Please post your bug reports in here.

With your bug report, please submit the following information:

1) OS: Your operating system, i.e. Linux, Windows, or otherwise and what version you are using.

2) 3D card: The 3D card you are using. If you do not know, this is printed on the "Renderer:" line in the console when Sauerbraten starts up.

3) The edition of Sauerbraten you are using, i.e. Assassin edition, CVS as of a particular date, or otherwise.

4) Error information: If you are on Windows, a pop-up message showing filenames and line numbers should show up when Sauerbraten crashes; if possible, post a screenshot or a copy/paste of this. If on Linux, post a log of the startup info from the console, including relevant errors or any info you might have discovered.

5) A description of the problem and how to reproduce it. Please give as much detail as possible on how someone can recreate the problem, in as certain terms as you can. If someone else can't reproduce the problem, it is unlikely he can fix it or tell you what is wrong.

#1: Clipped faces?

by tentus_ on 04/24/2008 19:12

1) Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
2) NVidia GeForce 9500M GS
3) CVS (Apr 24, 2008 at 12:45 pm)
4) Kind of an odd render bug, no number or anything.
Screenshot: http://tsholden.com/v_clipping.gif (564 k, multiple perspectives)
Map file:
http://tsholden.com/t_refuge.zip (1,551 k, entire map)
5) In a nutshell, some faces are not being rendered after a calclight (any setting of calclight will do). I suspect that this is due to the gridsize, I'm dealing with blocks of the smallest size partially overlapping other blocks of the smallest size. The end result is that there are these odd little windows through the wall. I've tried a few workarounds (in a few cases I can just get the wall behind it to render, making the bug almost unnoticable), but nothing has really worked.

#2: Slow on Mac OS X

by dfjkhdskjconorfhdjsk on 04/25/2008 04:02

1) Mac OS X 10.5 Latest

2) nVidia GeForce 8600M

3) Assassin

4) Evident while playing

5) I don't even know if this is something on Sauerbraten's end, SDL's end, OpenGL's end or the driver's end but Sauerbraten on a Mac (Not just me) runs very slow. This is quite noticeable when turning off shaders, using 720x480, everything including grass water stuff off and loading river_c or hades. The problem seems to specifically be the water, as hades runs fine until you look at some water.

/waterreflect 0; waterrefract 0

And in CVS, these will help too:

/waterfallenv 0; waterfallrefract 0

Yes, I forgot to say those were off too. It slows me to 3-5FPS still. I think even an 8600M Should be able to do this. It does it fine in Windows.

by a`baby`rabbit on 04/26/2008 08:32, refers to #5

Sorry, it appears (from looking at what is being said on other game forums) that the 8600m (I assume MacBookPro) running osx appears to have broken drivers...

Your options include waiting in hope for an Apple fix, voicing your opinion at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html, or debating your warranty with your local dealer.

I sent a feedback thing to Apple. I wonder if someone will actually read and consider it :P

#7: normal map colourisation

by Hirato Kirata on 04/30/2008 17:18

version : 30/04/2008 checkout at 22:00 PM at +8 GMT

SPECS: Linux 32; 8600GTS

The normal maps are applied as normal diffuse textures to the model whilst bumpmapping, causing blue/purple colourisation upon the model

#8: Edit Entity GUI

by BaNaNa on 05/03/2008 19:01

The edit entity GUI button, which is TAB does not work, it opens the scoreboard instead

#10: HOM

by tentus_ on 05/06/2008 05:41

1) Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
2) NVidia GeForce 9500M GS
3) CVS (May 05, 2008 at ~12:00 pm)
4) HOM issues, no numbers or crashes.
5) I noticed this when running about in WDCD, the skybox beyond the outer walls is suffering from very visible HOM. I went looking for other places this happens, and turned up nothing, but I did notice in hog2 that looking through water at lava has a HOM effect. That's a very hard to notice effect though, you kinda have to be looking for it.

#13: hmm

by conorkirk@mac.com(PeeCee) on 05/07/2008 07:39

There was an Apple update, and I got a little FPS boost, at least River_C is playable with everything off at 640x480 :/

#14: ..

by Finale on 05/07/2008 08:29

1) Windows XP x64
2) Ati Mobility Raedon X1300
3) CVS - not sure of the time, but current enough to see the new (weird) mrfixit
4) -
5) third-person view, has a bug of sorts. when respawning, the camera angle isn't reset, so the respawned playermodel is looking in the right playerstart direction, but the player is not. problematic, as the player would start facing walls etc. as soon as the mouse moves, the playermodel will face the mouse, but when death occours, the camera will still be looking at the last direction.

#15: Skybox reflecting on glass

by dangerstripe_dan on 05/09/2008 00:21

1) Windows XP
2) NVidia QuadroFX 1400
3) Assassin
4) N/A
5) I can see the skybox reflecting in glass inside areas that have no visibility to the outside.

#16: Re: Skybox reflecting on glass

by Hirato Kirata on 05/09/2008 00:34, refers to #15

that's not a bug, you need to place some envmap entities next to/near them that're inside the building...

what do you think they should show without having a specific envmap assigned? nothing ( NULL ) or the skybox :P

#17: Re: Skybox reflecting on glass

by dangerstripe_dan on 05/09/2008 01:13, refers to #16

OK, so this is a feature with the newer engine. I've been using an older version that didn't reflect anything with the glass to work on this map for about 2 years now. I guess I need to do some more tweaks to get it up to speed with the newer stuff.

Thanks.
