I've forgotten who the real prax is. Doesn't help that he uses 1800 cookies.

Prax? WHERE ARE YOU!!

#6989: Re: How do I turn on HDR lighting?

by Zamboro on 11/14/2006 08:21, refers to #6985

Thanks, the problem was that I had FSAA turned on which apparently conflicts with HDR.

Hrmm.. no from my understanding it doesn't.. at least for Nvidia cards. I run Sauerbraten w/2xQ AA and it runs fine with all shader settings on max. Including the bloom (which is not HDR).

Is there anyone still developing cube 1?

Cube 1 is so cool... such a shame to let it rust :(

Sauerbraten ist Cube 2, so why still develop Cube 1? ;)

Because, IMO, Sauerbraten is very good, but could not replace Cube.

Looks like Prax doesn't activate the Cookies, so he have to recreate an account at every time :)

#6995: Installing Linux Graphics Drivers

by takua00108 on 11/14/2006 20:05

I've looked all over the Internet, and I can't seem to figure out how to install the neccessary drivers to play Sauerbraten on my newly installed Fedora Core 6 partition.

I have an nVidia GeForce 6200, so I went to the nVidia site and downloaded the driver installation wizard thing. When I ran it, it said I can't run it in X.

After a half hour of looking, I finally figured out how to close X, and then it said I had to be root. I became root, ran it, and another error message came up, can't remember what it was exactly. I'll post it when I get home today.

Am I missing something? Is there an easier, less-brain-cell-killing method to allow me to play Sauerbraten on Linux? (I /can/ play now, but it goes under seven frames per second at minimum resolution, and everything good is disabled.)

I tried googled "+fedora +nvidia" ...
Maybe you can try http://www.fedorafaq.org/#nvidia

It pertains to Fedora5 but I guess it's still a valid walk-through.

You needn't exit X simply because an app doesn't use a graphical user interface (GUI) ... open an xterm, or switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+[F1-F7]) ...

HTH

I\\\'ll be happy to try the tutorial you linked to, but when I downloaded the nVidia drivers from *their website,* the wizard program to install the drivers said it had to be run outside of X, meaning not in an xterm. I tried that. And when I did CTRL+ALT+F[n], X was still running, and it wouldn\'t let me use it.

#6998: Source Practices

by rhys42penguin on 11/14/2006 23:27

Why are there a whole bunch of functions in .h files? Headers should only be for declarations, actual code should be .c or .cpp.

Well, it's been some time since I manually installed them, so sorry for misleading you. Of course - if you simply switch console the X server will still be running - so you interpreted the message correctly, I just assumed you didn't ;-) Sorry!

I looked at the rest of what google found and Fedora6 seems to come with something called "kmod-nvidia" ... try finding out more about that, most modern distros come with nvidia-packages ready-to-deploy - no need for manual installation!

#7003: Re: Source Practices

by rhys42 on 11/15/2006 15:57

That's what I've learned in both professional and hobbyist development. All major software projects (Look at Linux, X, KDE, OpenOffice...) use .h for declarations. Even library headers (take a look at the headers in the UNIX standard libraries, or DirectX, or SDL, or win32 API or whatever) contain nothing but declarations.

heh :)

i once stuck main() in a h, but that was on an old dos C compiler. it probably wont work on modern compilers :)

#7006: Re: Source Practices

by smogo on 11/15/2006 20:12, refers to #7005

Hehe, modern compilers would compile anything.

rhys42, the .h files you are probably looking for are the igame.h and iengine.h. They are the ones that really are .h files ;)

The coding style in here is ... different ..., reminds me of Pascal bits. No offense :D

However, the game is excellent work ! Very enjoyable, easy editing, simply : great stuff.

Keep on good work.
