File Structure of Sauerbraten Folder:

Sauerfolder.png

If you are in the game data folder this will include several more folders/files including the game execuatable, game maps, textures, etc.

  • .cfg and .jpg files arenot required but may be included.
  • This folder may include more files/folders if you have added them.
  • Also note that if it is just the personal files folder then the bin, data, docs, and src folders will not be there.

Uploading Maps

Generally, when uploading maps the format is to place the map into a folder structure similar to the Sauerbraten folder if it includes multiple files(cfg, textures, mapmodels, sounds, etc) and then it is compressed (.zip is the most common). If it is just a map file then it should be fine to post the .ogz.

Screenshots/Movies

Sauerbraten already includes the commands for taking screenshots and movies so there is no need for external software for it.

/screenshot [name]

/movie [name]

If no name is given then the screenshot will be saved as: screenshot_<number>.png. Movies can not be saved without a name.
