I downloaded latest unix binaries from CVS and when i connect to coopedit server and do \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'/getmap\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' i get map with wrong textures e.g. box textures where must be sand one. And in textures menu i have only about 15 of them (only in coopedit)

Also, how to make water look like on screenshots?

P.S. im n00b and sorry if questions are stupid

CVS is for developers and people who want to see sneak previews.

No guarantee for usability or functionality can be given.

Wait till it comes out in an official release - then recheck the issue and if required repost your question.

Whoa, that is one fine looking water effect.

Hi there, voldemar. I had the pleasure to coopedit with you last night and I hope we meet again soon.

Voldemar, your card doesn´t support shader model 2.0, no fancy water for you, sorry.

And what about mine?I have Geforce FX 5200 ,can that run Shaders 2.0.BTW why do I have the feeling that Sauer is badly optimalized? I can run Doom 3 on Medium quality with 800x600 res with 45 fps in average and when I run Sauer I must change resolution to 640x480 and it still runs 20 fps in normalmap.

Is there a way to emulate this?

Koopaboy, it´s still in developement. A 5200 can support shader 2.0, but it simply hasen´t got the guts to push them properly.

check this.
I suggest you try -f1 -a0 -b16 -z24

And be sure to turn off antialiasing and anisotropic filtering in your driver´s settings.

voldemar, no way to emulate it. If there would be a way, your card would probably run it at 1 fps anyways.

Then... what nVidia card you will recommend? And from what manufacturer? (e.g. gainward etc.). :-) (for this game i can spend 70$ for a new videocard ;))

And I can spend 100-150$
tell me to, (I can only use pci low profile cards, unless i run it with the case open.)

gf6600gt is a nice mid budget card to run sauer. That´s what I got. Can´t give any further advice though, I´m no hardware junkie ;)

A GeForce 6600GT will be able to run Sauerbraten with all the fancy visual effects, and might only drop to a low of 50 FPS or so on deathtek with all the shaders turned on. Here its about $100 Australian dollars (around $75 US dollars or so). This is one of the best cards to run Sauerbraten on mainly for its value.

Be warned though, an upgrade might be useless if you have other poor components.. no point adding a 6600GT to a system with a Athlon 1400+ with 256MB or RAM you know :)

What are your other specs?

by conor1 on 09/11/2006 00:03

For me, my specs are

dual 1.72 GHZ pentium d (both procs) 1 gig of ram (i can upgrade to 4) and some sigma tel audio (surround)

BTW, this is a dell xps 200


(i am posting this from my dell optiplex gx110, which i play saueron somtimes, so my name is conor1)

ALSO: is this card a low profile? or not, i prolly could just run with the case open though :)


BTW this comp (the conor1 comp) has 256 MB of ram it is a p3 750 MHZ, and is using an nvidia geforce 2 with 64 mb of ram (i have no plans to upgrade this one :))

conor your specs should be fine with a new video card. im not sure what you mean by low profile but if your case is so small you have to run with it open just about any shader card will prolly get really hot if you manage to fit it in there. and just so you know unless you have two seperate physical processors you really only running at about 3ghz (and im not even sure if sauer takes advantage of dual core processors). but w/e slap in a vid card. i would recommend a 256mb. 128 is not going to be futureproof and 512 would be kinda a waste in your system.

My specs are P4 2.4Ghz, 512MB.

Is 50fps good or needed better?

ethan, he has a xps dell, which is a small-form-factor sized computer.. which means he will have to look for low-profile cards... there are alot of low-profile 6600GTs on the market (the new ones anyway) and have a look at the 7300GS (it is a dedicated small form GPU)

I know GeForce 5200 will not be good to run sauer at good fps number...

does it support the shader model 2.0 ? (with latest drivers)
