Re: PillHiX Map

Gentlemen, may i make a suggestion (or two)? Remove any boxes that are in each other (like ones under bases, only keep ones near the center). In corners where flag safety boxes are (i believe that's what they are there for on Pillbox) remove original Hix boxes and replace them with Pillbox ones (wit...

Re: GU Team Practice: The Matrix

Possibly. I did try to /rewind about three times in a row. Can some Laser flags be added to the map (or TH with longer "life") to show/learn ricos? That is the easies way to show how shots will bounce off objects. Maybe even a plugin that shoots a long-life TH right before the actual shot ...

Re: 2 bombers:::concept test

Have fixed all of the issues mentioned above.
Still can't get flags to fall into wing pods. Instead they hover about 20 units above.

Re: 2 bombers:::concept test

Glad you like it so far :) When falling into the wing pods, you often get stuck. -Will look into that issue, although had not experienced it myself. However when trying to spawn GM flags there they spawn about 10-20 units above. With the "getting trapped" issue it almost sounds like there ...

Re: 2 bombers:::concept test

Update:
Got the map ready for initial play testing by the community.

Would like to add turrets to the nose sections of each aircraft, as well as GM to the 'pods' on wings, but having some issues with that right now.

(Had to do a .zip file since map file is too bit to upload directly here)

Re: Wings3D (un)triangulating every face.

Have looked at that program. Even though it shows that it has combined the triangles, for some reason in the file it shows that objects are made of more faces then they were before.

Update.

Wings3D (un)triangulating every face.

Greetings! Am using Wings 3D mostly as a converter from .obj to .bzw and have noticed that every face in the model is divided up into triangles, as if the program connected every vertex to every other vertex on came plane. Is there an easy way to un-do this? Only way i could figure out is to manuall...

Here is what it looks like so far: (note that large piece in the middle that is not textured will be wat...

Re: squads

Think of what will happen if there are many members of one "squad" on one map and noone else. There will be one team full of people, but noone for them to play against. The way it is now players can switch to different color to play in a situation like that.

Stuff happens. Some stuff we can not control. That's the way life is. Sucks that you had to delete it, i'm sure you had alot of friends there. But now you have another excuse to get on BZFlag :D

On a related note, CSG was looking for you few days ago, not sure if she found you or not.

Re: Autohunt laggy players

So I made one more change. rather than blinking the tank as if hunted, just draw a circle around each tank that would represent the area the tank possibly is by adding local and remote lags and giving the circle a radius of the max distance the tank can move in this period. I find this to be very u...

Not exactly cups or medals, but can be used as trophys for big events, like Riker's Cup: http://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=18448
