<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<h3>System Requirements</h3>
<p>
If your Cube installation runs fine, ActionCube does too.<br />
Minimum specs: P-III 500 Mhz with gf1/radeon or better.
</p>
<p>
Recommended gfx setting for low/medium machines:
</p>
<ul>
<li>800x600@16bpp</li>
<li>Antialiasing: OFF</li>
<li>Anisotropic Filtering:OFF</li>
</ul>
<p>
Linux users: Make sure you have <i>libSDL 1.2</i>, <i>libSDL_image</i> and <i>libSDL_mixer</i> installed.
</p>
<h3>Setting Resolution</h3>
<p>
The default resolution is 1024x768. If you need to change it, modify <i>actioncube.bat</i> accordingly, e.g.:
</p>
<p>
-w800 -h600
</p>
<p>
In linux, simply pass those parameters in the command line or add them to the <i>actioncube.sh</i> shell script.
</p>
<h3>Running the game</h3>
<p>
Windows: Start the <i>actioncube.bat</i>
</p>
<p>
Linux: cd to the main actioncube directory and execute <i>actioncube.sh</i>
</p>
<h2>Basics</h2>
<h3 style="clear:both">Interface</h3>
<p>
In game, press ESC to access the main menu. From there you can do all sorts of actions, like joining multiplayer games and changing settings.
As example, in the <i>Team/Player Setup</i> submenu, you can choose your team and skin.
</p>
<p>
The menu covers the most important actions. Further customizations and actions can be done using CubeScript: To get a console
press T to open up the chat prompt. You can use it as console if you put a &ldquo;<span class="code">/</span>&rdquo; (slash) at its beginning followed by a command.
As example, type this command into the console:
</p>
<div class="code">
crosshairsize 25
</div>
<p>
This will increase the size of your crosshair.
</p>
<h3>Setting Your Name</h3>
<p>
Open the console as described above and type the following command:
</p>
<div class="code">name yourname</div>
<p>
where <i>yourname</i> is your desired name.
</p>
<h3>Joining a Game</h3>
<p>
In game, press ESC and choose <i>Multiplayer &rArr; Refresh Server List</i>. The masterserver will be queried and provide you with a list of servers.
Do so every few days, to add newly created servers to your list.
</p>
<p>
Once you updated your server list, you can use <i>Multiplayer &rArr; Serverbrowser</i>.
Simply select a server (up-/downarrow) and press return.
</p>
<p>
Alternatively, you can connect to a server directly using this command:
</p>
<div class="code">
connect N P
</div>
<p>
Where N is a valid IP or FQDN and P a password (optional).
</p>
