#110: linux cube binary

by inertia_ on 02/23/2002 04:28

The linux client binary of cube, when run, is very vague about what error causes it to not start -- I believe, that in my case, I lack some of the sdl libraries, but the cube executable does not reveal this. It would be good if the error messages were more precise, especially during startup.

#111: fov

by inertia_ on 02/23/2002 05:56

I don't know about the rest of you, but i think fov 120 is a little bit low... I prefer something more like fov 145. What do the rest of you think? (And yes Aard, I know you favor fov 120 =])

The error messages regarding libraries are completely out of Cube's control. If you were missing a library, the linker will state it as such. If a symbol is missing, then you need a newer version of the library. Regardless, it's the linker that tells you when there is a problem, not Cube (as it can't). :)

Fair enough, that pretty much sums up what I expected as the reasons for not releasing the source. I completely understand/sympathize with Aard's feelings on the project. And Eihrul, I'm glad that you did indeed release your part of the source for the engine, that's good IMHO.

I have no idea! It works for me - can you reproduce it again?

I think it was a fluke in my browser or something, that was the first and only time I had experienced that rather wierd bug. I'm using Opera 6.01, it's possible that Opera was just being flaky and odd, because your PHP skillz seem to work fine otherwise.

Those are characters! Damn. I was looking through the old tricks people pulled with Doom to emulate a 3d environment and was hoping you did something similar. :)

#123: new cube beta

by Aardappel on 03/25/2002 02:08

http://wouter.fov120.com/cube_25_03_2002_beta.zip

This is a beta so expect things not to work (I rewrote a fair few parts). New features include water, sp etc (read history.html for the full story).

Please give it a testdrive, and let me know of any bugs with new features.

before you complain: classic sp is very minimal, and there is no trigger/door features yet.

#125: your first bug

by pushplay on 03/25/2002 08:14

Game crashes when a monster spawns in the water.

And one minor complaint, outside the water you can see down the usual distance, but as soon as you jump in the water gets all murky. It just strikes me as odd.

#126: pushplay

by Aardappel on 03/25/2002 13:17

I'll look at that crash... though I had monsters spawn in the water just fine here?

The added "murkyness" is intentional (its closer distance fog), try to look around in most real water volumes and you'll notice the same thing, most reduce view distance tremendously.

I had the water level way up there just to see what would happen. I think it was around 80. I did it with a very stupid map which has floor at the lowest possible level and height at the max possible height. That may be why.

#128: New Beta

by Bascule on 03/26/2002 13:33, refers to #123

Fantastic! - love the water effect and the trees :)

No bugs as yet, but I have only had a chance to have a little play around with it.

Keep up the good work, Aard.

me goes off to finish my very first DM Cube map (5 or 6 weeks and counting), so that I can have a go at an SP map - probably have it ready for Christmas :(
