the ability to save/compile exe
and a way to teleport between maps
and importing a bump map (I'm not talking about the height map feature.)
save/compile exes

I'm pretty sure you can edit the code for the _SandBoxLauncher.exe to open 1 particular map and disallow loading and editing. Of course even games with exes require their resource files, so you'll need the appropriate folders to let the game run. Even if you can't edit the sandboxlauncher you can easily enough create an exe which would just simply run "CLICK_ME_TO_START.bat" for example.

teleporting between maps

You can teleport between maps in rpg mode and I'm sure it's similar coding for fps. Go in RPG mode and type this into the console: /spawn "rpg_snow_portal" after selecting a square in editmode.

The code for that is:

Code: Select all

spawn_rpg_snow_portal = [
	r_type $ENT_OBJECT
	r_name "Winter village"

	r_interact [
		r_select $rpginterract
		r_telemap rpg_snow
	]
]
bump maps

I don't know what you mean by bump map...so I can't help there

No.


There is a feature requests tracker in place for that, so a new forum will not be added.

In addition, the feature requests tracker is already linked on the board index, so I recommend that you look a little harder next time.



Now, back on topic, please.

Hi all,

I have a problem with keyboard on linux, I use french AZERTY keyboard which is considered as QWERTY, so it's all messy for me...
Running on windows I have no problem, my AZERTY is AZERTY.

Also a non fullscreen mode option in the launcher will ease video tutorial, and image capturing and so on... I know I can find it in the option :)

Thanks !

It won't open the launcher on Mac (Snow Leopard, which is... 11?).
It gives the message:

"Last login: Sun May 23 15:45:47 on ttys000
/Users/my me.com username/Desktop/PlatinumArtsSandbox2.5\ 2/_SandBoxLauncher ; exit;
My-name's-MacBook-Pro:~ my me.com username$ /Users/my me.com username/Desktop/PlatinumArtsSandbox2.5\ 2/_SandBoxLauncher ; exit;
-bash: /Users/my me.com username/Desktop/PlatinumArtsSandbox2.5 2/_SandBoxLauncher: cannot execute binary file
logout

[Process completed]"

Any help here? It seems to be the windows version, yet I downloaded the 'multi-platform'...

@romu2089

keyboard layouts are not our responsibility, this is either a problem with X itself, or SDL, please take it up with them

@CrazyTeeth

apart from the 2.3 release, we have not had a working mac build in a long time. Simply no one here uses OS X (okay fine... none of the important people :P).
which unfortunately means you're on your own when trying to use sandbox on OS X.

There are a few things you could do, such as use a virtual machine or installing an alternative operating system and dual booting

After viewing several "Keyboard Control" errors... Im setting up a menu in Sandbox and Olympus that enables users to change the control layout of the engine. Especially movement keys.

qwerty key layout:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM

azerty key layout:
AZERTYUIOP
QSDFGHJKL
WXCVBNM

The ones highlighted in RED are the movement keys.
