It'd be interesting to see a map which is geometry limited. We have so few of these days. Where we could we've optimized it so its not a bottleneck.

Mcian: Of course it´s always good to keep the texture count low, but since most are 256², it´s ok to use lots of em.

Just be careful with custom textures, keep em small in size (don´t use 1024² or 512² unless it´s REALLY needed, and always test if some can work just as fine on 128² or so).

I believe that the ogro's bounding box is 2.5x3.5 so 3x4 is the absolute minimum. an ogro is about the size of a very short, fat human.

What GPU.

I actually disagree, I get less FPS in Nexuiz and HL2, in fact, the whole source engine lags like hell on nvidia cards:

Thats my 7800GT running CSS, lowest detail, 640x480, 27 FPS.

#5946: Re: State of scripting in Sauerbraten

by MeatROme on 06/25/2006 15:30, refers to #5924

May I suggest splitting up the commands into 3 layers of usage-level -
0 : basic
1 : editing
2 : advanced
That way you can get the user informed about autoexec.cfg and the basic commands to get him going w/o overloading his input receptors with all editing commands and the advanced stuff (rate, loddistance, dumplms, printcube, ...)

About the language docs - apart from writing a basic intro into scripting in general I guess you could put in some basic examples - maybe even tolerate the redundancy of replicating stuff in data/*.cfg - playsong is probably a nice alias to make beginners aware of ...

any time your sauerbraten starts showing such "strange symptoms"
you should send your config.cfg to it's room, to give it a good talking to later on.
damn configs, at their age always rebellious ;-)

If you rename/delete it (read "send to it's room"), the values get taken from data/defaults.cfg at next engine start.
They should be safe for the current release of sauerbraten.
Or you could just overwrite your data/ folder with data/ from the installation ZIP ... that should fixes all else ;-)

#5951: I need a DLL file...

I can't run sauerbarten because I need "DGBHELP.DLL"...

Is it a sauerbraten file? If yes, where could I find it?

#5952: Re: State of scripting in Sauerbraten

by chombee on 06/27/2006 19:25, refers to #5924

Okay. Is there anywhere I can look right now to learn about the scripting language?

I see a section in this page of the docs:

http://sauerbraten.org/docs/config.html

about the 'console language', but it doesn't tell me much.

I want to get an idea if what sort of thing can and can't be easily done with the scripting language. For example, can I script NPC behaviours? Can I script NPC dialogue? What about event-based plot and narrative controls?

If it's not documented yet, is there some part of the source code I could investigate?

Thanks

None of that stuff is in Sauer. The scripting language is mostly for console events and mapping - not really for active event-scripting. If you want that kind of complicated stuff, lookin into the Eisenstern project, which is still in early development.

#5956: Running Sauerbraten on Ubuntu 6.06

by flipthegreat on 06/28/2006 14:16

Hi am i am new to cube aswell as ubuntu. I\'m really missing a FAQ.

Or installation instructions for each linux distro would be really helpfull.

Anyway i have downloaded it, found out i had to install some extra libsdl packages and got it to run.

But now it runs at 2 fps with the following messages in the terminal :
WARNING: No vertex_buffer_object extension! (geometry heavy maps will be SLOW)
WARNING: No shader support! Using fixed function fallback. (no fancy visuals for you)
WARNING: No occlusion query support! (large maps may be SLOW)
WARNING: Non-power-of-two textures not supported!

I downloaded the SP version, there are 2 other versions aswell. I have no idea what it means, nor can i find anything in the documentation about it.
I\'m unable to download any other editions at this moment because of sourceforce maintenance.
So my questions are :
- Can there be a good FAQ and install instruction.
- What are the difference between the different versions
- If i install a different version will it run smooth without warnings ?
- If not: what do i have to install/change to fix these warnings and let the game run smooth ?

Thanks for trying to help but it is not really helpfull. I have a geforce 6800 which supports openGL i think. So how do i install the driver and if i do will it fix everything ?
Still wondering what those different versions are and about the FAQ

This is the Cube Forum, not an Ubuntu Forum, your Q's will be in a FAQ there!
google is your friend

try installing some other OpenGL driven games from the distro you are running, ... since Ubuntu is Debian-derived you'll find some I'm sure.
Get them working first.

Also, you might have an app called "glxgears" to do a low-level test-drive of your card.
