Okay, so what is it usable for? Just rocket explosions?

Sauer's dynamic lighting is only suitable for non-realistic additive colouring. It basically brightens geometry inside the radius and does absolutely no shadows, etc (the light goes through walls).

#8990: MinGW problem & couple of questions

by etko on 09/05/2007 17:39

Hello,

I've just managed to compile sauer using combo code::blocks + mingw, game works fine, however menus are not responding to mouse clicks - has anybody experienced this? I am on windows. Official sauer binary works fine.

Second question is whether sauer does some kind of occlusion or it just draws whole level in one pass? I mean when i am running in really big maps like the rpg ones sauer gets quite slow on my setup. I have athlon 1400 and Gf6200. i would like to know too in what state is portal code mentioned somewhere in the docs. was it implemented?

Third question is whether according to you (anyone on the forum) sauer is suitable for small commercial game, in it's current state. I have some experience with modelling and texturing and was playing with idea to spawn very small game.

#8991: Still texture failures

by LeOuf4 on 09/05/2007 18:34

hello,

I got still textures errors on my intel 945 (linux). I understand that good cards may be needed, but same maps are unplayable in the summer ed., but were roughly ok on spring ed., without changes (e.g. urban).

Thanks !

#8992: Weird problem:

by toshi on 09/05/2007 19:20

A try to explain it:

3 player on one map: Shooter "A", "B" and Mr. "C".

I'm Mr. "A"

I shot "B". He dies immediately.
I shot Mr. "C". He dies immediately too.
I shot "B" again. He does NOT die immediately!! Or was it just a feeling?!
I shot Mr. "C". He does NOT die immediately!!! That wasn't just a feeling...
I shot poor "B" again. Wth is goin on? He dies after 1 second!
I shot Mr. "C". He does NOT die at all, because angry "B" was killing me within the 1 second.
After coming back I shot "B". He does NOT die immediately, so i run out of his sight. Managed it and just in this moment i come around the next corner I hear his "death" moaning...
Mr. "C" saw me, runned after me. I shot him and... of course he does NOT die immediately, so the next corner was my one! Oh. Now they don't need just 1 second - almost 2 seconds from now!! What a pity. Around the croner awaits angry "B" me and killed poor player "A" (ME). Therfore Mr. "C" did not die.
And so on. It does not stop by 2 seconds. It goes higher...much higher. Does somebody know the problem?

My system:
AMD Athlon 3200+
1024 MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9800Se
Windows XP SP2

The spring Edition was fine. Got this problem with the new releases!!

By no doubts it's lag, This makes it so that players die after a couple of seconds but if it's increasing and increasing you should go and find another server with lower ping(The higher the ping = The more the lag)

#8994: Re: Weird problem:

by toshi on 09/05/2007 19:38, refers to #8993

Hmm. I have a ping from 10-40. Never had this before. On some servers I have a ping from ~10. On others ~30-40. I never playing on servers with a ping higher then 100... So it can't be a ping problem!
And again: The spring edition is fine for me. The same server with spring ed.(I love the sever COE with the map urban_c)give me now with summer edition this problem.

Strange on a computer like your's Cube 2 should work to it's maximum power, Does this happen to any server you join in or just a random selection of servers?

I suspect your system clock is returning REALLY bad timing. I will put up a patch for you to try shortly.

#8999: Re: Weird problem:

by eihrul on 09/05/2007 21:26, refers to #8998

Try using this patch: http://tunes.org/~eihrul/timesync_patch.exe

If it fixes your timing issues I will integrate it into Sauer.

#9001: ..

by SanHolo on 09/05/2007 22:13

Or is it the ping of the other players?

reply to this message

#9002: Re: ..

by toshi on 09/05/2007 22:32, refers to #9001

The pings of the other players are not important. I have this with all players on all servers. :(

I love this game, so I changed back to the old spring edition, but nobody is playing it anymore :S.

Are you on a dual core processor? What fps do you normally get on maps?

reply to this message

#9004: Re: ..

by eihrul on 09/05/2007 23:12, refers to #9002

toshi, the fundamental problem here is I can't reproduce the problem at all on any of my computers. So I really need people to help me figure out the issue.

If you are willing to hang out in the #sauerbraten irc channel on quakenet for a few days, I can try to debug the problem with you, buy unless you're willing to put in some time helping me, I have almost no way to debug the problem.

#9005: Re: ..

by toshi on 09/05/2007 23:28, refers to #9004

I only have a normal AMD Athlon 3200+. One Core (Sockel A). FPS usually at 30-90. With the new summer edition I get more FPS.
I understand you eihrul. But I only can towards evening, because of work.

Talk to geartrooper, he's the man in charge of modeling. It is highly recommended that you read over the docs as well.
