@1) *groan*, getmap/sendmap are on the TODO list (multiple posts already).

@2) the menu is easy enough to adapt for maps you add to "vanilla flavoured" sauerbraten - if they're played often enough.
anyway - on the console - you can use TAB-completion
just type "/map voo" and press TAB (a couple of times)

#99: Re: door models

by MeatROme on 05/14/2006 18:27, refers to #97

Are there any candidates yet?

Stuff that's being reviewed?

Maybe some mappers could post their needs here?
And the most representative/implementable subset could be grated out by those willing to contribute their modeling skills - which does not include my sorry self :-(

#100: Flickering

by SanHolo on 05/17/2006 23:27

This version lets stuff far away flicker much more than the march-version.

E.g. on the map "twotowers", if i stand in the middle of the higher tower and glance towards the lower one, the whole tower flickers. If I am close enough (e.g. in front of the jump-pad), the flicker stops.

Plus I get lower fps even with shader disabled, like 10-20% lower.

PowerBook G4 1GHz, ATI Radeon 9000M.

>This version lets stuff far away flicker much more than the march-version.

this is a known bug with the new occlusion culling mechanism and the (seemingly broken) mac os x ATI drivers

you can do "/oqfrags 0" in the console as a workaround, and i believe you can also add something to the autoexec.cfg with similar effect....

#102: Problem with Radeon 9000

by drizt on 05/18/2006 21:18

I installed Sauerbraten 2006-04-26 both on Windows 2000 and Linux Ubuntu 5.10, on a machine with a radeon 9000.
The result is the same, no error messages, but direct render does not work and graphics is terribly slow.
Strangely, Cube woks perfectly, so I don't think the problem is with my Card configuration.
Has anyone faced the same problem?

#105: making doors work

by Blackhawk41 on 09/01/2006 19:30

I know Im probably just stupid but can someone email me with an idiots guide to placing a door on a map and making it work. Ive tried to find an existing guide on the websites but have come up empty. I place door mapmodel on map I place a switch on map and then switch to play mode and nothing works i know there must be a way to set a trigger for the door but I dont get it.

load up the map door_demo in sauer and look at that. Then look at it's config in packages/base/door_demo.cfg Also remember doors only work in single player, mode -2
