#2565: Re: can\'t see fps + hud (health etc.) in high resolutions

by D.plomat on 04/12/2004 00:37

probably you're using a virtual resolution, or specifying a resolution higher than your card can do in OpenGL?

I had this on a GeForce that can do 1600x1200 desktop but not in OpenGL

I always assumed that linux users would be savvy and understand how to use the shell/chmod etc., but maybe nowadays this doesn't hold anymore.

Anyone any idea how to make cube easier for linux newbies? is there an easy way to to create an archive on windows that sets the right chmod flags etc?

The problem with creating a script that chmods everything is that you have to chmod that first. :) I think a LINUX_README listing the commands you need to run is all that's called for.

Indeed, it doesn't. Men are no longer men and often don't even know how to recompile their kernel =)

Make an RPM package. Probably Debian as well, unless it's already there. Gentoo has the latest version in the portage already, so for us it's already as simple as typing a single command.

On Windows I think you can only get it with SFU.

#2572: Cube takes over "Cube"

by Aardappel on 04/12/2004 06:03

Without all that much of an attempt at promotion, Cube has now officially beaten all contenders:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=cube

That's what you get if you search for "cube": Rubic's Cube, GameCube, Ice Cube, Mathematics, Cube the movie, Apple's Cube, Cube bikes,... they all are less significant than Cube the game/engine ;)

I have always thought that using such a generic word for the name was a stupid idea, but looking at the google results made me laugh hard... I am positively surprised :)

SFU is rather big an clumsy... I'll have a look whether it works with msys too.

I don't intend to provide multiple packages. Life is hard enough without all that nonsense... I am sticking with a single .zip for sure.

thanks a lot for your answer!
Does anyone know what resolution a GeForce 4 4200 supports in OpenGL ?
and one question: why did it then run without problems on this resolution on windows (same pc of course)?

#2576: Re: Cube takes over "Cube"

by D.plomat on 04/12/2004 14:45, refers to #2572

Cool :)

When i first googled for "Cube" it ranked 5th... this was ~1-2years ago

So every Cube enthusiast that makes a web page should continue having a link to Cube ;)

I don't think msys handles permissions. Where would it store them on a Windows partition, anyway?

SFU is big, right. How about Bochs? It comes with that small Linux, but it has tar ang gzip - just enough to make it right =)

As for packages, they are usually done by other people. So if we have anyone here who uses RedHat or Mandrake, they could do an RPM version, Debian hackers can make an apt package etc.

I can do it using vmware or whatever... just like to avoid having to mess with a linux install at all.

Cube has dropped to #2 on google, I knew I should have made a screenie. My friend from germany says its #8 there, I guess they change the rankings a lot based on a bunch of factors.

Then I'd say try Bochs. It comes with a 10Mb image file with DLXLinux installed, all you have to do is click on run.bat =) It's quite old, but you don't need much to set permissions and pack it into a .tar.gz file, right?

The only problem there is sharing files between host and guest OS. Since Bochs can only mount disk images, a tool to edit them is needed, and the only one I know about is WinImage; but it's not free.

#4 for france :(

...don't understand how the ranking can change so much in one day... different PC, different ISP, OS version and browser version(but same language and parameters) could explain that?

#2584: Cube/enet and advanced IPV4 networking stuff

by D.plomat on 04/13/2004 16:39

Hello everybody.

Just FYI, it's possible to play Cube with a decent ping (200) behind a Linux gateway with DSL 512kbps DL/64kbps UP, while overnet uploads @4kBps, another PC is downloading W2KSP4 from MS and someone is websurfing on another! :)

For those who don't have time/courage to read the full Linux Advanced Routing HOWTO, it's all in chapter 15.8 (didn't tested the script provided here, my kernel is too old :(, but i've made a simpler one which only avoids using the modem upload buffer and puts TOS 0x10 in PRIO 0 and restricts other traffics to 80% of max upload bandwidth, of course less efficient than this cool HTB script, i'll have to recompile ;)

You just have(provided you already have QoS and traffic shaping enabled with a modem upload-buffer avoidance(ie HTB or TBF)) to add something like this at the end of the script or in your firewall rules like i do:

iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -p udp -dport 28765 -j TOS --set-tos 0x10

// same for 28766

to have Cube traffic recognized by the shaper as Minimal-Delay TOS

...and this *really* works, this HOWTO was worth reading :) :) :)
