WC Release [r931 / 2013-09-30]

[Thomas]

Hi,

We are happy to announce the first release of WC (Wahn/Wonder Client) and the ogros menu!

After a long long time of development and months of waiting...it's finally there!
If you find bugs or something doesn't work as it's supposed to be, then please tell us.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download:

Client (r931 / 2013-09-30):

• Windows: installer (contains both, 32 and 64 bit binaries)
• Linux*: 32bit, 64bit (old libc**: 32bit, 64bit)
• OS X: 32 and 64bit (10.5+)

Don't forget to install our menu as well (download below),
otherwise you'll be missing quite a lot things!

* If you don't know what package to get, then type "uname -m" into your favored terminal.
If the output is i686 then get the 32bit package, if it is x86_64, then get the 64bit one.

** If you don't know if you should get the normal package or the old libc one, then try
the normal one first. If your client doesn't startup due to unresolved libc symbols,
then you should get the old libc client. If you are an experienced user:
Check your (e)glibc version, if it is below 2.14 then you'll need to get the old libc version.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

• Client:
  • Windows:
    • Installation on Windows is quite easy, all you have to do is to run the installer.
      You don't need to backup anything, as the installer won't replace your original
      client. You can run both, the original and our client at the same time.
      The installer attempts to find the installation path automaticly, if it fails (e.g:
      your sauer comes from svn, then point it to your sauerbraten installation path).
      Once installing is done, you'll have new shortcuts on your desktop and startmenu.
      Start the client by clicking on the "Sauerbraten_wc" shortcut.
  • Linux:
    • Open your preferred file manager (e.g. konqueror, dolphin, nautilus, etc.)
      or terminal and browse to ~/.sauerbraten.
    • Copy the doc, data, packages and plugins folders into the previous opened dir.
    • Browse to the location of the original sauerbraten binary (e.g. /usr/lib/games/sauerbraten/).
    • Rename the binary to sauerbraten_orig and copy the wc executeable into this dir.
  • OS X:
    • Open another finder window, go to your home folder and then browse to
      Library / Application Support / sauerbraten.
    • Copy the doc, data, packages and plugins folders from the opened wc.dmg into the previous opened dir.
    • Browse to the location of the original sauerbraten package, right click it,
      choose "Show Package Contents" and browse to contents / MacOS
    • Rename (backup) the original file sauerbraten_u (OS X 10.6+) or sauerbraten_c (OS X 10.5) to
      sauerbraten_orig and the wclient executeable from the opened wc.dmg into this dir.
    • Now rename it to either sauerbraten_u (OS X 10.6+) or sauerbraten_c (OS X 10.5).
• Menu:
[list]
• Windows:
  • Open Windows Explorer and navigate to
    C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\My Games\Sauerbraten or
    startmenu->documents->My Games->Sauerbraten
  • Copy the content of the zip archive into this directory
  • Add exec config/main.cfg to your autoexec.cfg (create it, if it doesn't exit)
[/*]
• Linux:
  • Open your preferred file manager (e.g. konqueror, dolphin, nautilus, etc.)
    or terminal and browse to ~/.sauerbraten
  • Copy the content of the zip archive into this directory
  • Add exec config/main.cfg to your autoexec.cfg (create it, if it doesn't exit)
• OS X:
  • Open finder and navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/sauerbraten
  • On 10.7+ you need to make the Library folder visible first, checkout: link
  • Copy the content of the zip archive into the previous opened directory
  • Add exec config/main.cfg to your autoexec.cfg (create it, if it doesn't exit)

Great client, well done! Thanks for sharing.

[gear4]

great client but for this: http://83.169.44.106/users/thomas/sauer ... y_menu.jpg
the "Code" part, could use something explaining "%f" or "%d", like maybe "where %f is frags and %d is deaths". but hey, just my 2c

i dont know if it is in client or the ogros menu. It puts your servers on top of the serverlist. I deleted the servers.cfg but is written always again after start. how can i set back to default order in serverlist?

Huh? This shouldn't happen. Please make a screenshot and/or post your servers.cfg.

[flanconfx]

i can delete or change it. it comes always again. i use vista.

Code: Select all

// servers that should never be cleared from the server list

keepserver ogros.org 10000 "username/password"
keepserver dm-clan.it.cx 20000 "username/password"
keepserver dm-clan.it.cx 28785 "username/password"
keepserver dm-clan.it.cx 29999 "username/password"
keepserver dm-clan.it.cx 35000 "username/password"
keepserver ogros.org 20000 "username/password"
keepserver ogros.org 30000 "username/password"

keepserver sauerleague.org 20000 "username/password"
keepserver sauerleague.org 30000 "username/password"
keepserver sauerleague.org 40000 "username/password"

Ok, I found it, this should definitely not be the case. We will fix it with the next release, thanks for reporting it.
If it is urgent, then take a look at funcs.cfg (in the menu) and change the save_servers function, then type /clearservers 1.

[flanconfx]

thanks

[gear4]

newest version doesn't fix the position of "center console" (I think) whenever I try to talk/enter command into console (always goes 1 line up)

[edit]
also, it randomly minimizes. no problem with vanilla Sauer

[mefisto]

Hey, we've a couple of feature, um, "suggestions" aimed at making things more fun for tournament spectators, and spectators in general.

- Configurable size of player names above player's heads
- A big game clock (time remaining) somewhere
- Item spawn timer countdowns. Yeah, this is a dangerous one, maybe not a great idea. But if was locked down for spectators only, could make watching item mode games more interesting so they can follow what's going on.

Thanks!
-mefisto

[wahnfred]

@gear4:
the "wc-center-console" is above the mini console (which is usually configured for chat). this is why center console goes up one line
anyway, a screenshot or video always helps

@mefisto: added to todo

[Alebrije]

About the center console, how can i do customisable. I mean, select the messages to show.

For example, if only wanna see my frags in the center console, how the command centerconfilter <0-0x7FFFFFF> works?
variables on game.h
CON_CHAT = 1<<8, // 0x400
CON_TEAMCHAT = 1<<9, // 0x1000
CON_GAMEINFO = 1<<10, // 0x2000
CON_FRAG_SELF = 1<<11, // 0x4000
CON_FRAG_OTHER = 1<<12, // 0x10000
CON_TEAMKILL = 1<<13 // 0x20000

i try it: /centerconfilter 0x40000 but does not works

Why that messages (in center console) still continue to show in the normal console.
http://i.imgur.com/ShbQ21S.jpg

One more thing: you have considered the possibility of showing the flagholders in the hud (under radar) like in SauerFR (by Zehirmahnn)

Maybe doing this you can get the console more 'clean' just to show clients conected/disconected, server scripts, messages, etc.

Well, only sugestions.

[Alebrije]

Well, i got it (form the menu.cfg)

Code: Select all

"important information" confilter 0x01
"warnings" confilter 0x02
"errors" confilter 0x04
"init messages" confilter 0x10
"script messages" confilter 0x20
"chat" confilter 0x100
"team chat" confilter 0x200
"game events" confilter 0x400
"self frags" confilter 0x800
"other player frags" confilter 0x1000
"team kills" confilter 0x2000

And Thomas @->-- give me a release (of WW client) with the new command centerconskipinminicon to eneable/disable the same messages in the normal console (left right top).

thx Thomas

[Fatality]

Hm, for the highlight feature I have "Fatality, fatal, and fata" all as highlight words. But when someone says "fatality", only the first four letters "fata" are highlighted. I'm guessing this is a bug, is there any way to fix this?

It's not a bug - it's a feature. It just shows you the minimum substring matching your highlight rules - so you can improve it.
Anyway, on TODO is to add PCRE matching within next release.

Just a suggestion:
A friends list.
But not like the Crash Mod one, because (for me) didn't work.
I think the best option if you add it to todo, is to put it in wc settings/friens list.
The friends list could be like autoexec, but if you write your friend's nick it will appear in a special colour on servers.
Just and idea

Do you mean to give your friend's name a special colour in the scoreboard and so on?
