This is a totally random question. I once stumbled on the ability to zoom in. I\'m pretty sure it had something to do with the mouse wheel. Could someone tell me how to do it again? I forgot

#3107: How do you delete Maps?

by Puff on 11/05/2007 10:19

Is there any way of deleting default Maps?

Also how can i slow the speed of the character? I would prefer a slower pace.

Thanks!

Maps are in sauerbraten/packages/base. Files with the extension .ogz are the maps, most have a screenshot and a CFG by the same name.

You can't slow the game in multiplayer, but if you want to slow single player, try playing with the gamespeed variable.

Have you tried Milkshape3D Tentus?

As many 3d modeling programs as I've used I always end up coming back to Milkshape.
It has it's limitations but it's simplicity, ease of use, and the ability to import and export most any format you can think of more then make up for it.

#3116: 3d model following camera rotation?

by aftasardem no kookies again on 11/06/2007 16:04

hi all. i was wondering if it is possible to make a 3d model(animated or not) rotate following the camera rotation, so the player can only see one side of it at all times, to give the impression it is 2d.
i was thinking in creating that old school flare effect, to put around the lamps. or foliage, like it was done in oblivion and many other games. or even cell shaded stuff like in okami.
it would be nice.
any of this is possible in sauer?
thanks in advance!

Can't help with the modeling, but there is a lens flare effect already (particle #32).

In fact, you may want to consider particles, rather than models. Check out how particle #0 is made, and work from there.

Greatly dislike it actually. I'm not a big fan of shareware in general, and Milkshape does not strike me as intuitive. As I said, the modeler I keep coming back to is Q2Modeler version 8.3, augmented with occasional use of version 9.11. I kinda like using GMax as an exporter.

#3119: Particles

by zheddo on 11/07/2007 07:25

Ive often sstumbled across the discussion of particles, and also very often people have been talking about things such as particle #32 and such things, however if i mave a newent and select it as a particle, i can only access the standart 3 types, the blue sparkly, the steam and the spinning fireball...

What are these higher particle numbers everyone talks about? And how can i use them?

The online docs are out of date. However, if you look in
Sauerbraten/docs/editref.html
there should be an entry at the very bottom about particles. I've copied it here, but without the table formatting I cannot guarantee its legibility.

Type Values Description
0 fire with smoke
1 direction (0..5) smoke vent
2 direction (0..5) water fountain
3 size (0..40), rgb (0x000..0xFFF) explosion, i.e. fire ball [*expensive compared to other particles]
4 direction (0..5), length(0..100), rgb (0x000..0xFFF) tape/flare
4 direction (256+effect), length(0..100), rgb (0x000..0xFFF) multiple tape/flare effect [*consider experimental]
Effect Description
0..2 circlular
3..5 cylinderical shell
6..11 conic shell
12..14 cubic volume
15..30 planar surface
21 sphere
note: +32 to reverse direction of tapes
5 percentage (0..100), rgb (0x000..0xFFF) capture meter, i.e. rgb vs black
6 percentage (0..100), rgb (0x000..0xFFF) vs capture meter, i.e. rgb vs bgr
32 red (0..255), green (0..255), blue (0..255) plain lens flare
33 red (0..255), green (0..255), blue (0..255) lens flare with sparkle center
34 red (0..255), green (0..255), blue (0..255) sun lens flare, i.e. fixed size regardless of distance
35 red (0..255), green (0..255), blue (0..255) sun lens flare with sparkle center

Ugh. Yeah, let's try that over.

0 = fire with smoke
1 = smoke vent
2 = water fountain
3 = explosion, i.e. fire ball [*expensive compared to other particles]
4 = tape/flare
5 = multiple tape/flare effect [*consider experimental]
6 = capture meter, i.e. rgb vs black
7 = vs capture meter, i.e. rgb vs bgr
32 = plain lens flare
33 = lens flare with sparkle center
34 = sun lens flare, i.e. fixed size regardless of distance
35 = sun lens flare with sparkle center

Aaaand I'm gonna skim over the values associated with those. Experiment.

I noticed when I copied that over that there's actually a typo in the docs, it has particle 4 listed twice, which means that it says that particles 5 6 and 7 are listed as 4 again, 5, and 6.
