#12453: Re: Torrent to Download Cube?

by SheeEttin on 08/12/2009 22:24, refers to #12452

Sourceforge has several mirrors for all project downloads. Poke around (starting at the download page) for the list, and try a different (preferably closer) one.

You can try searching for a torrent on your favorite site, though. Someone might have uploaded it.

#12454: Minor mods for Bot Matches

by FreddyB on 08/13/2009 05:44

I've been killing some time lately playing bot matches. I made a few trivial changes and thought I would share them since someone else might enjoy them, too.

1. Changed A.I. so that enemies 'see' you within 50 units regardless of angle (i.e. hearing range) and narrowed the fov at distance so it takes a little longer for a distant bot sniper to find you. I didn't like walking up to a bot and blowing him away without a reaction. I also didn't like snipers instantly locking on to me from a mile away.

2. Changed weapons so that getting hit knocks your orientation a bit. (This affects humans but not the bots because they instantly re-orient.)

3. Changed the weapons preference so that pistol is preferred over grenades because AI is not smart enough to be trusted with them. They seem to suicide/fraticide more than kill with grenades.

Here are the patches to the svn version:

The patches I listed also give a pitch up along with the gun kick. I forgot to put that in the post.

#12460: Cube 1 Binary/Source

by demonx2381 on 08/14/2009 08:17

I need to know any of the following, if possible:
1. Is there still a SVN for the original Cube? If so, what is it?
2. Do you have the source for the last Cube 1 rev? If so, might you be able to send it to me?
3. Do you have a Macintosh Binary made from the SVN of the last Cube 1 rev? If so, might you be able to send it to me?
4. Is there any way to change the network protocol in the official release to that of the SVN?

I need this information so I can use the iPhone/iPod build of Cube on a multiplayer server. Any information you can provide regarding this is appreaciated. Thank you in advance.

#12461: Walk mod - School project

by Skribble on 08/14/2009 08:20

Hey guys. I've been using Sauerbraten at school for the last few weeks and it's tons of fun. I'm currently working on a little mod for class and I'd like to be able to slow the character down a bit.

I've read there is no variable to change this speed, and that it must be hard-coded and recompiled in to SB itself. I've attempted this a few times myself, as I'm quite used to programming, but I am unfamiliar with C++ and each attempt has failed.

I followed some instructions to alter the game.h file to add a maxspeed = 100f; variable, but I wasn't sure if I should just edit the file in the SB or if I had to do it in a C++ editor, etc.

If I could just get a quick response on what I should actually do to alter this aspect of gameplay, that would be very appreciated!

Thanks in advance, Brendan.

#12462: Re: Cube 1 Binary/Source

by baby~rabbit on 08/14/2009 13:20, refers to #12460

1/ no svn/cvs.
2/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cube/files/
3/ see above - but the protocol of the binary is different from that in the source.
4/ just compile the source above.

iphone cube 1.7+ uses a slightly modified protocol so you won't be able to build a server regardless.

#12463: Running a Server opens you to a permanent PING FLOOD!

by rixter on 08/14/2009 15:11

I ran a dedicated linux server for MONTHS (it was Rick Nickell's Frag Fest and then eventually Buster's Frag Fest) and had to take it down because the architecture of this game actually ends up acting like a ping flooding bot net, slowing down your machine's networking capability horribly.

I had to take the server down because of that, and what amounts to WEEKS after I took it down, I am STILL getting ping flooded by all the clients that still have my server in their server list!

There should be a change in the architecture that allows a server master to have the server REMOVED from the master servers, as well as have that server flagged as removed on the client side, so it isn't pinged forever and ever.

All you'd have to do is edit the file and recompile.
Cube 2 includes several IDE project files (including Code::Blocks) for you to load.

This has also been discussed before, please search the forum.

#12466: Re: Running a Server opens you to a permanent PING FLOOD!

by SleepwalkR on 08/15/2009 11:26, refers to #12463

Rixter, please give me your server's ip so that I can check whether the master server still lists that adress. The master should forget any server that doesn't reply to a ping (sent every couple of minutes) and not deliver that server to the clients anymore.

I don't know whether the client forgets about servers, but the master should.

#12468: A question on crosshair scripts

#12469: Re: A question on crosshair scripts

by Hirato Kirata on 08/16/2009 02:59, refers to #12468

the script is a lie!

on the other hand, if you'd feel sufficiently compensated with code, look at
int selectcrosshair(float &r, float &g, float &b)
inside src/fpsgame/fps.cpp

#12473: Predictions

by fispaul on 08/18/2009 18:15

This is a really pointless thread, so don't take it too seriously or anything, I just have little better to do right now.

I DO NOT OWN THE SVN OR VS VERSION, I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON THERE, SO IF ANY OF THIS ALREADY IS THERE, SORRY,
IM NOT CHEATING

I shall use my okayish predicting skills to a test and predict the changes that will come to the next version of Sauer.

- Again, TONS of new maps

- No new singleplayer levels, mainly because the big standalone one is in development and there's nothing too good on quadro, but maybe

-Since there's not too much to change about gameplay, it'll be mainly about editing. There will be tons of new skyboxes and textures, maybe mapmodels, new ones or improved old ones.

- No new soundtrack I predict

- Maybe, just MAYBE some improved SP monsters. No, I dont mean AI, that wont happen, but maybe new models or something from the singleplayer campaign in development will be brought to Sauer.

- Obviously tons of bug fixes, including ragdolls, etc.

- Probably some slight changes to the menu, especially on editing, to make getting models and skyboxes easier and more visual, less about commands.

- No new hudguns, maybe just improved versions of these, or something

- Maybe some of the stuff by Q009 and K1 and stuff will be implemented, like IMPROVED sound effects and more eye candy, better blood and asplosionn effects.

- No vehicles, no jetpacks or anything like that.


So that's all I have for now, and if that was it, thought it's not a lot, it might still be awesome.

I believe that assuming its something like what I said, it should be out about a little before July next year, 2010. It could be earlier, but mainly cos of the SP episode.
