#108: SauerMod v0.30 for Summer Edition

by Quin on 08/28/2007 14:59

Well, it's finally here. After much delay, may I present you with SauerMod v0.30 for Summer Edition.

Changes of notable interest are:

* Enhancements to the console and general heads up display.
* Improved Bot AI, with pathfinding and enemy/pickup scanning.
* Singleplayer Co-Op Bot players.
* Monsters controlled by Bot AI.
* Fully working Side Scrolling Platformer.
* A peek at the proof of concept Kart Racing Simulator.
* .. and lots more.

You can get a more concise (and lengthy) record of changes here:

http://sauermod.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/sauermod/mod/src/changes.txt

With this release, I make a significant change in my packaging methodology, in part due to the new found package loading built in to the engine, but also to enable streamlined updates to development/unstable versions.

You must download the 'sauermod_030_content.zip' and extract it to your Sauerbraten directory. This will give you the base content and data files for this version. Do not forget to remove any previous versions of SauerMod.

You may then either compile your own binaries, or download the binary release for your architechture (if it is available) and extract it to your Sauerbraten directory. For Windows users this is 'sauermod_030_bin_win32'.

You can grab these files at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=191686&package_id=225413&release_id=535405

The included batch files include command line parameters necessary for proper operation of SauerMod, if you run the binaries directly do not forget to consult these files for those options, otherwise the game will not work.

Windows users should find their configs and saved data under their "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Sauerbraten" directory, unless this was changed or different in your country (in which case you should edit sauermod.bat). *nix users should find these files in the same place as Sauerbraten "${HOME}/.sauerbraten".

I've also moved the documentation to the Sourceforge Wiki (a snapshot of which is included with the content):

http://sauermod.wiki.sourceforge.net/

Many thanks to eihrul for this edition. Not only has he made Sauerbraten more moddable than ever before, but also for tirelessly helping when I had trouble with pathfinding (without which the new Bot AI would not exist).

NOTE: Model animation in the Windows binary package does not work correctly, this is a known problem from an unknown cause. Please let me know if you have any information regarding this.

Right, that should be it. Feedback, comments, suggestions, and help is always welcome, but most of all; have fun!

I have trouble compiling it under Linux :(

First I had to convert the configure file via dos2unix, but even then it stops during the make make step looking for a bunch of *.Po files in a non existant .deps directory.

Any tips?

Hmm, I'm not all that familiar with Linux anymore. Looks like something to do with enet though.

More information, error logs, etc?

Ok 'sauermod_030_bin_linux.tar.bz2' has been uploaded to Sourceforge.

Included in this package are the Linux binaries, and fixes for the *nix batch script, Makefile, and enet.

You can get it from the same place:

damn... still can't get it to work :(

The sauermod_unix file always exits with "unexpected file end" (expecting fi), but "fi" is at the end of the file... and all my amateurish attempts to edit the startup script have failed :(

Ah got it. bash doesn't have 'else if' apparently, this is why I need to build another system to put a Linux desktop on :P

Try this revision:

http://sauermod.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/sauermod/mod/sauermod_unix?revision=1.10

Let me know how you go with that, and if any other issues arise.

I'd like to have Linux support working, but it needs more testing than I can do currently. Anyone able to lend a hand?

Ah, thanks :) Didn't have a Linux system handy to "man bash" on.
