No, but there are save checkpoints. Unfortunately they are not persistent if you close Sauerbraten, so you have to really finish the level in one go.

Cube however has a save function.

1. Yes
2. No, you have to include the source code, see the license(s).

What about just preventing the users to edit the running game, but allowing them to edit it another Editing icon from the games\' folder?

Are you talking about preventing users from editing maps? or preventing them from editing the source code?

#52: Editing + characters

by RedFox5 on 11/30/2006 22:54

1) How come I can't spawn monsters and many other things in a sp level.?

2) How, exactly, can you modify the cubes?

3) Is there only one main character model?

4) Can you ever change your character model?

2)RTFM
3)1
4)No.

#54: Poly count of the engine

by MattStar on 12/06/2006 03:51

I\'m thinking of making a MOD using the engine, and i\'m just wondering how many polys per scene it can handle without too much trouble?

#55: Editing

by MattStar on 12/06/2006 03:55

O, also, can I use 3Ds Max and import models and levels into this engine or do I have to use something else, sorry if this is a stupid question.

You canīt import whole level geometry.
Maps are build with the ingame editor only. You can build your models in max, if you have a plugin to export to md3 (or md2). Not sure if such a plugin exsists for latest max versions.
You can use props of course, but for all map geometry you need to use the in-game editor (by design).

Look at the wtr count, or look at levels with /wireframe 1 to get an estimate on polycount.(I am not sure myself right now how wtr translates to tri-count).

Note that the md3 format is aging and may become inefficient if the polycount exceeds ca 1500 (especially if itīs animated).

\"2. No, you have to include the source code, see the license(s).\"

You don\'t have to include the source code. It's not GPL, it's zlib.

If you use textures/maps/models from sauerbraten, the user must download and install the original version, which includes the sauerbraten source code, yes. But then you may add a different executable, which may prevent users from editing. And no one forces you to publish your changed version\'s source code. If this makes sense is a different question...

And you can also just use the source code and publish a standalone game. No need to include the source code as well.

by Aardappel_ on 12/07/2006 22:13, refers to #58

you can't distribute modified copies of sauerbraten at all... sauerbraten AS A WHOLE is a freeware game, not open source.

Only the engine source is open source. That you can distribute modified, or modified exes without the source etc.
