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.

#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.

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.

#4347: Re: Okay...

by emstorm73 on 06/01/2010 00:46, refers to #4346

So... why are they in the documentation?

Is there a version of the documentation that shows what IS available to the Trooper Edition?

No offense, guys, but it is virtually impossible for someone new to this system to use it when the documentation talks about things that aren't there...

#4348: Re: Okay...

by Quin on 06/01/2010 01:01, refers to #4347

Use the documentation included with your package. It should be in the 'docs' folder of your Sauerbraten installation directory.

As I said, the web based stuff was only updated recently using a version from SVN because there were some issues that needed to be addressed with them.

#4349: Re: Okay...

by emstorm73 on 06/01/2010 01:17, refers to #4348

Okay, will do. Thank you.

One last question: Why does the command "/fullbright 1" not seem to work? I checked my offline docs, and it's listed, so it should be part of the Trooper Edition...

#4350: Re: Okay...

by emstorm73 on 06/01/2010 01:18, refers to #4349

To be more specific: It does not give me an error... it simply doesn't DO anything...

#4351: Re: Okay...

It does something only if you are editing, i.e. hit e key.

#4352: *sigh*

by emstorm73 on 06/01/2010 04:27

Okay, that wasn't my last question, but this one's on a totally different issue. :)

I'm having difficulty understanding what's happening with my lighting. I have a (very small, by normal Quake map standards) room, with a light in the center of it, just below the (very low) ceiling. It is set as follows:

light 64 255 224 190 0

(I have no idea what that last 0 is for, but Sauerbraten keeps putting it there.)

According to the wireframe sphere around the light entity, this should easily encompass my room... but it's only lighting up a small corner of it. And the light, as I said, is in the center of the room.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening, or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,
Eric Storm

the light fades away when it reaches the edges of the radious specified.
also, lights with less luminance that others might not be not additive when placed within the radious of a stronger light.
last, lights with less luminance than the ambient light that fills the space their radious defines are not calculated, or if they do, its only a small part that has less luminance power than the light.
