Personal stats shouldn't matter in CTF - I'd like a way to turn off kill points altogether.

It's in the man page (although not very detailed). It's a new map object. You write it like this: weapon name example_weapon position 0.0 0.0 0.0 rotation 0.0 initdelay 10.0 delay 10.0 3.0 5.0 3.0 type V end initdelay is the delay from the server starts until the weapon starts firing, delay is a seq...

I just tested, I get ~300K/s from most of the US servers. Switch is much better though, more than twice as fast. Could have something to do with the fact that I live in Europe. :D

I wish sunet.se would have an SF mirror.

I think the problem is that the background isn't shaded when you're in the menu as it used to be in earlier versions. I'm not sure why it isn't.

Yes, it's delayed. We were mostly ready to release a few days ago, but then the CVS server on SourceForge went down for unscheduled maintenance so we couldn't do the last commits and release preparations. Now CVS is working again, but very slow. Hopefully we will get a release in the not-too-far fut...

You need to set the Content-Type header. Konqueror just displays junk text, and when I telnet to the server and GET the script it says "Content-Type: text/html". If I save the file and open it with an image viewer it works.

Or, if you don't mind the students seeing the server list but just don't want them to connect to any other server, go to the function joinGame() in playing.cxx (line 5698 in the current CVS version) and add these lines before the rest of the function body: strcpy(startupInfo.serverName, "my.bzf...

Remove the "-list" option in bzflag.cxx, change DefaultListServerURL in Protocol.h to an empty string, and make sure that the list server url isn't read from the config file. You will also have to make the "Server" field in the "Join Game" menu uneditable, or your stude...

The current CVS code for Linux-bzedit works for me. I used these commands to build it:

Code: Select all

aclocal
automake -a
autoconf
./configure --with-gl-prefix=/usr/X11R6
make
The Linux version hasn't been updated in a while though, so it doesn't know about the new map stuff.

24 ms lag. Very nice.

1.10.0 is buggy though, it might be worth it to upgrade to a newer version.

BZFlag does not use ALSA natively, you need the OSS emulation layer (the modules sussudio mentioned). If it doesn't work, I'm not sure what's wrong. Do you have a soundserver blocking your soundcard? Some cards don't support multiple open channels in the hardware, and then ALSA won't support that ei...

This has hopefully been fixed in CVS now, and the fix will be in the 1.10.2 release although Xmission will probably have the fix sooner since it uses CVS code. It's a server bug, so there's no need to upgrade the client (but there are other reasons to upgrade the client when 1.10.2 comes).

Yes, write the 'set' commands in a file just as you would write them in the client but without the '/', one command per line, and use the command line option -vars <VARSFILE>.

The spawn code in the server is located at bzfs.cxx:2852.

The current code does not do a very good job of fi...

Almost all game settings that can be changed at runtime without breaking the game will be changable at runtime in the new version, including GM lifetime, SW size, tank speed, shot speed, jump height etc. So yes, an idiot admin can tune the server to his own advantage, but I think that was the case w...
