Please post your bug reports in here.

With your bug report, please submit the following information:

1) OS: Your operating system, i.e. Linux, Windows, or otherwise and what version you are using.

2) 3D card: The 3D card you are using. If you do not know, this is printed on the "Renderer:" line in the console when Sauerbraten starts up.

3) The edition of Sauerbraten you are using, i.e. Assassin edition, CVS as of a particular date, or otherwise.

4) Error information: If you are on Windows, a pop-up message showing filenames and line numbers should show up when Sauerbraten crashes; if possible, post a screenshot or a copy/paste of this. If on Linux, post a log of the startup info from the console, including relevant errors or any info you might have discovered. If on MacOS X, please post the crash log if applicable.

5) A description of the problem and how to reproduce it. Please give as much detail as possible on how someone can recreate the problem, in as certain terms as you can. If someone else can't reproduce the problem, it is unlikely he can fix it or tell you what is wrong.

#102: Re: MasterServer and AutoExec

by Nonepwnz on 01/22/2009 00:19, refers to #101

Still can't get this master server to be read and used. Does it mean I have to download the program on another browser? I have no idea what to do.

#103: Re: MasterServer and AutoExec

by MeatROme on 01/22/2009 00:31, refers to #102

Your reply is a little confusing,
but if you can't access the masterserver on a regular install of Cube 2 (Sauerbraten) then you might really best try to deinstall/reinstall.
What I said comes down to this:
You can obviously surf from your PC - since you've posted here - the masterserver communication happens just like that - see for yourself:
http://sauerbraten.org/masterserver/retrieve.do?item=list

For a "quick fix" you can copy-paste that into a file - ./servers.cfg ... meaning : in your sauerbraten install directory.

Yea I find myself confusing too. I'm just confused about what to do to make multiplayer work. I'm gonna try to re-install and give it a break if it doesn't work. Thanks for your help though. ^_^

Try putting the following in your autoexec.cfg file:

ati_texgen_bug 0

Or you can try typing it from the console like it says: /ati_texgen_bug 0
Though from the console you might have to retype it each startup, if not using the autoexec.cfg method.

#113: ..

by mrpiddly on 02/16/2009 22:06

In SVN, when in 3D person using edit mode, passing the character through a wall will cause the camera to be placed inside of the character's head momentarily. I suspect it is an engine problem.


Also, the visual streaking caused by glare and the wireframe view still has not been fixed. (This could be my graphics card, but I have tested it on 3 different cards) It is not really that much of a issue, but it is rather annoying.

#115: Re: mouse not working

by MeatROme on 02/28/2009 18:20, refers to #114

what do you mean "Sauerbraten for Ubuntu 8.10" .. if you found some DEB (like via the synaptic packet-manager or from getdeb.net or so) then DON'T ;-)
So far all the people that've done installer packages for linux have completely failed - they only cause trouble.

There's really nothing to it anyway:
Download, unpack, .. run .. no big deal!
See http://cube.wikispaces.com/Install+Guide#toc1

And whatever is happening with your mouse I haven't got a clue .. you might try running sauerbraten via the following little script .. which could sit nicely in /usr/local/bin ..
.. it'll disable all mouse-acceleration and also disable the screensaver while you play, when you've finished all the settings get returned to your personal defaults!

Oh - one final thought .. maybe it's some issue with the wireless bit of your mouse .. but it shouldn't really be Sauerbratens fault .. so if you don't have any issues outside of the game ... well, you might try a mouse with a cord attached .. just for testing it out, heh.

This seems to be a common problem with Ubuntu 8.10. I have no idea what they did specifically, but it doesn't happen on other Linux distributions or Ubuntu versions.

#118: Re: problems with my mouse

by MeatROme on 03/02/2009 12:31, refers to #117

I'm still on 8.04 (hardy heron) - which BTW has LTS (long-term support) unlike 8.10 (intrepid ibex) - where this problem doesn't occur .. I've been meaning to update sooner or later, sounds like later would be prudent .. or at least keep hardy around in case of this (and other?) problems.

The only halfways helpful thread I found about this is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=925046&page=2

It mentions disabling the gnome power manager .. but also notes this only fixes "some" games .. whatever these may be, maybe sauerbraten is among them.
I'd encourage SnAexXx to post his own thread/bug-report too.

Another idea might be to start the game in windowed mode (add command-line parameter "-t") and then do a "/fullscreen 1" inside the game once mouse-responsiveness has been confirmed.

Please tell us if and which of these things might have helped you SnAexXx!

I had this problem with Urban Terror on 8.10, before I installed Sauerbraten, and it turned out to be Compiz. I installed the Compiz-Fusion Button and switch to Metacity whenever I'm gaming. For some reason, this fixed the mouse problem.

*sigh* When is Ubuntu gonna learn to not turn stuff like this on by default?

#121: Re: problems with my mouse

by MeatROme on 03/02/2009 21:29, refers to #120

Yeah. That's the main argument I've always had myself against that distro .. but if you're not afraid of some tweaking you usually get by .. and in general it /is/ the most appropriate distro for someone as lazy as me ;-)

I've put that interesting snippet of information into our FAQ .. bound to come up any number of times in the future - so here's the easy reference:
