Hi,

I just have a quick question: Will there be an autumn Editon of Sauerbraten and if yes, what will be the new features and fixes? :)

new file formats for map models.*

Does that mean CVS has weather?

Cool, time for a checkout and a round of figuring out how the heck it works.

How about we stop naming the editions according to the weather patterns in the northern hemisphere :P

Why would you need a new fileformat for mapmodels?

No, it is using one of the particles to look like rain. Go into a coopedit server once in a while and you'll probably see 'laser lights' which are created using the same particle. (4 by the way)

md2 and md3s lack some of the features that i really like to use when modeling.

Im not saying that they should get rid of md3s completly, it would be hard to correctly convert all current models to a new format, but support for another format would be nice.


(Its not an critical need, but more of a personal preference.)

Yeah, I see that now.

It only partially achieves the desired effect... it looks a little off-color (and I can't figure out particle coloring), not to mention a perfectly appearing and disappearing column of light.

I like the new lightning effect, though. It has possibilities.

Huh? The final modelformat has nothing to do with features while modeling.

That's because the colour is a 16 bit value.

If you want to do a simple conversion on Windows (you Linux'ers should be smart enough to interpolate):
* Open up calculator, "Start -> Run -> calc.exe"
* Switch to scientific mode, "View -> Scientific"
* Set the base to hexadecimal, "View -> Hex" or F5
* Type in a 3 digit hex rgb value for the colour, eg "f60" for "R 255, B 111, G 0'
* Set the base back to decimal, "View -> Decimal" or "F6"
* You can now copy your number :)

Use Qcalculate (if you haven't discovered it, it's by far the best of the scientific calculators).

For base, choose "other", and change the expression base to hex.

Type in your number in hex, and you won't even have to press '='!

Actually its an 8 bit value, hexadecimal in 2 figures is always an 8 bit number.

4 bits (max 16) times 16 + 4 bits (max 16)

FF = (15*16) + 16 = 256
FA = (15*16) + 10 = 250

So 81 is 8*16 + 1 = 129
And 80 is 8*16 + 0 = 128
And 7F is 7*16 + 15 = 127

A 16 bit value will have 4 figures.
FFAA = (FF=256)*256 + (AA=170)=

Max 16 should be max 16, doh...

#36: Re: ..

Again, brainfart i guess, max 16 should be max 15.... aaarrrgh

More brainfarts i guess, and i did not touch a drop today.

FF = (15*16) + 16 = 256
should be
FF = (15*16) + 15 = 255

256 would be 100 in hex

So logically the maximum for an 8 bit number is 255/FF.

Yup!, 0xFFFF00 = pure yellow
0xFFF0D3 = sunlight (just about, 255,240,211)
0x808080 = 50% grey

#40: Chat Colors

by GreyMario on 10/18/2007 21:23

Okay, I've got the perfect quick suggestion.

Chat colors.

That make use of my chatcolors mod.

And actually show up on screens other than your own.


That would be pwn.

#41: particle colors

by a_baby_rabbit on 10/18/2007 21:55, refers to #39

Are actually 12 bits - and it is best to express them as 3 hex digits, e.g. for different color fireballs:

red = /newent particles 3 0 0xF00

green= /newent particles 3 0 0x0F0

blue = /newent particles 3 0 0x00F

well... fireballs are mostly red so blue ones are a bit faint, but you get the idea.
