Hey, what file are you guys downloading? The most recent one appears to be some kind of gz. file -- which I doubt I can open. Should I go with the 2003 zip. file?

winzip or winrar will open the tar.gz, and it will work in windows or linux,

Are you guys runnin' this on ATI cards ? Because I can't get it to work on mine. (I have to map on my old comp now, bad FPS )

Engine is described as this, Cass:

? quote:
Allows in-engine editing of geometry in full 3D (you fly around the map, point / drag stuff to select it / modify it), which can even be done simultaneously with others in multiplayer (a first!). Has simplistic but effective fine grain vertex lighting that looks like lightmapping and can do dynamic lights & shadows. Doesn't need any kind of map precompilation, even lighting is done on the fly. Has very simplistic quad-tree world structure that can do slopes (heightfields with caps) and slants, water, does decent collision detection & physics, has client/server networking that goes a long way in giving a lag-free game experience, and features a Doom/Quake-style singleplayer (2 game modes, savegames) and multiplayer (12 game modes, master server / server browser, demo recording) game with some uncompromising brutal oldskool gameplay.

Hmmmm, Forceflow seems to have started a cubeengine cult in snarkpit rather quickly. I dled it at home, but prolly won't be able to run it, crappy as my computer is. Just don't forget what happened with Jim Jones and at Waco, people

i'm running it on a AMD Athlon 1,2ghz, Ge-Force 2 MX 64mb , 256mb sdram, so i think everyone here can play and run it, becouse mine runs smooth as it should [addsig]

Cool, a cult. Worship me !

You probably c?n play it, tho. Just switch to a lower resolution or something. It's playable on my Celeron 333 with 8 mb of on-board video memory, so ...
