Heh, once after I installed the Kodak EasyShare software from my camera, my old PC stopped booting and just came up with a screen full of smiley faces. Scared the shit out of me.

Sounds like a virus/spyware to me.

#7331: Problems connecting to servers

by crille on 01/05/2007 19:18

Hi!

Sometimes I can\'t connect to most of the servers. Some of them are just unreachable. Some are empty even though it says in the list that there are people in there. And sometimes I try connecting to an empty server and there\'s people in it. Weird stuff...

I am using the mac version. Am I the only one with this problem?

Same happens to me from time to time (Mac-version, too), but I read from others here which got that, too.

Most probably this results when you click on a server the moment that the serverlist gets reordered, so you click another server than intended.

#7334: Game crash

by pjman on 01/06/2007 16:09

Whenever I connect to a network server I get the following error:

Sauerbraten Win32 Exception: 0xc0000005 [0xc]

I'm running this on a Compaq nc6400 laptop. 1 GB RAM and the video is an Intel 945GM Express.

Any ideas where I can start troubleshooting?

Cube is for X Window System. It can run on any Window manager as long as you have OpenGL drivers enabled (either software or hardware+good gpu)

#7337: Character Selection?

by ljdp on 01/07/2007 18:16

Hi, a few people and me are making a small
modification of the sauerbraten game,
When i say mod i mean, maps and new weapon models (not new weapons)and also a new character model (which im modeling now)

However i know little c++ (bout 5 months experience) and know how to recompile the engine and would love to implement a character selection screen??

How hard is it (if even possible) would it be to do this, say i make 3-5 characters, and also sync it over the network.

I would really love some help with this,
i think it would be a neat little feature.

Thanks =), Luke.

by Drakas on 01/07/2007 21:04, refers to #7337

Basically, you need to look at SV_INITC2S (I think, right?) and the client should send their character model together with their nickname over the network. As the server receives the character ID, it broadcasts it (with the name) to all the clients and they receive that ID. The clients receive the ID, and for the specific clientnum, you'd have modelid property, which will be changed together when other clients receive that id.

Hope you understood :|

Really, not too hard to do IMO.

by ljdp on 01/07/2007 21:59

Ok...

I kinda understood it =/

I looked for SV_INITC2S and saw thats where the nickname/team exchanges are going on, and also in fpsrender.h it has the character model and also for when it changes skin upon different teams, so it makes sence to me i have to do something in that file too, but i guess gonna have to read up alot more c++ stuff if im gonna do this properly =/

just a tip, where you see something like sendf(-1 , 1, "ris", ....); < "ris" is the format the message is sent in. You'll need to odify the message length to make it bit longer.
"ris" means reliable, integer, string. well, you'll need to experiment in order to understand it fully :)

#7342: Problems connecting to servers (still)

by crille on 01/08/2007 14:47

Well, I have tried playing online some more, and there is definitely something wrong when I try to connect to different servers.

When I click a server in the list, or type /connect ip, I get connected to another server. I fire up the list of servers again, and check for a server with the same type of game, the same map and the same amount of players, and I can see that I'm in a completely different server with a completely different ip-adress than stated when I connected to it.

Because of this, I have to connect to random servers until I'm connected to the one I want. Very annoying. Does someone know why this is happening to me?

#7343: Re: Problems connecting to servers (still)

by Drakas on 01/08/2007 16:19, refers to #7342

Happens to everyone. I'll work on a standalone server list online :) So you wouldn't have to get too stressed

#7344: freeze on exit

by rla3rd on 01/08/2007 20:29

i freeze on exit running latest version of sauer. I have an ATI X700 mobility video card. There any way to log and find a fix for this? I have to reboot after every exit to recover.

#7345: Re: freeze on exit

by sinsky on 01/08/2007 20:44, refers to #7344

Don't know about a fix but you can try pressing ALT+TAB and if you manage to switch to the console window (black, with white text inside), try to close that window. That's how I exit when Sauer is on fire.

by theButcher on 01/08/2007 23:43

Sorry about double post, but...
Now on the map that sauerbraten loads first, metl4, the water looks all nice and pretty. But when i reload metl4 or load another map, the water is just black again. This is after updating my graphics drivers. Could someone please help me here so that I can get pretty water wherever I go. Thanks.

#7347: [Waiting for response]

by SUSE on 01/09/2007 14:52

Hi there,

I have a problem with setting up my own server. I have forwarded my ports correctly and the server replies to my ping so my server was registered and everything is OK.

But when I start Sauerbraten I only see this:

[Waiting for response] <and here my IP>

I can see all other servers except my own server name.

How can I fix this?
