Ubuntu problems: New Map Model and rightclick jump

[Kilarin]

My 10 year old son is very excited about Sandbox RPG and has already tried editing maps. BUT we ran into two odd issues. I've installed Sandbox on both my computer, and his computer, and we have the same issues on both.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, his computer is running Ubuntu 9.04. both of us are on 32 bit systems. We installed Sandbox 2.4.0rc1 from http://www.playdeb.net

Issue 1: Right click on the mouse does not jump.

Issue 2: We can't place new map models. I've included some screenshots of this issue:

First I select a square, then select New Map Model and Grass (or any other model)


And THIS is the result (I've manipulated the image to make it smaller by moving the selected square over closer to the error message)


Any clue whats going on here or what we are doing wrong?

thanks!

All I know (and I hope this will be of some help) is that if you are running on RPG mode, the right click jump will not work because the right click is reserved for spells. That's if you're running on RPG. If you are running it on regular fps mode, then I don't know what's wrong. Why don't you try getting it from the following site: http://www.moddb.com/games/platinum-art ... /downloads

Right click is only jump in the FPS mode; it's a bit of a relic from upstream cube 2;
as the above poster said, in the RPG right click is reserved for spells (press TAB, you can already play with some of them )
I've forgotten whether or not the SSP does anything

the mapmodel issue
you should notice that e.attr2 and e.attr1 are the same; this means I was doing 2 fix entity calls...
the engine moves all the provided attrs up one, and sets attr1 to your current yaw.
I've fixed that in the RPG (and it seems that was the only place it occurred)

Right click is only jump in the FPS mode

ah! ok, yes, switching to FPS fixes that. I was going off the fact that the help menu in RPG mode still shows Right Click as bound to Jump.
Is there any way to customize or change the keybindings?

I've confirmed it doesn't happen in the FPS version. (Sorry, just hadn't tried FPS)
So does that mean I need to install a newer version? I'm using 2.4.0rc1.

Thanks again, this is an INCREDIBLE product!

Well, what happened is that Hirato tossed in a commit to SVN for the Sandbox source code. I can see the commit right here:

Code: Select all

Revision 1241 by hiratok on Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:51:14 -0800 : [fix model and player spawn creation (e.attr2 also had yaw assigned)]

What this means is that this bug is only fixed in SVN until Mike or Hirato publish a patch or another entire RC, which means you would be stuck with this bug for the meantime. However, there is the option of running the SVN copy (and testing out the more cutting-edge code).
You'd have to download the latest SVN copy and then compile it on your own in order to get it up and running.
More info can be found on this here: http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... evelopment
and also here: http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... ource_code

Just be careful, as this is development quality code.

so that might be related to the problem what I´m having: when I try to move mapmodels, then sometimes the whole sandbox crashes?
but I can place them perfectly fine.

I wouldn't think so, as this was about model creation issues.

I think I'll wait for the new version and just work in FPS for now.

thanks very much for all the help folks, this is an incredibly cool system and my son is enjoying it very much.

I should point out that can you can still edit the entities normally inside inside the RPG, it's just the creation that was a bit screwy
