Often people ask how to install a moviepack, how you make your cycle color different from your tail's, etc. Read on if you want to know how.<br />
<br />
== Moviepacks ==<br />
=== Installing a Moviepack ===<br />
<br />
[[Moviepacks]] are packages that completely change the look of the game. the floor, the walls, the cycles, everything. Nowadays, you can download many from different places around the net; for pointers, consult the [[Moviepacks list]]. They usually come in a ZIP file containing a ''moviepack'' folder. This folder goes into your armagetron advanced installation or user configuration directory:<br />
<br />
'''''Default armagetron advanced installation folder''''' <br />
<br />
'''Windows''': C:\Program Files\Armagetron Advanced\<br />
<br />
'''Unix/Linux''': /usr/local/share/games/armagetronad/ or /usr/share/games/armagetronad/<br />
<br />
'''Mac OS X''': None. The game is self contained and may be installed anywhere.<br />
<br />
'''''Default armagetron advanced configuration folder. Note that you have to enable viewing hidden files to see some directories. '''''<br />
<br />
'''Windows 2000/XP''': C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Armagetron<br />
<br />
'''Windows Vista''': C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Armagetron<br />
<br />
'''Unix/Linux''': ~/.armagetronad<br />
<br />
'''Mac OS X''': ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced<br />
<br />
''TODO: put folder locations in a single wiki entry and validate''<br />
<br />
''The armagetron installation and configuration paths should be somewhere else on the wiki, too''<br />
<br />
=== Problems ===<br />
<br />
==== Windows ====<br />
Sometimes you get errors after installing a moviepack, such as<br />
[[Image:moviepack_err.gif]]<br />
<br />
this means that the moviepack you installed is not complete, i.e. Armagetron Advanced looks for files that are not present in the moviepack. The easiest way around this is to first install the [http://armagetron.sourceforge.net/old/addons.html original moviepack (get the ZIP)] and install the moviepack you actually want ''on top of it''.<br />
<br />
==== Unix/Linux ====<br />
In Unix based Operating Systems, where file case is important, sometimes a texture doesn't display even though it appears to be installed correctly. to correct this, manually change the case of the file to suit. In particular, upper case extensions can cause problems. ie, change filename.JPG to filename.jpg and it will probably be OK. If settings.cfg is partially or completely capitalized, no textures will load even if they are properly capitalized. You should inform the author of the moviepack of the problem so he can fix it.<br />
<br />
== Installing a new model ==<br />
In your Armagetron Advanced moviepack directory (see above) locate bike.png and cycle.ase and replace with the new ones. It is important to note that there must be an existing moviepack installed to single update to a new model.<br />
<br />
== Customizing default textures ==<br />
=== Installing a different default texture ===<br />
<br />
ArmagetronAd allows to change textures of the floor, the walls, the cycles and the sky.<br />
All textures are contained in the "textures" folder. Textures are images displayed during the game.<br />
For exmaple the image on the outer wall can be changed by exchanging the '''rim_wall.png''' file.<br />
Instead of replacing any texture files, you should rename the original file and then copy the new one into the folder.<br />
Now you have a backup available if you want to restore the original.<br />
<br />
'''''Where to find those textures ?'''''<br />
<br />
'''Windows''': C:\Program Files\Armagetron Advanced\<br />
<br />
'''Unix/Linux''': /usr/local/share/games/armagetronad/<br />
<br />
'''Mac OS X''': ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced/<br />
<br />
Simply drag a moviepack folder to this location. Folder must be named "moviepack" only (no extensions or numbers).<br />
<br />
''''TODO: put folder locations in a single wiki entry and validate''''<br />
<br />
'''''Which file is what ?'''''<br />
<br />
'''rim_wall.png''' = texture for the outer walls<br />
<br />
'''sky.png''' = texture for the lower sky (the upper sky uses the floor*.png)<br />
<br />
'''floor.png''' = single textured floor (and upper sky)<br />
<br />
'''floor_a.png, floor_b.png''' = dual textured floor<br />
<br />
'''bike.png''' = cycle's texture<br />
<br />
=== Creating a new texture ===<br />
<br />
Creating a texture is as simple as making an image and saving it as described above. For the best results, follow these guidelines:<br />
<br />
==== Power-of-two sizes ====<br />
<br />
The size of OpenGL's standard 2D textures must be a power of two. If the size of an image isn't, the game (or more accurately, GLU) will scale it to the nearest power of two before sending it to OpenGL, resulting in lower quality. Powers of two include:<br />
<br />
* 2^0 = 1<br />
* 2^1 = 2<br />
* 2^2 = 4<br />
* 2^3 = 8<br />
* 2^4 = 16<br />
* 2^5 = 32<br />
* 2^6 = 64<br />
* 2^7 = 128<br />
* 2^8 = 256<br />
* 2^9 = 512<br />
* 2^10 = 1024<br />
* 2^11 = 2048<br />
<br />
Note that a texture need not be square; 512x64 textures are fine.<br />
<br />
==== Use transparency wisely ====<br />
<br />
There are several things to keep in mind when using transparent textures:<br />
<br />
* Because of to the way OpenGL prevents background objects from drawing over foreground objects, it might not be possible to see everything through a transparent texture.<br />
* Colors will bleed from neighboring texels (texture pixels) if both color and transparency are different. An exception to this is the cycle texture, which is preprocessed by the game and has no transparency in the end.<br />
<br />
==Cycle Colors==<br />
<br />
=== The basics of cycle color ===<br />
<br />
First you have to understand how computers understand colors. In armagetron, colors are saved with three values: the ''red'', ''green'' and ''blue'' (R, G and B) parts.<br />
Each of these three so-called RGB values can hold a number from 0 to 15 - 0 means none and 15 means as much as<br />
possible. A few examples:<br />
<br />
r 15, g 0, b 0 : strong red<br />
r 0, g 15, b 0 : strong green<br />
r 0, g 0, b 15 : strong blue<br />
r 8, g 0, b 0 : darker red<br />
<br />
you can also combine the colours (follows the same rules as when you combine red,green and blue light):<br />
<br />
r 15 g 0 b 15 : strong pink<br />
r 0 g 15 b 10 : strong cyan<br />
r 15 g 15 b 0 : yellow<br />
r 15 g 8 b 0 : orange (less green => more red than yellow)<br />
<br />
you get the gist. So how do you set these colours ? you can set them via the player setup menu, but if you want to have<br />
different cycle and trail colours, you have to use the [[Console]]. The commands are<br />
<br />
color_r_1 X # set red component of the 1st player's cycle to X<br />
color_g_1 Y # set green component of the 1st player's cycle to Y<br />
color_b_1 Z # set blue component of the 1st player's cycle to Z<br />
<br />
The best way to learn how to write the colour you want is to experiment a bit.<br />
<br />
=== Different Cycle and trail colors ===<br />
<br />
Remember me saying that the colors were saved as numbers between 0 and 15 ? Well, that was not entirely true. If you set<br />
a color to a value over 15, the trail part is set to 15 and the cycle is (usually) set to the actual value minus 16.<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
r 16 g 16 b 0 : yellow tail (r 15 g 15) and black bike (16 - 16 = 0)<br />
<br />
higher numbers can give you multi-colored trails. Again, experiment.<br />
<br />
For an exact explanation, see [[elaborate color explanation]].<br />
<br />
Developer's note: this behavior of the game is technically a bug and is officially unsupported. It is tolerated, though, because it's fun :) But some servers, especially team play servers where your color is no mere decoration, will clamp your color settings to 15 and this trick does not work.<br />
<br />
==Chat Colors==<br />
<br />
If you want to use different colors when chatting you have to use a different syntax for colors. For example if you want to say a text in red you would enter (at the chat prompt):<br />
0xff0000 this appears in red<br />
note that this is '''all''' zeroes (not o's), so zero-xff-zero-zero-zero-zero. This is important since it won't work otherwise.<br />
<br />
The first two digits after the "0x" indicate the red part of the color, the two digits after that the green one and the two last ones the blue part. They signify numbers from 00 to ff (0 to 255) written in hex (base 16); people who ever used color <br />
codes in HTML or CSS will be familiar with this. Only lowercase letters are accepted in the code.<br />
<br />
A few different two- letter combos are as follows:<br />
<br />
* ff: works like 15 in the bike color<br />
* ee: like 14<br />
* dd: 13<br />
* cc: 12<br />
* bb: 11<br />
* aa: 10<br />
* 99: 9<br />
* 88: 8<br />
* ...<br />
* 00: 0<br />
<br />
Note that you can use different hex numbers like in 0xab1234 which lets you chose your color more exactly, but in most cases you won't need this. If you are so paranoid that you think you need exactly ''your'' shade of pink feel free to read the article [[Bases]] on this.<br />
<br />
Other combos to get you started are:<br />
0x00ff00 this is green<br />
0x0000ff this is blue<br />
0xff8800 this is orange<br />
0xffffff this is white<br />
0xffff88 this appears in the normal chat yellow (no change)<br />
<br />
Developer's note: these color codes were not intended for use by the players; the choice of 0x as intro string was a bit unfortunate. Some servers will filter away your codes, so do your testing in a local game. Since it was not intended for use, no thought was given on usability, and for example upper case codes are not accepted. So use 0xff0000 for red, not 0xFF0000. And don't be angry about future unannounced changes to the format.<br />

{{Ladle}}<br />
Based on [[Ladle Feedback]], we are experimenting with another way of self-organising the competition. Team Captains are encouraged to use the [[Challenge Board]] to establish the provisional games to be played that night (Sun 3rd Sept). Otherwise Team Captains will have to organise play-offs by visiting the common chat-room to ensure all teams turn up and deal with any problems that may arise. If the preparations are abused in any way, then let us rely on Team Captains to organise it as they did in the first Ladle.<br />
<br />
One critical problem to solve: recruiting last-minute. I was most disheartened to discover that one of AW's established team-mates was effectively locked out of a server because it was full. We must be more careful about last-minute additions, as well as recognise that without these last-minute recruits the Ladle would have crashed at the outset. So... any practical suggestions..? See Last Minute Solutions below. <br />
<br />
== Team Captains ==<br />
Players must elect a member from their [[LADLE team-lists]], and all captains must put their names here to prepare for the night. Please make sure you have a reasonable form of communication with your team-mates, whether it is IRC, Skype, Team-speak, etc.<br />

* WPN - Durka<br />
* LOL - DDX<br />
* Wraith Squadron - BlAzE<br />
* Shadow League - Sky<br />
* Crazy Tronners - Xevi<br />
<br />
== T-room chat-room and [[Challenge Board]] ==<br />
;Durka<br />
;I configured my server for the Ladle Chat room. It's in colors and called Ladle Chat room or something like that. We will be using this instead of 2020's T-room. Team captains please report there around 30-15 minutes before the first round.<br />
<br />
Team Captains use the chat-room to register their team: their team is assembled at the appropriate server and they are ready to play. Team Captains should register at 6.45, 7.30, 8.15 and 9pm GMT. That is, at the beginning of every round...<br />
<br />
If the Team Captains verify the listing of teams on the [[Challenge Board]] before the first meeting, then the competition might run smoothly. If things get messy, then we must resort to trusting one another and allowing Team Captains the opportunity to challenge other teams and allocating servers on the day.<br />
<br />
'''Team Captains should familiarise themselves with [http://www.armagetron.nixda.net/cgi-bin/irc.cgi?adv=1 Joda's web interface] or connect to our [[IRC Channel]] using any [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_clients IRC client].''' If there's a need for private talk between teams they can make their own channel or use private messages.<br />
<br />
== Last-minute Solutions ==<br />
The following solutions need to be aired... check them out... and we must decide on one of them before the big day.<br />
<br />
=== Captain's Lock ===<br />
One simple rule: The Captains are the last player of their team to enter the server, and by doing so, they will fill the server and effectively lock it. That is, a match will only start when both Team Captains have entered the grid.<br />
<br />
During the time the Captain is out of the server, there can only be a maximum of 7 players since team-mates need to leave a space for the captain. Hence, the server will always remain open for last-minute additions and for late team-mates to join.<br />
<br />
The Team Captain should be in some form of communication with team-mates, whether it is a chat-room, team-speak, Skype, IRC, or whatever. They should know how many players have turned up for the day's play. If they have a full team, then everything will run smoothly, visiting the Captain's T-room to register and then returning to play the match. If, however, they lack a player or two, they have the opportunity of going around the different servers and doing some last minute recruiting. Their team should fill out and eventually the other team-mates will tell the captain they have 7 players and the Captain can return to the server, being the 8th member of the team, filling the server, and thus starting the match.<br />
<br />
This system should allow the flexibility for team-mates who are a little late. If, while the Team-Captain is out recruiting, a regular team-mate arrives, the team can ask any last-minute additions to leave, while still retaining the space for the 8th player -- the Team Captain.<br />
<br />
Of course, this doesn't work if we field teams with less than 8 players. The only solution using this system is to limit the number of players per team on the actual server and therefor we require the assistance of the admin.<br />
<br />
== a.o.b. ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Ideas & Discussion ===<br />
<br />
Just throwing out this idea to see what others think. Generally in the past it has been hard for all teams (even some large clans) to field 8 players. Also in general we are falling off on number of teams participating. If we had a recommended team size of say maybe 5 it would leave more players to form up in additional teams, or even have a (SL knights, SL samurais) split. You can only guess who the final teams in the playoffs would be, lol. Also having 10 players on the grid as apposed to 16 would solve some lag issues on underpowered servers. --Manta<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== max number of players ===<br />
(Will the player count be locked at 8 plus spectators? Alowing a few exra spectators really helps with switching out team mates mid game.) Otherwise sounds good to me. -- Manta<br />
<br />
Not sure... thought it was maximum of 16 in a server. I just don't want regular players locked out of a match like Madmax was in the last tournament. I had no way of knowing he was waiting outside. Also, one of the major delays was waiting for players to attend. I think we should be super-strict about time and everything else should follow. I agree about spectators, or subs -- but does the standard fortress settings enable a few extra spectators before being filled? [[User:2020|2020]].<br />
<br />
<br />
=== US Servers ===<br />
I notice that for Quarter Finals and After all the servers listed are European. During the Last ladle Bugfarm was very busy with looky loos do to that being the usual server people play on. Perhaps after the first round the US server could replace bugfarm on the list. Most US player average around 100 ping vs European players getting 30 - 60 on local servers so it seems that would be more than fair. Plus concidering Durka's pionts in the Feedback section. - GREAT job laying out the page 2020, it just gets better and better.<br />
<br />
Good thinking... the actual server matches are played on should be decided by the team captains with only provisional listings above. Wraith Squadron has already chosen to be Team 8 which means they want to play on the US server and it would make sense to have the continuity of the US server with Quarters between Team 5/6 v Team 7/8 and semi's Team 1/2/3/4 v Team 5/6/7/8... though I see no problem in adding it to the options for the Quarter Finals and later. Does this make sense? Please remember this is all just provisional to assist Team Captains make their decisions on the day as quickly and as efficiently as possible without anyone being in charge. [[User:2020|2020]]<br />
<br />
If someone wants to give me a yell a day or two before the Ladle I can offer up Swamplords Teams as a US server and increase MAX_CLIENTS, change admin pass and give it to the team captains who will use it. Lag is a serious concern on my server though. It didn't get much play during the SPOON because of that. --[[User:Lucifer|Lucifer]] 23:21, 27 July 2006 (CDT)</div>210.19.71.60
