#1030: Re: Germans...

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?

#1031: Re: Network???

by pushplay on 12/18/2002 20:28, refers to #1029

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.

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.

#1048: Quick dumb question

by CheapAlert on 12/22/2002 02:30

Why does every weapon blow up in my face?

throw punch, nothing happens.

Fire shotgun, spark shower in my face.

Fire chaingun, spark shower in my face.

Fire rifle, spark shower in my face.

Fire rocket, instant 'splosion, unless you strafe back when firing, and there is a still rocket that blows up around you.

Cube runs fine on k62-266

You had the same problem I had, its because your card is out dated, you would have to get a newer card I'm affraid to fix this problem, get one with nvida 2 and up, this could be sometimes a pain because the newer cards on the market will only work with mx 4 mainboard, then you would have to update your mainboard, cpu, switch to RIMM memory, arrrrrrrrg !!! But might as well, with the newer games that keep comming out.
