Mottos are shown by default when the scoreboard is shown. You can adjust the maximum display length of mottos in the options.

Ok.

How long should I make the Motto shown in options? Currently set to 0 (lowest possible setting).

Thanks

The motto is the text after peoples' names on the scoreboard. #1 Which let me guess, is client side settings. #2 Has it or could be ever been wrong? My concern would be that the join message would be providing incorrect data, but I have not been able to confirm this yet. bz_sendTextMessagef(BZ_SERV...

Why do I have to join another service dealing with BZflag?

Please and thank you

I must be missing something. How do I get to see that field?

Please and thank you

There are fun matches and an Official matches. When user connects to the server the user is told by the server that there is a fun match or an official match going on. How ever during an official match, the user is not told this by the server until the end of the game: What teams are playing and whi...

BZflag is not one of the best games of the Net as noted at https://sportsshow.net/top-10-popular-online-games/ I am pretty sure that it was while ago, so please change from Enhancements Make suggestions for improving one of the best games on the net! to Enhancements Make suggestions for improving th...

Not sure how much that is an issue, but I * Sign * / Nods head in agreement / +1

While i do not create maps instead only editing them by hand, +1.

#1 Confirmed that you are missing that option. #2 Unknown for sure what the fix is, so I am Guessing possible fixes.. --- #1 To use the config file? As as example shot length. In the GUI shot length is more limited than what is in the config file. #2 Download and compile from source code? As as exam...

Thank you, solved.

When using the filter feature searching for servers with players or obs on them ( /op>0/p>0 ) I see that outdated is listed with 200 users on it. Is there a way to show servers with players or obs on them but not outdated, as: #1 I am not outdated. It suggest version 2.4.4 and higher and I am on 2.4...

I can only see screen shot(s) from the videos. If I try to play them all I get back is "no video with supported format and mine type found" in FIrefox 66.0.2 (32-bit) on the most up to date LTS Lubuntu. Here's a shot in the dark, but if you view the homepage in Incognito or Private mode in Firefox,...

Works for me with Firefox on both 32-bit Lubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Would it better to, ask elsewhere? and if so, where a general Unix/Linux or a **buntu board? In the meantime as I wait a reply, how about: #1 Putting the videos on YouTube (if they are not already on there). #2 And then posting a lin...

Cool :) I am not sure of where this goes, but if I posted in the wrong area - please tell a mod/an admin to split and move it to the right area. If I posted on the wrong website with message board, please tell me. I can only see screen shot(s) from the videos. If I try to play them all I get back is...

I am not sure, but I believe this/these help. https://zehrahblog.wordpress.com/2018/04/09/no-darkness-in-buildings/ https://zehrahblog.wordpress.com/2018/04/06/removing-weird-effects-from-oo/ Note: For this second link, I commented out from const std::vector<const Obstacle*>& list = myTank->getInsid...

#1 I heard/read in https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=20163 that The client never receives the actual world file. Only the server has all of the map file information.

The client never receives the actual world file. Only the server has all of the map file information. The client's save world feature recreates a BZW file from the binary object data that the client receives from the server, so it will not match the original map file. Additionally, it won't know ab...

Yes, you guy/gals misundstand. Try this. #1 Connect to bzflag.ahs3.org:5555. As need be, find it with /mapchange #2 If no one is there, press n or m and issue the command /mapchange kingring #3 Go to Options -> Save World . Then save the file to your HD. #4 Now that you have the file on your HD, joi...

I see at http://bzstats.strayer.de/servers/stats/?serverid=44826&lang=en that ahs3 is the owner of that server. Now, I have to ask how does he/she/they/you do that? For example at https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=12575 and at https://wiki.bzflag.org/Koth they both have the keyword koth...

I'm somewhat busy at the moment with current projects and requests, but would be able help create either a plug-in or the client/server modifications needed at a later time. At the moment, I would be able to offer some guidance on where to look and what to do as well, if that alternative is viable....

1. The tutorial is for 2.x, so it would not work for 2.4.x, but some things can still be referenced from it. 2. I'm assuming it would be four and is likely hard coded. 3. Depends on a number of factors. 4. A simple fork is easy and even trivial, but having a fork which is modified will vary on the ...

So, if I were fork BZFlag.. #1 I (or someone else) would also have to setup a private list server, that is public REF = https://wiki.bzflag.org/Private_List_Server ? #2 While I get that the protocol would have to be changed, what is the limit on characters? For example at http://my.bzflag.org/db/ I ...

At https://wiki.bzflag.org/Public_Server it talks about the Authentication Key and a link to http://my.bzflag.org/listkeys/ #1 While I get that the protocol will have to changed, would the modified server need the Authentication Key? Last time that I checked at http://my.bzflag.org/listkeys/ it said...

Why would you even want that? If you want to balance or imbalance flag potency, you can do it already by adjusting server variables respective to the flags in question and keeping the idea of a single shot killing a tank. Because there are games you do not kill the other player's tank with a single...
