I am releasing a new Sauerbraten test build, and you need to care if you plan to play in the next SauerLeague event.
eihrul finally ported the SVN (the next-gen Sauerbraten) to SDL2, and so he relieved me of the burden of maintaining my SDL2 port. In SVN there’s also a bunch of new OpenGL code, meaning that things may go wrong on your particular setup, and you don’t want to be a little whiny bitch after release right? Also, the next SauerLeague anticheats will be based on this version, so you won’t be able to play if it can’t run fine on your computer.
So, download the test builds, and play with them! Build codename is C2SVN (collect 2 svn). Simple Installation instructions inside the archive.
Your configuration files are safe: this build will save its config in init-svn.cfg and config-svn.cfg. It will read just once your normal config.cfg (that is, only if config-svn.cfg does not exist at the time of launch). You will be able to play on both the collect edition servers and the next-gen servers, to enjoy the new protocol features (undo/redo, multiplayer vslots).
Please contact me, pisto, with bug reports, but not feature requests (I mean it, please don’t).
Honzik1: I want to be a little whiney bitch, anytime!
I do not understand. So this is ACC based on Eihrul’s latest SVN? So I have to install the latest Sauerbraten SVN?
So if I understand it right, this is SVN client which allows you to play on Colled edition and SVN edition but I dont have to install SVN, so I will not see new SVN content (maps, etc), right? Comed version of this client is coming soon?
I had to fix some binds already like:
saycmd => saycommand
kill => suicide
and also data/crosshair.png doesnt affect default crosshair now…
You don’t need to install the SVN. All the *necessary* SVN datafiles (the data/ folder and a couple of textures for editing in packages/) are embedded in the executable. This client can read collect map and can connect to collect server, so the bottom line is that this works just as the normal ACC, you replace the executable and you’re good to go.
Indeed some commands have changed. There are also new variables, such as fullscreendesktop (1 -> vanilla sauer mode that is sauer can change resolution, 0-> ACC fullscreen mode, sauer can’t change resolution).
It’s currently impossible to modify files that would be found in data/ (because the embedded archive takes absolute priority). For crosshairs you can just use ‘loadcrosshair mymoddedcrosshairs.png’.

Since I play on a regular servers very glad you are testing it, but probably I wait until full release and anti-cheat (maybe? I don’t use a cheats to play these game but if entering tournament servers requires it I still have to wait until its got released as full version not SVN please…..tired of testing anything…).
Anyway thanks to all people involved in development of such great fun game :D
Pisto’s SVN version is fairly bug free, so you won’t have to worry about crashes or any bad stuff happening.
