--------You do have a point and we should allow slow mo to be assigned to a button and apply to gamepad digital axes. ----------------- Is it as simple as an allowance? Or would it require a ton of background dev work to "fix"? Besides, I'm just some anonymous player/poster here on your fo...

I see what you're saying with the mouse.

I can't do that with my USB game pad though. slow motion isn't an option AFAIK. Hopefully the devs will change that. I wouldn't imagine something like that is hard to do.

slow motion

For users who don't use the keyboard. Only the keyboard can currently be toggled for slow/normal with the A key. What about mouse users? What about joystick users? Instead of "slow keyboard motion: A" make it so that it's just "slow motion: A" (of course, the A key is the BZdefau...

the game will never have realistic physics, it is supposed to be a simple game. Real physics would mean that tanks would tilt and shots would fall. If those happen, then we have to allow the turret to aim to compensate. Then that becomes a totally different game. Tim's directive is for bzflag to re...

Can you be more specific? *EDIT* After reading the discussion and how it's progressed, I was thinking more along the lines of environment setup. Background stuff. Like for example a dense forest map. I know that the physics adds visual quality, I mean, I've seen the screenshots. I'm sure you have t...

Physics

I'm not sure how far/advanced that devs intend on taking the game, but how about added physics to the game?

For those bzflaggers who have an Ageia PhysX card or one of the ATI/Nvidia setups.

Naturally it would be controllable(on/off) via the client/server.

#1 Is a small red circle , this is a `danger spot` I don't think i'd use it, but I could see it's usefulness for those who wanted to turn it on. #2 Is a circular aim instead of spuare aim I think this is a fantastic idea. I'm sure the devs will want the square to be default, but an option for a cir...

Re: AAARGGH!!!!

Way too complicated. Any flag that needs that much description is excessive. The base issue that PZ is pretty sucky would best be solved, IMHO, by simply removing it from the next version. It doesn't have to be complicated. It could be just as simple as expanding the PZ so that it becomes it's own ...

You don't need the zone flag to remain zoned. If there were going to be special zone only flags, then their should be a 'out of zone' flag like you said to get out of the Zone world. OR just drive back through a teleporter. Thinking about this, your comments helping out a bit has gotten me thinking...

A very fitting punishment for their disloyalty to whoever might have been their team members. :-) The only problem with that is that rogues are not a team.

Yeah, I tried that. I set it to key(pad) 7 I think. Nothing.

Maybe it's flaky; only guaranteed to work with the keyboard for the time being. On some keypads it works, on some it doesn't.

Also, you use linux, windows, etc? Dunno if that would change anything or not.

slow keyboard motion

I've lately been playing BZ with a gamepad, but the slow motion button (as is usually represented by pressing the "a" key) doesn't affect anything but the keyboard. I'm not sure if this is an 'issue' per se, or if this belongs in the enhancements folder. When I wanna snipe I'm getting tire...

A favorites list would also be good. Though having four lists would bring into issue "how would that be visualized on screen?" I'm thinking tabs. Hit left and right to move through the tabs, and down and up to scroll (and if it isn't already implemented, page up and page down to scroll pa...

Perhaps everything gets old after a while, but for some maps it takes a LONG WHILE. For instance, some people (myself included) would play the silvercat maps Overlord and Babel day after day for many months.

Everything here is possible, except more than one player on a computer.

Isn't there a small colored star next to the server name to help you? Yes, there is, but that's not my point. The colored stars are actually very helpful.

When you search for servers, the list is displayed in order from those which have the most players to least by the listserver. Which is fine. But all the servers show up in one list.......... In other words, have the servers put into their own lists. CTF in one list, rabbit hunt in another list, and...

Or even better, have BZflag configurable so that you can have multip...
