Re: Starting server - Failed (exit = 2)

Ah, yes, for the old sysV init system.

Re: Starting server - Failed (exit = 2)

Ah, gotcha! Thanks blast and trpted!

systemctl showed me that bzflag.service is enabled and netstat got me the port!

Is there a way to interact with this service via config file or something? Right now I wouldn't know how to set a map on that server running...

Starting server - Failed (exit = 2)

Hey, so I wanted to start a server, first I tried it in bzflag itself, gave me the error in the title. Afterwards I tried it from the command line, gave me following: ~/.bzf/worlds$ bzfs -world ducati.bzw ERROR: Unable to start the server, perhaps one is already running?

Re: Can't cycle through player names

So it's as simple as.... It's not the keyboard, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play with it... It's not the 'type while jumping' option. It does not affect that. It's the 'active input device''. I can't cycle through player names while keyboard is active. On the other side, it's possible while driv...

Hey guys and ladies, stranger things have happened, but I can't cycle through the player names after pressing '.'

Too easy, because you'd just have to kick the flag from a certain distance to the goal, which is easy to reach for a practised player. But certainly it 'd be fun.

As everything else bzflag has it's ups and downs, too. I think, it's just part of a cycle we 're in. However, I 've the uncertain feeling that the 2teamleauge could change a lot. Of course you got to give it time, it wouldn 't change from today to tomorrow, but after a few month it could have helped...

Wasn't there another option which forces the flag to fly to the killer?

However, just wonder if there is a possibility to catch the flag in flight? I suppose not?!

Re: should BZWC become a league?

Yes, i 'd like to see it as league. And i love the PTF plug-In, especially in the 2TeamLeague. Jumpin': Yes, but no. I 'd say maybe. Jumping is a nice thing (if you can it), but also if you allow it, you got to change the map. The current randam map (ducati style) doesn't support jumping the way HiX...

Re: We want to hear from you !

To make a final word on Offtopic: Pass Flag Plug-In

I really think this Plug-In is great and supports the tactical aspect of BZFlag. But i do also think, that the Ducatileague isn't the right place for it. Call me boring, but i like Ducati as it is.
The Place-To-Be for the Plug-In is the 2TeamLeague.

Re: Where did player ethics go?

Agreed, but what do you want to do? Giving ethic-lessons? This is a shooting-game, and as usual it attracts kid's, like 10 to 15 years old, and what do these kidies know about fairness and ethics? Sure, there are exceptions, but don't be too hopeful.
