ago and was definitely intrigued. Today I tried the latest version and I have to say I was completely astounded. Its great. Cube was great, but this is truly great!

The Open source community is truly indebted to you, and you guys should all get a medal. I only wish cube and sauerbraten received more exposure for you hard work. I look forward to more.

short of double checking you have SDL_mixer - then not really :(
I would certainly check SDL_mixer is there - without it,you would get the error you are describing.
Enemy territory is not likely to use SDL_mixer I would think - it certainly isn't used in RTCW, which is the same engine.

#4940: Spawning new items-- am I doing it right?

by SunDog on 09/29/2005 17:50

I'm trying to modify Cube so that some monsters drop ammo, health, or armor when they die. At first, I thought it would be a simple matter of calling "newentity" when the monster died. When I did that, I found that the objects would appear, and that I could pick them up and they would disappear, but they wouldn't do anything. For example, picking up rockets would give me any additional rocket ammo, picking up armor wouldn't boost my armor or change its color, etc.

After a few hours of digging, I figured out that the object was being spawned client-side, but not server-side. After some trial and error, I found a solution that worked: Called "newentity", then set both "notgotitems" and "senditemstoserver" to "true". Once I did that, it worked fine.

Although it's working now, I can't help but feel that I'm "programming by coincidence" here, so I thought I'd ask the Cube community for a sanity check. My main question is, are there any hidden "gotchas" from this approach? In particular, would this approach slow down multiplayer? (I'm thinking of implementing something similar for players killed during MP games.) Would it be a good idea to implement a new server message that spawns single items server-side, in order to conserve bandwidth? Or is sending the whole list of items to the server a relatively cheap operation?

Any information and/or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

#4942: Building on Mac

by macdonag on 10/04/2005 08:18

Hi all - I'm trying to set up an Xcode project for sauerbraten cvs. I've got it building libenet, but when I try to link that with the server app, it fails:

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_enet_list_clear
_enet_list_insert
_enet_list_remove

Now this is a bit weird, since they do seem to be in enet. Even if I link with libenet build from the makefile, I have the same issue. This may be a bit esoteric, but cheers in advance for any help.

#4943: Re: Building on Mac

by macdonag on 10/04/2005 08:39, refers to #4942

I'd like to add, I have got the whole thing building via makefiles (and it runs really fast!), but I'm still interested in getting it going thru Xcode - anyone done that (using proper Xcode projects - not just having it build the makefile - that's cheating!

Cheers

#4944: Need help, reports fast fps but runs slow

by dtzWill on 10/06/2005 00:34

Hopefully this is a simple fix and i'm a dumba$$. Here's the deal--i'm using a p3 500mhz, 128mb ram, w/a rage pro mobility p/m vid card. The game runs, and reports 29 fps while running at default res, which isn't really my problem--bc if i actually GOT 29 fps i'd be happy. What my problem is is that despite it SAYING it's running at 29 fps, any movements/keypresses aren't noticed for abt 5 secs, which is usu the case when it runs w/slow fps. But why does it report inaccurate fps? or am i having a problem w/input? thanx in advance.

Im surprised, cube mods are actually starting to have releases with new code in it. Cube has had mod releases but they never have changed code, so im liking this attitude.

#4946: Re: Building on Mac

by macdonag on 10/08/2005 00:09, refers to #4944

Ok, it took a bit of fiddling, but I've got a half way house setup in Xcode - sauerbraten compiles via a normal Xcode project (so I can debug, etc), but I link in the libenet build with the Makefile provided. I can't be bothered figuring out which single compile flag/switch makes the difference, so I'll take this. Oh, and adding an Xcode-built libenet to the link phase seems to screw up the project permanently - even a clean all and the 'good' libenet don't fix it....

There's something funky going on.

So if anyone wants a recent Xcode proj file, I can provide.

#4951: CUbe screen resolution

by Manuman on 10/13/2005 10:28

Hi everybody,

I wonder how I can change my screen resolution with the lastest Cube's release.
I'm under debian Sarge stable and I can't play Cube in 1024x768 resolution cause I didn't find the place where to fix screen resolution in any of the config files.
My actual screen resolution is 1024x768 but while playing Cube I keep falling back to 800x600 ?
Can anybody help me ?

Thanks
