I noticed this on xmission the other day and really don't like it. That is to say that sometimes, you respawn in mid-air and then drop to the ground, leaving you like a clay pigeon gently tossed into the air. Not good. Actually xmission runs the current cvs build 1.10.3, which had a even worse ctf ...

Yes, this was a bug with 1.10.0. It has been fixed in 1.10.2.

Unfortunately the player that is impervious must upgrade to fix the problem.

Server ops can mitigate the problem a little by adding -sb to their bzfs command lines, which means "spawn on buildings". In this way sometimes tanks spawn on buildings, which should be less dangerous than on the ground. But yes, the currently algorithm is completely random, now.

Re: Oh yeah, and another thing...

The newbs will catch on a *lot* quicker if the non-bunnies are some color other than black (which means "shoot me" in FFA). How about blue, red, purple or green? A valid point, however I kinda like the good vs. evil mantra of white and black tanks. Hopefully as time goes on, this tk probl...

Why Play?

Thanks folks for the replies, I'm a huge BZ fan, so understand what i'm asking, I'd really like you to be critical as to why you play other MP games over BZFlag. Obviously there's always the round-robin effect that you go thru to keep things fresh, but who can detail why they want to play mp online ...

yes, altho admins can change this at will in the next release.

So if you wanted gms to fly twice as long it can be done easily, and while the game is going on.

Why Play?

Being as you have an account here, you should be able to answer both questions, unless like me, you won't spring any green to actually pay for games.

Other than the GM's lifetime being shortened by 5%, If there is a difference, it was not an intentional change.

Under what circumstance?

Were you jumping? Did you have a speed modifying flags? Is you lag huge? Where you changing world parameters?

Any hints?

So while it's a week away, it will stay a week away indefinitely. 1.9 has alot of sw33t stuff in it. And hopefully you will see some improvement in the network perfor...

The odd numbers are development builds. When Tim's happy with that version, he bumps the number to the next even one, and does an official release.

Well, i think there's no question that this is a bug. Worlds built on bugs, should expect to have problems in the future. However, having said that, You can still do what you want.
