#4180: Re: ..Mac Dir

Thanks, I found that, very quickly.
When I go through User>Library>Application Support>sauerbraten I get four choices autoexec.cfg
config.cfg
packages
servers.cfg

But the only thing I find under packages is a folder marked "Base" that has all the map creation that I have done. It does not anything else in it like Skybox packages. So is a problem where I should delete and reload? Or is it something simple like downloading it from the next and putting it in this packages folder?

Thanks
Wolf

Things placed in the user directory take priority over the internal resources of sauerbraten, so yes, simply put new files in the correct place in the user packages folder.

Skyboxes are just images. You can find skyboxes on Quadropolis, yes, but you could also find others elsewhere on the Internet. Try Google.
Note that if you're making your own map with a custom skybox, make sure that you're allowed to redistribute the skybox in the map package. (Else you can only link back to the original.)

#4184: Particle Help

by Heretic_Leader on 08/06/2009 19:56

I am new to Cube 2 and I was just wondering how to add particles. Is there a window that opens up the particle type or does all have to be typed in scripts? Thanks for any help!

Never mind. I discovered the "Newent" command :P

But can anyone explain to me the best way to use the RGB code (like what does 0xFFF mean and how can I always get the color I want)?

RGB stands for Red Green Blue. The first value represents how much red you want (0 being none and F being the max), the second stands for green, and the third for blue. It's kind of like mixing paint, except that you're using additive color. After some playing around you'll learn how much you need to get what you want.

0XFFF is easy

FFF stand for RGB

example
0XF00

if you want a red coloured particles

Or 0xRRGGBB for those things that accept that form (e.g. 0xFF7F00 for orange; 255 red, 127 green, 0 blue).

Most image editing programs will tell you the hex value of a color, and will also accept a hex value to change to that color.

Hi
A am creating a small demo map and I want monsters to come out of a dark area. But the monsters glow!. It's like they are fullbright. I have tried various lighting commands and calclight options. Any suggestions please.

Thanks Robin

#4192: monster_dead_T

by Krayon on 08/11/2009 20:52

I know it's possible to make it so you kill a certain monster to trigger a door but how to make it so you have to kill all the monsters with that trigger to open? like there is a room and you must get rid of the entire room before the door opens not just one certain monster, is this possible? how?

It's not in the wiki, as far as I know, but here it is in the docs.
http://sauerbraten.org/docs/editref.html#texscroll
Just posted this link a few days ago, too...

By the way, eihrul, it might be a good idea to mention searching the forums in the links section of README.html. As it is, there's a lot of repeated questions.

I know about deforming cubes, but i wondered are there any videos showing how to make "curves" (it is a cube engine after all). i made a platform with a some part sticking out, and i wonder how to meki it connect trough a curve, slopes are getting a little boring

Multiple deformed cubes.

Normal cubes:
[_][_]
[_][_]

Two side-by-side corners of each cube, slanted:
[_]\
[_]/

That doesn't illustrate it well, but it's text. I tried.

Make multiple cubes and have them vary in how much they're slanted. Use smaller cubes for a more rounded look.
