#1145: #1142: Re: weapon switching

by spentron@PP on 01/10/2003 22:36

Presuming there's no way to return the current weapon, the only thing I can think of uses the mousewheel to increase the *likelihood* of predictable results. For example, if the mousewheel is in a position to try to select weapon 2, the next two preferences will be 0 or 4, not 1 or 3. So, when the wheel is then turned to 1 or 3 position from there, it will be less likelyhood of already being on 1 or 3 and switching to something else instead. However, you won't always know if you were at position 2 on the wheel just because weapon 2 is selected, because other positions can also result in weapon 2.

Another idea would be based on this and fist. Every other position would be fist, with the guns between those positions, and juggling of the backup values.

#1146: Re: mouse trouble

by netjiro on 01/11/2003 22:05, refers to #1127

I've found the problem, sort of...
Turning off Xinerama makes the problem go away.
I checked chromium mouse code, which works fine with xinerama and compared with cube mouse code...
Chromium reads the motion.x and motion.y (making rel internally with last pos) while cube reads motion.xrel and motion.yrel.
I'll check this with the SDL folks and see what's up

Thanks
Jimmy

#1148: A Q And A Comment

by pushplay on 01/12/2003 09:05

Has anyone built a Fisheye Cube windows binary that they'd be willing to share?

Also, that Starport map is impressive. I look forward to seeing what Mike Doktor comes up with next.

I'd also appreciate it if someone put up a windows fisheye binary to download... I tried compiling it myself, but my compiler is crap and won't run it.

and thanks so much for putting my maps on your site verbal, they really needed a new home; bravepages was definitely not working :)

Well, ever since I got this hofv domain many people have had problems, which I don't know why. http://www.cubestuff.cjb.net/ should work though, did you try that?


http://cubestuff.hofv.net/ can't have a www. in the title or it won't work, like wouter.fov120.com

#1155: Cubestuff

by Mike Doktor on 01/13/2003 08:47

I would also like to thank VerbalC for hosting maps for us "cube newbs".

And thanks Pushplay for the generous review. Unfortunatley I'm back in school now so I don't expect my next map will be completed anytime soon,
homework before mapping :-/

By the way, I just tried both of the cubestuff sites (.cjb & .hofv) and they worked flawlessly in IE5 & NS7.

#1156: CubeStuff

by Thalion on 01/13/2003 09:42

Okay, so Mozilla 1.1 was able to show it.

But still, many people out there only have IE6. Consider everyone who owns WinXP, like me - we cannot downgrade to IE5. And I clearly prefer Opera to Mozilla for everyday surfing...

The hofv.net domain isn't the problem then. I figured it was because the day I got that domain was the day everyone said it didn't work.

It works perfect for me on IE6, not sure why it doesn't for others. I use default settings that come with XP. I have also tried it at the computers at school which use Win2000 IE6 and it works fine.

I'l email tech support and see what I get.

#1162: GGZ Gaming Zone

by werfu on 01/16/2003 08:56

Have you heard about the Gnu Gaming Zone? This is a project on source forge proposing to create something like MSN gaming zone.

To be used, it need game with support for it (this is a piece of code to add). It could be great for Cube.

I prefer the "internet gaming zone". It is really cool, and needs no special software except this weird thing called "TCP/IP".
