All, maybe some 20 odd years ago I was an active member of the community. I was the guy who mad that big slide map. It was super unpolished garbage that my smooth brain was able to create at the time but was largely popular. I was also pretty godly at INSTAGIB game mode. At least I thought so.

Longstort short I recently spoke with a pretty popular youtuber. I wanted to showcase them the powerhouse of a community at the time by showing him the maps you may still have laying around on a hard drive or may be on quadropolis if that is still around.

Leave a comment if you are interested in grabbing onto some nostalgia! Thank you all.

Today I received this postcard from my cousin and I immediately noticed the similarity to Map Venice

Hello! Hope you are all doing well. I am a current camp instructor looking for some help setting up a local sauerbraten server for my class. I have been following all the instructions but admittedly I have a lot of questions and problems that are coming up. I was hoping someone in here could really help me out.

All the computers that are used are going to be on the same network . We were trying to figure out how to make a server show up and be playable. With the ip address, ours starts with 142 (I know most start with 198 or something in that range) so do we have to follow different steps. As well since we are hosting a local one, will we need to get access to the 28785 port? Or is there a workaround to it.

Finally, I have tried and tried over to put in different values for the server.bat and the server-init file but nothing seems to be working.

Our computers right now are running windows 11, so I don't know if that changes anything as well.

If anyone could please help me out or even direct me to any resources that would be great, I really want to set this up for the kids as I had a really fun time playing when I was a kid.

Anyway, its a long shot but hope this works.

Thanks.

Pretty much the title--after becoming familiar with the Quake engine, I wanted to possibly try making a total conversion game using an engine that 1) performs well on low-end hardware and 2) doesn't have a strong copyleft license. Quake has 1) but not 2).

Additionally, the character control in Sauerbraten is super fun, different from Quake but still feels great. It'd be a neat multi-year project to work on a short single-player game, but the teaching resources don't seem nearly as wide/deep as the ones for Quake. Hence my question, is there a modding discord?

So, I haven't used Sauerbraten much recently (Even though I had it installed, and used it a little), but I've wanted to get back into level designing with it. However, when I tried to start it today, I got an error saying "OpenGL 2.0 or greater is required!"

I haven't had this error until a few days ago, and so far I'm only seeing it with Sauerbraten (I tried downloading AssaultCube, and that ran just fine). I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Cube 2, but that didn't help.

Has anyone else on here run into this error? And if so, has anyone been able to figure out what to do about this error?

I just tried to play after a fairly long time but only 5 servers were listed and nobody was playing. Is there a newer version?

I remeber playing a prototype (most likely) community made sauerbarten mobile. It was very janky.

Does anybody else know that project?

Update: To transfer your cube 2: SAUERBRATEN world to Cube 2: Tesseract (assuming you use a linux system [ i use zorin os]) you must :

1. locate: /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.sauerbraten.Sauerbraten/x86_64/stable/1e1e5eed3464cb39f5e6d17060154699c59fc4e1ce39e44e21c04b0da2566082/files/share/sauerbraten/packages/base Cube 2 sauer. stores it's maps there

2. Copy 4 files: map.cfg map.png map.ogz map.wpt.

3. Locate: /var/lib/flatpak/app/gg.tesseract.Tesseract/x86_64/stable/106037418366a327aad870054d9ab407cd8e397fb2e9e14d60031be95cdb57ad/files/lib/tesseract/media/map.Tesseract stores it's maps There

4. paste your files (if you fail do do so, go up one file to media, left click on an empty space and press "open in terminal" and type: sudo chown [insert username here] map ,, that wil give you, the user, ownership of the file)

5. enjoy (please note that textures are still a WIP, i'll update this when i figure out how to transfer the textures)

6. The root of the texture problem is the .cfg file. i'm still resarching

when I open a game in any match I cant see anything I can see crates and thats about it. I am using the raspberry pi edition, https://github.com/2-bithacker/Cube2-Sauerbraten-Raspberry-Pi-Edition/tree/main

Rather than be judgemental for the two people who request to post in a year, I decided to mark the subreddit as public. If I see any spam or abuse coming in, I'll change it back to restricted.

Hi,

I created r/sauerbraten back in 2011 when I found a fun, open-source game with a lot of unique features that I could play online with dial-up.

In order to combat spam and low quality posts, this subreddit has ALWAYS been restricted. ALL posters require a moderator to approve them for posting. This has kept the community small, but has helped combat the constant dropship scammers, repost bots, and bad actors which Reddit has done nothing to address in the last decade.

I didn't post anything on this subreddit when I changed it to Private last week, because the last post on this subreddit was 10 months ago. There's no activity here.

I find it abusive and offensive, not just as a contributor to Reddit's bottom line but as a person just using a website, to receive an automated threat for literally using the tools provided by the system they themselves created and provide.

I won't tag the head of this company like many others have been doing, because I don't like to write gross content, and it's likely only a sock-puppet account.

There will be no "democratic poll". There will be no John Oliver content. Allowing more content, even in protest, only creates more pages, more opportunities for ad space, and further potential for alienation and "consequences" being imposed by corporate abusers and sociopathic multi-millionaires.

If any of the other mods disagree with me, step forward and I'll just give you the sub. I don't care anymore, and as soon as r/BoostForReddit stops working I'm likely done with this site.

Backrooms mod for Cube 2 Sauerbraten

I just downloaded the game yesterday and have been plugging some bot matches and it's been really fun so far.

However, I heard that there's a shit ton of mods and customs maps and stuff out there so I wanted to ask what the good/popular ones are that a new player should know about. Just like every other game with a long and deeply entrenched modding scene, I'm sure there's something of an essential list out there somewhere.

I know the map making tools are a huge part of the game but I really don't feel like messing around with it just yet and am wondering what existing community made maps are really good.

On a final note, is there some mind of centralized discord where everyone hangs out? If so, what's the link?

Everything still looks eye pleasing even in 2022 except for those models. The weapons, player models and items are still Quake 3 quality. I was wondering if anybody's done more detailed replacement models yet, where to obtain if so, and how to install.

I got Cube 2 a couple months ago, l was looking for games a toaster can run, and found assultcube, then the cube engine, and then sauerbraten. I’ve pretty much only played against bots. At random skill levels. I have a few questions. 1: where is the discord sever? I heard there was a cube 2 discord, but I can’t find it anywhere. 2: how can I make maps? I wanna make some cool maps, how can I do this well, and how can I get started? 3: can I get some custom stuff in the game? I wanna have a custom hit sound, and possibly a hit marker. Is this possible? 4: can I change some of the graphics to fit better? I’ve noticed that the characters look a bit too cartoony, and a lot of the maps look a bit too dark. Is there any way I can download a file pack that changes a bunch of the textures and lighting and stuff to look better to me?

Anyone know of any communities organizing some competitive play? I've missed this game so much...I'm addicted again trying to find some active communities

I know this is a very noob question here but I’m wondering how to make a server (ideally a locked one) on mac so I can play maps I’ve made w friends?? Sorry I know that’s probably a really simple thing lmfao, I’ve played this game for years but only just got into mapping!!!!

Ddos problem! I have a server, see, but I also have a problem. People keep ddosing my server. I think the main perps include Morex, because whenever he comes on, the server locks up. Slater, because he openly confesssed to ddosing my server. And probably derek/swatllama because sometimes when he, or him using one of his alternative names, comes on, the server starts acting up. What should I do about this? I have an anti-ddos script, but what shall be done about the troublemakers?

Hello,

I'm new to Cube 2: Sauerbraten and stared exploring a fork based on it, Tesseract. What caught my attention after having been briefly acquainted with it is whether or not it'll be viable for creating and releasing games with it.

I'm looking at this piece of software as a libre and open source way to create a first person shooter, with at least some of the boilerplate logic required for one already in place, i.e. as what would be required in a more conventional game engine such as Unity, Godot or Unreal Engine.

However, I feel like that owing to the relatively small communities surrounding this and related game projects, as well as with the scale of the project itself, it'll seem more akin to simply being a mod creation and/or level editing tool, and I don't know if and how far I can create my own custom experiences with it.

What's your verdict on this?

I was playing cube2 sauerbraten, when this jerk came on and made my name into very perverse titles, which I would never use. What did he do and how can I stop him from doing it again??

One (1) Insta CTF is the literally only still active server, with a very small race server still there. Even Venice Insta Team is basically dead, which was still very active when I last played. Not to speak of Regen Capture. Is it even still worth it for the admins to run the servers for the game, with often less than 30 ppl playing at one time? lol. But seriously, what happened to everyone, life, eh?
