#45: editing mode

by cryptide on 09/14/2006 04:34

anybody having any issues in edit mode? i cant seem to select multiple cubes... maybe i just need to reboot or something.

i really think you should split the maps from the engine/game. maybe 1 or two maps by default and have a map pack for the rest.

I wish my video card could handle the water. Waterfalls appear as fallings grids even with the new water settings off.

the grid is prolly the crosshair texture which means its not finding the new waterfall texture

You need to reinstall Sauer in a different directory other than the one you had it in. In other words, do a fresh install but not over what you already had for sauer.

#51: Skybox

Oh yeah, I'm also having the fuzzy skybox problem also.

Can anyone post a screenshot of this "fuzzy skybox" problem, and also the "Renderer: ..." and "Driver: ..." lines that were printed to your console on startup if you had this problem?

#53: waterfalls

by whobob121 on 09/14/2006 05:35

please i'm desperate to know how to fix waterfalls. I can see waterfalls.jpg but i need to know what .cfg file it uses to connect to the game. I have already did fresh install but no use

The waterfalls in fixed-function are currently broken. That was a bug that unfortunately made it into release. Nothing you can do right now. Rest assured, the waterfalls look like crap still. They're nothing more than the same scrolling texture we always had.

Yeah, I reinstalled Sauer into a totally new directory and I still have the grid waterfalls.

Try deleting your old autoexec.cfg -- this happened to me at one point and it was becuase they changed the default scripts that control editing.

#57: render order

by ethan592 on 09/14/2006 06:15

the explosions and particles and all the other effects still render ontop of the water

reply to this message

#58: Re: render order

by eihrul on 09/14/2006 07:48, refers to #57

That is not likely to change in the foreseeable future until we basically do a total rewrite of how particles work.

#60: Freeze?

by CrazyTB on 09/14/2006 15:07

I noticed some small freezes of not more than two or three seconds. But now it froze hard. Then I switched to another terminal and noticed sauer was not using CPU. Then I killed it (with -9). On xterm, this message was printed:

Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

(I know, not very useful)


BTW, makkE the new models/hud are excellent! At least something as good as old Cube cubes. :)

I would only suggest you to increase the icon size on weapon models. Currently it looks too small, specially at long distances.

Mac Version works fantastic. FPS have increased (from 33 to 52 at one of my test-spots on the roof in "the towers"!), too bad my Radeon 9000M can't draw the new water.

The armor looks nice, too, and it's cool that the ogre now has a visible weapon. Oh, and the rockets look great, especially the incoming ones...

Great work, keep it up!

#62: Re: scraps of scripting

by MeatROme on 09/14/2006 21:25, refers to #62

please place scripting stuff on quadropolis - and simply post a link here.
That's way easier - for everybody.
