#3475: Re: just an idea for combination locks

Good idea. You could make lockers with ammo, and safes with health.

#3477: Another question

by Titanic12ship on 04/15/2008 00:01

Hi, I have another question that I forgot to mention in my previous post: Is there a way to change one or more of the entset numbers of an ent using the config, AND have the change take place without being in edit mode? I am asking this because I am trying to make a red particle turn green when you push a button.

What value in physics.h adjusts the player's walking speed?

@3491 No, not possible, I would've done similar stuff with explosions otherwise... well it is possible, but it resets monsters in the process...


@3492, the value is named maxspeed

Not in physics.h but in shared/ents.h:

physent() : o(0, 0, 0), yaw(270), pitch(0), roll(0), HERE!!!->maxspeed(300)HERE!!!<-,
radius(4.1f), eyeheight(14), aboveeye(1), xradius(4.1f), yradius(4.1f), zmargin(0),
blocked(false), moving(true),
onplayer(NULL), lastmove(0), lastmoveattempt(0), collisions(0), stacks(0),
state(CS_ALIVE), type(ENT_PLAYER),
collidetype(COLLIDE_ELLIPSE)
{ reset(); }

#3482: New SP map The DAM

by rknigh21 on 04/20/2008 12:17

Here is a very large outdoor SP map with a non-linear playing style and a special ending.

On Quadropolis at http://www.quadropolis.us/node/1264

or my website at http://www.clearcrystal.co.uk/sauer.html along with more info and screen shots.

Monsters have invaded the valley, you must stop them and close the 5 portals they are entering through.

This is my first serious sauer map, It was a bit of an experiment to see how large outdoor open style maps would play. Had so much fun making it I decided to release it and geet some feedback.

Have fun.

Please provide feed, I need it to improve.

Have fun Robin robin.knight@blueyonder.co.uk.

#3483: can't load textures from console ..

by gabnolog on 04/21/2008 18:00

Hello,
I am trying to load textures which I have added to defaults_map_settings.cfg in the data folder like this:
texture 0 \"models/scifi/textures/door8.jpg\"

but this line works only from cfg file apparently .
When I issue that command I can see empy slots created in the texture\'s bin of sauerbraten though.
Also the new commands to resize , scale and rotate don\'t have effect .

Any hint ?

setshader stdworld

texture 0 "models/scifi/textures/door8.jpg"

Might work. Or, you could just put the texture into the map's cfg.

Hi,
tried setshader stdworld .. not working.
I wonder if it is a console problem or it has to do with how the function behave in real time ..


P.S: I can try embedding python for testing maybe and call that function from there .
Cubescript looks too intricate to me at the moment.

Embedding python.

Hm.

That is doable when modding and can even be a very good idea, at least from a few points of views. However, can an embedded Python be safely sandboxed? You don't want to create a too powerful script engine in the game because if someone (via virus, trojan etc) manages to inject and execute the wrong code into that environment, a lot of nasty things are possible for that "wrong code". E.g wiping out the harddrive, wiping out the home directory, installing backdoors etc.

I recall that Ezombie has been working looking into embedding LUA into a modded Sauerbrateng engine (as part of the Enemy Territory mod of Sauerbraten he is participating in). According to a post he has linked to elsewere, the LUA script engine uses very little resources CPU wise and also, it can be reliable sandboxed (so players can download the configs scripts from a central server and then safely execute them without getting their entire harddrive trashed or email client hijacked for spamming for instance).

Other than that, Python has a good reputation as an embedded language in a number of applications.

I second your point of view .
I guess that Lua working with c doesn't affect its potential.
Though , being a Blender user I am a python adept .
I would like to figure out if that would solve the issue first .
I am trying to import obj files at the moment and see if they can mimic a map(poor man solution) .

#3490: obj sauerbraten coordinates relation

by gabnolog on 04/22/2008 22:45

Here is what I am trying to do :
1- Export obj from Sauerbraten (/writeobj)

2- Import in Blender, texturize and export back to obj .

3- Import obj in Sauerbraten with a vertex array based obj loader I added to my Sauerbraten
( available here btw:
http://www.dhpoware.com/demos/glObjViewer.html )

How do I match obj to initial sauerbraten map ?

I know it sounds convoluted but this way I would match sauerbraten map(as collision map -clip material- and obj model as graphic map).

#3494: On lava

by Oh No Ghost! on 04/24/2008 01:24

Is there a way to make lava invisible without recompiling? I've tried removing the textures, removing the line that defines lava texture in default_map_settings.cfg (crashed the game) and using transparent textures for the lava, but nothing seems to work.
