ooooh, bad bad aard. i considered and rejected that method. your version is going to fail on any compiler / architecture combination where struct alignment/padding doesnt match up to sizeof(int).

Welcome to C++, which includes this nifty feature called operator overloading. In this case, operator[].

didnt realize it had been overloaded. that will make it a bit slower, but it definitely makes the code look nicer.

Welcome to the interweb. A forum works different from real life. Other people have complete freedom what posts they respond to. They are not obligated by law to respond to every post. You are not being ignored, but asking about it is unlikely to generate more responses.

just wanted to point it out that mp3 playback works fine if you have the smpeg library (http://icculus.org/smpeg/) installed AND SDL_mixer compiled with smpeg support.

this could be included in the windows bin dir.

we could also provide linux SDL with smpeg bin's too, most distros don't have it.

#847: player movement

by ssdd_darkstar on 06/10/2005 01:56

i noticed that when you're moving forward/backward and strafing at the same time, the speed is greater then when you're just moving forward/backward/side

is this intentional?

possible cause: forward and strafe speeds are simply added together, resulting in a total speed of sqrt(2)*speed

is this a bug?

by makkE on 06/10/2005 02:11

It isnŽt a bug, has been the same in cube. Stafing velocity is just a tad higher than forwards/backwards.
Leads to "strafe jumping" (just strafe+forward when jumping.. wasnŽt intentional, but became a well liked feature ;)

#849: sniper rifle

by b1tchgrandma on 06/10/2005 07:21

A sniper rifle would be nice. I guess the rifle that already in the game now is fine, but it needs a scope. This should be easy to do (fov).
Your engine is amazing, and I know you love the game the way it is, but is there any chance of geting a slower, more halo-like feel where sniping would actually be practical? maybe as a mod?

No that's cheating if you want a perfect Sniper Rifle in Cube/Sauer then it could be well used in MultiPlayer where people who knows camping could easily shoot from a hidden area(like from the roof's and snipe ya down)

Sniper Rifle = Cheating!

#858: Creating a Sauerbraten Manual

by da-mitaman on 06/11/2005 18:26

Hello to all!

I started piecing together all the sauer text files and the (staffy) tutorial (from quadropolis) into a single document format so I could print and read all the stuff in order to better learn sauer.

I was wondering, would anyone want to contribute any tips, configs, examples, etc... to help build a "real" Sauer Manual? It may be a good idea to have a polished document (i believe Aard wants one) that would be part of future releases. A good "owners manual" will help total neewbs, and perhaps attract and keep more people in this community.

A simple example on how to make a basic room, adding lights, etc... would be great.

I don't mind doing the editing / building of the manual, I'm going to do it anyway for myself from what I find available.

Of course any that contribute would be given credit if the manual becomes part of the Sauer release.

For now I'm making a word.doc, but most any format for a "finished product" is fine by me.

Any thoughts? Post on this forum or email me at:

mitaman1 - at optonline - dot - net

Please don't spam me, or else I'll or else the ogre will find you!

Thanks - MitaMAN

#860: Re: ..sauer manual

by da-mitaman on 06/11/2005 19:28, refers to #860

Morgaine2:

I like your idea very much. An ever growing "knowlage base" for sauer in a "central" web based location seems to be a wonderful solution. A direct link on the sauer main page to the "wiki" would guide everyone to the latest documentation.

I think my idea of creating a single document is good, but your point of sauer as a "work in progress" is well taken. The last thing i need is to spend what (limited) free time I have constantly updating a "manual" every couple of weeks (or even days).

Thanks for the input!

MitaMAN
