#1027: Germans...

by [RI]insight on 12/18/2002 14:45

Why does all german ppl assume that the rest of the world speaks flawless german?

Like, 90% of the clan sites are in german.. how come? Don\'t they teach English in germany? A site in another language than English reaches a remarkably smaller amount of people than an English page would. So pleeeeeease all clans, mappers, tool makers and everything, start doing your pages in English! I rather take a page in English with loads of grammatical and/or spelling errors than a page filled with a language that I haven\'t studied in ages.

Start using the \"official internet language\", English!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

You are most inappropriately named insight, lack of sight would be more appropriate. The reason so many clan sites etc are in german is a lot of clans are german. The reason you see so many english websites is thats what your intrested in (do you ever search for spiele or whatever, no you search for games)

Your post is completly racist, extreem and really fairly unpleasent, please take it back

Oh and in case your wondering im english, so dont give me any, well you german so you dont know crap!!!

Dont they teach german where-ever you live???

sorry everone else i didnt mean to get so angry, but people like insight drive me mad!

#1029: Network???

by BLUESCREEN on 12/18/2002 18:53

How can I play over LAN?
I've started the Cube-Server and then the game itself. In the menu there was the option "localhost" which connected me to the server running on my PC.

But how can other peoples in the LAN join the game?
Is it possible to tell the game an IP which it should connect to???

I agree that it was a stupid thing for Insight to say, but racist is a poor choice of words for it.

Also, can we get a word-wrap: break-word in the style sheet here?

For a lan game you should use the IP addresses used within the network to find the server.

Say you run the server, then go into the start menu, click run, and type winipcfg. Then click on "more info" in the bottom right. Select your ethernet card from the drop-down menu and your IP address will be listed under "IP Address." If you want people to connect to your machine on the LAN they type in game: "/connect 192.168.0.4" or whatever your IP address was.

I think some windows versions might use names for the program different than winipcfg.

#1032: Why was that stupid?

by [RI]insight on 12/18/2002 20:30

All I said was that I wanted to see more
english sites about cube. Since clans
are an international thing, I think it's
natural to use a language that most of us understand.

And yes, they do teach german here.
So ich kann ein bischen deutsch verstanden.
But I still think it'd be for the best if
the pages were in English instead.

I really can't see the stupid in that..
Let's say one wants to read up on a clan
before a clanwar, does he have to learn
german for that+ That's bad imho.

Everyone is totally entitled to his/her opinion, but I can live without posts like Piglets.

It's stupid because you worded it as a demand rather than a request, and you don't have the right to demand any such thing.

thx - the "/connect"-command was what I was looking for!
In every case I use Linux and I hope many other peoples here too!

im not normally an offensive or agressive person, or one who posts offensive replies with out GOOD reason. Maybe you simply badly phrased your views, but i still find your previous post quite offensive (even though im not german), the way its phrased makes you seem totaly against the use of any other languages but english online, which is horribly unfair

Hey, Insight, I think you can be an okay person, and I think anyone outright attacking him for moreso an oppinion should really back off. Now, I know, most people have an opinion, and opinions are like @$$holes, everyones got them and most stink, badly. Im not supporting racism, but as someone who might not be as open-ended as others, english may seem to be the dominant language on the internet. On the other hand, though, why would an english gamer search up a german site? Sure, I study spanish (I read better than I write, so I wont just put something down.) so I will often find myself looking through a spanish site and still finding what I need. I just think that this was all a big misunderstanding, I can find truth in bolth of your positions, but I think that its kind of a null point. The german clans should have german websites: Theyre german, thats there language. If you want an english clan, make one or find one... I dont think it would be that hard.

Insight, to put in kinder words, what they said, "Please be more kind to your internet peers, the internet is an international place, with international people. You cant expect everyone to fall under one catagory."

Have a good night :)

#1043: your game sucks

by non-gamer on 12/21/2002 18:06

it can't be played with a pc that can do most other things such as runnin excel & word & so...

are you developing your stupid game with 3GHz, 2GB, 1GB 3d?
with all settings minimal, it can't be played with 300MHz pc, it get only 9fps (max) and moving is slower than doom ever was.

i really don't respect those lamers who can't program games that could run fine on a pentium.

you are just similar to microsoft, id software and all other who do new games only for 100GHz pc's.

i really was hoping i could play this game with my 300MHz pc, but no.

You're a twit, and your computer is lacking in other ways. When I still had a p3 450, the game ran great with average settings. Anything less than a p3 450 is pretty old (4+ years); heck, even a 1 GHz processor isn't all that expensive. Ultimately, Cube is a zero-profit game, and Aard can do whatever Aard wants to do, and even with that in mind, Cube can still run pretty well on some old machines. I'm thrilled with what Aard has done. Even then, the "bloated" games of id Software do what they are intended: showcase the leading engine that will power several of the newer games over the next few years by using it to power a kickass game of their own. Without id Software, you wouldn't even have a p300, because p2's would still be top of the line, and they'd be more expensive than the newest processors are now.
