...which is why I pointed you to the link. It tells you how to create one, if you looked it over. That's what compiling does.

mod = game, well actually modification. and creating an executable wont make a game for you.

mod != game

A mod is a *modification* of an actual game. An addon to the original, if you will.

No, you don't. When you make a game, you code the logic and stuff from scratch (and in Aard's case, he coded everything from a clean slate). When you make a MOD for a game, you MODIFY the original code, and/or replace art assets.

Look at the License part of the readme.

It describes a mod as "new executable that incorporates your gameplay, that requires an existing install of sauerbraten, and installs only the new files you created in parallel to the existing files."

Then it describes how to make a "standalone game based on the sauerbraten engine."

According to this, the only difference is that a mod is designed to work with sauerbraten, while a standalone game based on sauer is designed to be, well, a standalone game.

They're both made the same way

You're misinterpreting. The word "game" is a very broad term, including card games, D&D, video games, and so on. A mod is a modification of an existing game, usually a video game. So it helps to think of "mod" as a subgroup identifier. "Standalone" is a further modifier: mods generally come in two flavors, addon and standalone. The docs you are referring to talk about making a standalone as a category of mod, which is a category of game. You were talking about making a game, which is a whole different process from making a standalone mod.

No, under those definitions, a "mod" would not require modification of game code itself, but a "standalone game" would require a new executable, which would require modification of the game code.

What if you take out 1/3 of the code, and replace it with something else entirely?

Is this considered a 'full conversion mod', or something like that?

It really doesn't matter what you call it. What matters is whether or not what you're doing is legal or not. And with Sauer, you can do pretty much whatever you want with the code (except take credit for writing it, of course) but you're not allowed to use many of the maps, models, textures, sounds, etc without permission. The problem isn't people using the game code, the problem is people using the game content.

It is considered a full conversion mod when all of the art assets are replaced.

#15: how to make an executable

by -- on 03/10/2008 10:57

1) Be sure, that you have installed LibSDL, LibSDL_mixer, LibSDL_image, zlib development libraries
2) from console go to sauerbraten/src directory
e.g.
$ cd ~/sauerbraten/src
3) type
$ make
4) if you are in luck, sauerbraten will be compiled and executables will be in sauerbraten/src directory
