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

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.

http://sauerbraten.org/docs/models.html#mdlscale

That doesn't exactly answer your question, though.
The playermodel's (or at least its bounding box) height-to-width ratio is about 3:2, and as eihrul has stated, the playermodel is about six feet high, so about four wide.

There you have the dimensions of the playermodel, so now you know how tall your model is, and can scale your model accordingly.

(Of course, I still think eihrul is lying. The Ogro was always squat, and looked more like four feet tall.)

To answer your question literally: http://sauerbraten.org/docs/models.html#mdlbb
Though that's only usable when loading a model; so you'd probably have to add a playermodel just your your map... How to do this is left as an exercise to the reader.

Size is all relative, your only real reference is the surroundings. You scale your levels according to what looks right, not the other way around.

Are you planning on releasing this map? I would be interested to see it.

#4342: vcolor?

by emstorm73 on 05/27/2010 02:30

The documentation says to use the command "/vcolor R G B" to modify the texture color of the selected cubes.

When I type it into the console, all I get is "Unknown command vcolor". Any idea why?

I updated the docs recently using a copy from SVN to address some issues raised recently. The /v<cmd>'s are only available in SVN, not in Trooper Edition.

reply to this message

#4344: Okay...

by emstorm73 on 05/29/2010 07:16

Okay, so I can't use vcolor without using an SVN version. What about texcolor?

I have tried this both in the console, and in the map's .cfg file, with no result whatsoever. Here is what I put in my map.cfg (with the appropriate name instead of "map", obviously...)

texture 0 "emstorm/wall_texture_1.png"
texcolor .25 .5 1.0

This did not work. What, pray tell, am I doing wrong? The documentation is completely unhelpful.

by Razgriz on 05/29/2010 13:19, refers to #4344

maybe its a shader parameter, so try
setshaderparam "texcolor" .25 .5 1

i don't know anything else about it :/

This feature does not exist in the Trooper release at all.
