This is confirmed on 2 gentoo systems - esc.. select multiplayer.. server browser appears.. select a server: program as well as X hangs. ctrl-alt-bksp required. Announcement of the problem is located at URL above. There is a patch available for this located at: http://tunes.org/~eihrul/enet_2002_10_28.tar.gz Please apply to ebuild. Thanks. Dave (lanalyst)
thats not a patch, thats a repkg of the enet directory heh try her out and see how she fares :) http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-games/cube/cube-20021020-r1.ebuild?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
The patch/enet rpkg corrects the looping situation however multiplayer is still not functional with the network. Active servers are marked [different cube protocol] and cannot join. I poked around their forums for answers and ran across this: by SleepwalkR on 10/17/2002 09:26 through 217.80.117.70 in Web-based server browser For obvious reasons, I won't include the code that implements the network protocol used in the current Cube binaries, neither as source nor as binary files. You will have to write your own plugin to handle the protocols you want to use in your own game. 'Obvious reasons' probably meaning that someone could conceivably hack the code and create quite a cheat version. The source is apparently provided if someone would like to develop their own game based on their engine. Additionaly, the readme.txt in the src directory explains how this works with the licensing: 3. release the sources with an incompatible network protocol or other changes compared to the binaries you release. For the cube's own game I chose option 3, i.e. you can only play the official cube game using the binaries supplied by me, and you can't compile your own clients for multiplayer use (you can still make custom clients that work with matching custom servers, or play cube single player maps compatible with the real thing). This situation is not ideal, but there is no easy way around it. Anyway, it seems this ebuild has to be a binary install. The current linux binaries for the recursion bug of 10/28 are located at: http://tunes.org/~eihrul/cube_linux_clients_2002_10_28.tar.gz Sorry for the trouble... Dave (lanalyst)
alrighty, should be all set now ;) http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-games/cube/cube-20021020-r2.ebuild?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
