This map may only be used with editions later than Spring Edition, which contains the "lava" material for use in game.

This means that you need the CVS version of Sauerbraten.

you can add link to donwload?
:-)

*spends time to learn exactly what CVS is, and how it relates to Sauerbraten*

So, would I just need the material.cpp file, or should i just compile the entire cvs?

nevermind. one, i still can't figure out how to compile with xcode, and two, i can always just wait for the next release.

You don't actually have to compile the source in the CVS for this to work. There are working binaries in it...

Where? This is all new to me.

Windows binaries here. UNIX binaries here. You can probably just drop them in.
As for Mac binaries, I have no idea.

If you want to compile it (the best idea), you need to get the source via CVS. CVS binaries are here. Instructions here. Execute those two commands (replacing "modulename" with "sauerbraten", and it'll download the entire source into a "sauerbraten" directory below the current one. From here, read up on GCC and/or make (that's a program).

Of course, since you're running a different version, you won't be able to play multiplayer.

Well, got the source, but found out there's a problem with my xcode; it won't make or open xcode projects. So once i get that debugged, i'm fine.

thanks!

Not usually for the Mac (which is where I guess xcode is from).

You should be able to die in the most recent version of CVS now :)

Although, I've noticed that you only die when your eyes go under the lava. This is a tad problematic because the floor isn't far beneath the lava in most places, and it'd be difficult to fix considering the level is mostly all height maps.

Thanks! I sure hope it's playable enough, I tested it with the bots quite rigourously :)

I should chuck in some "discarded" minecart models :P

Thanks. I've played LOZTP, maybe I got some inspiration from it subconciously. I'd worked on this map sporadically over a period of about six months, only when lava was added did I really get encouraged to finish it (I started out with a thin layer of red water suspended over the bottom of the level).
