Hello all... this thread is for discussing features you would like to see in cube, and in particular those that you find most urgent. If lots of people have the same urgent requests, I may give it priority to be implemented.

#4082: Re: You found a trapdoor! [was: Force victory ...]

by steve_e on 03/01/2008 17:43, refers to #4081

It is all about the narrative with SP - anything that can help maintain the suspension...

Trapdoors no doubt help - always wanted one myself - so easy to create so hopefully it will be included in the next release.

#4083: .X model formats

by LT.Tatters on 03/03/2008 18:29

How about implementing X models, some people such as me use to use FPSC and used Custom media, what of which was in X formats so how about the abbility to have a GUI that allows you to load a model and a texture and import it into the game?
It will come in handy too!
Because some people use max and there is a pugin for X but I have not seen one for Md2 md3?

so this is maybe somthing to think about?

Max can always export to 3ds, which my modeler of choice, Q2Modeler (I know, very oldschool and decrepit, but hey, it works wonderfully) can import and edit nicely. If you use version 911 it even has some nifty skinning options that aren't really necessary but make some people happy.

Of course, there is support for md5 now, so perhaps you should take a look at this page: http://www.modwiki.net/wiki/MD5_(file_format)

huh, it lopped off the end of the link. Oh well.

Also, if you can get your model into blender then there are several topics on the wiki which can help you out, http://cube.wikispaces.com/MD3+Export+From+Blender+Tutorial

#4086: .X models

by LT.Tatters on 03/05/2008 18:10

Never mind, Decided to use blender for awhile and found out that you can inport .X and then Export Md2, so now All I need to know is how to get them into Cube2, I know that it requires some thought, but I think i can do it, but thanks for the stuff Tentus, they should come in handy!

#4087: many changes that sauerbraten needs

by Glitchmaster on 03/08/2008 01:37

This game is awsome for an engine demo, but for it to be a good game it is missing many things:

More ammunition. Period. 6 seconds of chain gun ammo isn't enough. The rocket and grenade launchers are ok, but the shotgun needs at least 50 shells.

More versatile engine. I know, it allows for realtime editing which many games need, but it doesn't have much else. There are the things it needs:

- Elevators (come on, Doom could do it!)
- Triggers that can be spread over a wide area (like you can make a wall for it)
- A better trigger system. Maybe a trigger script that can do certain actions like open this door, or use this elevator.
- Prefabs and primitive objects (like spheres, cylinders, and 3-sided pyramids)
- The ability to create custom weapons and monsters. That is, the ability to create those things without trying to go through the entire engine to learn how it works. (Okay, it doesn't NEED this, but it would be useful)
- More weapons and monsters. (that is, if you can't do the above)
- Doors that aren't map objects. (Seriously, it needs this badly.)
- And with the above You need keycards that only open certain doors. That is, six keycards.

All of these things are in most first person shooters today, but sauerbraten lacks completely.

by demosthenes on 03/08/2008 01:42, refers to #4087

You haven't explored the game at all.

Let's see. In singleplayer, most of those are already possible. Look around, see what can be done with the engine. Especially before making lists of demands as if you know everything about FPS games, which you obviously don't, seeing as you haven't realized that if every game was the same, they'd all be the same.

Sheesh.

by smartalco on 03/08/2008 03:04, refers to #4087

time to counter all your suggestions!

elevators - it has jump-pads, close enough (and more fun to play with :D)

wide triggers - make multiple triggers for the same thing, not too hard

better triggers - you obviously know nothing of the scripting engine, you can already make triggers to open doors, do whatever

prefabs - you can make your own models to import into the game

custom weapons/monsters - model one, import it, have fun (look on quadropolis, there are already custom guns)

more weaopons/mosters - see above

doors not objects - don't know about this

keycards - there are triggers that open doors

also, if you actually live long enough to fire 50 shotgun shells, you are hiding (or playing singleplayer, stop that, multiplayer is way more fun)

You mean elevators like these? Oh wait, already there. Demosthenes is right, look around a bit first.

#4093: Rain - I'm sure this has been asked before

by w$$a$elect on 03/09/2008 21:58

Hi,

I searched around but could never find an answer to why there's no rain effect in cube 2.

For someone who understands the engine better than I do it looks pretty straight forward. All the goodies contained in renderparticles.cpp surly could be used for a rain effect?

:)

#4095: Voting

by Fnord on 03/10/2008 23:26

I have never seen anything changed by voting in sauerbraten. Voting is too hard, especially for new players.
To solve that problem, voting could work on a yes/no basis. Someone proposes changing the map to metl4, everyone votes yes/no. Furthermore, yes and no should have default bindings. There could also be some penalty for not voting (in that case with a third option - abstain). With voted kicks, that could also prevent cheating/spamming/etc.

#4096: Re: Voting

by tman_elite on 03/11/2008 02:44, refers to #4095

I don't think people should be punished for not voting, I just think that there should have to be more "yes" than "no" in a certain amount of time (say 15 sec), and if you don't vote it simply doesn't count.

#4097: Re: Voting

by tman_elite on 03/11/2008 02:45, refers to #4096

There should then be a limit on the number of map-change requests you can send (maybe like one every 2 minutes)

#4098: ..

by IllvilJa on 03/11/2008 09:44

Battlefield 2 uses a system where the votes require as certain number of "yes" (specified as the vote starts) in order for "yes" to win once the vote times out. So at least in that game non-voters count as "no". Then if that is good/bad is another thing. As you can imagine, most votes does NOT go through, at least not on public BF2 servers.

#4099: ..

by ?P()ÒÅ on 03/11/2008 17:43

If xcode is still used to create the mac version of sauerbraten, please include the xcode project file with the next release of sauerbraten. The current release only contains an empty folder called build. This would just save some time and, providing xcode is used, there is really no reason not to.

#4100: Re: .. mac xcode include

by a`baby`rabbit on 03/12/2008 09:02, refers to #4099

For the last release both the mac devs were away (real life, families, holidays, blah..) so the mac release was delayed slightly and I'm not even sure who actually bundled it up in the end... Anyway, usually everything is included.
In the meantime you should find that the linux & win bundles have a complete xcode dir in them, or try cvs.
