Excellent work, a great addition to the community.

WahnFred | 2007-09-22 23:11

Thanks for your positive response so far! :)

Finally the Mac version is out now!

Next version including player listing/search is in progress (needs server patch).

Regards,
WahnFred

No Linux version?

apflstrudl | 2007-09-23 08:36

just read the forums(link).

Linux(32 bit): Click

Linux(64 bit): Click

Maddog1906 | 2007-09-23 13:00

I like the idea! 5/5, but when I type in my game dirctory it says I didn't type it. can u help me out?

WahnFred | 2007-09-23 14:27

Hi Maddog1906,

please use these buttons right to the executable/gamedir text controls, which opens a file/dir selection dialog. Select your binary/gamedir and it should work then.
I'm going to change the underlying wxWidgets control in the next release.

Thanks for your vote!

The dependencies listed on the-conquerors.net forum are not correct for Ubuntu. They should be libwxbase2.8-0 & libwxgtk2.8-0.
I built a deb package for Ubuntu for my LiveDVD, Kwadrix: Gamers Edition, so I figured I'd share it. This is the 32bit version only.

http://kwadrix.com/kge/debs/csl-0.6.1-linux32.deb

Hopefully they will release the source soon.

SheeEttin | 2007-09-25 01:41

Nice deb, thanks.
Though I only installed it to test, I've uninstalled it because I'll never use it, to be honest.

I think it (it being the program) would be a little better if, upon clicking on a master server/game, it automatically updated from that master, rather than not showing any servers until you updated manually.

Also, you (you being WahnFred) might want to look into spacing of objects in that dialog with a list of things on the left and things that change on the right depending on the thing on the left (a preferences dialog? I don't remember...), because when I picked a different thing from the list on the left, a few things moved around and covered other things up.
I'd tell you what it was exactly, but I've already uninstalled it and deleted the deb.

Oh, and this is Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty), if it matters.

I think it (it being the program) would be a little better if, upon clicking on a master server/game, it automatically updated from that master, rather than not showing any servers until you updated manually.

I did not add auto-update yet, since updating from the master can take some time, depending on your connection and the load on the master server. So pressing F5 to update from the master shouldn't be a problem, but I'm going to add an option for auto-updating.

Also, you (you being WahnFred) might want to look into spacing of objects in that dialog with a list of things on the left and things that change on the right depending on the thing on the left (a preferences dialog? I don't remember...), because when I picked a different thing from the list on the left, a few things moved around and covered other things up.

I dont have the problem that some control is covered by another. A simple screenshot could help a lot.

I'd tell you what it was exactly, but I've already uninstalled it and deleted the deb.

Should not be hard, to reinstall it and make a screenshot - Thanks in advance!

Oh, and this is Kubuntu 7.10 (Feisty), if it matters.

You mean 7.04, but it doesn't matter.

WahnFred | 2007-09-25 11:51

Thank you for making a .deb package - since I'm using a rpm based distro, i have no clue in making .debs. I'm going to build it on the openSUSE Buildservice, which builds Ubuntu packages too.
Of course, the libwxgtk2 package is also needed, since the base part of wxWidgets is for console apps only.
The source gets released later this day, stay tuned :)

wake | 2007-09-27 13:27

I think there is one thing missing: support for password protected servers!

//.blog http://www.wakeup-4-life.de

c0rdawg | 2007-11-10 23:02

There's no such thing as password protected servers in Sauerbraten...

WahnFred | 2007-11-11 11:05

Not in Sauerbraten but in Cube and AssaultCube.

Falco | 2007-11-15 18:41

you should add a direct link:
for example: directer link win 32

is
https://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=209310&use_mirror=belnet&filename=CSL-Installer-v0.7.5.exe&25591842

SheeEttin | 2007-11-15 21:16

No, you shouldn't. Sourceforge uses mirrors to speed downloads for users and to decrease the load on any one server. Bypassing the mirror chooser isn't a good idea.

Death | 2007-11-22 21:06

This is an amazing creation you get a 5/5 stars from me but i got some ideas that i think you might be able to implement.

One is that when u have access to the extended server info and you can view all the player it would be cool if the player you click on could have a small page about them like a picture of their player (avatar) then you might be able to converse with the other creators of Cube, Sauerbraten, AC, and BloodFrontier, and see if it would be possible to have a username that would carry over from each platform of the CubeEngine Game, it would also be cool to have a system devised that would calculate your ranking among all of the other players, also if you could have a total Number of Games join/played, also number of frags and deaths total, like of all the games.

I understand that this would be a major task to undertake, but i believe that it would be one of the Greatest things to do to the CubeEngine based game, I myself would be willing to help in any way I can.

Firstly, the rating:
5 out of 5 stars :D

It will find itself very useful. Wish XFire's got that feature :( but this tool will help me fins servers without even entering Sauer to find servers. Anyway, good job and keep it updated ;)

Falco | 2007-11-28 18:13

all right GREAT

farcry15-w00t | 2007-12-11 02:00

i like it but the extended info doesn't always work on all servers :(
also i would like to be able to chat with players without starting up the entire game

-=We are the w00t=-

MeatROme | 2007-12-11 05:11

nomen est omen ... it extends the regular behaviour of sauerbraten servers ... a modified binary (no source I found to compile from) is required. Maybe in some future release sauerbraten will do this too - I'd say we can consider this a field-beta ;)

Coolguy | 2008-05-23 19:41

I downloaded the server patch for windows, but then when I play sauerbraten, it says my server is an older protocol!

WahnFred | 2008-05-29 18:23

The patch/binary which is available on Sourceforge was for the summer edition of Sauerbraten. The extended info is now integrated in the Sauerbraten and AssaultCube devel branch, so with the upcoming release of these games and CSL, each server has this feature.

Quin | 2008-08-21 03:42

CSL was updated on the 18th of August 2008. Download it today for Sauerbraten, Cube, AssaultCube and Blood Frontier monitoring of all servers!

Mic | 2008-10-13 18:32

CSL fails to launch game for me. both sauer and BF. these 2 error messages:

Mislukt om te starten:C:\Program\ Files\(x86)\Sauerbraten\bin\sauerbraten.exe -q"C:\Program Files(x86)\Sauerbraten -x"connect "

and one that is really similar about cannot find file. somehow it fx*cks the file location to sauerbraten.exe up, altough i did enter it correctly in the settings.. any help?

WahnFred | 2008-10-17 16:04

Unfortunately this is a known bug in the windows version which is fixed for the next release. A workaround is to move the games to a folder which doesn't contain spaces.

Stotto | 2009-04-17 00:54

The easiest workaround for this is to use the relative path "../Sauerbraten/sauerbraten.bat" to find the executable.
(which has to be done at first installation time, as windows CSL won't actually let you modify these settings, and doesn't delete them when uninstalled)

jackycola | 2008-10-15 01:21

This looks like the right place to say thanks.

Thanks. I often use it and it's very helpful.

FischKopF | 2009-12-01 15:24

will this ever be updated ?

Berk | 2009-12-01 20:34

The current version is 0.8.1.79 You can find this version on the ogros website

FischKopF | 2009-12-01 22:08

thanks, i found it! i wonder why it is not updated on its official site.

Windecker | 2009-12-03 23:07

A link would be nice. I myself fail to find it...

FischKopF | 2009-12-04 12:45

http://ogros.org/tips-a-tricks.html

its a bit hidden on the site :D

Windecker | 2009-12-04 22:03

Thanks, your right, it is a bit hidden. ^_^

Razgriz | 2009-12-04 22:31

plain awesome but how do i search for players? o.O

MasterTechCC | 2009-12-12 19:33

I had this program for quite a while when will there be an update???

MasterTechCC | 2009-12-12 19:48

oh nvm i got the new one XD its nice

ChineseChef | 2009-12-21 18:09

... 2 BIG problems. First: It will only show five or six CTF EDITION servers when I update from master and there's no way to change it to show all server versions.
Second: I get "illegal server message: type" errors when trying to connect, possibly because the listed servers are CTF EDITION, not Trooper Edition.

skiing_penguins | 2009-12-21 20:20

... maybe that's cause you didnt download the newest version... as stated by Berk in the previous comments... newest version has the trooper edition servers.

Drekow | 2009-12-22 13:36

I also have some issue related this software, on MAC it does not save preferences, so it can't store where sauer binary is. And consequently lot of functions does not work. A nice tool hoverer.

MasterTechCC | 2009-12-26 18:15

ChineseChef have you tried deleting the old master server for the CTF version? it might work

Dom | 2010-02-05 12:17

how do it work? i installed it and everything but it dont work =(

00Hugo00 | 2010-02-05 12:19

me too, it shows only CTF and Assassin edition servers.

TomekGNO | 2010-02-05 13:23

for linux users: current version is here http://sourceforge.net/projects/cubelister/develop, but you need to compile that yourself, i found a nice instruction how to do it: http://en.pastebin.ca/1758793 (bf beta 2 servers are listed well too)

afroninja | 2010-05-27 22:36

why cant i update the master server i keep pressing f5 and going into master to update but it wont let me

00Hugo00 | 2010-05-28 08:39

It's normal, you should update master address or something like that to the new version.
But I don't know how to do it :(
