Re: Can't turn right or reverse

I know had this issue before and brought it up on the IRC chat channel. It's a computer problem, as opposed to a bzflag problem.
Try resizing the window in 'windowed' view. I believe that is what worked for me.

Re: Speed CTF

So I got this map going this morning and the gameplay is very interesting. (although I only played most 1v1). It has a cool mix between hold the flag and classic CTF, so that you have to run then go CTF. I think Duc style goes perfect with this small map and more reserved defensive gameplay. Also I ...

Re: 101

Yeah Const, it all has to do with the skill:kill ratio and the time:kill ratio. Maps like Apocalypse you don't necessarily need that much skill to kill (hide in the tele with team flag) and you don't really need to be there that long to get many kills (In a 10v10 you only need to team flag geno 10 t...

Re: Terrible flickering with bzflag 2.4.2 on Gentoo

Blast is right, when I was using unity 3d desktop effects on Ubuntu I was also jittery and I only had like 8 FPS. But then when I downgraded to unity 2d graphics it was back to normal.
Also turning down my screen resolution has helped me with problems like this in the past...

Re: LAN Server

The easiest way to do that is use the `-password` command-line option. E.g: The problem is that anyone who can read logs or guess your password now has admin access. Which isn't to bad if this just a local server. What would be idle would be to use a local group, but I believe that those are obsole...

I gotta say that this map is a great improvement over your last one, like over 10 times better. Also you need to start adding an options block to you maps to add basic playablillty, unless you enjoy the default one shot, no rico, no jumping, etc. If you don't want to go through all the options yours...

The All Time highs and lows are fairly worthless because, for instance, PMAIA2's all time low i...
