found this game engine. the pre-made stuff is cool and fun, but the engine is very difficult, i cant figure it out even with tutorials.

Then the developpers never tested it, or didn't make it themselves... If I make something, I know what it can do, and what it can't do.

Sauerbraten is a game. The engine you download is what they used.

I stumbled across an fps game the other day made in the cube engine. It's meant to be pretty big.

I troll because I care.

ingame press "E" to enter edit mode and select by using the left mouse key. then use mouse3(wheel) to up and down the selected block, in edit mode hold G down and the wheel mouse up/down to change the size.
use the right mouse to select one qurter of face which can be used to make curves and ship.
its old... but its a stable and awsome engine. bloom is exucuted brillainty maintaing fps and the speed of everything is just what you need to realease some totestrone on nublets

I actualy give the engine a rating of 8.2/10.
but I prefer the source engine

@ alucard
so, no one has posted a thread about it.

by that i think they mean they are not sure of every thing they can make, the terrain editor is also used as a object modeler so you can make some pretty epic maps with no added models, it just takes a while to make them.
@ Death head
no, sauebraten is a collection of small games and multi-player maps that are used to show off cube engine and its potential.
@ LT tatters
hey thanks man, but what do the other buttons do? i can press like, any button on my keyboard then move the wheel and it does something random to my map. i guess i will experimnt

try searching some pages off the Off-Topic front page. Or do a quick search...

Saur's nice, handling something smoothly... It's BSP. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

It uses a 6 direction heightfield. (That's also why it's deformable)

Quote: "no, not bsp, thats half life and quake,"


Binary space partitioning is just a method of storing level/layout information. It could/can be implemented by any game. I think the heightfield mechanism employed by Cube/Cube2 is very similar to BSP
