Well, same source under Mingw don't create this bug. Simple information for dev team ++

#4836: Keyboard control issue

by cubicle on 09/02/2005 22:38

Hi,

I have just recently found 'cube' and tried some singleplayer maps.

One problem is that with the default keyboard settings, I have to use the mouse in order to turn left or right. The keys - e.g. the arrow keys - seem only to allow to strafe left or right without changing the view direction.

Is it possible to bind 'turn left' and 'turn right' to the keyboard? In the .cfg files I did not find the appropriate commands.

Thanks and regards

Andreas

You can bind keys in file Autoexec.cfg
(...)
bind W forward
bind A left
bind S backward
bind D right

Other configurations can be modified in file Config.cfg

No, turning with the keyboard is not supported by cube..
Get used to mouselook! It´s the only way to play an fps.

#4839: HELP

by leda on 09/03/2005 00:29

i'm really sorry, i feel dumb, but i don't understand anything about the readme file...
english is not my mother tongue... and above all, i'm a girl, lol...

but i'd would just like to find a really simple FAQ...
with some stupids questions like this :
-how can i change my name
-how can i put any of these commands line they tal about in the readme file (the soft is always answering that i can only do that in edit mode and when i press "e", blablabla, i'm not in coedit mode or something like that...)
-how can i see if there're some people playing on the server i'm connecting to
-is there a list of servers with the new cube protocol
-and last but not least, how to create our own server

thanks a lot, even if you answer only one of those !! ;-)

1. Open your autoexec.cfg file and put something like this in it:
name leda

2. Either press the 'tilde' key, mostly its left to the '1' key and above the tab key. Or press 't' and put an '/' before the command.

3. I think the number of players is displayed on the server list.

4. There are only a few servers, check the 'permanent cube servers' thread. Currently the masterserver needs to be updated, so it will accept the new servers and everyone can see them.

5. Depends on the OS you're using:

Windows: run cube.exe(which is in the bin folder) with -d as a commandline option. Its handy to do this from a DOS window.

Linux/FreeBSD: Start either bin_unix/linux_server or bin_unix/fbsd_server.

After the (dedicated) server is running, simply start cube as usual and do a 'connect to localhost' (from the multiplayer menu) to join your own server.

thank you so much,
i managed to do everything, except finding a working server with someone on it...
and... the last part... i'm not a DOS expert...;-) when i tried to launch the cube.exe, a black window appears but then nothing else, it's getting back to the desktop straight away... i can't type anything...

Its normal that you get a black window(thats DOS ;-)). The server will run in the background, no need for tweaking or something.
Map changing and gamemode changing has to be done via ingame voting.

#4843: A few questions...

by CircuitSix on 09/03/2005 06:58

Hey, i just installed Cube and on Win32 and i have a few questions. How do i run the game in windowed mode, 1024x768. I'm sure you have to edit some config file but i dont know the proper format for the file. If anyone could direct me to a tutorial for editing the file I would appreciate it. Also, when i go in the main menu and do multiplayer, and go to the server browser, the game either crashes, or gives me a list of servers. when it gives me the list, whichever one i click on, it connects me to (i guess) but no one is playing, ever, and its always the same map which i had previously loaded. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your answer! I am still used to play fps with keyboard only, e. g. a few years ago, I had a pure keyboard control in Descent-II (Arrow keys: turning, the four keys above the arrow keys: strafing, s, x accelerate and decelerate, q, e tilting, space, RCtrl primary and secondary weapon etc.).

But I will try to get used to mousecontrol...

Andreas

ok, so then after, i just have to give my ip adress to my friend or something like that ?

but how can i define a password for not all the earth coming on my server ?

#4846: ..

by -Rick- on 09/03/2005 12:23

Yea just give your ip, he/she should than type /connect <youriphere>

Password: For example, if your pass is "blah", than start your server like this:
cube.exe -d -pblah

Your friend should type /password blah before connecting to your game.

Edit the server.bat, leda.

@Circuit: to play Cube in windowed mode, open the cube.bat and add -t
Like this:
bin\cube.exe -w1024 -h768 -t %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

Been a while since I used windows...but I think if you make a shortcut to cube.exe, you can when you right click on it add additional parameters when you start the game...
You could also copy cube.bat and than edit the new file with a text editor such as notepad. If you do this change the line
bin\cube.exe -w1024 -h768 %*
with something like
bin\cube.exe -d -pblah %*

Oh thanks makke...never noticed there was a server.bat file aswell :-)

Just edit that file(add the -pblah) and run that file.

ok but when i tried to, the masterserver is answering :
server not registered : old protocol. please update your server...

but i think i've downloaded the last version of cube...

by -Rick- on 09/03/2005 14:29

leda: Just ignore that...the masterserver itself needs an update.
Give your friend(s) your IP and they should be able to join.

As for keyboard turning...I guess Aard never really thought about it since mouse aiming is far more popular/effective. It wouldn't hurt if it exist for sauer though.
