#3566: newbie

by handler on 11/07/2004 02:13

Greetings!

Ok, here come all the stupid newbie questions! I\'m breaking out of my 2D gaming world and into this. Now, granted I found out how to move around but how do you pickup items. I really don\'t see any doc on this game although it seems really neat. Can you help a fella out or at least point me in the right direction!

Much appreciated!

wow. that is quite the noobish question :) your gonna kick yourself when you find out that all you have to do is run through them. in case you havent figured it out, you click to shoot, and right-click to jump. when playing you should never stop moving, because you will probably get hit if you do. When playing SP the best way to kill large groups of monsters is to run around them in a circle while shooting at them. This will probably be a little tricky the first time you try it.

#3570: Cube server - server waiting for response

by Doktor Prokt on 11/07/2004 10:13

Hello,

I'm running a cube server on my router. It is a Slackware 9.1 box. I can establish a connection over my LAN (i.e. when I connect to 192.168.0.1 (my router's address). But when I try to connect through the server browser, it just keeps saying [waiting for server response].

My ISP is t-online (german adsl).

Doctor Prokt: Have you tried "Update from masterserver" before using the server browser ? (console command is /updatefrommaster)

Big Dazz: Cube has problems with certain newer versions of drivers, maybe try out older ones?

Polar Bear: How old are your drivers? Maybe try some different version older OR newer, depends (as seen above)

Handler: the readme.html in your cube directory schould give you some hints, also play the "cube101" singleplayer map which is sort of a tutorial map..

You could also check the config file of egysp1 to see how I did it with custom messages. This is an incomplete version of the level that was not supposed to be in Cube 2004, but the secrets counter is working.

hmmm. right click cube.bat. click edit. change 1024 to 640 and 768 to 480 and then save it.

then run cube.bat.
This should solve your problem. if you are not running a geforce or radeon card ctrl + alt + delete before you run it and get rid of anything that doesn't look important: antivirus, firewall etc.

Hello, you could try setting your desktop color depth to 16 bit if it's currently set at 32 bit. Also check your video card properties and turn off any "forced" filtering (anti-alias, ansiotropic). I have found that making these changes greatly increase frame rates.

You need to open the UDP ports 28765 and 28766 on it so that both players from internet and the masterserver can connect. They're probably closed by default for the external interface.

# iptables -I INPUT -p udp -i ppp0 --dport 28765 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -I INPUT -p udp -i ppp0 --dport 28766 -j ACCEPT

and then some utilities to save the rules (i don't know Slackware, generally it's /etc/init.d/iptables save)

Yes, all that FSAA and Anisotrophic Filtering, is really totally unneccesary... My FPS drop from 100 to 25 when I max all that eyecandy...

Maybe try to rollback drivers even more? Afaik Cube has problems with the latest two detonators , at least on my machine...

Okay, so I have a small problem.

I wan't a command to activate when I press my right mousebutton.

That's not very hard, but here comes the tough part.

I want another command to be executed when I release the button, How can I do that?
