Assault Cube Portable 0.9.3 Development Test 2 (Testers Needed)

Submitted by Patrick Patience on January 30, 2008 - 2:19am.

This is Simeon's Project and Work

I am only posting this here as I had to upload it for him, and I didn't think adding a link to the new release in the old topic would be very efficient.

Description

Assault Cube is a free first-person shooter game based off of the game 'Cube'. The graphics are fantastic and the game is tons of good fun.

This latest Portable release comes with some minor fixes, as well as the ability to run Windowed or Full Screen. Please select and option and let me know if you automatically get that same option used next time, or if you run into problems.

Thank you, please test it out and enjoy.

right now... but testing later 'cause I have a date in few minutes... Eye-wink

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report Laughing out loud

I tried this new release on Windows Vista Home Premium and I have to say that it was more difficult to make it run than the first release... this version is more unstable, I can't say why... I even had to use ctrl+alt+del to kill it the first time I run it, the second time it worked ok...

Simeon - January 31, 2008 - 1:44pm

weird.
The only things I changed were the "run windowed" thing and some nsis-variables. None of them should affect the actual game.

on my two PCs and in my friend's PCs, it works very good (except on my Vista PC).

Moreover, the installed folder is copied in my friends computer since they want to keep it, so... for your downloading stats, add another 25 computers... one of the guys took it and copied on their University's PCs, to play in LAN... Eye-wink

I'm sorry for this delay, I totally forgot to report... shame on me... Sad

cool

Simeon - February 4, 2008 - 1:55pm

I am glad it works.
Maybe I'll have a vista machine for testing later this week.
And unfortunately, I dint have downloading stats, but maybe my hoster (thanks you Patrick) has...?

EDIT
Did you test DevTest 1 or 2?

I played this a few times

Gizmokid2005 - February 4, 2008 - 9:30am

I played this a few times with the last release. I got it installed and will be sure to give it a test when I finally get a chance Smiling (work doesn't look down too well on game playing...)

the window

carlord2 - February 7, 2008 - 1:17pm

their is something wrong with the full screen version that makes the computer freeze. the window should be re-sizable.

sorry

Simeon - February 7, 2008 - 2:45pm

I don't understand what you mean. If its full screen you cant resize it.
When exactly does your Computer freeze?

I'm gonna have to put you on SourceForge with these kinda downloads for an app that big. Only for this app, of course. E-mail me with your SourceForge username.

you should release it as a stable version... Smiling

I'm thinking in how difficult it was to find somebody able to portabilize this game and how popular it is now... Eye-wink

downloaded and am testing

Skeletorfw - February 14, 2008 - 7:55pm

downloaded and am testing tomorrow on a few different systems
will feedback soon

when is this likely to go on full release?

Great!

Skeletorfw - February 15, 2008 - 7:45am

This works fine, on three different PCs running windows home

only one reccuring problem:

there is no way to move the window when running in windowed mode
which therefore means you can't see your health and ammo counts (if you have them, i cant move the window to check)

overall good though
runs proficiantly on a 1.6ghz single core processor

I noticed that too

Simeon - February 15, 2008 - 9:22am

and haven't found a way around it. I think the installed version has the same problem, too so...

I think

Skeletorfw - February 15, 2008 - 10:23am

I think it's do with the way the program reacts to mouse movements

also if you use windows + D keys and then try to move the window, you get it stuck at the bottom

i had to re-install it

Do youmean the

Simeon - February 15, 2008 - 11:34am

portable version?
There is a ini file in the /Data/ folder. If you delete it it will ask you again if you want to run it windowed or full screen.

thanks

Skeletorfw - February 16, 2008 - 8:18am

it's sorted now
i'm having to run in full screen though

thanks

Patrick Patience (Homepage) - February 15, 2008 - 11:06pm

I didn't get your e-mail, maybe the wrong address. Remember just myfirstnamemylastname@mysite. Also, downloads on this a week have gone up 40, and Atomic Tanks is at 120.

I´ll resend it.
And as a precaution, I uploaded a text file with the email to my space on your server.
And its cool if people like my Apps Smiling

"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever

few slight hitches

Skeletorfw - February 17, 2008 - 8:25am

dunno if these are just a problem in the whole program, or in the portable only, but you cant load custom maps

:S

or any custom things

you've gotta replace things instead

Yes

Simeon - February 17, 2008 - 8:51am

I noticed that too but didn't have the time to investigate it. I hope that I find some time next week.

"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever

Don't worry about it

Skeletorfw - February 18, 2008 - 12:36pm

It's actually in the standard version of 0.93 as well,
should be fixed in 0.94

in the meantime you can load maps by pressing the usual console key (tilde) and typing in:

Map [name of the map you want to load]

(as soon as you type in "map" it comes up with a tooltip explaining it all in greater detail)

and i'm also working on re-skinning the models, just in case anyone is interested

thanks for the info

Simeon - February 18, 2008 - 2:46pm

But didn't think too much about it, since there is no much space on a PDrive to load it with maps and guns... Eye-wink

Windowed

Justin813 - February 20, 2008 - 1:30pm

Noticed a few people complaining about its windowed capabilities. Any of you considered trying DxWnd? Haven't tried it myself because I preferred the full screen mode when I tried it. Maybe check into that.

DxWnd?

Skeletorfw - February 20, 2008 - 1:46pm

what is that?
is it free?

it seems to be free

Simeon - February 20, 2008 - 1:54pm

I just googled it and there are several places you can download it from. Some seem kinda weird though. I read it is a program that forced other programs to run windowed but I didn't try it.

Finally a 3D shooter made portable!

status update

Travis Carrico - April 23, 2008 - 3:16pm

so any news on if we can do this app or not? it is just a permission thing or a closed source library thing?

Its kind of unclear

Simeon - April 24, 2008 - 5:44pm

but I got a mail by one of the devs (the lead-Artist actually) and he said its ok. So I guess its ok. I also wrote a mail to John cause he asked and wanted to know more after having read tis thread but I never got a response.

"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever

cool

Travis Carrico - April 24, 2008 - 11:09pm

well i don't know the situation but if it's open source and on sourceforge and you got permission from them, then i don't see how there could be any problems with releasing this. this is good news because i would love this app to be released next

Hmm, why would we go out and

LOGAN-Portable (Homepage) - April 25, 2008 - 3:52am

Hmm, why would we go out and ask permission for open source software to make a portable version!?!

anyway, I think this would be cool as official app, but there are MANY cool apps waiting for a release somehow. Maybe we should find a way to publish complete releases somewhere (not as alpha/beta quality) with an alternative splash screen and when PortableApps finally catches up John can just pick the apps and slap an PortableApps splash on them.

This way all the beta apps can be pulled out of limbo and the masses can start enjoying a bunch of 'new' apps.
