#3961: ???

by Stefanz_nl on 02/03/2005 14:14

I just put an backup on my C-Drive, and Cube-Engine is on my D-Drive. When I wanted to play Cube Engine again, it wouldn\'t start, and just crashes. CTRL+ALT+DELETE says there are 2 programs opened, called: \"SDL_app\" and \"nVidia OpenGL Driver\". What do I do to play Cube again?

I\'m running Kernel 2.6.8.1 and XFree86 Version 4.2.99.2 (DRI trunk) / X Window System with Module i810 info in XFree86.0.log saying

(II) Module i810: vendor=\"The XFree86 Project\"
compiled for 4.2.99.2, module version = 1.1.0
Module class: XFree86 Video Driver
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6


I also tried running Cube on Knoppix Linux from November 2004 and I still had the same problems with the i810 drivers on Knoppix in November 2004 (weird-looking colors and inability to fire). So I figured it was a Cube incompatibility with the i810 limitations and the patch I provided in my last message fixes the problems for me, but prevents me from connecting to multiplayer servers with a self-compiled client. So I hope these changes can make it into the main source... they seem harmless and small enough.

I\'m surprised you have no problems with the i810 and cube - what kernel and XFree/X.org version are you running?

by Rick-Ubuntu on 02/04/2005 10:34

Kernel 2.6.9
X.org not sure, something like 6.8
X.org has a new driver for this card and the kernel too; i915. i915 is used for i810 and other intel based cards.
I couldn't get DRI working with other kernels btw

#3965: Re: Cube w Twinview in Linux

by D.plomat on 02/04/2005 14:21, refers to #3957

Pushplay had the same problem, that i tried to reproduce.

I didn't manage to have the metamodes work so i couldn't reproduce it, but i tested the other way of having dualhead and it works by defining the two outputs of the card as two different devices. At least this can be used as a workaround.

Here is an extract of my XF86Config that works with dualhead desktop, and Cube starts only on the first monitor (LCD):

#3967: some questions

I have a site about cube http://www.freewebs.com/cubenw

and I was wondering whether I'd be allowed to upload stuff like a .zip file of the latest cube edition or even stuff like the manual.

#3969: Random is not random in Cube

by x on 02/04/2005 21:45

Cube latest version.

Random is not random in Cube

Sample, try this on your autoexec.cfg
>
> at "a b c d e" rnd(5)
> echo $s
>

You will see "a" every time you start
Cube.

If someone maintains a cube faq that should definitely be in there. Unfortunately I don't get root at work. :)

I agree, I can't play hardly any shooters without my mouse. Not that this precludes all first person shooters- Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are very effective, fun titles, but the targeting system is different, so such a translation wouldn't work.

The very idea of putting the open-source, Mod/levelmaking-friendly Cube onto any of the proprietary consoles makes me chuckle. It'd ruin the expirience for me :)

#3978: Can't start game in Fedora Core 3

by markdrew on 02/06/2005 00:24

I'm running FC3 with an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700LE video card. I have been able to install and run other OpenGL games.

I downloaded and unzipped the game, but when I tried to execute the cube_unix script, the screen appeared to be switching to fullscreen mode, but then returned to my desktop (could only see a portion of it, greatly enlarged) and my mouse was disabled.

So, I tried the -t option, and I got essentially the same results, except that my whole screen was still visible (mouse froze again). Since I could see the whole screen, I was able to see the output which was this:

[cube]$ ./cube_unix -t
init: sdl
init: net
init: world
game mode is ffa/default
init: video: sdl
init: video: mode
init: gl
init: basetex
init: sound
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x082a0570 ***
Aborted
[cube]$

Any help would be appreciated--thanks!

Mark

#3979: Re: Can't start game in Fedora Core 3

by D.plomat on 02/06/2005 01:53, refers to #3978

This has already been discussed but i had no feedback from first person reporting this (also using Fedora) so i don't know if the fix works.

http://www.cubeengine.com/forum.php4?action=display_search&keywords=double+free+corruption&submit=+GO+

You should try the command:

export MALLOC_CHECK=0

before starting Cube.

(if it does, you can add it into the cube_unix script to avoid typing it everytime you want to start Cube... and of course report here if it works or not so i can add it into the FAQ ;)

#3980: Bug in the Console

by RogueHaxor on 02/06/2005 08:24

I found a bit of a bug in the console. If you remap one of the keys.. such as SDLK_PAGEUP (In my case I added a history buffer that you could \\\\\\\"scroll\\\\\\\" up and down using pageup/pagedown) it unmaps some of the other keys. (Mainly the attack button, MOUSE1)

In regular cube_unix I\\\\\\\'ve had this happen once when I left the say buffer open, and I probobly hit one of the mapped keys..

Anyway, the quickest way I found to fix this is to have it execute the keymap.cfg file when it gets saycommand(NULL).
