Re: ArenaCTF

Very cool to see this kind of CTF implemented in BZFlag. I might give it a try on one of my own maps to see how it works with the rest of BZFlag's gameplay.

Re: Flag: Disguise

That reason is pretty silly, since by the same logic we shouldn't have Stealth, Invisible Bullet, or Jamming. Really I think a version of MQ that affects radar instead of the HUD would be more useful than the regular MQ, which rarely has any impact on gameplay whatsoever.

Re: Mockup of new menu

Overall, I like the direction of this design. I don't have a strong opinion on the border, but if the menu would still work like the current one where it gets overlaid on the screen if you open it while playing, the border might help to distinguish between menu and game. Minor things: I'd suggest mo...

Re: Apocalypse In Action :: Planet MoFo

Thanks for taking care of it. That's pretty funny that the plugin doesn't bother to check if you're an admin before banning.

I was just banned for "F12 abuse" when I was actually trying to balance the teams. 🙊

Re: Eighth dimension cleanup/removal

The thing I don't like about the current look of OO is the inconsistency between driving through 1.x objects and 2.x objects. 1.x objects have the "triangles" effect, 2.x ones render the object in wireframe with no triangles. I figure the reason for not drawing the triangles is it would be...

Re: UselessGeno

Why Useless, though? Plugins can create their own flags.

Re: Spawnkill Revenge

Neat idea! I can think of a few possible modifications which may or may not improve the plugin: Don't reduce the score of the spawnkilled player. Add an optional mode where spawnkilling just reduces the killer's score rather than killing the killer (might be a better behavior on FFA maps). Perhaps a...

Re: Server Filtering (version 2)

It would be kind of neat to make the client ping all the servers in the list so they can be sorted/filtered by latency, but given how few players there are currently, I question how much that software development effort would be worth doing.
