Re: No sound Ubuntu11 64-bit bzflag 2.4 install

at this point you should try sdl-config --cflags --libs your output should look something like this: -I/usr/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -L/usr/lib -lSDL If it does then you might do a make distclean and then ./autogen.sh I can't remember if bzflags autogen will also run configure or not...

Have you tried deleting your .bzf/config.cfg file? sometimes that helps weird issues. Although in mine the only option for sound is the volume. You could have a look at that file, search for volume and see if it is set to some value. Mine looks like this: #set volume 10 it is commented out meaning i...

try dpkg -l | grep -i sdl | awk '{print $2}' this will print out all the sdl libs you have installed. if you have all you need, re-configure and try again. This is what I have on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit LTS libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net...

Re: Can't drive on a meshbox... only if I jump over it

one thing I would suggest is that you clean up those floating point numbers. I don't think it will help in this case but I don't know what the rest of your map looks like. Numbers like -286.399994 would be better as -286.40. I have noticed this with mesh maps that I have built. I limited modeltool's...

Re: Arc and box, same Z axis height, same parameters size he

It's called 'z fighting' when two overlapped textures at the same height flicker like that. With each frame one or the other may appear to be on top. I"m not sure better calculations will correct that issue. Usually pi is not calculated by the machine, but rather defined as a specific value by ...

Re: Radar and Other Problems

As for #1, the issue is that the devs decided to render the mesh as a single object in the radar. It used to be rendered per poly. The only way to make the terrain mesh have dimension in the radar is to use 'fast' or 'fast sorted' radar. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2100901&am...

_fogNoSky will do what it says. Fog is not draw on the sky. I've used it in several maps, makes for interesting environmental effects.
-set _fogNoSky 1 in your map config will turn off fog drawing on the sky. The default is fog everywhere.

Re: Ground XYZ and scale issues

For the record: Wings3D and blender both use the Y axis as the vertical up axis, whereas BZFlag uses Z . Actually blender uses the Z axis as the vertical up axis. Also you can apply tranforms to imported models and correct for any rotations that occur as part of the import process. When I export my...

Re: Ground XYZ and scale issues

In blender or wings3d just create the model you want. The coords will be fine. The units for scaling are similar. One unit in blender is one unit in BZFlag. If you want a box 100x100x100 then scale it to 100x100x100 in wings3d or blender. The object should be centered and sitting on the ground plane...

Re: anim8or converting issues

It sounds like your map isn't level. in other words, the flat parts of your map aren't flat. The Z coords are not exactly the same. I have had this issue before. One cause is the export function generating numbers like 2.614e-14 instead of 0.000. ( my fix is to have modeltool round the numbers to 3 ...

Re: need help: bzfs deb package and plugin

I usually do a "make install-strip". Most of us don't need to run the debug version. That will take bzflag down to about 2.4 Megs and bzfs to about 1.7 Megs. I don't build bzadmin so I don't know about that.

Most modems (cable or ADSL) have some router functionality. To use a router behind a modem you really should put the modem in bridge mode, although you don't HAVE to. If there is anyway to get off that USB connection and use ethernet you should. USB networking can be slow and buggy.
