#1604: SleepwalkR

by pushplay on 06/14/2003 08:49

Is there any chance on getting the necessary binaries to run a master server? I just want to keep the DI servers seperate from the Cube servers.

nope. If you want to do your own multiplayer and your own masterserver, there is no other way

I don't see a problem, really. The games are incompatible anyhow, so why even bother using the same protocol? Writing the masterserver for the open-sourced version of Cube shouldn't be hard, the code for the networking part is very clear. I wrote a simple PHP script which queries the client and displays all info in ~30 minutes...

#1610: BUG: Linux/Voodoo 3 2000, Cube 2002_10_20

by Jorge on 06/15/2003 13:43

That's my hardware/software:

* Pentium III, 666 MHz, 256 MB ram
* Voodoo 3 2000 PCI, 16 MB
* Kernel 2.4.18 and XFree86 4.2.0 with DRI/GLX, they are configurated properly (Quake3 runs nicely)

This is the bug:

I don't see the water texture. Fonts and icons aren't showing too. The screenshot: http://lilo.uah.es/images/cubebug.png

Thanks in advance :)

Fonts fixed, water don't.

The maximum texture size for Voodoo 3 is 256x256. 'newchars.png' is 512x512: i've resized the image. The fonts are showing now.

The water texture is hardcoded and i don't know how resize it.

Please, can you write a patch?

Spend the extra fifteen bucks and get a geforce2(mx). Your entire life will get better if you do.

Oh... I can't live without "hibernate", and the Linux nvidia driver doesn't support that feature.

Seriously, a Geforce2 is too expensive for me (130 €! I could pay for English lessons with this money).

OTOH your donation will be appreciated X)

More ideas?

Ebay is a shop far, far away. Too expensive shipping costs.

I come from Afri^H^H Spain, live in a near-to-where small village, and i hasn't got a car.

My motherboard doesn't have an AGP port and the local seller sells 3D Blaster PCI (geforce2 mx 400) for 124,99 € only.

It's a sad story, isn't it? :)

Thanks for your interest but i will write the patch, if nobody writes it first, because:

* Cost for patch: 0 € (I must only study OpenGL %}).
* Cost for Geforce2: X €

Note: X > 0.

My 4 years old Voodoo works fine except for Cube. I have the manual with technical specs. Why change?

this is not a problem with the v3, but with the linux drivers. On windows the textures are correctly scaled down.

Maybe for next release I will integrate a workaround.

Finally, Cube works fine with Voodoo3 on Linux, although the driver is broken. I resize the images, mantaining aspect ratio:

packages/golgotha/water2.jpg
packages/payne/Brick58_512x512.jpg
packages/models/monster/bauul/skin.jpg
packages/models/monster/rhino/skin.jpg

The maximun size of textures is 256x256.

You're really getting screwed over there for video card prices. There's a Spanish eBay you might want to check out.

The shipping costs are only for "Peninsule and Baleares Isles", i live en Canary Isles: in the middle of Atlantic ocean, 4" from tropic of Cancer, in front of the Moroco's sahara coast, 1400 KM from south of Spanish peninsule.

This cards (i've read the link) are in Valencia (1800 KM) and Barcelona (2300 KM).

By the way, there are Geforce2 cards for 45/50€ here... But no PCI, and i haven't AGP port.

Well, the next time i travel to peninsule, i can buy a Geforce2.

is it a thymus?, it's probably.
