it's an outdated way of saving performance. Aard has phased it out, so you can just ignore any mention of LOD.

LOD (Load on Demand) was a way of rendering the terrain in rougher chunks depending on how far they are from you. This could save a great deal of performance, but it always looks bad, and sometimes it causes more work for the video card and processor rather than helping them.

At least, I think that's how it went. It's early morning here and I haven't had my coffee yet.

#5229: strange effect.

by John Marwin on 01/31/2006 15:52

Hey, just downloaded and installed the
game, and I've encountered a very strange problem.

If you've ever used the command "noclip" in halflife, you'd come a cross the endless "mirror" effect you sometimes get.

Well, this issue is similar to that in that it doesn't render a room completely yet it correctly renders the entities it would seem, so the result becomes something like a collection of entities stuck in an endless mirror loop.

My equipment used to run this is a
450mhz computer with a TNT card stuck inside it, it has 128 megs of RAM and a
nice little harddrive of 8 gigs :P

If my hardware seems outdated, yes I agree with you! but I really couldn't find any "minimum system requirements"
posted anywhere on this site.

Anyways, it's a pretty fucking cool project!

In this case LOD rather means "level of detail" I believe :)

That system should be fine for Cube but for Sauer only tiny maps. Drivers? http://www.nvidia.com/object/riva_drivers.html

#5235: I'm new to cube, but I want to get all I can out of it.

by apple on 02/01/2006 18:56

I dowloaded the Agust version of Cube, should I dowload all the others or is each pakage the new stuff plus the old stuff?
How do I add maps I dowload from places like quadropolis to cube or at least how do I open them?
How do I add mods that need to be unziped in the cube root, and how do I acess the cube root?
I dowloaded January's sauerbraten, but I found no sp maps, did I dowload wrong or was there none, or do I need to dowload the older packages?
What's up with the rpt (or something like that) maps? There really large, really cool and real messes up. When you open them your an orge and the movement is in no way smooth even in editors mode. What's wrong?

I would be really gratful if someone would answer these questions.

1. Nope, every package is complete.

2. Look into the zip files. If they contain only a *.cgz and a *.cfg, extract them to /cube/packages/base.

When they contain a folder called /packages, unzip it with folder names checked to /cube.

Keep in mind that custom map won´t show up in the menu. ou have to load them manually (press t in game, then type
/map mapname
while mapname is the name of the .cgz file.

Some maps come with a readme that have special install/run instructions.

3. "Root" directory is the main "cube" directory, the folder wich holds the .bat file. Just extract to there (with folders).

4. No sp maps in this release.
"DMSP" is a mode where you can battle
monsters on the multiplayer maps.

5. The rpg maps are large, yes, therefore your framerate might slow down. Future developement on the engine will make them run smoother.

#5241: Windoze 98 Memory error

by DarkclawtWolf on 02/02/2006 21:25

ok Silly question, I have dual install, but Win98 is refusing to even start Cube reporting 'There is not enough memory to run dis program ayyye' (roughly)

Machine is a AMD 2800XP
1GB DDR
GeForce 5900XT
DX 9c
88.8 drivers

Would use WIn2k install - but thats defeatism ;)

#5242: Linux & ATI woes

by enigma_0Z on 02/04/2006 01:50

OK, I've een trying to figure this out, and I just can't seem to, so I'm asking here.

Cube and Sauer _were_ working before, so I think that I may have screwed something up (unless the new versions arejust wonky with ATI).

But anyway, whenever I run sauerbraten: everything is black, except for the gun model, shots, HUD, and menu. In other words, the map is just solid black.

When I start cube, same situation, except that everything is black and has a HOM effect too.

Has anyone had the same problem?
