Official forums for BZFlag.org

From the https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20389 author, they edited/modded a map. I am not sure if and when they are going to release it and the License it will have, but is Hix not only with their bots, they edited/modded so that only pyramid capture is possible. You can not use any ot...

Oh rats, thank you.

That worked, thank you.

REFs https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.bzflag.BZFlag https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/ I tried to do that. While it worked and there is sound, but there is an issue I got version 2.4.18 instead of the most recent version. Unless I did something wrong, please fix this please. Please and thank you

Ok.

#1 How do I know it is a bug with the version of SDL2 is packaged with my Lubuntu?

#2 I tried to run bzflag with src/bzflag/bzflag from the root source and I got the same result.

I tried that but now user@pc-name:~/Downloads/bzflag/bzflag-2.4.20/src/bzflag$ /home/user/Downloads/bzflag/bzflag-2.4.20/src/bzflag/bzflag dbus[32505]: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "path != NULL" failed in file ../../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 1362. This is ...

#1 Does the version string show -SDL or -SDL2 at the end? While I know how to get the version, how do I get that string to show? Because all it shows is BZFlag client 2.4.18.20200423-MAINT-linux-gnu (protocol 0221) http://BZFlag.org/ Copyright (c) 1993-2018 Tim Riker #2 What operating system is this...

I downloaded and Compiled the source code but one issue. No sound at all.

At Settings -> Audio Settings, it reports back for sound volume Unavailable.

Any ideas?

Also please tell me if you need the output from the commands that is/are used to make from source code.

Please and thank you.

Thanks looks good.

I will submit any missing plug-ins.

While I am slightly uncertain if this is the same issue, the same type of "problem" has occurred from time to time. #1 Why does it happen? #2 Will it by fixed (if was not fixed already in a newer version) and any ideas of how soon? When this occurs, generally simply "refreshing" the list may solve ...

No I am not running or connected via VPN. Unknown of the times that I play how often, but I got more info about it. i am using the current data from http://www.bzstats.strayer.de/players/stats/?name=trpted&lang=en at the data and time of this posting. From that URL 10 Last player sessions Last Seen ...

Here is/are my two cents. On date and time of posting, there is/are a total of 184 publicly listed servers. Out of those (again correct on date and time of posted), with these stats: Number of servers with players = 40 Number of servers with OBS = 7 Number of servers with CTF's = 117 Number of serve...

FYI, trpted, there are keys to turn off the display of flags on radar (h) and in the 3D view (j). You don't have to remove them from the map.

While that is true, for me it was easier for testing reasons to remove/disable them vs pressing keys within bzflag.

While waiting for a reply, guessing what is so top secret Classified in/about on this map is. Notes #1 I changed the max players per team from what they had to -mp 2,2,2,2,2,2 so that each of the spawning tanks can be seen. #2 And I put a pound sign in front of each type of flag. for example from +f...

While I said what I said above: For the Unix/Linux/BSD computer OS, there are Live distros that exist. By Live distro REF = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD A live CD (also live DVD, live disc, or live operating system) is a complete bootable computer installation including operating system whi...

I see exactly what you mean on my Windows 10 computer. :( Step 1 of 2. #1 With-in Windows 10, find BZFlag. #2 In it, select the bzfs (server) Manual pages HTML . #3 Read it. Stated reason(s) include but not limited to: #1 because bzfs, is the exact server #2 and will gives to you a lot more options/...

While we see the map and can download it our selves, it help that you describe the map so that people know more info about it before downloading it.

Like for example: It is a map of the CIA building.

I am glad that you got your server issue fixed.

However when after I pressed O: /lagstats worked

and /report, /clientquery, /flaghistory and /idlestats failed:

Note I did not try to log-in as admin.

Based upon your post(s) and the post of others (like tainn's last post in this thread) I suspect it issue is with the public key. It is a good idea to request a new key for that new host.

Regardless if that does or does not solve the issue, please post.

Thank you

#1 At https://wiki.bzflag.org/Public_Server it says Authentication Key To add your server to the list server you are first required to obtain an Authentication Key. This key links your account with being the owner of that domain, and you will have to provide that key in the Config File in order to s...

Then, to put things clear: you play some time on any server, you leave it (by "leave", "quit" or F12) and, then, you can't see anymore the servers list, right? I just leave the server. The program remains open. Not sure if the details are after leaving the server: #1 I just leave it at the Join Gam...

* Bump update * Again I tested but this time, used another computer as a server and connected by LAN IP Address. The result = The same. I wonder how many more clients it takes to reproduce the issue? Because I am unless mistaken only the server talks to the clients.. OR if it takes certain map(s)? O...

In the meantime while waiting for a reply, I did a test. #1 Started a local server, by command line or script (like bash / shell script ). #2 Told my computer to connect to localhost. #3 Had bots and autopolit (sp?) enabled. #4 While it worked like a charm, I could not reproduce the sysdrome (sp?) /...
