#4306: Editing Corners = Hanging

by Imagamer45 on 02/27/2010 02:55

Whenever I push corners, the game absolutely hangs for a second or so, and then the change is made and the hang is over. I also experience a very small amount of lag whenever I push/pull blocks with the mouse wheel.

Does anyone have any suggestions to get rid of the hanging and lag?

Oh, and I think I should mention that I can use Sandbox 2.5 (which uses the Cube 2 engine) with no lag at all when I do anything to the map.

This is Sandbox 2.5: http://sandboxgamemaker.com/

#4310: Mac help...please?

by Johnny K on 03/09/2010 20:30

So I just downloaded onto my mac. And i have used this before with windows. BUT... when i go to look at the different skyboxes, and possibly look into making my own, they dont show up in any folders. I know the wiki and everything says to look in the folder past aplication support, but the only thing in there is config.cfg, servers.cfg, and packages (folder). In the packages folder there is a folder called base. And inside base is untitled.ogz. Am i looking in the wrong place? or are the skyboxes located in another section of my computer?

The included skyboxes are inside of the Cube II application package. Right click on the Cube II icon and go to "Show Package Contents" and you can find them under "gamedata". The structure of this directory should also give you some hints on how to set up your files.


For custom content, it is preferable to use the other location, "/Users/YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME/Library/Application Support/sauerbraten/packages/" so that updated versions of the game can be installed without overwriting custom content.

This directory is empty because you have not put anything there yet, but it is also the default save location. In "packages" you can then create a folder for your work and place the skybox files in here. (Further organization can also be applied) When loading a skybox in Cube II, the path is relative to the packages directory.

If that is from some obviously-placed readme, we need a lynchin' squad for Mr. Johnny K. :P

#4314: Venice

by GroberKeiler on 03/12/2010 20:01

I accidentially overwrote the map \"Venice\" (by Garcia or so), how to regain it? Deleting all Sauerbraten files and reinstalling keeps the modified map.

http://cube.wikispaces.com/FAQ

At the bottom of that page is where you will find the location of your custom content depending on your OS.

Once you've renamed or deleted your venice map from that location, Cube 2 will once again load the correct venice map from it's main application directory.

HTH

#4318: rescaling texture

by Pieter on 04/28/2010 00:54

Hi guys, i'm a newbie, so sorry if it's a stupid question. But how can you scale a texture? I tried selecting the surface and the texture in the texture pallete and type "texscale 16" just to give an example. But nothing happens so I'm obviously doing it wrong :P

On another note, is it possible to disable the bilinear filtering on textures and turn it to nearest neighbour?
I'm trying to take a small texture and scale it up so the pixels become visible.
Trying to get a retro look that way.

#4319: Re: rescaling texture

by SheeEttin on 04/28/2010 07:24, refers to #4318

Well, something did happen, but you didn't notice. It applied to the most recently loaded texture, as texscale is meant to be used in a map CFG.

In SVN, as well as the to-be-released-shortly next edition of Cube 2, you can use commands like vscale to apply that effect to the texture(s) in the selection.
http://sauerbraten.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sauerbraten/docs/editref.html#vscale

As for texture filtering, I don't think you can do anything beyond toggling between bilinear and triliear. Just scale it externally.
(Alternatively, use solid-color textures and recreate the image pixel by pixel. Although this would need many more triangles, causing a small (maybe negligible) performace hit.)

by Pietr on 04/30/2010 00:15

Thanks, a lot of thing suddenly make sense :)

Bit unfortunate that there isn\'t a way to turn off the biliear filtering, but understandable as it\'s a weird \"feature\" in a relatively modern engine such as cube.
I\'ll try the resacling and cube thing as a alternative. Rescaling would be less efficient, but it\'s probably a negligible tradeoff on modern pc\'s. The cube thing is most flexible I guess, but a shitload of work unfortunaly.

Hm, leave it to someone who actually knows what they're talking about to get the right answer. :P

Well, kinda right. That'll also turn off filtering on other things like lightmaps and the HUD, so unless you're going for a retro engine look (early 90s? I wasn't into gaming then), I'm not sure it's quite what you're looking for.
