#2767: Map release.

by #Sauceofallevils on 05/01/2007 15:46

I have recently released the newest version of odejoy, it's on quadropolis. It has alot of sweet new features. I added the autograss feature into it, also fixing noclip and playerstarts. This map has many new features, expect to have fun in this map.

Have an eye out for my future releases, I'm working at two maps at the moment.

#2768: importing maps

by seaniesean on 05/06/2007 04:02

hello, i'm a moron who stumbled across sauerbraten and downloaded it because it looked cool. I've managed to make a cool map and exported it to something called "md3" format using blender because i heard sauerbraten uses md3 format. Now, what i want to know is, is it possible to easily import this md3 file into sauerbraten, or is it a lengthy process involving copious amounts of metajargon? The latter, i suspect. Nonetheless, if the solution is simple, assistance would be appreciated. Or, i suppose if it's difficult, you could tell me how anyway. Cheers for reading.

md3 is a model format. You know, for guns and monsters and other smallish things. It is not a map format, and cannot be used as a map. All the mapping for Sauer has to be done in Sauer or Cube 1.

oh, so i can\'t use it for maps? that\'s a shame, i spent ages working out how to do that! Well, if it can\'t be done, then i\'ll try something else i suppose. Thanks for the prompt reply, i should\'ve come here at the start of the day.

The *WHOLE* point of Sauer is that it is its own map editor...

And you can (technically) also use the Sauer mapping feature to make models themselves (you can export world geometry to obj, which is easily convertible to something like md3.)

#2773: ..

by Acord on 05/06/2007 05:52

Here's a question I haven't found a good answer for:

I checked the config for some of the mpsp levels, and I've checked the docs, and can't figure it out: How do you make transparent level textures? I'm trying to do fences and such.

I've tried PNGs with alpha, I've tried the decal texture types and all that jazz, I think I'm just doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

#2775: Re: ..

by eihrul on 05/06/2007 06:37, refers to #2773

At best you can make a model with a skin that is alpha-masked (just by giving the skin an alpha channel). Just that the alpha values have to be either fully transparent or fully opaque, no partial transparency.

#2776: Re: ..

by tentus_ on 05/06/2007 19:39, refers to #2775

are there any plans for partial transparencies? I've been doing some spell designs that will look like poo without partial transparencies to soften the edges. I suppose I'll just have to work at a much higher resolution :P

Alright - so models support transparencies, the map ed does not. Bummer. Thanks for the help though.

by kurtis84 on 05/06/2007 22:59, refers to #2777

fences...just make a flat, one-sided model with an alpha-masked fence texture in .png format for the skin. Use geometry for the posts. By default models block bullets, and most fences wouldn't, but you can use an md3.cfg command to allow bullets to go through the model.

#2779: cube = fun!

by nuble on 05/10/2007 03:54

i started playing around with sauerbraten a few days ago, and i'm getting hooked! creating maps is just so much fun.

i was reminded of escher's relativity last night, so...

http://www.nikonmonkeys.net/escher.ogz

the basic geometry is done, and i added some tunnels in and around the map to make it at least DMable.

#2780: Downsizing a map?

by Sark on 05/13/2007 05:24

Hiya. I'm new to Sauer editing...as if it not too obvious...and I am wondering if there is a way to remove excess map space (ie. to make a smaller map base) without loosing everying that I've done so far? I've tried changing materials - but that doens't work. Any ideas? Thanks, in advance, for the help.

#2781: Re: Downsizing a map?

by Acord on 05/13/2007 06:35, refers to #2780

Try the mapsize command.

Or, just grab the parts of the level you don't want anymore and shove them out to the sky.
