So, I'd like to get the party started so we can have a new release out the door by the end of November.

To that end:

Mappers - <emphasis!!!>FINISH YOUR MAPS AND PUT THEM ON QUADROPOLIS A.S.A.P. SO YOU CAN GET FEEDBACK AND FIX PROBLEMS.</emphasis!!!> I don't want to include broken or unfinished maps in the release. So if you have dreams of getting a map in the release, hurry it up.

Brave players - test the SVN stuff (requires compilation). Make sure nothing is horribly broken so that people don't have to experience horrible breakiness have the release.

That's because you'll have to register manually with help of an admin or moderator. So pop in on irc.quaketnet.org on channel #sauerbraten.

#73: duplicated textures on mai Sauah!

by goldfire on 11/21/2012 12:27

Hi guys, I wanted to report that there are duplicated textures on the Sauerbraten
packages folder, more concretely:

> packages/evil_textures/e*
> packages/textures/yves_allaire/e*/e*

Some textures of the e7 and e8 folders of yves* were already put into the
evil_textures folder a long time ago... :p

(I emailed this to eihrul, but I'm posting this here just to make sure you guys know.)

Also, the music/ songs could also be updated with another album from fanatic. In the SVN they are still the same as in Justice.

cya,

#74: weapon sounds on SVN

by goldfire on 11/21/2012 12:54

Here I cum with a big Jar of sweet Whine:

I've noticed that the new weapon sounds now sounds less powerful than before.

Particularly the shotgun (SG) sounds more like a rifle (RG) now. And the RG sound has a "saturated" feel. Funny is, if you swap both sounds SG <==> RG, they sound better LOL.

I really miss the powerful sound of the Justice SG.

That is untrue, as I'm sure I'be checked all of them if they are packaged double within the sauerbraten directory. he textures just look similar for shader purposes.

well, the bricks and walls look pretty much the same, as some of the others. Could\'nt you just have used the included ones, with some vcolor/texcolor applied to them?

#78: Re: duplicated textures on mai Sauah!

by Q009 on 11/24/2012 00:16, refers to #77

That doesn't really make much sense because these "duplicate" textures contain totally different information. There's a texture that contains colors (the one you could call normal one), there's a texture which tells the GAME how it should react to lighting and there's a texture that tells how deep/high each point of the texture is. But these are only examples. So, they're not simply recoloured textures.

#79: Re: duplicated textures on mai Sauah!

by goldfire on 11/24/2012 00:44, refers to #78

then why do they look so similar if they are specularity maps or heightmap textures? When I generate some with a program I have they don't look like that :)

Also, another question that always keept me wondering:

Why are some textures put under "packages/author_name/" and now some are put on "packages/textures/"

When did that change and why?

(BTW i'm not being offensive, just curious.)

I started that trend to help to "eventually" organize sauer's structures a bit. So far people threw everything: skyboxes, textures, configs, inside a folder with their name and put that in /packages. A bloody mess that is.


The point is placing some stuff where it belongs. Put skyboxes in the /skyboxes folder and textures in the /textures folder. It cannot get much simpler.

You forgot mapmodels into the so called 'mapmodels' folder.

So is Sauerbraten still in developement :D. I would like to see a Cube Engine 3 someday, not some fork game like Red Eclipse or countless others. Although Red Eclipse does seem cool with its parkour and space feel to it.

Just remembered this. When I saw the comercial for the new Nexuiz on CryEngine 3, I litterally thought it was a Cube Engine game because the weapons and the characters just seemed cubish, not literally but you get my point

If you lurked on the forums a bit you'd know there's Cube Engine 2.5 thingy development going on. Aka. Tesseract.

#85: Re: ..

by Razgriz on 11/24/2012 19:12, refers to #84

That's basically the same Cube 2 engine but with attempted dynamic lighting.

@adamturok@ Cube Engine 3 won't happen for a few decades yet. Simply because it's not actually funded by anyone. And Red Eclipse shares the same engine, it's not a fork of Sauerbraten. It was a fork of Blood Frontier however before it went dead.

Ive seen Red Eclipse before. It can be a nice game if it is intended to be the next Cube. If anything I want to see Red Eclipse have top notch lighting, animations, and other stuff. Look at Rage that game was developed in OpenGL too and it looks AMAZING!!
