What happened to the connection to Sauerbraten?

The "show maps from Sauer" option from the map selection menu isn't in 1.4 which means you can no longer directly load Sauerbraten maps in red eclipse. Additionally any Sauerbraten maps you've already saved as .mpz files (red eclipse maps) will load the entire map with texture errors. Is this disconnection from the sauerbraten directory intentional or is it a bug that needs to be fixed?

It simply means that RE cannot find Sauerbraten automatically. Use "octadir“ to set it manually.

it kinda works, I typed "octadir Sauerbraten" , but only several textures manage to load. Why don't all of them :?

Because you need to provide a full working path. For instructions on how to use basic computer systems, please visit your local PCYC or community college.

That's what I did, there's more than one file the textures are in for this map. Am I correct to say the octadir can only use one path at a time?

Did you follow the instructions on this page? http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/r ... ne_Options
The [ -osauerdir ] command line option to be specific?

Depending on your Operating System, did you really type something like "octadir C:\Program Files\Sauerbraten\" (I think? Don't run Windows) or "octadir /opt/sauerbraten/" or whereever it is located? In your earlier post you said "octadir Sauerbraten", which isn't a full working path.

And yes, octadir can only use one path at a time as far as I know. It's pretty strange to need more than one path anyway, unless you have multiple incomplete installations of Sauerbraten on your system (in which case the problem is not octadir).

Use "addpackagedir" for adding other folders.

Exactly what files controlled the automatic octadir in the previous releases?
