I'm a c++ programmer, I know what a nightly build is...

#7223: Re: CVS checkout - followup

by MeatROme on 12/22/2006 01:43, refers to #7222

sourceforge CVS has been known to be inaccessible at times.
w/o further details about the nature of your problem this is the only guess I can hazard - did you follow the sf primer on accessing the projects CVS repository? (link in my prev. posting)

re:cvs or release - haven't seen you post here before, so no clue to your depth of know-how - just checking ;)

#7224: 4-10 fps

by Grizzly on 12/22/2006 07:30

Hi

Today i installed cube.. wonderful. It ran at 120+ fps.

I then download cube2 and install. It runs less than 10fps.

Ive disabled shaders.

my system is
800mhz duron
geforce2 256 32mb ram
384mb system ram
Ubuntu (dapper drake)

I run deus ex on this same computer and its very very smooth in multiplay and single play.

Any tips.

Jeez... that OS flamewar "Linux vs Windows"..

Why cant the OSes just live in peace and harmony with each other? why do they feel the need to completely destroy each other?

I got ~30 fps on standard maps with 1GHz G4, 768 MB RAM and a Radeon 9000M, 64 MB. I doubt you can get much more than 20 fps out of your system, even with much tweaking.

Sauerbraten is not to be compared with UT-99, more with UT-2004. ;)

I disagree - if you turn down the graphics settings (shaders) then Sauer is visually and performance-wise very similar to UT. The polycounts are comparable, the graphics load is comparable. The thing that gives it 2k4-like graphics and performance is the shaders - which are togglable.

The other UT2k4 features that are processor intensive (vehicular physics, VOIP, complex AI, ragdolls, script-interpretation, etc.) aren't present in Sauer.

I get well over 120 FPS on my 2ghz machine with only partial shaders enabled (except on monstrous maps)... if you turned off all shaders and stuck to midrange maps, you should be fine on a 700mhz machine.

#7228: FPS

by Greywhind on 12/22/2006 17:56

It's odd - on my Intel Mac, I get 30-60 FPS with full shaders, occlusion, and 4x FSAA, at 1440x900.

The same computer can barely run Nexuiz at medium settings...

Actually, the Nexuiz speed is probably the strange part, not Sauer being fast, since the computer is so new. Maybe Nexuiz isn't Universal Binary.

@Chaos

CellShading? There are only two reasons for cellshading in Sauer:

1. Make Sauerbraten look like if the developers want to copy "Warsow"
For Warsow itīs ok. It has this Wipeout, Trickstyle kind of feeling but was developed and designed with this in mind.

2. Creating a remake of the South Park ego shooter...

Hmmm. I personaly dont like cellshading and I think it will never fit into the vision of the sauer team. But who knows...

Uhm, no, Sauerbraten is if anything, more intensive than UT2004. Even with shaders off, cards without occlusion culling and other features will run like crap.

My laptop (1.4GHz Pentium M, 768MB RAM and a 32MB Radeon 7500) runs UT2004 at decent speeds, whereas Sauerbraten is under 15FPS on any decent maps.

Sauerbraten will NOT run on Grizzly's system, end of story. Its got no hope in hell of running at a playable speed.

I use Cube 1. How do I change the gun from a shotgun to a laser? or pistol?

The Radeon 9000 does not even support shaders, so they are turned off anyway. Sure, Sauer does run better than UT 2004 on my old system, but to compare it with UT99 is not quite correct. OK, let's say UT 2003. =D

#7233: lighting question:

by NerfLad on 12/23/2006 22:33

There is a sunlight option in the editing menu, but how about moonlight, for night maps? Just a suggestion for the next release...

reply to this message

#7234: Re: lighting question:

by Passa on 12/24/2006 00:50, refers to #7233

You shouldn't even be using the lighting menu..

Use the command:

'newent light NRadius NRed NGreen NBlue' with N replaced by a number

For example, the sunlight option in the menu is simply newent light 0 255 200 100 (note that 0 means indefinite)

#7236: Server

by SUSE on 12/24/2006 10:46

Hello people,

I don't really know how to use this forum because it's a bit different then an ordinary forum.

But I've got a question about servers.
Is it possible to setup my own free server?
And can I let people play on maps I made myself?

Greetings,
SUSE.

#7237: Re: Server

by Drakas on 12/24/2006 11:05, refers to #7236

To run a server, open the required ports (look in the documentation), and run the server depending on your OS. Say on Linux - type ./bin_linux/linux_server ..... all the info is basically in the docs!

Maps - www.quadropolis.us

Enjoy!
