<p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Frequently Asked Questions= <br />
When experiencing problems running the game, this is the first place to look as it contains the fastest method of getting an ''answer'' to your question or a solution to your problem. Should your question not be answered here, use the [http://www.cubeengine.com/forum.php Cube Forums] to ask a question, and ''not'' the this page's discussion.<br />
<br />
If you're just starting out, consider going over the [[Beginners Guide]] and the [[The Readme|Documentation]], which touches on more topics in depth.<br />
<br />
Note to readers: If a word or phrase appears in a fixed-width (monospaced) font, <tt>like this</tt>, then it is likely CubeScript, Sauerbraten's scripting language. To use CubeScript, press the / (slash) key in-game or [[Scripting Guide|create a script]].<br />
<br />
<span id="sauerbraten_home"></span><br />
==Q: Where are my saved maps, configs, screenshots? Where do I put things I wish to add?== <br />
===A: In your Cube 2 home folder=== <br />
On Windows XP and down, you probably don't have one. Thus, ''C:\Program Files\Sauerbraten\'', or wherever you installed the game.<br />
On Windows Vista and up, if the advice for Windows XP doesn't work, try ''C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Sauerbraten\''.<br />
On a Mac, it's ''~/Library/Application Support/sauerbraten''/.<br />
On Linux, it's ''~/.sauerbraten''.<br />
<br />
<span id="screenshots"></span><br />
==Q: How do I take good screenshots?== <br />
===A: <tt>hudgun</tt> and <tt>hidehud</tt>=== <br />
<pre><br />
hudgun 0 // This hides the HUD gun, the gun that you see onscreen.<br />
hidehud 1 // This hides the HUD, including the stats and crosshair.<br />
sleep 10000 [ screenshot ] // Waits 10,000 milliseconds (ten seconds) then takes a screenshot.<br />
</pre><br />
For more detailed information, see [[Map Screenshot]].<br />
<br />
<span id="movie_recording"></span><br />
==Q: How do I record movies?== <br />
===A: The <tt>movie</tt> command=== <br />
Type <tt>/movie moviename</tt> to save as "moviename.avi" and <tt>/movie</tt> to stop recording. See the [http://sauerbraten.org/docs/game.html#movie_recording Cube 2 command reference] for more details.<br />
<br />
<span id="slow_game"></span><br />
==Q: The game runs very slowly, how can I fix it?== <br />
Performance is an issue with 3D games, and it is essential to a quality experience with the game.<br />
===A: Ensure you have up-to-date drivers=== <br />
Retrieve and install the drivers from your manufacturer's website.<br />
* [http://ati.amd.com/ ATI/AMD Homepage]<br />
* [http://www.nvidia.com/ Nvidia Homepage]<br />
<br />
===A: Manipulate game settings=== <br />
Refer to the [[Performance Guide]] for steps on how to configure the game for more speed.<br />
===A: Tweak graphics drivers settings=== <br />
Common issues with performance are settings in your graphics driver configuration that determine your quality. Many of these are forced. How to tweak graphics is beyond the scope of this document, please refer to your driver manufacturer's website for further information:<br />
* [http://ati.amd.com/ ATI/AMD Homepage]<br />
* [http://www.nvidia.com/ Nvidia Homepage]<br />
<br />
<span id="game_strangeness"></span><br />
==Q: Why is the game behaving strangely?== <br />
The most common cause of this problem is having configured (knowingly or otherwise) obscure settings or attempting to install over an older version of the game.<br />
===A: Remove your old config=== <br />
Most of the time, it should be sufficient enough to simply delete the file ''config.cfg'' in the game's base directory, this allows the game to load updated bindings and commands from ''data/defaults.cfg''. Read more about these files on the page [[Configuration Hints]].<br />
===A: Perform a clean install=== <br />
A surefire way to ensure the game will run correctly is to completely delete/uninstall and install from scratch.<br />
<br />
<span id="HOM"></span><br />
==Q: How do I fix the "Hall of Mirrors" effect?== <br />
This problem occurs most frequently on older ATI video cards or cards with incorrect or poor support for pixel shaders.<br />
===A: Limit or disable shaders=== <br />
You should first try the console command <tt>shaderdetail 0</tt>. Failing that, you may try disabling shaders completely by using the <tt>-f0</tt> switch on the command line as a last resort.<br />
<br />
<span id="game_systemlock"></span><br />
==Q: The game locks up my system, how do I get back?== <br />
===A: Linux=== <br />
With ATI cards, your problem could be related to driver issues with 3D Acceleration, for more information visit the [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fglrx Fglrx] article on [http://www.thinkwiki.org/ ThinkWiki].<br />
* Try pressing Control-Alt-Fn to switch consoles (from X).<br />
* Try logging in from another computer using SSH.<br />
If you manage to get to a console, run <tt>ps ax | grep sauerbraten</tt> to find the process id of the process (the first number) then <tt>kill -KILL N</tt> where N is the process ID. If you are unable to do any of this, it might indicate a hard lock which could be related to a hardware/driver problem.<br />
===A: Windows=== <br />
* Try pressing Alt-Tab until you find the ''console'' (also known as the command prompt) window for Sauerbraten. If you are able to select the icon that comes up with this, press Control-Pause/Break to terminate the batch process.<br />
* Try pressing Control-Alt-Delete (forward delete, not backspace) to bring up the task manager, to manually find the ''sauerbraten.exe'' on the process page. Select it and ''End Process''.<br />
If you are unable to do any of this, it might indicate a hard lock which could be related to a hardware/driver problem.<br />
===A: Mac OS X=== <br />
* Try pressing Command-Option-Escape to get back to your desktop. If the Sauerbraten launcher consistently misbehaves, right-click on it, click Show Package Contents and go to Contents>gamedata>sauerbraten.app. Select Sauerbraten and press Command-I to open the get info panel, and make sure you have Read & Write access.<br />
<br />
<span id="mapsmenu"></span><br />
==Q: Why aren't my maps in the menu?== <br />
===A: The game already knows about them=== <br />
Either use auto-complete on the console or manually modify your maps menus. See [[Script Demo - Map Menu]].<br />
===A: You didn't put them in the right place=== <br />
Look at this FAQ: [[FAQ#toc43|Path-Info]]<br />
<br />
<span id="monsters"></span><br />
==Q: Where are the monsters?== <br />
===A: Start in Single Player=== <br />
You need to be in a singleplayer mode (<tt>-1</tt> or <tt>-2</tt>) -- see [[Beginners Guide#introSP]].<br />
<br />
<span id="changing_my_name"></span><br />
==Q: How do I change my name?== <br />
===A: Use the commands=== <br />
Press slash (to the left of the right shift key) and type <span style="font-family: monospace,helvetica,sans-serif;">/name myname</span>. Note that your name cannot contain spaces. <tt>t</tt> opens your text-console, if <tt>/</tt> is the first character the input is interpreted as a CubeScript-command.<br />
You can put these commands into autoexec.cfg too (create if it doesn't exist); in this file you do ''not, I repeat you do not,'' need to prepend the <tt>/</tt> as all lines are interpreted as CubeScript!<br />
Welcome to the world of [[Scripting Guide|CubeScript]].<br />
<br />
<span id="ports"></span><br />
==Q: Which ports do Sauerbraten servers need opened?== <br />
==A: Read config.html== <br />
It's on the configuration page of your local documentation (README.html); always check there for most accurate information. Rumour has it they`re fixed at <tt>udp 28785</tt>and <tt>udp 28786</tt>.<br />
<br />
<span id="save_settings"></span><br />
==Q: How can I save my settings?== <br />
===A: Use ''config.cfg''=== <br />
The engine autosaves into config.cfg. You should always check config.cfg for "on-the-fly" scripting and personal settings before erasing it; keep it backed up from time to time. A missing config.cfg will be replaced by defaults.cfg and autoexec.cfg. autoexec.cfg overrides defaults.cfg. The engine first checks for a config.cfg, if it isn't there it uses defaults.cfg then autoexec.cfg.<br />
<br />
===A: Use ''autoexec.cfg''=== <br />
Put any required settings into autoexec.cfg. It's executed after config.cfg.<br />
<br />
<span id="screenres"></span><br />
==Q: The <tt>screenres</tt> command doesn't work, so how do I change my screen resolution in-game?== <br />
===A: Use the command-line parameters=== <br />
Depending on your operating system this can be either the sauerbraten.bat file (Windows) or a shell script. Add the <tt>-wWIDTH</tt> and <tt>-hHEIGHT</tt>, so if your screen is 1280 by 800, type <tt>-w1280</tt> and <tt>-h800</tt>.<br />
On Windows it might be advisable to simply create multiple shortcuts to the BAT and change the parameters solely in the attributes of that shortcut -- that way you can have multiple setups for running -- e.g. one with shaders and filters off, one with all features on that your card can support, etc. See [[Performance Guide]] for hints at what to tweak.<br />
===A: On Linux <tt>screenres</tt> works fine=== <br />
The <tt>screenres</tt> and <tt>fullscreen</tt> commands only work on UNIX based systems (e.g. Linux systems such as Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, etc.) or OS X.<br />
<br />
<span id="waypts"></span><br />
==Q: How do I make and delete waypoints?== <br />
===A: <tt>showwaypoints</tt> and <tt>dropwaypoints</tt>=== <br />
Use <tt>showwaypoints 1</tt> to make waypoints appear as blue lines and <tt>dropwaypoints 1</tt> to drop them as you move. When you do drop them, don't jump except when absolutely necessary (such as over lava or an endless pit), and don't riflejump at all. Run around all pathways in your map a few times.<br />
To delete all waypoints for a map, use <tt>clearwaypoints</tt>. To only delete in the selection, use <tt>delselwaypoints</tt> (think "delete selection waypoints"). If your waypoints aren't loading, use <tt>loadwaypoints filename</tt> replacing ''filename'' with a specified file ending in ''.wpt'' if it is named something other than the current map.<br />
<br />
<span id="windows_exception_dialog"></span><br />
==Q: I get an exception dialog on Windows, what do I do?== <br />
===A: Grab the output in the console=== <br />
This message contains information useful to the developers, you can contribute to eliminating bugs by posting a copy and paste of the output in the console window running the game on the forum. It also helps if you add information on your system (OS, CPU, RAM, GFX, drivers installed, etc).<br />
<br />
<span id="old_gfx_card_warning"></span><br />
==Q: I get the error "your video card is WAY too old". How can I fix it?== <br />
===A: Check out your system configuration=== <br />
A fatal error like this could mean several things. Most likely, you have a video card far too old to be playing Sauerbraten with. If you have a modern card though, it could be because you have failed to install the drivers for your card. Go to your video card manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers there (links at the top of the page). If you however have a modern card with proper drivers installed and still get the error, make sure that "extension limit" in your Nvidia/ATI control panel is turned off.<br />
<br />
<span id="old_hardware"></span><br />
==Q: How can I make the game run on old hardware?== <br />
===A: Tweaking Settings=== <br />
There's no easy answer to this question, as every computer is different. If you're having problems running the game due to graphical glitches, try the <tt>-f0</tt> command line option. For further performance tweaking see the [[Performance Guide]].<br />
<br />
<span id="development_snapshot"></span><br />
==Q: Where do I get the latest development snapshot?== <br />
==Q: How do I download SVN files?== <br />
===A: Use an SVN client=== <br />
Actually, most people will not really want to download a development snapshot from SVN, but since it is regularly discussed and hence asked about in the community: SVN stands for "SubVersioN" meaning that all the developers around the world share this system. So when you download from SVN you don't know what you're getting. You have been warned.<br />
Now just go and read [http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=102911 Sourceforge SVN Repository Primer] (for Sauerbraten). You will need to install a SVN client for yourself -- e.g. SmartSVN (a Java client that should work on most platforms. It is available from Syntevo) or [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortoiseSVN].<br />
Sauerbraten previously used CVS, as a sidenote.<br />
<br />
<span id="music_files"></span><br />
==Q: Where can I obtain the music files?== <br />
===A: In Fanatic's folder, or on his website.=== <br />
Check out: (Sauerbraten base folder)/packages/fanatic. There are a bunch of *.ogg (Ogg Vorbis) files there, numbered 1-41. The track names are also there in Track Names.txt. If you want to download the MP3s, go to [http://www2.fanaticalproductions.net:8080/ Fanatic's website] and look for the albums "Two Minute Warning", "Sauer Anger", "Panexypnos Dimiourgia", and "Spontaneous Failure".<br />
<br />
<span id="colored_text"></span><br />
==Q: How do I use colors in my text?== <br />
===A: Use the FormFeed Control Character=== <br />
ASCII-12, "\f" -- see the [[colored text]] explanation.<br />
<br />
<span id="compiz"></span><br />
==Q: Why is my mouse not working in OpenGL (Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex))?== <br />
===A: It seems to be caused by Compiz=== <br />
Try installing the Compiz-Fusion Button and switch to Metacity whenever you're gaming. For some reason, this fixes the mouse problem. See the following message and its followups on the official forum [http://cubeengine.com/forum.php?action=display_thread&thread_id=1890&start=112 Mouse Fix on Ubuntu 8.10].</div>Admin
