Since people are getting a bit antsy, I figure I'll just say that the release will be roughly within a month. :)

That means if you have release quality maps that you want to try to get in the release, you should both give me advance notice here ASAP, and also make sure it gets on Quadropolis within the next week or two.

#1: Maps

Is there a way I could get my Avocado map in the release, as one of the concept maps? Just let me know what needs changing and I'll see if I can pull it off.

But when I tried to contacted Aardappel for the licensing/credits I got nothing.

Is OK If I upload/submit it?

I'm not following the changes in the Sauerbraten-world, so this question might be lame:

Will new version support any kind of player-voting-cheaters-and-kicking-them-thing?

Current system is based solely on a presence of admins|masters. It works great on well-known community servers most of the time, but you can't demand being online 24/7 on hosts. There is no immediate way for the sane players to block cheater or do anything else (the only related thing that I've found is #cheater command in Hopmod) except performing collective exodus. (as adviced by wiki; never seen that :-)

It will be great if such option is available by default on every server running new version, even if its admins are lazy/have no time to alternatively configure it.

Not that amount of cheaters is significant (especially in comparison with other multiplayer games), but everyone seems to be used to the ordinary relaxing atmosphere and every accident feels disastrous. :)

In the new version I got rid of the "approve" command, such that now anyone can immediately take master, like back in the old days, unless the server is using the "-o1" command-line option to disable that. Otherwise there is also going to be "auth" support on all servers regardless.

Looking at AC, I am not so sure vote kicking is really a good solution. By the time people are kicked, if they get kicked at all, the trouble maker has usually already left or caused everyone else to leave.

I agree, it's hard enough to get a general population to cooperate with anything; this is why Blood Frontier keeps the Cube 2 master/admin system - it's tried, tested, and true.

Just "/setmaster 1" when you connect to a server (well, when it becomes available to everyone again I guess). Always make sure someone has master, anyone can (will be able to) grab it for this reason.

The lighting in it was a bit too dark and I'm not sure the layout would have worked all that well for CTF.

#12: Isnt it Lovely Weather?

by fispaul on 03/29/2009 10:41

One thing that would be AWESOME in Sauerbraten would be the ability to have WEATHER in maps, like rain, or snow. I know there are already particles which do similar things, but they LAG if theres a lot. Maps like Hallo CRY to have rain, or Frostbyte with snow. Just a suggestion :)

If your comp is lagging on just the particles in existing maps, I can't really imagine a system that would let you have rain or snow on a map like Hallo without looking terrible.

I second the request to include "Avocado" by tentus as an experimental map. The palette cfg included with his is map is very useful for prototyping map geometry before texturing and for creating maps with a unique visual style.

My map "Molten" provides a bit more sophisticated example of mapping using his palette, but it too is unfinished and experimental. If there is any interest, I would be able to finish it for the next release.

None of the existing maps have lagges so far because of particles AT ALL. What I mean is, in coopedit, if someone makes a WHOLE MAP full of something like that weird, blueish white thing, to make it look like snow, THEN it lags. Besides that, not at all. I imagine the rain being less like particles, but just being there, like seeing little white lines come down with a little splash at the obttom, but so it looks like rain. And rian sounds that go with it, too.

#16: letters

by ZANK on 03/30/2009 01:48

I think that it is really annoying to make letters so there should be a menu where you can type in some words and click create or whatever and then it will open a page asking you wat textureand font and so on. just an idea.
