#12249: Re: Do anyone still play the first Cubes?

AssaultCube's a lot different than Cube. Good game, but not the same.

You fail to see the point, you could go and recreate the old gameplay with the AssaultCube code, as it is still actively maintained it is the only version of Cube Engine around that has "bug fixes (security issues most importantly) and extra features"

Of course I've thought about that, but then it would just split up the players who are essentially playing the same game, except some possible changed assets depending on their individual licenses. Getting people to adopt a new unofficial version would be difficult as well.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you're behind a router, right? If you are...you have to forward the correct ports to your server machine. The ports are in docs/config.html.

Thx for your respons!

You mean, i have to config my router?

"Servers use the ports 28785 (UDP) and 28786 (UDP)"

But why my server need a connection to a Master Server? What is a Master server? Look the server over my LAN to himself and can´t do that, because the ports are not free?
Is that right?

The spring edition is an older release. The latest is Trooper edition. Trooper was released very recently so I wouldn't expect a new release anytime soon.
On a related note, many people prefer the hudguns from the spring edition and trooper allows you to specify a custom hudgun set. Have a look through the docs and wiki and many questions you have will be answered.

Actually, if you just want to host a LAN server, then don't do any router configuration. Just type "/lanconnect" in the other clients.

The only reason you'd need to connect to the masterserver was if you're going to run a public server.

#12264: How to make a map execute something?

by BionicCryonic on 06/12/2009 23:52

I have a map with a .cfg and .wpt. I want the map to find and use those two files when you load it. Is there any way to do this? The .ogz/.cfg/.wpt all have the same name.

#12265: Re: How to make a map execute something?

by Hapexamendios on 06/13/2009 00:03, refers to #12264

You don't need to specify those two particular files. Just put them in your ~/packages/base/ folder with your .ogz and it will automagically find and use them for you. That is, of course, if they are really named exactly the same.

Note waypoints are not loaded until required, i.e. until a "loadwaypoints" or "addbot" command is issued.

#12266: Adding maps/mods/scripts...

by LukeG on 06/13/2009 03:09

how do i do it?

reply to this message

#12267: Re: Adding maps/mods/scripts...

by tentus_ on 06/13/2009 05:29, refers to #12266

Depends. Maps are usually dropped into the packages/base/ directory. There are a few exceptions (such as the enterprise map). Mods are often standalone, but you need to read beforehand in each case. Scripts vary wildly, depending on their intent.

#12268: well done

by jar on 06/13/2009 12:59

Hi,

I just to return some feed back and acknowledgements. The current version of Sauerbraten has done a couple of great steps towards more stability on my Unix-System.
Whoever puts that much effort in improving this game, Thanks you very much.
