For the future, would normal mapped bullet holes be too resource intensive or just too messy?


Overal,l this is a great update with the best features for me being the in-game .cfg editor and .obj support.

#10: dancing monsters

by sound on 06/18/2008 06:27

Just tried a few SP maps, the monsters
are getting stuck together in groups.
Then they don't shoot at anything,
just gyrate in the same spot.

I was just thinking about directional damage indicators last night and then here they are in today's release :)

Looks great so far.

For the intensive bullet holes, stuck yourself in a wall, watch it, and shot five times with your shotgun. The framerate dropped to 180 to ~70/80 for me.

(done in one of the RPG maps, y'know, the cheapest)

#14: one of my best days...

by D-TurboKiller (LT) on 06/18/2008 11:52

Well, it's about time! Now I can finally work and play with my crappy laptop, thanks to PVS culling :) (Damn you, Intel graphics card!)
I see this is gonna be one hell of a day for me... I finally got the time to try Portal today. I'll save the best for last (Sauerbraten, that is). Good thing school's over, now I have loads of time to create new content, starting with the very final version of my best map, "LT Space Deathmatch eXpanded".

Now we just need the most asked feature EVER, Co-op mode (SP for MP). And also something I've noticed since CVS: try to improve (make it faster) the creation of PVS Culling for maps. The time you need to do it can be... colossal :P
Also, kudos for the great and cheap new graphical revamp! That glow makes a nice change, especially on Intense :D

why dont the "roller coasters" work anymore? other than that, WOOHOO!!!

reply to this message

#16: Good job!

by Dracion on 06/18/2008 14:02

Well worth the extra 3 days wait for me. Really like the new graphics especially. One problem though, the bullet marks made in walls seem to remain after you remove the cube, which creates the effect of a random floating object.

Example: http://i29.tinypic.com/2zp5ovn.png

Apart from that, a big well done :D

So I just downloaded this new version of Sauer, and when I run it, I get insanely low FPS. Now I mean INSANELY slow, like, under 1 FPS, not enough to even navigate the menu. I'm not too sure what is causing this. Graphically, the game looks fine, and I am not using any software OpenGL (Quake 3 CPMA runs perfectly). I am running under XP SP2, and my specs are as follows:
900mhz Celeron, 192mb ram, ATI Radeon 9200PRO. Ok, so it isn't too flash, but I was able to run Sauer around a few months ago and get around 70 FPS (from memory). Can anyone shed any light on this situation? Sauer is looking great :)

by HashBox3 on 06/18/2008 14:57

Ok well, I figured it out, if I set "ati_texgen_bug 0" in my config, it runs with no problems, although it seems to remove that from my config on exit. Thanks anyway guys, and well done to everyone who contributed to this release! :)

Don't write in your config.cfg (I assume you meant that)

Create an autoexec.cfg, there you can put all scripts and commands you want to be executed on startup.

what command would you use in the game to change the hit crosshair?

* revised handling of slopes in physics to reduce sticking problems

#23: congratulations!!!!

by mau on 06/18/2008 16:40

y\'all did a fantastic job on the engine. i don\'t get the \"freezes\" i used to get and the performance is even better than it already was. just wanted to congratulate you guys and say thanks a million.

congratulations to the map-making folks out there too. the new maps are awesome!

Bug report: Happend in a CTF game on the TC server several times.
All players could pick up items but the ammo etc wasn't added to their inventory and flags could not be picked up. After a level restart it was usually gone.

I dont have that problem at all.

#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)?
