is there any way to make maps using like gtkradiant? or something else, i find the editing mode in the game way crazy for me, and i would like to make some maps for you all that would look good. :)

Read this for the beginning: http://sauerbraten.org/docs/editing.html

The basic editing is easy and intuitive.
You will see it work great after you learn the basics.
But it also has limits. Because of that it wont work with any kind of map-editor you know so far.

if i made an md5 model of a map would it automatically clip itself?

you wouldn\'t want to do that anyway

make the map in the sauerbraten editor

if you want more detail, then go use a modeler to make some more detailed stuff for it

not automatically, but you can do that in the cfg.

I have wanted to see someone try this even though it is taking sauerbraten in the wrong direction.

I think currently you can only either have a bounding box for the model or have it completely noclipped (you dont collide at all.) The only way to make it work would be to make it noclipped then use the sauer map editor to clip the places that you dont want to be able to pass through.

I personally find the Sauerbraten editor to be very powerful (despite some limitations) once you get used to it. Also, there are some great new features in the CVS version that allow even more precise cube detail (such as size 0 cubes), I got some pretty detailed objects (such as a good looking sink and faucet) with these sized cubes.

I donno, personal preference I guess.

You can have the model clip based on it's triangles if you want.

Inside the Model CFG :

mdlcollide 1


That works

I thought this made the player collide with its bounding box.

But wouldn't using a mapmodel as the map create culling problems? That is, unless Sauer culls mapmodel tris; I don't know.

Dunno.

For clipping, all you'd have to do is put some geometry inside the model, sky-texture it, and set "skytexture 0" in your cfg.

I'm fairly sure that backface culling for models has been around for a couple of years... in fact, I think I remember there being something in shader edition that allows models to be rendered without backface culling, allowing for more efficient vegetation models. I was more into the modelling stuff back then, and was concerned about complications with the cel outlining technique (I was considering redoing CL with a cel-shaded art style at the time).

That might not be the right command, but I am 99% sure that there is a command to do this


i think it is mdltricollide

mdltricollide was removed.

I'm pretty sure weapons (and a few other things) only show up if you save the map then re-load it.
