#4315: Re: Venice

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.

#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.

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.)

#4320: ..

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.

#4327: exploding barrels?

how do I spawn exploding barrels in the editor?
I used to know how to do this but I forgot.

Although the link in that description is broken. The fragment is missing an underscore (as it is in SVN, hint, hint).

#4330: Re: exploding barrels?

by Wolfos on 05/22/2010 22:36, refers to #4328

yes, I have read that, but all it does is create an entity called barrel without a model.
reloading the level still doesn\'t spawn a barrel.

#4332: Adjusting player height

by emstorm73 on 05/24/2010 12:34

Okay, this may be a strange question, but is it possible, in a specific map (or in the game anywhere other than code) to adjust the height of the camera that represents the player's view?

The reason I'm asking is this: In order to learn to work with Sauerbraten, my first model was of my own home. Well, the model looked appropriate (that is, it looked like the right scale -- If anyone cares, it appeared to me as though the smallest grid size represents a roughly 3" cube)... but... my player is apparently 5 years old, because he couldn't see over a 3 1/2-foot window sill!

I realize that the game engine was never designed for this kind of thing specifically, I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to modify my designs to fit the character height, or if I can modify the character height to fit the designs. I tend to design "real-looking" places, and that will be hard to do if I must make everything fit a kindergartner. :)

Before anyone says "Read the --- Manual", I have read through the documentation several times without finding anything I understood to relate to this issue, so... please help.

Thanks in advance,
Eric Storm

#4333: specscale values

by Pieter on 05/24/2010 16:44

can anyone give an explenation of these 3 values?

setshaderparam "specscale" 2 2 2

As far as I understand increasing them makes the specs harder.
Also, are there other parameters?
I need to know how to influence alpha, blending and specular falloff.

I've played with them but it seems it's highly dependant on the environment.

I'm trying to get rid of some plastickyness, and also make some metals more shiny.
