Yea just give your ip, he/she should than type /connect <youriphere>

Password: For example, if your pass is "blah", than start your server like this:
cube.exe -d -pblah

Your friend should type /password blah before connecting to your game.

Edit the server.bat, leda.

@Circuit: to play Cube in windowed mode, open the cube.bat and add -t
Like this:
bin\cube.exe -w1024 -h768 -t %1 %2 %3 %4 %5

Been a while since I used windows...but I think if you make a shortcut to cube.exe, you can when you right click on it add additional parameters when you start the game...
You could also copy cube.bat and than edit the new file with a text editor such as notepad. If you do this change the line
bin\cube.exe -w1024 -h768 %*
with something like
bin\cube.exe -d -pblah %*

Oh thanks makke...never noticed there was a server.bat file aswell :-)

Just edit that file(add the -pblah) and run that file.

ok but when i tried to, the masterserver is answering :
server not registered : old protocol. please update your server...

but i think i've downloaded the last version of cube...

leda: Just ignore that...the masterserver itself needs an update.
Give your friend(s) your IP and they should be able to join.

As for keyboard turning...I guess Aard never really thought about it since mouse aiming is far more popular/effective. It wouldn't hurt if it exist for sauer though.

#4853: Quadropolis hacked?

by NightWind (a.k.a. mistermath) on 09/03/2005 19:11

Hi, I just went to Quadropolis not two minutes before posting this and all it showed was:
"SPYKIDS INSIDE Contact: spykids.br@gmail.com"

Has our beloved map archiving site been hacked?

i found a cube bug:

Monsters can shoot through mapmodels, but players can't. (not that this will be fixed soon)

I found the same thing, and I came here for answers. I know a couple hackers, maybe they've heard of their handle...

FSCK! not Quadropolis! noooo!
and this is just a few days after my host's site got hacked too...

D*mn *t!


on a more cheerful subject, perhaps it would make sense for mapmodels (in sauer) to use the fourth variable as a yes/no for cfg files. if it's a 1 (yes) than Sauer would read the cfg, which could then lead to some extra values regarding whether the mapmodel can be shot through, if it has multiple skins, perhaps even if the mapmodel has multiple bounding boxes (though with sauer this makes little to no sense, because it's easier to add extra bounding boxes). or would it be too little gain over having the engine just check for cfgs without the variable to bother with?

Do you have a copy of the logs, or did they delete those too?

If you have a copy, could you email them to me?

I really hope they didn't delete all of the files on Quadropolis....

Hopefully there are any backups, I wouldn't trust the compromised stuff.

Afaik, pxtl is away, and nieb ainīt too active atm.. so it could take a while till itīs up again :(

Tentus: I am personally hoping for md3 as the format for mapmodels.. would allow just that: multiple skins.(each having itīs own cfg)
If you look at the trees, what comes to mind is, that if you had a 256 png for the transparent stuff, and a 512 for the skin, quality would be increasable, while file sizes were smaller. Would be the same with other shaders on objects.
