How long has cube been around (cube 1, not 2.) If possible, could the source for very old versions be released?

you'll also need:
SDL_mixer.framework
SDL_image.framework

the cgz loading/saving wasn't implemented in this release yet, thats how early it was! I usually wait as long as possible with file formats, since it reduces the amount of file format changes, which can be painful.

The first lines of code of cube were created in november 2000 - ish.

I actually have the source for "sphere" too, but its too pathetic to release. This early cube release is actually interesting because it already has editing, lighting, and my horribly broken LOD system :)

No idea wether it works on a mac. There's no windows specific code in it afaik.

I don't remember the exact starting date of sauer... must have been the end of 2002.

do you have an old sauer release, I checked the oldest one on SF is from '04, I want to see how close it is to cube. ;) I know it says not to ask you for any help with compilation, and this is off topic, but do you have the Xcode project for Cube 8-29-2005?

I was seeing if aard might have had it. Did you give it to anyone else? The current cube Xcode I have produces this bug where textures get replaced by model skins.

Any screenshots of level editing in Sphere then? :)

What about Greed and the mobile games?

I have always wondered about this stuff and now there is a thread for it :)

The sphere world structure was triangular columns on a sphere (which can be raised or lowered either per face or per vert) allowing you to build walls, stairs, slopes etc, but no ceilings. The fun thing is of course that all levels are automatically connected on all sides, yet visibility is limited, which to me sounds ideal for an FPS. You can make larger levels simply by changing the planet size.

It be a fun idea to revisit, especially nowadays I'd be able to whip it up much quicker.

The mobile games are stuck inside the company I made it for and their publisher, so no idea wether they will see the light.

Greed will see the light one way or another. It has been redesigned like 5x now, every time I get going I discover something about the gameplay that will suck, and I restart. If anything, tought me not to ever focus on fancy graphics again before gameplay is fully tested.

So, a structure kinda like this (but more so?):

Huh, that would actually be really cool. Would you be able to set other planet properties other than size? (Already the Mario Galaxy ideas start cropping up...)

It'd be kinda fun to get ahold of a really simple build of sphere and start making the nutjob mods to it that really deeply affect gameplay, like stealing the jetpack gameplay mechanic from instanaction, forgoing lightmaps in favor of terrain-altering weapons, and create some entities that actually do stuff on their own (terrified sheep == health).

tentus, yup, thats the structure. And no, sphere is not in any releasable form, it be quicker to remake it.

#37: OCTA

by TetrisMaster512 on 07/24/2008 22:54

In some old sauer releases there is a file named OCTA-TODO.txt. This leads me to believe that sauer was originally named Octa?

#38: Re: OCTA

by tentus_ on 07/24/2008 23:42, refers to #37

No. Octa is short for Octants (and sometimes for Octree as well), which is the data form around which Sauerbraten is based. octa-todo referred to stuff that needed to be done to the file structure.

I get it now...

And I'm also having fun playing around w/ Independence and other old editions, very much like cube.

9 x 9 = the biggest I've seen in these forums!
