Interesting i hope you will finish it soon as possible and be good tough i like single player mode better then multiplayer altough multiplayer is more liked in Cube/Sauer.

make a load of teleports down the bottom or use the /water command to add water (water will be added inside the cube(s) that is/are selected)

i'm coding an oversized teleport for my mod, perhaps sauer needs something like it, or "teleport on contact" cubes. (that could be a nifty way of doing doors.)

you could always make a model that has a much bigger bounding box than the model itself is. the trick would just be to get the bounding boxes arranged right so that the player can't get out.

Just recede the ground down untill you reach the skybox. The minute they touch the bottom of the skybox, it registers as a suicide.

Here are a couple pics to show you what I'm talking about:

The tower itself - http://img37.echo.cx/img37/3757/suicide19mi.jpg

Falling to my death - http://img204.echo.cx/img204/7981/suicide26ni.jpg

The results - http://img232.echo.cx/img232/2869/suicide32xk.jpg

And if you absolutely NEED a ground tex, try making a skybox with the bottom being a common ground texture. It's not very pretty, but it works:

Good luck, and happy mapping!

by shadow516 on 06/04/2005 23:53

That tower thing gave me a great idea for a map - but my first priority is my SP map and my remake of DM-Fetid (Unreal Tournament map). I could get the second one out in a couple of days, but I'm having trouble with the curved pipes (Grrrr).

#1627: I'm horrible at mapping.

by Zmann on 06/09/2005 23:58

I've been playing Cube for like 2 years on and off, and now the Sauerbraten is semi-playable, I decided to try mapping again. After 2 or 3 test maps I've once again decided I suck at mapping.

I know what a good map is, I just can't make one. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Nothing seems to work for me. I model, then texture, and there's no textures that fit. Or I texture while I model, and then my map lacks structure.

Does someone have like a walkthrough or something to mapping?

i once wrote this:

maybe it can be helpful.
As for texturing/building: experiment a lot. Find the textures that work for you. When building always have texturing and their alignment in mind.

Liked the article. I hope some more people have some helpful stuff like that too.

And I don't know what you're talking about, I happen to like mak1. Now mak2, that map just has too many jumppads for my liking. :P

by makkE on 06/10/2005 02:13

Heh mak2 is a special case, either people love or hate it.
I´ve just come to like more clean designs, relying on a well chosen set of a few textures, that´s why I don´t like mak1 anymore ;)

Well, I did go back and check it after you mentioned it in your article, and while the textures did seem a little sparadic, the level design is great.

Mak2 has a nice texture set, but too many jumppads.

Combine the two for the ultimate map:

#1635: Coop Edit

by Alexander_Q on 06/13/2005 18:49

Hello there.

I've just started using Cube and have got the hang of building, texturing, arching etc, but I can't seem to save anything but a temporary map. I want to do a coop edit session but cannot figure out how. Can someone explain this to me?

Tutorials I read constantly refer to a "console", but I do not know what this means or how to get there.

Any help much appreciated.

#1636: Re: Coop Edit

by jean pierre on 06/13/2005 19:19, refers to #1635

Great hint

Start using SauerBraten :P

Saving is easy just type /savemap *NAME*

You can also do savegames like Tomb Raider by doing savegame *checkpoint*

by rootnis on 06/13/2005 20:10, refers to #1635

the actual help more likely would be:
to enter console press ~ (tilde) - the key just under Esc, there you can write command given by jean pierre and many other.

One thing should be noted: if you use a US-international keyboard (or any keyboard with deadkeys), the tilde won't work.

I need to change my keyboard map to "plain" US to be able to use tilde/backtick, single/double quote keys.

Deadkeys are used for languages with accentuated characters, like these: ãáàéíóú
