wow.... the levels are awesome and the gameplay looks really "finished". the guy (i kept thinking that the model looks like samus from the shape, what is it?) ran alittle to fast but other than that, i sure hope you aren't keeping that car texture ;)

I can't tell due to the bad video quality, but I think it's just IronSnout, the new default Sauerbraten player model.

Quin, Did you ever play an old game called Abuse, by any chance? If not... Well worth hunting down.

#98: I spent about 3 solid months on the code, it //is near// finished. The model is the new Ironsnout, now available in Sauer's CVS.

#101: Yeah, I played Abuse back in my Linux days. Was one of a few projects that have inspired me over the years with the idea of a 3D Side Scroller (I've seen others done in Quake/UT too).

ALL: I've been looking at using lunaran's textures to make a level for SSP.

The levels now, while technically impressive, only serve to demonstrate basic gameplay/code (I only made them up as demo levels and suck at mapping).

Heh, now that's what I'm talking about. SSP is more refined and has more possibilities at the moment.

I'm not even working on KRS again until after the next release at least, when SauerMod can gain more attention from those actually able to assist in its development. It was more made so far as a proof of concept, and is nothing like the grand design.

Something of that magnitude will require more than just one person. Even SSP, with all its wonderful gameplay ideas, loses points because I can't map all that well or all that fast, the "Bonus Maps" contributed by others are far better than mine (both aesthetically and playability).

There are, also, other things I have planned as well, and as far as hobbyist things goes, I'll always be working on whatever I'm most passionate about and interested in.

Most notable of additions is the descriptions for all SSP variables and commands, enjoy! Feedback, suggestions, etc, are always welcome.

#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?
