Thank you! And I'm honored to hear that.

See you around?

...of Dumbledore.

You heard it.

(By the way, has anyone talked to Happy Tanker recently?)

Well, mine's easier enough to understand... I'm a bit of a Harry Potter geek, so I love the character Albus Dumbledore in the books. It's sad because it's so unoriginal. My Callsign used to be Xxdx0xbxX. But that was really hard to type all the time, and globally register it, and it just didn't show...

Had that same bug with Virtual PC. To fix the problem you should edit some of the variables, press Apply and then you can switch to another object normally.

That, my friend is one of the more HARDER questions of life and development of open-source games.

For Mac users, how about iTunes compatability?

That could be an awesome idea, having some function keys to change to the next track, play, pause, volume, etc.

Could work for Windows, too, they have iTunes. Dunno about other OSes though, might have to find another alternative.

How about a woman's computer-like voice? I could tweak my voice or have my girlfriend do it...

You could disable them in your client Options. Not only can the server be able to be configured for sounds, but you can disable it also. Just think of it the same way for _mirror. The server configures that as an option, but you can disable it in Effects settings on your client. Same goes for sounds.

Yeah, I used GarageBand, then Exported into Audacity. Works like a charm.

You wouldn't mind having a British accent in some of those, would you?



No, would I? It's okay if you don't, sometimes American accents are better for this sort of thing.

Here's an idea...

How about you do "/clear <callsign>", and it just clears all the messages from that user in the chat box?

How useful would that be?

Tell us!

Great! Thanks!

Yes, you have any idea how to do that?

I've made a new thread. http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3803

On some servers I've seen a texture be moved on an object. How would you go about doing this?

Thanks.

Ok, thanks anyway

No, that's not what I meant... reread my post carefully...

I want the pyramid to actually MOVE, like to PHYSICALLY TURN. Like you can see it move through your view.

Hi...

I am just playing around with making my map, and I want to spin around a pyramid.

I know, I know, you're going to tell me that I should use angular, but that moves the TANK and not the object. I want to rotate the pyramid around in circles.

Any way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Yes! It worked!

Thank you thank you thank you!

:( The exporter doesn't work for me. I am using Mac OS X Tiger, and I just downloaded Wings3D. All I do is make a simple box, and I do File>Export>BZFlag (.bzw)... and I get a window asking me where to put it. So, I put it on my Desktop, then it gives me a message: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y...

Thank you so much!

Wow, that's clever!

Now, that will solve my flag problem, but what about my spawn problem?

That's the ONLY way to do it?

Yes, I've seen that, but that's not exactly what I want. I have eight long rectangles that are arranged around a middle fighting area. Currently, there are flags in the boxes (since I made them trampolines) and you have a VERY good chance of spawning ON the trampolines. I want to make it so you CANN...

How can I define a zone to make the server drop no flags on it or disallow spawning on it? I have a lot of trampolines in my map and people are complaining because they keep on spawning on tramps. It's getting annoying...

Thanks in advance for your help.
