Howdy all! I might have some time to dust this off if there is interest. Also if anyone would be interested in hosting it to get some user feedback. :D Zehra had some interesting suggestions, & reminded me that sometimes lag/jitter combined with what I do to take and assign flags could cause pla...

This emulates "GunGame" from CS and GoldenEye Source style of play. It's very simple, but I think it's fun - especially with different skill level players on the same server. This plugin changes how flags work - players don't pick them up or drop them anymore. All players start out with La...

Optic Delusion is awesomely hosting this plugin over at planet mofo while any remaining kinks are hopefully ironed out. It more or less works, and I think it pairs well on the "passion of the FFA" map. It's online *sometimes*. Search for "mofo" in the servers list (use '/' to se...

as you probably know, it works.

thanks!

This would be a simple plugin, so I'm wondering if it already exists (or something better). A "taunting" plugin would detect specific in-game events or sequences, send out a little message to everyone and play custom sounds (discovered at load time in certain directories) (allowing people ...

That sounds fun, especially with vertical shot velocity. I wonder if there is a server running like that somewhere and if that required any plugin or just setting options. What I really want though is actual down/up reversal -- world is redrawn upside down, tanks flip and fall to what was the ceilin...

I think bzflag is great - thanks to all the devs. :D Has anyone considered changing gravity with flags? The easiest idea would be changing the amount of world gravity via a flag. From there the idea probably gets very difficult to implement. Next most complicated would be a flag that lets tanks chan...

Oh so THAT'S what PZ is good for!!!

EDIT: I'll also totally use this to make the end flag (SteamRoller) have a "disabled" gun. Closer to "knife" of traditional GunGame end weaponry.

Thanks again! Progressive flags sounds similar. I currently catch any drop event and re-give the flag if they're alive. It is possible though for a person to drop/fire/drop/fire/drop/fire really quickly and sometimes squeak a normal shot through before the re-give happens. I'm not sure I can fix tha...

I was hoping to make this somewhat map agnostic. Is it common practice in these cases to distribute the map as well, or just a snippet to insert in the .bzw file? I'll also probably distribute the .conf file - it contains the "correct flags" so that they're guaranteed to be available in-ga...

I've got an alpha-stage plugin which emulates "GunGame" from CS and GoldenEye Source style of play. It's very simple, but I think it's fun - especially with different skill level players on the same server. This plugin changes how flags work - players don't pick them up or drop them anymor...
