#2508: ..

I'd say you could turn it into a DM map fairly easy. I would probably eliminate the caves inside the castle tho, and make it a defend the castle kind of layout.

#2510: *sigh*

by Pxtl on 03/25/2004 08:17

Okay, we need to sticky something about this.

Known bug in ATI cards - Cube uses an OpenGL trace function that ATI cards don't implement properly. The root of the problem has been traced to ATI's 24-bit z-buffer and the fact that they let mesa handle this unimportant funciton not realising that mesa's function didn't support their buffer.

So, ATI videocards don't have a working trace function. Either find some magical drivers or wait till the problem goes away.

Or maybe wait till Aard gets back from GDC and maybe - maybe! - adds a fix-hack I've proposed...

#2513: How 2 make a game

by necorium on 03/25/2004 21:39

Hi

Was wondering how easy(or hard) it would be to make a game using the cube engine.Nothing fancy just custom weapons, monsters and scenery.I don't have any previous programming experience but would really like to try make something special. Played death illustrated and that was cool.Downloading cube now and tomorrow i'll fiddle.Let me know if there are any sites i can visit that might help me(without scaring me).Would i need to create creatures in a 3d program like maya or is it easier than that>? Basically just let me know if i'm going to have to crack the enigma code or if i'll just need to play around to get the hang of it.Thanks for a cool free game engine and thanks to who ever helps me out.

models for cube are better made with a low-poly modeller, such as ... no, i won't say the name. someone once said i were spamming by mentioning this app more than 2 times...

#2515: Weird linux problem

by q3inu on 03/25/2004 22:06

I am using Linux and have installed Cube,libSDL,...
When i start /root/cube/cube_unix the x-server crashes. The output before crashing is:
init: basetex IMG_LOAD,...
Can anybody help me? Thx

What is the output _after_ it crashes? Is it a segfault, or what?

Make sure you have SDLImage installed, just in case.

Oh, and why do you run it as root? Might not be a good idea, especially with stuff that makes network connections.

#2518: Win32 or Linux, OpenGL driver

by D.plomat on 03/27/2004 12:28

Even ran it on a 150MHz PC with 2D-card(Neomagic) but it was too slow to be playable, unless in a 60*40 window :p...

I would say the reasonable minimum is a 200-300MHz with a decent 3D card (at least a Voodoo3 or TNT), and the *latest* driver for it

The one for buggy ATI drivers. Multiply the value returned by glReadPixels by 256 if an appropriate command-line option (e.g. -ati) is given.

#2525: ratting maps mpsp2 and king

by Sauce on 03/30/2004 01:48

for the sp map nice job. I noticed the use of af textures and you pulle dit off. Pretty easy sp map if i do say so myself. Which is ok on account of we want noobs to be able to play. Nice job on the transition inbetween the mecha theme to the egyptian desert. Now this king map? Most definently a noob map because it stunk. But thats ok we learn from our mistakes. it's, Simple there is no detail and the textures you have are so blanned and plain thats a yuck, thumbs down. Better luck next time:P



PS: keep the maps rollin

#2526: A few questions...

by Pxtl on 03/30/2004 02:27

about the netcode, I'm curious how the rockets are handled, since they're unique among the weapons. Is only the firing information sent? Or is the detonation location sent separately? That is, if I shoot and hit someone, does a third observer see the shoot and hit? Or does the rocket whizz by the target player, who spontaneously dies as if he were hit, while the firer sees himself righteously pegging the target.

Another question is about positional inerpolation - does the netcode estimate the player position at all? Or is it entirely verbatim "He is at position X, Y, draw him there".

One last thing: currently, the only actual animation is run. No jump, no death, weaponswitch, no anything. Aard mentioned adding the death anim. Will other anims be added too?
