I dont want to gravedig but what program did he use? Anyone know?

[eftertanke]

Bukz, your akimbo countdown script gives me "unknown command: if". I do have V-Man's tools.cfg and that message keeps repeating itself every like .25 seconds.

Theres a formatting error somewhere. It works correctly for me IIRC :/

Bukz, CubeScript isn't python. Try putting a few things on the same line.

Hehe.

A move/shift selection command to make the automation of repetitive mapping processes possible/easier.

[Frogulis]

1. Copy entities in editmode
2. Stronger knife (only takes two hits when enemy has armour, and start LSS with armour to make up for this)
3. King of the Hill mode
4. Female playermodel
5. Absolutely no RPGs! Would ruin the game, and all that time that people spent practicing grenade timing would be pretty much wasted. Imagine 19 noobs spamming with rockets while you try to play with some other weapon and normal grenades. Spawning would be hard! Plus the rocket was my least favourite weapon in Cube ;)

EDIT: And death or damage clips. Like in sauerbraten. This would allow dangerous mapmodels which would create more realism, without really making the game do that much more. The only problem is that this could lead to people abusing it (making maps where everything is death clips etc.)

I believe we should have strafe running look how it did in 1.0.4

For now there's /copy and /paste. I'm sure a scripter of your skill could write a script that creates such functionality.

[Frogulis]

Do the docs mention /copy and /paste? I've been looking for something like that for so long....This should make things easier....

[eftertanke]

I would still like to see some kind of "shift" or "translate" function. Without it copy and paste is sub-par.

[methgirL]

It'd be cool if after dying in a team-based gametype like TOSOK, to automatically spectate through a teammate, instead going right into free camera. I know it sounds menial but I'm just used to it being like that from call of duty and counterstrike.


Also, a way to filter out empty/full servers in the serverlist would be pretty helpful

[Bukz]

Copy and paste can't automatically change the current selection in edit mode, no matter how much script you have behind it. In order for scripters to begin automating nasty repetitive mapping processes, they are going to need something like a move/shift selection command. Select could possibly be used, but somehow we'd have to use (whereami, or something along those lines) to determine where to even attempt to move the selection to. Select works with coordinates whereas this move/shift selection command idea would simply work on axises if I'm thinking of it correctly.

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/shiftselection N S E W F

N could = # of cubes to shift the selection in the north direction.
S could = # of cubes to shift the selection in the south direction.
E could = # of cubes to shift the selection in the east direction.
W could = # of cubes to shift the selection in the west direction.
F could = flip the current selection to the floor or ceiling.

Or something along those lines, trying to do something like that with (select) and (whereami) ATM would be highly complicated and the script wouldn't be worth writing ATM, IMHO.

Also C+P doesn't work in coop.

[V-Man]

Reason number 17 to have CubeScript access to whereami. ;-)

[SuperSniper]

Every one would like a reload animation!!!!!

[V-Man]

- An ident which is like a more specific version of at, which can express the character at a given address in a given string.
Example:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

echo (charat "AssaultCube" 6)
returns "t"

[Bloodsport]

Is there any way to rotate or reflect selections copied in edit mode?

[Bukz]

Quote from reference.xml:

selectionrotate D
Rotate the selected part of the map in 90 degree steps.Argument Description Values
D steps

To rotate clockwise, use a positive number of steps. Note, that only quadratic selections can be rotated by 90 degrees.

[V-Man]

Quadratic here meaning 2-dimensional?

[Bukz]

Yes but, that's all cube is anways, so I don't really quite understand that docremark myself. :S

[Ronald_Reagan]

I think it means a power of two. Not sure.

[Mai Mee Tur]

There are mods for that, such as a_slow_old_man's

It means square, as in 2x2, 3x3, etc. You cant rotate a rectangle by 90˚ because it won't fit back in the space.

[Ronald_Reagan]

* Ronald_Reagan wins another point.

[jamz]

What? No you dont. 2 squared might equal 2x2 (if you see what I mean), but 3²≠2³.

[Ronald_Reagan]

Maybe I had an extreme memory lapse, but:
3²=3x3="Three Squared"=9
2³=2x2x2="Two cubed"=8

I was talking about the first one.
(I would've went to IRC to talk about this, yet you weren't there...)

[V-Man]

Documentation should say that you can't rotate a non-square area and have it look good.

[SnowOak]

Or pressing SHIFT to run and C to crouch.
But its only use would probably be in large/gema maps anyway.
And there aren't many large maps for that matter.

The game does not let you make reload animations, thus I post it so the makers of this game may put a reload animation in the game, slow_ has no such thing

I don't think there should be a sprint, and if you want C to crouch you could just bind it yourself.

4. Female playermodel

Someone was working on that and it looked pretty good too but they couldnt convert md5 files.

^ Lies.

Enable a switch to prevent the saving of backup files for maps, it just wastes a lot of space IMHO.

[Thorite]

I rather have tons of wasted space than have to redo a whole map for whatever reason. How about putting a cap on the amount of backup files a map can have, maybe about 5?
