#26: Flag Carrier

by tman_elite on 06/18/2008 18:26

Maybe for the next release the flag carrier should have a speed decrease (maybe 10-20%). It's not that big of a change but I think it would work well.

CTF is great. Nice work.

It's recommended that you remove config.cfg when installing a new version of Sauer.

In fact, it's also recommended that you uninstall the old and install the new version completely... But who's really going to do that (especially with the -q option)?

#28: Like New Version a LOT!!!

by Titanic12ship on 06/18/2008 19:03

I like everything a lot, high quality new maps, CTF is great, and I really like the new features. Everything is spectacular.

I just had 1 question: Was the writeobj command taken away? I tried it and looked for the object file and I can't find it. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.

Anyway, fantastic release!!

#29: download is slow and keeps stopping

by CC_machine#1847629837641 on 06/18/2008 20:56

my father and I are trying to download, getting only 40 to 60kb/s each though (we are on 2megabit download, wired connection, so 256kb/s maximum) and in Firefox at least, the downloads keep stopping for a few seconds every so often, or claim to be finished (when they arent, and so the file is corrupt.) he is on Windows, i\'m on Linux. same behaviour if i use wget on a terminal.

any other people experiencing download issues from sourceforge? mh.

#30: Another great release

by tentus_ on 06/18/2008 21:03

Oddly enough, my favorite addition is the cloudlayer stuff. I love how the clouds look in Shipwreck (particularly at gamespeed 400).

I wonder if we could get Yahtzee to give it a whirl? From the sound of his reviews, Sauer would be right up his alley, especially with the new decals and gamemodes.

Try a different mirror.

#32: low fps with PVS?

by D-TurboKiller (LT) on 06/18/2008 23:14

I wonder why, but I'm getting pretty low fps (less than 10) on more open maps, like shipwreck, which has PVS. Of course, this happens when I see a bit far away. I even tried using the /pvs command to check if it was on. The strange thing is that it's the same crappy FPS with or without PVS. I know I have an Intel card, but still, with an Intel dual core processor with about 1.5 GHz for each core and 1 GB of Memory, I was expecting it to run a lot faster than that. This is kinda strange since I can play UT2004 and any Source game nicely.

(6 times 1? Damn, this is a tough one xD)

#35: Re: Flag Carrier

Definitely not. It's already hard enough to capture the flag.

by tman_elite on 06/19/2008 02:31, refers to #36

Making the flag carrier slower would probably encourage more teamwork, since it would be harder to capture a flag all on your own.

Two other things I think could improve capture the flag:

1. A score limit
2. Make recovering a flag like capturing a base in capture mode (like 3 seconds or so).

These are just suggestions, of course.

Once again, CTF is great. Nice work.

by smartalco on 06/19/2008 02:48

I like the score limit idea, not so much on idea 2

love the new release (and really glad we can select models now, i played with Mr. Fixit for awhile, just seems out of place... a slightly skinnier version of the ironsuit guy would be best :D

alright, i have played sauer for about 3 hours today

it crashes every 20 minutes with the new version

system specs: OS X 10.5.3 on PPC G4 with Radeon mobile 9700 (128mb RAM)

anything I can do to not crash? or any way i can enable bug reporting or something to help devs figure out why it is crashing?

#42: Re: ..

Does it not come up with the "this application has crashed dialog"? - post the crash log here or on irc

Heh, getting Yahtzee to review it would be great, tentus. Should be great fun.

Hasn't he said he really only plays singleplayer? At least right now, Sauer is mainly a multiplayer game.
