There is a 3-on-3 Team Elimination Cup being held as the first official ActionCube Release Cup, register your team on the cup website http://assault.cubers.net/cup/

Aard offered us to use this forum for the assaultcube stuff, this makes sense as both the cube and ac communities are small. I hope it turns out well.

Get the new release here http://assault.cubers.net/download.html

#18: AC maps

by MeatROme on 06/10/2007 00:23

I'd love to see AC include some more maps;
but sadly, all posts to quadropolis (at least those I've actually looked at) for AssaultCube, haven't really impressed me.

Well, to you AssaultCube mappers /out there/ :
- Only two CTF maps is really too few,
so maybe someone can find a kewl Assault-Type layout in their cubistic dreams?!?

- other game-type specific maps might make sense - on quadropolis for sure, maybe even in a release, if the map itself convinces the dev-team ... like all you sniper-fanatics out there,
make a map with TONS of sniper positions ... that could really rock any (T)OSOK match!

- arena-style maps : these are by far the easiest to create ... but if you go for such a "plain" concept, you definitely need to put a lot of work into making the most of cube editing and "smoothen" (I remember "k" for corners) your structures - e.g. one of the latest submissions for AC on quad has some "inside" areas - as often happens with beginning mappers ... they've turned out WAY TOO SMALL, you get stuck at every corner and edge ... this sucks - bad time - w/o clip and/or no-clip like sauerbraten you really need to use the grid to your advantage - remembering to leave enough room for 2 (or 3 or 4) players at key locations (e.g. doorways or arches or such) is CRUCIAL.

#19: Cube 1

by ConorKirkpatrickistheowangeroflmaop on 06/10/2007 02:00

Could Cube 1 maps be brought into AC? The same engine...

We could get permission from the author of a cube 1 map. (Some of those Cube maps seem like they could be in AC)

if you get permission, yes this is do-able.
The map-format is virtually identical,
loading w/o problems.
Making them AC-ready though, will require some work; regarding waypoints for example AFAIK.
I've not mapped for AssaultCube ever and it's been ages since I've done any Cube mapping.

#21: Cube import

by ConorKirkpatrickistheowangeroflmaop on 06/10/2007 05:49

The only thing I think you would have to do is delete the entities like jumppads that aren't in AC


Sauer crashes when importing an AC map into it for some reason...

I will give the cube import a try in AC, and another try with AC->Sauer

#22: import ac to sauer

by ConorKirkpatrickistheowangeroflmaop on 06/10/2007 05:52

SauerBraten says that the Map header is malformed when trying to import an ActionCube map, which leads me to believe Cube->AC and AC->Cube will fail too.

#23: Re: import ac to sauer

by tentus_ on 06/10/2007 07:12, refers to #22

No no, Cube->AC because AC comes from cube. Cube->Sauer because Sauer is, well, Cube 2. Cube2 -/-> AC, because Sauer -/-> Cube.

#27: Problem

by JoeAlcorn on 06/13/2007 23:27

I can't connect to any servers.

I click on multi player, update serves and it says it is doing something to do with masterserver.cubers.net, then when it loads it says master server not replying.

deactivate/adapt your windows firewall to allow for traffic. If your running something like ZoneAlarm you need to enable AC to "run as server" (or whatever the option was).

#29: setting up a server

by capncrunch on 06/24/2007 23:15

hey, im on a mac with mac os x. when i try to set up a server it says "didnt respond to ping, check firewall" or sumthing along those lines. even if i turn my firewall completely off, it still says to check my firewall. any suggestions?

o ya, and btw, i forgot to add to the previous post that im not on sauerbaten or wutever, just assaultcube (cube 1?)

#31: Re: setting up a server

by absinth on 06/25/2007 02:33, refers to #29

that message is quite misleading since most certainly you are just behind a router (isn't everyone these days? more likely than a firewall) and must set up appropriate port forwarding

reply to this message

#32: Re: setting up a server

by MeatROme on 06/25/2007 06:44, refers to #31

Although it pertains foremost to Sauerbraten, it's nearly accurate in regard to AssaultCube (just the ports are different) : http://cube.wikispaces.com/Multiplayer+Guide#hosting

To cut it short:
if you've been handed a cheap router by your ISP, you might not be able to forward ports as required - then you can't host a server, sorry.

What absinth said is completetly correct; just adding my 2¢ worth ;)

#33: Bug

by Balot on 07/01/2007 13:16

I didn't found where to post bugs for ac so if there is a threadcould you say please where it is?

Ok now the Bug:It happened when i zoomed with sniper and changed to knife.I had the zoom with the knife.I tried it again just press fast these buttons in a row:Zoom>shoot>knife(i pressed 4)
then you should have zoom with the knife but you can even change weapon if its not snipe.you can change to another weapons like Shotgun then suicide and you have secured the zoom.

#36: Computer Shutdown

by Junkbone on 08/08/2007 21:29

I've got a bit of an issue with AC too -
my computer has turned off without warning 4 times while playing. I have seen this problem zero times when AC is not running.
Any ideas on what could be causing it?
