That's pretty impressive, it shoudn't happen. Try right clicking on it and seeing if there's an open command and see what it does.

If that's no good you could either learn to use the command prompt and run the bat from there. Otherwise you need to use regedit and should do a search on the internet for how it's supposed to be set up. If you're not comfortable with regedit you should probably not touch it because you could use it to put windows in a non-booting state.

Snork. That is funny.

Open Office is set as the default program to handle .bat files - probably because someone once used it to edit a .bat and told Windows to remember that association.

You can change that in the explorer - but don't me how. As a Linux user, I don't have a copy of Windows handy to check - I just know you can do it that way because I used to have to use Windows.

In windows explorer, Tools-Folder Options-File Types tab. Probably don't need any association of bat's with anything (I don't), just remove the association with Open Office. Could have been an anti-virus move, stops execution.

Wow, OpenOffice as default editor for BAT's, never seen this before ;)

Also, you can download a powertoy on microsoft site that's called "command prompt here", "shell from here" or something similar, so you can just right-click on your Cube directory and then type cube.bat

You... use... linux...

You don't run bat files in linux, you run the scipt cleverly labeled cube_unix. Also do what it says in bin_unix/readme.txt.

Ya know, I would have figured that anybody who can figure out how to register with this forum and post to it would be capable of reading the docs that come with the game - and be able to devine that a Windows user would execute the cube.bat file, and that Linux/unix users would use the cube_unix script.

I could be wrong, though.

Yes, I'm a caustic little bastard at times. Attribute that to me, and not the general tone of these forums though.

Not everyone is good on computers, and they might just want to play cube so thats why we are here mortfurd. Dont get mad at people because you are better on computers, be helpful and tell them what they need to know so they can figure out hw to slowly become better on the pc or atleast play cube.

#2060: A beta...

by Aardappel|home|holland on 12/02/2003 23:10

Hi all,

I have a cube beta that I would like tested by a select few people. To qualify, you need to be on win32, hang out in #cube, and it would help if I know who you are. If the beta is ok, a real release should follow shortly after.

If you want to help, speak to me on #cube and I will give you the link. Be sure to read and follow the beta readme included in the archive.

Thanks :)

Oh and, if you run a voodoo3 under linux, or you have one of those drivers that makes rockest blow up in your face (esp if its win32, recent driver, recent card, and you can be on #cube), let me know especially.
