I find that organising games is good becose you really get a chance of ACUTTALY PLAYING MP ON CUBE witch is the best . But this way , i think is a bad idiea . Instead , we should all talk togeter and organise a big game , not just say when you going to play , because how sure is it going to be that other peaple would want to join . Or another way to organise games is by joining a clan or making a clan . This is my opinion , you can say what you want about it . Bye

This would be eased incredibly much if this were to be, somehow, arranged here on the cube homepage. A challenge scheme or something.. I know there's an ESL ladder, but this would be just to find occasions to play serious matches, but still just for fun...

#4: pager-style?

by D.plomat on 05/21/2003 12:34

The most often, when 2-3 persons are playing, it looks like more and more players connect and some servers get very active, and when i would like to play and there's no-one, if i don't need my computer for other use, i connect to a server and hopefully wait. IMO it's maybe the first player who connect won't have enough patience/time to wait, and some player may just take a look on serverbrowser/website and go their way if there's no active one.
So i'm making a little bash script with wget/awk to parse servers page. when i've made it really useful(pipe to mbrola to have a nice voice say "1 cube player connected", play a sound, or -but i'll not likely have time to- a Gnome/KDE taskbar applet), i'll package it for download.
Of course, if we could also have an agenda-like on the site, it would be great...

That could be very helpful. One of the biggest problems in online gaming is getting a dead server going.

#6: pager-style

Well, i had foud some good info on coding a KDE panel applet, on:

http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/panel-applets.html

but the download link is broken, and the e-mail of the author isn't valid.
I've downloaded the kwanda applet source, but it's more complex than i thought, as it uses every optional kde applet function. So now i'm working on reducing it to the minimum to have a base to start with, but as it's a kde2 applet, it doesn't compile with my kde3 libs. And it would only be suitable for kde3, not gnome or other kde versions. So i've stalled it until i find a clean and quick way to start devel of an applet. -I'll give it a try this week-end-

But for now i've made a trivial bash wget+awk script. maybe it could be used in a background script that periodically calls it and notify by playing a sound, pipe to text2phone speech synth or sending a mail...

Here's the source:

#!/bin/sh
wget http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/masterserver/ -O - 2>/dev/null | \
awk 'BEGIN { FS="</td>"; RS="</tr>" } /list/ {if ($0 !~
/(Unreachable)|(coopedit)/) \
{ gsub("[\t\n\r]",""); printf($1); printf("\t"); printf($2); printf("\n")
}}' | \
awk 'BEGIN { FS="[<>]" } /list/ { printf($7); printf("\t"); printf($5);
printf("\n") }' | \
awk '($1 != "0")'


don't know if it'll be correctly escaped in the forum, anyway i'll upload it on a webserver in some days when i'm back at home.

#8: Pager-style applet

by D.plomat on 06/29/2003 18:11, refers to #5

Well, here it is:

http://dplomat.web1000.com/downloads/kcubeapplet.tar.gz

still have to be improved, and rpm-packaged, but for now it's usable, just need to have the libs to compile kde application,

./configure -prefix=/usr (or other kde location)
make
as root:
make install
