[happy] Sauerbraten Client

A custom client for the open-source game Cube 2: Sauerbraten Collect Edition.

I tried a number of different Sauerbraten clients, but I could never get used to them. So, I decided to make a new one. [happy] Sauerbraten Client is meant to be a simple to use, feature rich client, that has everything you'd expect from popular clients and more, while keeping almost everything optional in order to keep the experience as close as possible to the original client.

Currently binaries are only available for the Windows platform (both x86 and x64), and I haven't tested the client on other platforms. I'd appreciate it if someone is willing to do testing and to contribute binaries for other platforms.

If for some reason you don't want to use this client, or simply want to try another one, you should definitely check out Sauerbraten Community Edition.

• Translation: You can translate text using the Yandex or MyMemory translation API.

  1. Yandex: In order to use Yandex you have to obtain an API key from here. The API key might take a few minutes to activate.
     Once you have your API key use /trans_yandex_apikey [api_key] in-game. You can now use the translation commands with Yandex.
     You are allowed to translate 1,000,000 letters per day but no more than 10,000,000 per month. Auto language detection is supported.
  2. MyMemory: When trans_yandex_apikey isn't set MyMemory translation is used. It does not require an API key.
     You are allowed to translate 1,000 words per day, and if you provide a (valid) email address with /trans_mymemory_email [email_address], you can translate up to 10,000 words per day.

  You can use these variables and commands to translate:

  1. /trans_to [language] set to "en" by default, the language you want to translate to, as an ISO 639-1 code.
  2. /trans [text] auto-detect language of text, translate it, and print the result on the console (works only with Yandex).
  3. /trans_ [from_language] [text] translate text from from_language (also as an ISO 639-1 code) and print it on the console. Both Yandex and MyMemory are supported.
  4. /trans_chat [line_number] translate text directly from chat, where line_number is the line you want to translate (1 = last line, 2 = second to last, ...) To bind keypad numbers from 1 to 6 to trans_chat, execute the script "data/trans_binds.cfg" (ie /exec data/trans_binds.cfg).
  5. /trans_late [from_language] [to_language] [text] [callback_function] translate text from from_language to to_language and call callback_function when the translation is complete. callback_function can use the vars "trans_from" to get the source language (useful if language is auto detected), and "trans_lation" to get the translation of the text.
  6. /trans_say [from_language] [to_language] [text] translate text from from_language to to_language and say the translation in chat (useful to communicate with foreign players).
  7. /trans_sayteam [from_language] [to_language] [text]] translate text from from_language to to_language and say the translation in team chat.
