EDITOR NOTES
Patch 2009_06_19 (1.7 MB) is available here.
DESCRIPTION
Sauerbraten is a free multiplayer/singleplayer first person shooter, built as a major redesign of the Cube FPS. Much like the original Cube, the aim of this game is not necessarily to produce the most features & eyecandy possible, but rather to allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, to create fun gameplay and an elegant engine.
The engine supporting the game is entirely original in code & design, and its code is Open Source (ZLIB license, read the docs for more on how you can use the engine).
In addition to the FPS game which is in a very playable state, the engine is being used for an RPG which is in the preproduction phase.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2009_5_4:
- new playermodel, IronSnout X10K

- in-game movie recording and also PNG screenshots
- new engines features like ZIP archive support, better grass, pre-compressed DXT1/3/5 textures for faster loading, fixed-function shadowmaps & dynamic lights, low cost blob shadows, particle culling, faster shader loading, revised post-process effect system, and more
- support for custom server ports, server passwords, public key crypto, and server-init.cfg for easier server configs

MOURITSDEBEER Absolutely great! I have had no flaws with this game whatsoever, and it never ceases to amaze me. It is great playing on oversees servers because there is no click-delay between click and shoot, which is original compared to other FPS-style games. Everything about this game is awesome (especially the music! I love the music. I don't know who wrote it, or who has the rights to the music, but its incredible! The drummer is fantastic). There is only one thing which bothers me slightly: is there any way of changing the crosshair? I have managed to resize it with the crosshairsize N code, but it would be great if we can choose colours and design for it. All-in-all, an incredible game. I was very surprised to see that a game of this stature is free!

B0B The .dmg appears to be corrupt, and fails to mount. I get the message "No mountable file systems" in the Finder using 10.4.11.

MACUPDATE ADMIN I downloaded it from the San Jose, CA - North America mirror, and the disk image mounted just fine. Here's the direct link to the file at the mirror I accessed: http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sauerbraten/sauerbraten_2008_06_17_ctf_edition_macosx.dmg

JUST FRED The problem is not with the .dmg. I've had the same issue with some downloads under 10.3.9. I downloaded this under 10.4.11 and it mounts just fine. You might want to run diskutility and check your file system. Perhaps repairing permissions will solve the problem. Also, try downloading the .dmg again. If you can, try using another machine...

JWD This engine looks really promising, and it keeps improving. To fans of open source FPS games: might want to check out Tremulous (www.tremulous.net).

RBRTPNTN Possibly you copied the sauerbraten.app without the data files, or changed the folder structure around it... Post support queries to: http://www.cubeengine.com/forum.php4
