#4285: How to play my new map

by sylos on 01/25/2010 14:26

I have been creating my first map recently and I now want to test it out with some bots in. I have looked through the documentation but cant seem to find out how to get to play it with bots in.
From what I have read it seems that I need to edit the menu.cfg file but as a noob I'm not sure if this is right or how I do it.
Can any one help me out?

Just go in your map and his the Insert key to add a bot, or the Delete key to remove a bot. You don't need to use the Bot Match menu at all. Just run around your map and you will automatically drop waypoints for the bots to follow, and you can use the "savewaypoints" command to cause the waypoints to be saved out for later replays.

If you don't have the Insert or Delete keys, you can use "addbot" and "delbot" to add and delete bots, respectively.

#4288: map size

by cassy-lee on 01/28/2010 06:14

Hi
I know this is potentially a stupid question, but how do you create a map that is 100x100? as far as I can figure, the default it 150x150..
thanks

#4289: Fog/clouds

by Diamont on 01/30/2010 18:56

Hello all,
I'm sorry if this is a supid question, but I have been searching to figure out how to make clouds or fog in a map. I found two solutions: /cloudbox and /fog. I was wondering if there is a better way to make fog, so that it's actually foggy instead of everything too far away to see being gray.

Thanks!

#4290: Doors, Elevators/buttons, Sound

by Trilli on 01/31/2010 14:11

I study the whole manual and search with, but I even don\\\'t know how to create
1. a function door which opens if a player comes near to it
(or opens if a button is activated)

2. and I don\\\'t understand how to create an elevator
I create a mapmodel and then I create a (invisible)thing called elevator on the same position
What must I do know?

Hope someone can help me
Would be nice, I making a big High-Security Prison with ctf and team, but it looks better with elevators and not with jumpnodes

Doors and elevators will not work in multiplayer, last I checked. The docs don't say that, which is weird, but very important: barrels, platforms, elevators, doors, monsters etc are reserved for SP.

Just take the smallest map size and remove any cubes you don't want.

Diamant: There is no real fog, mostly just a cutoff. You have to fudge it with lighting and a medium fog distance.

#4296: Glass

by Stotto on 02/17/2010 01:28

Am I right in thinking that in Sauerbraten, glass can only be done in whole cubes, and that if I want a glass wall, I have to make it out of hundreds of small glass cubes, and that also the faces of the glass can only be along the axes ?

If so, have the developers considered a variety of glass that only occupies the space where the texture solid would be ?

Alternatively, is it possible to use textures to make something that looks enough like glass in the existing engine ?

masterphreak: http://cube.wikispaces.com/FAQ#sauerbraten_home

Stotto: Materials can't be sloped. Only full cubes. As far as I know, there is currently no plan to implement anything.
I'm told there is rudimentary support for transparency in models, though what this means I don't know (and I don't want to make a bunch of models to test right now).

When I use /newent sunlight, all the shadows on the ground have jagged/pixelated edges. Anyone know why this is?

Maybe your lightprecision is up too high without the aid of the blurlms feature.

#4303: Map Location OSX

by Taters on 02/22/2010 21:33

i've been trying to play a map i recently finished over lan with a few friends. we're all on macs. when we join the server, only i can see the map, they can all see me floating in the air moving over the terrain that i can see and they can't. obviously they also need the map, but i can't find the .ogz map files in "sourcecode". do i need something like a mac version of gcfscape to access them?

thanks,

taters
