That would seem to indicate that it's taking spaces to deliminate different programs to run. Try the following:
% open "apps/cube -w320 -h240"

I tried, but unfortunately it's reading it as if it were one entire application (cube -w320 -h240) on its own. Thanks though, but unless someone here knows the OS X Terminal really well, I'll be looking elsewhere to try and solve this.

Ask Arndt, if I remember correctly he had to hard code it in the game from 800x600 to 1024x768 fullscreen, so you may be SOL.

He hangs out in #cube Gamesnet if you want to catch him there...

Hi everyone, (sorry if i post in the bad place)

i would like to know what are the skills of the programmers of this really impressive project and what kind of book you can suggest for me because i would like to programming some games but i don't know where to begin.

Hope you will help me, i know that there is a lot of people who whant to make a game, believe that he can make the new quake 5 but my objective is to improve my skill and to know how to use opengl, sdl, etc...

Thanck by advance,

For saving games, rtfm.

Running a server on a lan is exactly the same as running a server on the internet, only the ip addresses are changed. Instead of having anyone on the internet connect to 62.145.82.91, people on the lan will connect to the server's ip, which will be something of the form 192.168.0.2. Finding out your ip address depends on the os, but I'm going to guess click on start, then run, type win winipcfg, click advanced, and look for something starting 192.168.

SDL has some quite good docs bundled. That + examples in the distro was enough for me to start using it.

OpenGL is somewhat trickier, but there's a LOT of free docs, how-tos, tutorials and examples on the Net. Just use Google to find them.

As for the generic algorithms, here's a nice (and free) book for you to start with:

#1593: Re: cube on LAN

by kamran on 06/06/2003 20:29, refers to #1591

thanks for replying, but let me rephrase my question. I have cube on my linux machine. I also have cube on another machien running windows. How (the steps please ) can we connect these two computers together for cube? Note that both machines are already on a LAN, conencted using samba. I can't find any option in any of the game instances I run to give an IP address of any of my machines. I don't see much helpful screen in the multiplayer menu.

Regards,
Kamran

Run a dedicated server (cube_server) on one of machines. Then, use the "connect" console command to connect one of clients to localhost, and another to whatever the IP of the server is.

by D.plomat on 06/08/2003 15:38, refers to #1593

On the machine that's gonna be the server, open a console window. type
ifconfig eth0
you may need to be root
write the ip-address somewhere.
type:
cd <path where you installed cube>
bin_unix/cube_server
don't close the terminal window.
on the machines you want to play cube (including the server), open cube.
press 'T'.
type:
connect <the ip address of the server>

If the server has a fixed ip-address (not DHCP or it is the DHCP client), you can edit the file 'servers.cfg' on each of the client machines and add at the beginning a line:
addserver <the ip-address>

then you can select it in the menu: multiplayer/server browser.

ASE approached me, yes, but I am not interested in supporting multiple browsers. The one in game (and on the web) cover enough for me.

to stop a lan server from getting client connects from the internet, you can stop it reporting to the masterserver by starting the server with -millegalip

if you want to learn how to program games you need just one thing: know how to program well. Learning APIs (OpenGL), or languages (C++) requires minimal time compared to actual programming skill. So just start programming and don't worry about games just yet... when you are ready it will be easy :)

yes, that is me, about 5 years ago (I am mildly fatter now ;).

the oldest public release is from xmas 2001, but there are beta releases going back much further... I can see if I can dig some of them up, so you can all see the difference... the old releases are very cute :)
