Editing tips

Hey there! I would like to share my editing tips and they are not very complicated I may say. First of all you'll need an idea of what kind of map you want to make. Start from the scratch or you can modify the maps available to your own map. The editing tools is also important if you want to make a really good map. I can't explain some of the tools but I'll try my best.

The basic is making a cube. To make a cube simply click on the floor or where ever you want to and then scroll your mouse down or up. If you want to change the brush you have to press and hold G, while holding G scroll up or down to change the brush size. Coloring your cubes is easy if you press 0 because it will colour the whole selected cube. If you don't you'll have to color it face to face means that you'll have to color from one flat surface to another flat surface of the cube. Oh yeah, press F2 to choose texture from the texture menu.


Advanced tools are hard to use but very effective to your maps. Some of them may cause some destruction to a part of your map. For example the making of the hills by press and hold the H or the Ctrl key then scroll. after making a hill or a mountain or whatever with that command you should not change the brush size and resize the hill with the new brush size or it'll be ruin perfectly, looks ugly.

If you want to put a map model like a chair you should press F4 and choose one. To rotate it hold R and scroll your mouse wheel. Now lets go to the map making. You'll need to have ideas and imagine how your map will be. Then start working with it. It would be better to make a simple map if your new in map making system. Make a Space ship or maybe make an island.

I already started to make Omaha Beach during the WWII invasion, D-Day. Its actually simple but I wanted it to be more realistic and more fun to play. I'm a little bit stucked at the tank traps and obstacle because I'm still new in making stuffs too. I already finish the bunkers, the beach and the landing ships. I just interested with these historical wars.

If your planning on making a CTF, Capture the Flag map you must at least build some tricks for both sides. Also it must be a balance game, no disadvantage for any side as players hate it. Big map needs more player to play in it so if you really sure many players will be interested in joining your map then you should. But if your map is small you don't need to be worried with players issue.

So these are my tips for editing in Sauerbraten. Any edition will need these tips so its useful. By the way, if your wondering what my clan is up to, I'll tell you what we do the most in Sauerbraten. 40% Editing, 30% Sniping and 30% Assault. If you want to know some tips in assaulting you might wanna wait for the next post.

Thanks for your time, and good luck in Sauerbraten!

Sniping Tips

Hey there! I would like to share some information about sniping enemy. Well, you may think that sniping is about sitting at one spot and kill everybody from there. But for me its impossible to survive in that way for a match. When you kill a player go and find another spot that have a view at your previous spot because usually players will always try to kill you while your sniping so take advantage on that.

Theres a pro named 44Mag and I guess he is a German. He plays Sauerbraten: Justice Edition, right now. Its hard for me to kill him so I get to kill him 5 times in 5 minutes because he keep moving away from his previous location and drive me crazy for a bit moment sometime. He likes to play in Venice with Instagib team mode and score a lot for his team.


In Sauerbraten you can't crouch or go prone so its hard if you want to flank or take cover from your enemies. My way is to get on high ground and kill them from up there. Kill 1 - go to another roof, kill 1 - another roof. Keep repeating that way and you have the chance to get killing spree. When you get your killing spree don't get too excited as you might get killed by other player and lose your spree.

Getting a killing spree is a fun thing to get but getting the godlike is much cooler. I'm not sure of how much kills you need for godlike but I usually get it at a map named Valhalla. Big map and listed of one of my favorite ones. Maps with high grounds are my favorites as they suits my class. If your been thinking did map took advantage on your skills yes they do but sometime they give a minus to your skills.

Sniping should be at a place which has no other way to enter and this is a good way to prevent yourself from getting kill from any other direction without noticed by you. So choose your sniping spot carefully for example the only door leading into a house and many players try to enter it. If you know many tricks in a map you should try to snipe players in that map. For example Europium, Venice, Sacrifice and Carribean.

I'm sorry I didn't post right on time because I was a little bit busy finishing what my friends have requested for me to do. I hope you enjoy these tips and maybe the others too. Don't chase for your target but let the target hunt you then you'll trap him inside a building or where ever you decided. Backup plan is also needed so be ready if you miss a shot.

Thanks for your time and please do try it as it works for me!

Deadly enemies

Hey there people! I would like to inform you that theres a very annoying player named Zman inside the Justice Edition. The Anyson, LaTn, DC and BoB clan hate him. He cause destruction and he was the one who cause Anyson to break in the Trooper edition. Members hate him because he is selfish and chased the CL rank until now.

Thats one bad news but theres a good news too. Anyson will send the alliance request to the other 3 clans and together I hope we can bring this player out once and for all. He will spread bad things about Anyson and me, the leader. He even use me name and play as a fake Anyson leader. I just hope theres a way to clean this mess.


By the way, the map named Castle is finished and renamed to Castle_Siege. Not a very good map too. I'll post the picture here as soon as possible. In the other news, one of our member, |Anyson.C|Snipe achieved 260 kills in Instagib mode in Venice. So I raise him with the Grunt rank. He said his fighting with newbies but thats not count for me. 260 kills is 260 kills.

He said he used the sniping skill that I trained him with. It works like normal but the advantage is the map, Venice is big and contain houses. Big houses and be able to get on roofs using the rifle jump. Again I advice you all to practise long ranged attacks in map Venice as it suits for it.

Thats all! Thank you for your time.
