<b>Microsoft Windows 98 or ME</b><br />
|
|
You may find that you need to rename the file <i>DbgHelp_RemoveThisPartIfOnWin98.DLL</i>
|
|
in your <i>bin_win32</i> folder to <i>DbgHelp.DLL</i> for AssaultCube to work on these platforms.

<img style="float:left;margin-right:10px;margin-top:25px;" src="pics/linux.png" />
|
|
<b>Linux</b><br />You'll need to make sure the appropriate OpenGL drivers are installed, plus these libraries:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul style="margin-left:30px;">
|
|
<li>
|
|
libSDL 1.2
|

|
|
<b>Other operating systems</b><br />
|
|
If you can run the neccesary libraries/drivers and are able to compile the source by yourself, you
|
|
may be able to port AssaultCube onto other platforms. Please note: they may not be officially supported.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Low end machines</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please note that the hardware specifications shown above are the bare minimums, so you may need a lot of adjustment to get AssaultCube to run.
|
|
We recommend that you run AssaultCube on better hardware than this. If you have troubles with AssaultCube, make sure
|
|
that the drivers for your graphics card are up-to-date.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Recommended GFX settings for low/medium end machines:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Resolution: 800x600@16bpp</li>
|
|
<li>Antialiasing: OFF</li>
|
|
<li>Anisotropic Filtering: OFF</li>
|
|
</ul>

More help for installing AssaultCube on different Operating Systems can be found on the wiki

<h2>
|
|
Display settings
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you first start AssaultCube, you will be prompted to change some fundamental settings from their
|
|
defaults to how you would like them. Some display settings can be changed here.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To change more display settings, press ESCAPE and then navigate to: Settings ⇒ Video Settings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are having technical problems and need to change settings in a way that doesn't start the game
|
|
to do it, you can modify the batch/shell script by adding parameters into it. How to edit the batch/shell and the
|
|
different parameters can be found in <a href="commandline.xml">command-line arguments</a>. You can also add
|
|
<a href="reference.xml">commands</a> to <i>config/autoexec.cfg</i> so they automatically execute on startup.

<h2>Special notes</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i><b>Users of Windows Vista:</b></i><br />
|
|
Make sure you have full permissions to the AssaultCube folder so that your files
|
|
(such as configs, screenshots and maps) may write there. To do this right-click the AssaultCube folder and then
|
|
click <i>properties</i>. Click the <i>security</i> tab. Find your user name in the list under <i>Groups or user
|
|
names</i> and click on it. Press <i>edit</i> and check the <i>Full control</i> box. You will need to press OK on the UAC also.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i><b>Users of Linux:</b></i><br />
|
|
Note: Files that AssaultCube writes during the game (such as screenshots, configs and
|
|
maps) get saved in the hidden <i>.assaultcube</i> folder in your users home directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: Thanks to Harps for explaining the permissions of Windows Vista and KanslozeClown for explaining the process for using AC on Mac OS X.</p>
