Official forums for BZFlag.org

BZFlag's now 2.0.8 on gentoo and it runs from chroot, except no sound, but I'm sure I can fix that. Emerge normally gets everything down pretty well, w/ automatic patches and everything.

edit--
yep, forgot to mount dev. /me bangs head. Now it works.

I swear all my shots go through people. I havn't killed a single person w/ 2.0.8 nor the cvs. People say I'm not shooting, so I guess it's not registering on the server or something. Bots dont even evade shots -- they let them go right through! I havn't been playing bzflag recently so the version ju...

I am connected directally to the Internet and it still doesn't work. Not on the list server. Cant globally register I can connect to it perfectally fine at 1veedo.homelinux.com:5155. Yet it kicks me if I'm logging in as 1veedo cause, "This callsign is registered." Player 1veedo [0] removed...

Yeah, probably. Normally it fixes itself though, with a restart, so I thought something might be wrong. I wonder if there's a way for this computer to be a sort of router. Just two seconds ago I saw this, so I guess it kind of works. Except that it seems to have stoped, again. ... Queuing ADD messag...

Every now and then my router craps out and stops looking up hostnames. The Internet works you just have to know IPs off the top of your head. Anyway, the other day this came up.

If you get the time out just let it keep going. That happened for a while maybe yesterday and I think it affected all servers. It just took an extra minuit to come up if you re/started a server.

The moral is dont use windows.

No joke, this is a perfect example.

The bzflag server comes with the client as well as bzadmin.

Although they kidn of lag around, I like the mofo servers cause they dont use censorship. I just dont get why half the servers employ "kid-friendly" rules. Big deal.

What do you mean? You get 55 points by killing w/ geno and nobody else things so or you are killed 55 times by geno and your score doesnt go down?

Are there any textures? It would be cool to put some grass on the sides and spoof up the bridge.

Just run bzflag in another X server. xinit -- :1

I dont think the difference should be so small. You said

these should not be seen as fair by the plugin:
1v2
2v3
2v4
3v5
8v10
17v21

8 v 10 really isn't that unfair. 7 v 10 I would say is. But I guess if people disagree they can just modify it themselves.

Great job, though!

What's so hard about posting a screenshot? If bzbb doesnt let you just host it someware.

This should do the trick src/bzfs/bzfs.cxx static void doStuffOnPlayer(GameKeeper::Player &playerData) { int p = playerData.getIndex(); // kick idle players if (clOptions->idlekickthresh > 0) { if ((playerData.player.isTooMuchIdling(clOptions->idlekickthresh)) && (!playerData.accessInfo....

Two Rivers has errors too...

There are trees in the map objects forum. Just get one of those.

I made the mistake when I was a new map maker of making all kinds of complicated stuff that although I thought was cool, drastically took away from the game play. Simpler is better. There's no need to make half the map out of reach unless you jump 5 times.

Heh, make the "ground" grass so you dont have to look at the ugly box top. (and add noradar as somebody's suggested)

I think it's funny when noobs shoot themselves. Especially when nobody's on for them to shoot.

"Blew myself up"

Well yeah, I do realize that. But one player doesn't add a lot of data to be transfered.

Heh, ok this doesn't work. You need if ([0], [1]. [2] etc and it has segmation faults. I've tried some other things but I'm just going to give up on this. bzadmin should be able to log on as rogue w/ an email string "place holder." It's finals wekk but when I get that done I'll post it for...

I absolutely love the idea of a mars map. But from the screen shots and playing the map, this isn't very good, at all. No offence and good effort. I really like the dome idea but CTF on x by 10 planks? Maybe if you moved the basses to the bottom level (or at least make them able to get to w/o wings)...

Wouldn't it be easier to run

bzfs ... &> logfile?

Yeah uh, go 404! I love the font Forbidden is written in! I don't know how you guys see a diference in number 27 though: It looks exactally the same to me! It might look cooler if you unattalisized "Apache/1.3.27 Server at bzflag.saturos.de Port 80" and made it small instead.
