Blurb A simple monitor

Detailed description

After it has been erased (except the comments of course), I'll release the model once again...

That looks like a poster strapped on a monitor's face. Add some glow to the texture!

unixfreak | 2011-09-12 21:23

Aswell as that, what about some kind of scanline or static effect?

Suicizer | 2011-09-13 14:26

I'm trying to add such thing, but Sauerbraten isn't supporting it by default.

Edit:
I've found an other way to do so and I hope that what I've added is just what you mean.

This could be added to several maps to promote the game further + we dont have this model

Too glowy now. You don't want it to be overbright :P

Besides.. i think you should make the screen's sides (padding) a bit thinner, it kinda looks like an ugly newbie's corner TV like that.

Suicizer | 2011-09-15 21:03

It IS a newbie corner tv. I won't denied that, because I AM a newb on 3D Studio Max or Misfit Model 3D :P. I'll change the glowyness tough (just a simple "md3glow screen 150" and voilà).

Odd, still cannot get the texture loaded.

Heres a link to that screenshot again: http://ompldr.org/vYWhnZQ/
I think the md3.cfg file is searching in the wrong place (at least it is on my system).

I'm not sure how the system paths are set up on windows (for sauer's data/packages folders).
Although on gnu/linux and freebsd it uses a local folder for custom data.

For example my game "data" files are stored in a system folder:
/opt/sauerbraten/

And the local data folder is:
/home/$USER/.config/sauerbraten/

Where custom maps and textures can be placed, anything here with the same name as a path in /opt/sauerbraten, will over-ride it. I have tried creating symbolic links into /home/$USER/.config/sauerbraten/packages/lunaran/*, this makes the whole map model invisible lol.

I have also tried changing the paths in the md3.cfg to hard coded paths, /opt/sauerbraten/packages/lunaran/glue2_d.jpg for example. But it does not work.

Anyone else using linux and got this model working?

unixfreak | 2011-09-22 20:51

Okay, not sure what is going on at my end lol, but i have got it working! I had to copy all of the needed files into the monitor/ folder like this:

I've also changed the md3.cfg to just the filenames, it seems to be reading them fine now, screenshot:
http://ompldr.org/vYWhodQ

Can anyone work out why i had to change the paths and mvoe the files?

Thanks for sharing this problem.

The Windows version of Sauerbraten just stores everything in it's own folder, that's why I'm so damn afraid of the next release, which I assumed it uses the same system as the Linux version does, but also like Open Arena and Quake Live handle stored data (and I truly hate it, because it would kill my workflow after being used to the old system for more than 3 and a half year now).

I know it works on the way of putting all texture just in the same folder as the model itself, but it's not my intention to let it work like that, since it uses unnecessary file-size, while it should work in the currently situation.

I'll add a costum-config for linux-users in future, which should fix that problem...

Why the hell am I not allowed to modify my very own node anymore?

RaZgRiZ | 2011-10-23 22:15

It's bugged, you'll have to make it anew.

Suicizer | 2011-10-24 00:05

0.0 Am I allowed to post a content twice? I almost have been "skulled" last time I did that.
I'll re-upload it soon...

RaZgRiZ | 2011-10-24 06:00

a bugged node is useless since it can rarely be "fixed". t-chen was lucky to have his own updated, but some seem to just break down completely and even make deletion a pain.

FischKopF | 2011-10-24 14:32

then the admin should fix it.

RaZgRiZ | 2011-10-24 15:11

Perhaps if Meatrome remembers what he fiddled with years ago and fixes today's mess.
