Re: BZ-Next: A modern OpenGL BZFlag client

If you want to exactly match the camera position/angle between both the stock and experimental clients, there is a /roampos command in BZFlag that you could replicate in your experimental client. /roampos {reset|send|angle|x y z [theta [phi [zoom]]]} Manipulate the observer camera (only useful in Ro...

Yep, works fine on my Windows 7 system. Do you have Windows updates installed? Updated graphics driver?

Re: No shot limits

If you don't want shot limits, play on a server without shot limits. By default, there are no limits. It's something a server admin (or map author) has to specifically enable.

Re: BZFlag 2.4.26 on Windows 7 won't open

Did this work recently? Any idea what might have changed? In any case, try renaming your configuration file to see if there's some issue with it. Bring up the Run dialog (Windows Key + R) and type in %localappdata%\BZFlag\2.4\ and hit OK. Then rename config.cfg to config2.cfg and try to run the game...

Re: [Howto][Guide] Compiling BZFlag in Void Linux

Do note that they already have a binary package installed, so you don't need to compile it yourself. You could just run "sudo xbps-install bzflag" and you'd have the client and server. Their official list of build dependencies for 2.4.26 is: SDL2-devel c-ares-devel glew-devel libcurl-devel...

Re: Cannot join games with my registered account - "Callsign is registered, must use Global Authentication" error kicks

The server list and authentication is handled over a normal web connection, so maybe Zscaler is configured to only tunnel normal web traffic (and maybe some other popular protocols, such as IMAP for email clients).

I found the volcano, but it's a lua script and shader for BZFlag 2.99.x, so it wouldn't work on 2.4.

Re: BZFlag freezes

Are the other 3D applications you're trying using the old OpenGL 1.5 API? We don't yet use any shaders, so we're unlike the majority of other 3D software.

Re: need help

That editor hasn't been touched in about 12 years and was never finished. I don't recall if you can even add textures with it. For simple maps it might work, or there's also WebBZEdit . For more complex maps with custom mesh objects, you'll probably end up having to use a modeling tool such as Blend...

Re: Tank flying away ...

I've create a GitHub issue for this: https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/issues/327

I tend to recommend setting the FPS Limit somewhere between 120 or 200, or setting the Energy Saver mode to Vertical Sync instead of FPS Limit.

Unfortunately that group (MUD.ADMIN) already exists and that prefix (MUD) is thus owned by another user.

Re: Unwanted special effects - how to get rid of them

Perhaps you changed the graphics quality from High to Experimental? That would enable HUD markers for team flags and the GM lock target and also switch to using geometry for some of the shot types.

That error feels like your Ubuntu upgrade isn't 100% complete. The snap worked for me on both a virtual machine and a new install on a physical system.

Ubuntu 22.04 has a buggy version of SDL2 that broke BZFlag, and Ubuntu hasn't resolved it by either fixing SDL2 nor applying the patch to BZFlag that I provided. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzflag/+bug/1983751 I would suggest removing the version from apt and instead installing the sna...
