I do want to look into it further, but I haven't taken the time yet. Some tasks for a Steam release: Better game controller support: Our default configuration does not have any game controller mappings, so using a controller requires mapping every button. I'd want to switch to SDL's GameController A...

I don't know if anyone has ever tried.

You could uninstall the game for a bit. The configuration directory won't get removed, so when you reinstall it all your settings will still be there.

No, nothing changed.

If that map was never released under a license or agreement that allowed it to be hosted, it can only be hosted by the copyright holder of the map.

I imagine that would be difficult, since there's no guarantee that a flag will be available to give at the time of death. I don't recall if the API can give a player a flag that is currently falling or (de)spawning, and randomized flags can lead to a specific type being unavailable at times.

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...

Done.

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

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.

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...

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...

What's wrong with the scoring?

How did you install the game and how are you launching it?

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'll message you so we can troubleshoot.

"It seems to me from testing that T-Mobile's 464XLAT implementation has recently been changed to block UDP. To bypass the problem if you change your phone/hotspot's APN (Access Point Name) to use IPv4/IPv6 instad of just IPv6, then UDP starts working on 5G (and LTE)." https://community.t-m...

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.

On Linux: ~/.bzf/worlds/ (where ~ is your home directory) On Windows: c:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\BZFlag\worlds\ (Note that AppData is a hidden folder. There is a "Browse User Data" shortcut in the start menu that might work to get you there.) On mac: ~/Library/Application Support/...

You can use already silence unregistered players in your client if you're using 2.4.12 or newer. In chat, send: /silence -

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.

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...

I wonder if it's some issue with thermals. What if you set the Energy Saver option to Limit FPS?

Does it work differently if windowed? (Press F1 to toggle)

I'm assuming this is a hackintosh, correct?
