#1522: Modeling

by OCA| on 03/01/2005 23:30

I think much of the fous is being turned to Sauerbraten - which I've piddled with long enough to get VERY excited over.
Nonetheless, I enjoy piddling with Cube, and any models I make now and piddle with in Cube could be brought over to Sauerbraten with little or no hassle I would think.
As far as using 3dsMax, I don't have $3,000 to spare on a modeling program either, but a two year license was included in the cost of tuition at the school I am attending.
Turned out that Milkshake3d did the trick though. I might even register, it looks like a pretty capable program. Wish I had more time to piddle with it though =/

I'm right on the edge of releasing Cube Legends, which has a much stronger focus on mapmodels than ordinary Cube. I'm considering some interface changes to make it even more mapmodel-friendly (ie, making some commands that are specific to mapmodels, changing the sparklies for mapmodels to an orange that i came across, which is easy to see). Perhaps that'll help with the whole apathy thing.

I guess if the community was bigger more people would map, make textures, models, play, etc...

I notice the change to, and it's ashame. So much talent has come to this forum, it would be a sad day to see it (interest in CUBE) fade away.

I play many SP FPS games but I always come back to CUBE.

Tentus, I hope your mod is a success, perhaps it will spark an interest and bring in some new blood.

I congradulate (bad speller) everyone that has worked so hard and created so much for this fine game. Long live CUBE.

I have not forgotten cube, there will for sure be another version... but between job, social life, and the 101 other projects I am trying to do, its hard to find time.

Both cube and sauerbraten will need to be mostly community driven in the future. Sauerbraten already is that, and cube will get there eventually.

"[...]and cube will get there eventually."

Do you mean you might include other peoples code improvements and patches if they fit cube's-way?
This would be great!

#1527: specific help with sound FX please?

by JB on 03/02/2005 22:27

hey mappers -

almost done with my first map-pack for cube, a 5-level collection done with the egypt textures. i'm really stuck on getting my own sound fx in there though. i've got the soundtrack thing down, but can anyone please help me with the specifics of adding my own sounds? i've read and re-read the manual, and every other tutorial i can find, with no luck. i also have not found one single map online that addds its own sound fx, and not just it's own soundtrack.
PLEASE HELP!
:)

#1528: sound/music

by _nieb on 03/03/2005 00:40

to do sound effects put this in the CFG file for the map...

registersound \"sfx/sound1\" //51
registersound \"sfx/sound2\" //52


alias level_trigger_1 [sound 51]
alias level_trigger_2 [sound 52]

(all sounds must be under the .../cube/packages/sounds/ directory)

...then, in your map when placeing an entity make sure you use the one that doesnt make the rumble sound (/newent trigger N 3)

for music put this in your CFG file...

music musicdir/song1.mp3

...and to have the music change during a map...

alias level_trigger_3 [music musicdir/song2.mp3]

Hi, I was wondering how to export from Blender to Cube.
Anyone know how, and could you give me instructions?

I finished the above map. Some areas are a bit bland but it is still a decent map.

#1533: New Map

by mormir on 03/06/2005 20:10

Hi, i've created a new multiplayer map for Cube. I'd like to play on it on net, but i don't know how.
Once i played on the map that was created by some guy. He add it on the server. Can you tell me how to do this?

And sory for my english... I'm Pole and i just learning your language.

by makkE on 03/07/2005 01:08

mormir:
the easiest way would be: go on an empty server. type /map yourmap.
once the map is loaded type /sendmap. That will send the map to the server.
When people join, ask them to type /getmap (this way, they will dl the map from the server)
most people know how it works, though, so if they see the server you are on in the serverbrowser, and see the unfamiliar mapname, they will join and type /getmap.

If there are already people on the server, you will have to convince them to vote for your map.. you type /map yormapname to vote. DO NOT type sendmap before the vot has worked (and you are on your own map), because otherwise, you will send them the standart map.
When the vote has passed, tell ppl to type /getmap, after you done the /sendmap (doing a sendmap will tell people to /type getmap, too)

#1539: Re: 2nd floors

Simple answer: it´s not possible.

You can use the bridge model, though, or dcp´s architectural blocks, found at:
cube.dietmarpier.de

But I wouldn´t rcomment building a whole floor with them, you´ll get lightning problems, and problems to put items on the floor.. a clever layout can produce pretty much the impression of having lots of diffrent levels in a map ;)
