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

The oldest release according to that page is 2002_10_20, but it says it was uploaded on 2003-10-13 22:00. :-|

It probably has been re-uploaded. (Broken file or server switch)

Yes but in the older packages readme it has changelogs going back to '01. and it says "older history deleted"

It must go back quite a ways.

You could probably find something on the main Cube site:

#7: historic cube release...

http://cubeengine.com/cube_historic_2001_05_26.zip

in this 1.6 meg download, you get the oldest cube release I could still find. This at the time was a release just for friends to test, so "semi public".

It comes with source code (src & vcpp folders) and a runnable version (cube folder), note the 44k engine size!

as a bonus, the devshots folder contains some screenshots of even earlier versions of the engine.

This version already has plenty of functionality, including LOD (locked to 16 in the autoexec.cfg, for some reason the exe gets really low fps on modern machines), lighting, and of course, editing (see the readme.txt in the cube folder).

Enjoy, and see how far we've come...

Wait...

Where's the .cgz files? And is it only just flying around as if you're in editing mode? And will it compile on mac?

Sorry for the triple post, but, how about sauer, doesn't it go back to '02?

I know I laughed too. Reminded me of the DOOM alphas where it said, "Dude, if this gets out, you can kiss your autographed game guides away!" or something like that. oh, and aard, how long had cube been in development at that point, I'm interested.

When I made Made an Xcode project including all of the source files I get a whole bunch of errors about it can't find SDL.h, doesn't recognize a whole bunch of stuff about about SDL and GL. Help, because I get the same stuff with the latest cube code and sauerbraten code.

Doesn't Sauer come with the needed SDL stuff? Or is that just the Windows version?

That's just the Windows version which puts the DLLs in its folder. Linux prefers not to create duplicates of everything and just puts one version in a single place where all programs access it. :D

I have the SDL.framework file, it still won't compile.

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