Sorry - had the folks out to visit for awhile, went to Vegas, Monument Valley, Flagstaff, Aztec, and about a zillion other places. I'll have some new stuff to post this week, but gotta spend time with the family.

Still trying to learn how to utilize SF, but until then everyone will be happy to know that I back my work up every day or so.

Right now, working on mapmodels and multiplayer maps. Once those are finished, I'll be ready to start implementing code changes for vweaps and ammunition handling. Hweaps and character models for multiplayer are all finished.

Still cranking out textures for maps as needed.

The first milestone is a multi-player release with five maps, which is a pretty modest goal for a one man op.

The last thing to do will be a web page with download and mapping resources. Outside of a modified map model CFG file there will be a default level config with most if not all of the textures included and a few different skyboxes.

Right now, call it about 60% finished for this milestone. There's a lot more contentthat's been created for the single player release, but it's not even close to finished yet.

Not yet. I'm still working on the maps. mapmodels, and some programming details.

Would you be interested in adding your mod to the ModDB?

Naw, its technically classed as standalone because (I'm assuming) it won't need a pre-existing installation of Sauerbraten. Look at all the standalone Quake 3 mods that appear as standalone games on moddb.

Eventually it will be - but that will be awhile yet. Until then, I'm trying to set it up so that you can just unpack it and play it on top of a Sauer installation without messing up the original stuff.

While we're on the subject, I'm looking for a way to create a launcher that will work across Windows, *nix, and Mac. Something open source that I don't need to pay for, preferrably. I think such a thing would make it far easier for people to jump in and start playing. Any ideas?

"you can just unpack it and play it on top of a Sauer installation without messing up the original stuff."

Awesome! :)

On the launcher.. you could do something in python? I would seriously try Delphi as well, its got unofficial compilers for Linux, and I think Mac as well. Or something like that..

PS; what do you need a launcher for?..

It's not needed per se, but a good one could do a lot of command line stuff - resolutions, windowed/unwindowed, startup maps, server setups, gametype, as well as easy access to docs.

Yes, it would dumb it down, and no, it isn't necessary, but it would make it much easier for joe schmoe to pick it up and run with it.

I'd like a universal one that doesn't rely on a framework languge like python or .net, but I may just have to suck it up :(

"I'd like a universal one that doesn't rely on a framework languge like python or .net, but I may just have to suck it up :("
It'd be an arse to do a universal one without python or something along those lines (eeww... .net!!) .. maybe you could work on simply enhancing the in-game Sauerbraten menu? That'd be universal :)

Here's a starting place. My brother wrote this years ago for my CL mod. You'll have to figure out how to Windows-ify it yourself, we never got around to it, but some part of it should be useful.

I'll have to paw through that to see if I can use it. Thanks for the help!

I'm honestly wondering if I could do it in flash, but last time I checked flash didn't do external commands. I don't know if anything has changed since Adobe bought it or not.

1 * 2... That's 12, right?

Also, as far as sauerbraten asset use, you might want to look at the patch I posted in feature requests...
