#101: Can\'t select blocks?

by Cyk on 09/17/2006 04:21

I just went into a server that had coopedit, and when I switched to edit mode and tried to select, it wouldn\'t let me- it showed me the highlighted square, but I couldn\'t select it. I could, however, select with middle-click.

Any solutions?

#102: More Troubles

by Cyk on 09/17/2006 04:26

I managed to fix that by deleting config.cfg, but now I have a new problem- sometimes when people join a server, my whole game freezes up. Why does this happen? It makes the game unplayable online.

(also, might want to fix your PHP- your apostrophe escape kinda messed up in my last post)

well, if some one will tell me where the no shaders water is controlled i can edit it, because i have a mild grasp of CubeScript.

#104: Grid waterfall

by Jung on 09/17/2006 23:49

I don't really see any difference in the water in this version. Maybe my GF4-ti4600 is too old.

Is there a fix for the grid waterfall?

I have a few script enhancements that I think will make sauer default scripts a little better. Take a look:

#108: Water Bug

by om9zer on 09/24/2006 03:29

Mr. Aard, there seems to be a bug with the water on my machine.

I'm using a GeForce 6800 and a fresh Sauerbraten install.

#110: Re: General and capture HUD improvement, and capture teams

by conorkirk_MY_COOKIE! on 09/28/2006 07:32, refers to #90

we need to have a dialog come up for somebody to chose a name if there name is unnamed, or it will not let them play mp.

maybe you should change the teams to yellow and green or something, i got very confused when i was red to begin with, shooting teammates lol, i often see people in teamplay who get confused, but it only happens to players who are red.. IMO it would be more intuitive to actually ahve the players coloured as the team they are, red coloured red and blue coloured blue like in other games

by Drakas on 09/30/2006 10:52

No. that is a bad idea, CC_machine4. Red as enemy is good. Blue as team is good.
Better thing is to change the team names choices from red and blue to something else that is not a colour.

Take the idea of some people wanting to team up on a different teamname. There would be way too many colours. Only two is the best choice.

by rock.n.rol on 09/30/2006 15:20, refers to #112

I agree.

Having teams red/blue and colours red/blue are confusing to many ppl, it seems.

Maybe using teamnames alpha/omega or whatever should solve it ?

Should. Would be a good idea :)

#115: how do you make water look as in screens

by fumples on 10/07/2006 23:54

i cant make the water look like it was in the screens...

#116: Re: how do you make water look as in screens

by CrazyTB on 10/08/2006 00:56, refers to #115

Make you sure you have a recent video card (one that supports shaders or something like that). GeForce FX (5200, 5500, ...) or newer works. I don't know about ATI.

Make you sure you are in 24 or 32 bpp color mode (since 16 bit is currently broken).

Then, type "/waterreflect 1" and "/waterrefract 1" (even thought I think this is the default).

If you can't make water look like that, then your video card does not support that, or your video drivers are outdated.

ATI is very odd in Sauerbraten.. I've got a PC with a 9600XT, and it gets all sorts of anomalies with bumpmaps and the new water.

Performance is sketchy too.

As long as the GPU supports shader model 2.0, it should be able to show the new water. ATI is strange again with that, alot of shader model 2.0 cards that are ATI display things strangely or not at all.

Everyone know nVidia is the best :p

And i know the ATI drivers are not very good... they can crash :p (it happend in my previous PC :x)

Well if you've got ATI, at least use the Omega Drivers. Theyre far better than the standard Catalyst ones.

reply to this message

#120: Re: ..

by sinsky on 10/09/2006 02:33, refers to #119

I tried the Omega drivers, they increase my frags effectively since I always play with shaders and they're optimized for Radeon (9550 here). With the standard Catalyst drivers I get high quality shaders and lower fps. I haven't figured out how to switch to high-quality shaders with the Omega stuff yet - God bless me :)

Other than that, I get "anomalies" with both drivers like dots in the sky, blinking triangles on heightfields and some extra dots of different sort, present since Cube (and on my previous Radeon 7500 too). But overall it's nothing serious, I fully enjoy the game and can't really complain as most of the time I don't see glitches at all.
