Re: Arc and box, same Z axis height, same parameters size he

From the 2.0.14 Changelog:
* Add Options -> Display -> AntiFlicker option - trepan

Only affects boxes and pyramids, iirc. The trick used is to
make coplaner faces use the same texture coordinate space.
The 2.99.x code makes it possible to use a similar setup on
any mesh face is well.

The 2.99.x code already provides the ability to add those features.

PTF (Plant The Flag)

PTF (Plant The Flag) is a new game mode where you try to capture the enemy team bases by planting one of your flags on their base. The initial PTF map that ahs3 and I have created has three teams. The PTF map is currently running on bzbattleground.com:5585 , courtesy of ahs3. Here are the extra fea...

Re: Different Team Flags

The 2.99.x has different texture for different team flags. You
could also use the 2.99.x client-side lua scripting capabilities
to render the flags as different types of fruit (might bring new
meaning to "cherry picking" in bzflag games).

GeoIP v1.0

The GeoIP plugin announces player countries as they join, and provides the /geoip command to provide a listing of player countries. P.S. The country database file is not included in the zip file. Read the top of the geoip.cpp file to find out where you can download one. P.P.S. This might work out-of...

Some improvements that you might consider: 1. Use "alphathresh" and "notexalpha" on the "leaf3" material (this avoids the per-frame back-to-front sorting) 2. Use "noradar" on every object except the island meshes (also, add "noradar" to your "cc...

Re: ServerList, Overcrowded?

I'm fairly sure that I've added enough access via the lua scripting to allow you to create your own server list GUI. You can use the lua HTTP.request() call to get the server list data, the OpenGL calls to render the GUI, and bz.JoinGame() to join a game. I've even included bz.SendServerPing(). Hm, ...

@diing for the team: Teleporters and links should use prefixed names, not numbers. If numbers are used, the resultant linkage will vary depending on the include order of the section files. For "blah.bzw", it doesn't much matter because it isn't properly linked anyways. Also, you're missing...

Re: Calling all Map Makers: The Collaborator 2010

Most bzflag map objects can be grouped and shifted around without any issues.

If mappers are mindful of that fact, then it should be relatively easy for them to keep the...
