I recently reinstalled steam, to get a few games back on my new laptop (which is awesome btw ).
I've been browsing through the "green-lighted" games and here's what I found :

Starforge, which seems like a mix between minecraft and red-eclipse.
It's only in alpha yet and is sadly not free, but it's looking pretty amazing.

I thought that you could be interested.
So what do you think about it?

Might be online sometimes
And if I can suggest something, don't mod it too much or create a separated Feed the beast server.
DynMap is a must-have addon though.

Yay I'm not inactive

Actually it's the second one :p
And yes, there is an empty house at your name in the town...

He's french, don't look further.

A french mapper started something long time ago, it was based on Minas Tirith, but because he didn't know well Sauerbraten he gave up creating Minas Tirith and named his map "Yop".
Though, if I remember well there were some good idea. But actually not looking at all like Minas Tirith.

Sadly, I don't use facebook

I found a way to get an .exe, and that's useless... Still not working so...

I got 2 graphic card in one, and it should lunch the "High quality" mode when I play.
But sauer isn't an .exe, the computer think it's just a console and doesn't run the high quality thing. (Or sauer doesn't use it...)

So, I have installed sauer on my laptop, but I got a problem, it's running at 3 fps (even on the menu) with everything switched off ....
While I can run World of Warcraft or any other game with good settings without trouble :/

Here's the message I have when I lunch it :

(Computer is new :/)
It's quite unplayable, I'll be glad if you could help me

Edit : I found the problem, is there any way to make an .exe? :/

Hypertriangle was name based, you just had to /name [MH]SkyLaX and take admin

Isn't the IRC part of frogmod doing that already?

Few things I've been asking for a while
- A command that allow auto sendmap by master and getmap by the new player (I saw it somewhere, can't remember).
- Edit mute too (this is how I would see it) : each time you're in a coopedit server, when the master unspect you, you're by default "editmute", a message tell the whole the server that "unnamed" has been unspect but is not allowed to edit. And a message to the master only : type @editmute CN 0 to allow him to edit.
- Whitelist (why is it gone? prevent whitelisted people getting kicked / banned / blocked by mm3 and whatever, (could be used to move out some guys who take a server and MM3 while they are alone...)
- A warning when you mm3 (not sure if copy paste is still buggued when someone connect...) to avoid ppl abusing it, or a time limit : you can't mm3 more than a minute every 5 minutes ?.
- Blacklisted ppl that can't kick, (using master still allowed imo, so they can proove they can act properly).
That's enough for coop I guess...
Now for the other mode, auto balance could be a good idea (check each minutes, if huge difference, warn ppl that teams are gonna be balanced in few seconds if they don't do it, check again 15 seconds later, and balance if necessary). It could also be blocking capture or whatever if teams are really unbalanced...
Can check scores too, to see if the 2 guys can stand against the 5 other if they are good enough, I guess there's no problem.

(My english is still pretty bad, I'm sorry x'))

Happy (maybe a bit late) birthday ! 

Oh nice, then I can leave you this awesome and funny job

I don't want to be, errr, pessimistic, but...
How will we find the real accounts between the 160 members awaiting approval? :/

I agree too.

End @ 22h
Actually, there is two problems : Kick isn't cancelled, each new master is kicked/blacklisted if he try to kick for the first time.

What's wrong if they don't care at all?
I mean, they can surely be informed, but we don't have to argue everywhere.

[How will I know if I'm accepted ?]

How will I know if I'm accepted ?

An administrator will simply mark as [Accepted] if they think that you'll not disturb the rest of the clan.
However, you'll be still considered as "Applying" for a few weeks. During this time, you'll have to proove us that you'll be able to live with us.
It can last longer or shorter depending your behaviour, just try to be as you are .
The only reason for being marked as [Rejected] is acting mean in game (Wrecking map, insulting people, abusing master or simply associal reactions)

How to join faster ?

Normally, members should ask you to play a bit more with us to be sure that you are motivated and you fit the few requirements. But it can take time.
An old member can be your patron, allowing you to be with us as long as he protect you or you make your own reputation.
It also mean he takes your responsability : your mistakes will be his mistakes.
If you break rules while patronned, your patron is allowed to reject you : he can kick you without asking anyone else if he thinks you can't be in the clan.

[About Hell :]

About Hell :

It was created during may 2008. The main goal was to gather friends just to make random maps.
It was renamed into : "MappingHell" during June 2009, we had tried to merge with the other mapping clan but it failed.
We kept the name and a new tag because the old one was too long.
And after a few problems inside the clan, we're going for a new start.

How is the clan ruled ?

As before, no real leader. Every one will be able to start differents projects, ask for help and whatever he wants in the forum.
Some people will have more rights than others because they will be directing a project, administrating a server or whatever requires a fast and powerfull leader.
Thoses rights could however be revoked if the leader abuses them.
I'll keep myself and a few other trustful members a veto, allowing them to take fast decisions if they think it's necessary (keep in mind that a decision can be canceled if it doesn't fit the situation and that you're always allowed to talk to the admins).


What will Hell brings to you ?

Mostly friendly people to help you with everything you need or just playing.
You need to practice insta? Learn how to do a 5x5x5 sphere? Want to make a jungle themed map?
Thoses are a few exemple of what we will try to do for you.

It's over nine thousand !

Where is : less than zero? 

As you may have understood, the rules are going to change deeply.

You are still members of the clan (if you wish), so you are allowed to speak about that.
But to avoid this discussion spreading all over the Sauerbraten community, I'll ask you to speak here!

This is where you can whine, yell, argue, suggest or whatever. Have fun!

I would like to add something for the people who answer the requests.

The answers must be respectful and cordial.
No humiliation will be tolerated.
I ask you to argue at most to help the candidates and not only denigrate them.
Being member of the clan do not make you superior to the appliers.

(Yes, this is a warning. I wish you will understand what I meant.)

It was started looong long ago. By Sky.

Two years and few months for now.

Hello Fisher.

I'm a bit disapointed, the screenshots looks awesome, I would have loved to have to .ogz to be able to have a look to the geometry.
I can't say a lot of thing either, you seem to be pretty good with geometry, could you show differents things? (Lights, texturing)

At the moment, I would agree too, but please upload the maps !

Hello Aaron.

You haven't posted a lot of things to show us your mapping skills.
How much time the map in itself (I mean without all the secrets way, just the three houses and the mapmodels) took you to build? Because it's way too basic...
Who helped you for the map?
The texturing is also quite weird, geometry is ... ouch...
I'm not sure lava fit with the rest of the map.

Then the "exploration" part, I don't really call that exploration. It's just a bunch of "very-secrets-ways-of-the-death".
I'm sure you don't even know how to go at the top of the map without editmode...
Exploration, in my opinion, is the fact to find secrets ways (still visible, not a jumppad in a corner) to go to funny/beautiful and also USELESS things. They can't give you advantages over the others players who don't know them.

You'll have to show us differents maps if you want to join !

Hello Calinou, it's nice to see another french here !

> A few things about the map called "Paril".
- I would have loved to see a "background" : Buildings, roads, and something like a fence surrounding the map.
- The geometry could have been much more worked, it seems that you just made a small part then copy pasted it every where.
- Two interesting things : the rain and the clouds are quite realistics, it's a very good point.
- There are way too many healthboosts, they're very annoying and are just ruining the map. Try to keep in mind that it's a "bonus", not a part of any map.
- About the ammos, each kind of ammo are too gathered. I mean, in a corner there are 3 rockets, in another 3 bullets. You should try to distribute them over the map.
- What the point with the green particles and the arrows?

> The map "Egyptation" :
- Again the healthboost, 2 of them for a 4 players map? And no yellow armour.
- The "middle" part, with the water thing, is quite unused. When I ran in your map for the first time I didn't even notice there were others rooms.
- The geometry could have been much more worked too. There's no aesthetics thing, just "squares". (Beside the stairs).
- The light come from nowhere.
- I don't really like the textures. Don't ask me to explain why.

> The map "Ladd" :
- Just a demonstration of different ladders, pretty interesting for sure. I have nothing to say.
Nevertheless it gives you another good point.


> You call yourself the "Best French Scripter", do you have any script to show us?

> Is "speedmapping" the reason that your maps are way too basics?

Well, if you want to join us you'll have to work to show us that you are motivated
I'm waiting for new maps/contents to give my final answer.
