THE POOR MAN’S GUIDE TO CREATING HUDGUNS
This guide goes over how to create a simple hudgun for Sauerbraten.

I. Whatchu’ Need
II. Building Your Mesh
III. Mesh Revision
IV. Texturing
V. Export

I. Whatchu Need
For this simple guide we’ll be using Sauerbraten, Blender and Noesis (unless your Blender/3D Modeler supports MD5). Easiest step.

II. Building Your Mesh
Now you’ll need your imagination, or an idea.
1a. Build your model in sections in Sauerbraten to later be arranged in your 3D Modeler.
1b. Build your entire model in Sauerbraten.
Here is an example from one of my older projects.
2. Delete the floor beneath your model (I like to replace it with a clip volume)

eihrul = I rule?

Okay, think about this: in the german language, "ei" is pronounced like the word "eye" or simply the word/letter I. Why german? Well, I am a native german speaker.
Also, a more valid reason is this: Sauerbraten is a german dish. Literally translated it means "sour roast", so I think using german pronounciation is a legit assumption.
The second thing is that in german, the "U" can be pronounced in different ways, for example like the "OO" in some words. Examples for the pronounciation I mean would be "cool" or "mule".

Taking both together, it would mean that "eihrul" sounds like "I rule". Coincidence? I think not.

Eihrul is AFAIK the current lead developer of Sauerbraten and Tesseract. Eihrul hosts important Cube2 sites, for example sauerbraten.org. Eihrul is the one who is responsible for the global authcodes. Eihrul hosts the masterserver.
If he wanted, he could have a tremendous impact on the community.
That all means that eihrul indeed rules. Perhaps his nick was meant to reflect that?

Pyccna's Challenge: May

An idea I had a while ago; a semi-monthly Quadropolis challenge to get some action flowing! These challenges will range from straight-forward mapping, to skybox challenges, to even totally obscure scripts.

THIS MONTH'S CHALLENGE:
Since this is the first installment, I'll keep it straight forward:

BUILD A MAP THAT IS OFF-KILTER

Rules:
Map must be of your own creation (ofc)
A majority of the map must be off-kilter (slanted)
Map MUST be under 200k WTR
Please try to avoid adding custom content to you maps, because my internet is crap & I might not be able to download if your zip is over 20mb.

Pyccna, I want to participate... how daphuq do I get in on dis sheit?
Just comment below saying you want to participate, & you're in. Whoopdee-doo.
Post your entry on a node, or just link it from this node in a comment, with the title "PycChal May: [map name]"

Challenge ends MAY 31ST
Good luck!
