Official forums for BZFlag.org

Thats awesome, I can just see them charging through the door towards the computers :) You could test some of the servers to see if they are using the swear filter and "herd" the kids towards those if they play online. I do recall seeing a couple of servers in the list advertised as "f...

Hi all, I am experimenting with a server running Ubuntu Linux. It's only 233 MHz, so you might want to take that into consideration. 233mhz is plenty for bzfs, even with a full compliment of players it should be fine... My problem is that when a new player joins, when he spawns all existing players...

you can try ./configure --without-SDL
other than that i dont know of many people on 64bit systems, if that has in fact anything to do with your problem.

You might want to try in #bzflag on freenode to see if the irc monkeys have any advice

good luck!

if you have the gimp, you can do it with the Aquire>Screenshot part of the main menu. if you have Image magick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php you can do it from the command line. Open a terminal and type import -window root screenshot.png that will grap the whole screen, import screensh...

Ok, to keep this thread from becoming just another "trolling each others OS thread...." :) for a large computer display you want the 2405FPW 1920x1200 pure DVI goodness. This is the display I will be geting soon. They are lovely, bz is great to play on it but more importantly the there is ...

MSVC's "Find in all files"

how do you do this from vim? anyone know?

thats a good idea..

EDIT: its now in cvs

just for you carny

Can you guys try to go to irc.freenode.net #bzflag and ask in there?

You might find some linuxy types in there who can help, some of them also
run Fedora

I think it uses sudo with no root password set. Open a terminal window, there should be an icon for terminals on the taskbar type sudo passwd and it will prompt you for a new root password , enter anything you like, two times, and then try installing your program again. You might try #knoppix on fre...

Its to do with the number of player slots you define,

try adding this:
so -mp rogue,red,green,blue,purple,observer
-mp 0,4,4,0,0,5 will give you 4 red, 4 green and 5 observers.

there were a few people poping in and out..but less than I hoped for. At least people are aware of the development version and hopefully will use it more often.

what about the ability to flip the radar with the "out the window" view? possible?

I did not know that this was something that the general public was able to get in on. I was thinking it was just a special club. :oops: I am in... Nope, the more people that try out the cvs version the better. So by friday I or patlabor221 will post a link for the windows build for those of you una...

post whats in the vars file

Trepan, we can all download what ever you tell us that you want to be tested (an hopefully compile it too )
But yes, the same client version would be good.

I will look at how to record games, I havent done that yet.

red baron, i dont know how to compile on windows, so i cant help you there.

Thanks Patlabor221 Red Baron if you do not have those compiling tools you can still just use the above posted exe. Do you guys feel friday evening is ok? Thats eveneing time for us in North America, and night time for the European players If its early evening for us then its not too late for the Eur...

Currenty, the number of active developers in the Bzflag project is quite small, lets say around 10 people plus or minus. This makes it hard to implement all the new features people ask for while at the same time try to fix existing bugs. Many players can help simply by installing a cvs client and jo...

# advertise this server with the given address and port
-publicaddr derfaust.myftp.org:555

# port
-p 5155

looks like you forgot a 1?

can you post the command or config file you are using?

I had problems with idesk when i used tabs instead of spaces
when I edited them, sorry thats not much help, but idesk is really fussy about that stuff.

also have alook at
http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/fbdesk/

alot of fb users choose flbdesk over idesk

good luck!

hey ski, I just noticed you joined our team

I dont play very much bz anymore so Im glad we have another
active player. Welcome!

are you using alsa? if so you need OSS emulation enabled I think, I dont use alsa yet, and my default dev is /dev/dsp

btw, it *should* be able to play sounds from mulitple devices at the same time, bz, xmms etc

what distro/kernel are you using?

I had edited it in bzedit, and i guess I messed it up, the original
bases extended into the buildings, so when I spawned some
times the server spawned me inside a building.

Thats why I made tthe bases smaller. Anyhow, it seems to be fixed now, thanks.

it is all rogue now
