Hello again; hope you don't mind lots of questions from a new player.
Starting from co-op edit mode on /lanserver, I made some changes to a map then typed /savemap foo (my best guess at 'save as' so I didn't overwrite the original).
1. That name didn't seem to appear anywhere in the regular GUI map menus ... not a big deal.
2. When I visit again with /map foo, the basic elements are there (including things I added) but textures or some such are wrong.
3. When my son visits from his computer, he just sees a blank checkerboard grid. He's on the map, e.g. he can can see me and shoot ... though sometimes the shots actually hit him!
thoughts?
I'm on the downloaded version of Sauerbraten; not sure how easy it would be to build from source if that might help.

So i'm stuck on a mac. it's my only computer that I got practically free. in great condition too. I want to host a server. but Wiki only has instructions for Windows and Linux. any help?
any reasons are i want to host a coop edit server and a private dueling server with my IRL and steam friends.
UPDATE** Okay, server works, now how do I get it out of private mode? whenever I try to join it, it tells me there was a successful connect, but the server is in private mode. I've tried adding servertype 0 to serverinit.cfg. What do?
I was browsing through the Keys tab in the Mac GUI (one of 4 tabs available before running a game). There are a few items that I didn't see in http://sauerbraten.org/docs/game.html and couldn't figure out:
- LCTRL: allowspedit ... and RCTRL
- MOUSE4: universaldelta 1
- MOUSE5: universaldelta -1
Are these documented? Probably not important; just curious.

Hello. I discovered Sauerbraten awhile back; nice to see ongoing progress. I'm more interested in the 3D engine for future projects, but my son is interested in gaming.
I setup a server on my Mac and we were able to connect and play locally. I've also done the single-player bot match, and joined some open games. But, I'm a terrible gamer so don't want to let down a team of real players!
What we'd really like is people (he and I) vs. bots. I looked around the documentation and forums and didn't see this option; have I missed something? There's not much info about bots / NPC.
Thanks,
Scott
