Re: Retiring

Sad to hear this but don't be a stranger - it's good to re-read a book once in a while, or even just dip into your favourite chapters

Re: 101 EP

Yep, I bailed out when you hit 98, so that my score last night would not be immortalised here - a trick learned from Mana. ;o)
Again, well played!

Re: Auto -re-/set defaults on first player join

Many thx for the pointers. I've just suggested it to one owner where a problem occurred recently.

/poll set can be fun & educational sometimes, but yes, should probably be concsiously enabled by an owner.

Auto -re-/set defaults on first player join

I arrived at a map earlier where players and admin were trying to fix some server variables that appear to have been adjusted earlier through a poll. It occurred to me that when a first player joins (or last player leaves) a map, the server could automatically set all variables back to their default...

BZFlag IRL

Well, it may not actually be BZFlag in real life, but last weekend I got to see an event which I believe may be the closest thing to it. The 2019 International Army Games Tank Biathlon final. It was a most extraordinary day out! Another player suggested I post about it, so here's a quick intro for a...

Re: voteRepeatTime mechanism

tainn & Zehra. Thanks for your viewpoints. Having had this idea I just wanted to put it forward, as I had imagined it might be a very quick/simple change at a single decision point in the code. I am immensely grateful to the hosts, developers and admins that keep BZ going for the community and d...

Re: voteRepeatTime mechanism

I guess I'm suggesting it because I've quite regularly experienced relevant situations at times/maps that cops are not present. I'm loathed to hit a /report to bother an @ who's not presently in a game (and possibly can't attend to issue before it's long gone anyway). (If @s are there, then problems...

voteRepeatTime mechanism

I understand that the voteRepeatTime server variable exists so that it can be set to a value high enough to prevent abuse of the polling system during play. But I also notice that on many servers, it is set (by default?) to a value which is significantly higher than (these days) a "problem play...

Re: Mockup of new menu

Hi. Just mentioning that I like the direction this seems to be taking so far on aesthetics. Overall, I don't think thare are too many options on menus and the general structuring seems OK. If I think back to when I started, the Join Game menu was probably the most confusing. Perhaps more intuitive m...

Re: Colorblindness support; we need your help

Sounds good! I'm not colourblind, but sometimes struggle (seemingly more than most) to identify some team flags on radar (Enhanced radar running on low opacity). This seems to affect me most for Green flag, next Blue. It can be fun searching for team flags, but to me there is some disparity between ...

Re: Can't cycle through player names

Many thanks. I'm a keyboard player and this was bothering me for ages and I just got around to seeking the cause (and found this thread). I'd worked around by locking on to a player before going into PM. Need "Active input device" as Mouse and player names can be cycled fine with left/righ...
