in my case this relates to playing CTF and the fact it's a team effort. when i play as ST, i often use it for ambush tactics rather than just being able to sneak in to the enemy base undetected, and some of my ambush spots are carefully selected. for this reason, there are times where i have an easy...

while playing on "delerious city" a-delusion.no-ip.org:4120 i did a "save world". i tried it on my local machine because it was an interesting map, but it refuses to load, i keep getting a bunch of errors and it dumps out. bash-3.1$ ./bzlocal using spam time of 10 using spam warn...

i'm running slackware 13.0, and before a hard drive crash, i was having marginal jitter issues. in other words, usually i had very little jitter, but occasionally it would get me bumped from a game. i noticed the jitter was worse when there were a lot of players, and a lot of shooting was going on a...

the bots DO have a nasty habit of firing where i'm going to land when i jump...

nice... just spent a couple of hours in single player mode to get the feel of it... got my tank electrocuted once and melted once. i didn't know you could have hazards like that.... certainly a very interesting map....

tnx for the info.... i think the practice will help, even if it is against bots... i've played a few bot games and learned a few ways to dodge incoming rounds and bracket my shots, but as far as a jumping game goes, it's too bad the bots don't jump... oh well practice is practice, and it does seem t...

1> when using GM, why can't i get a lock on something except once in a while, even though an enemy is in plain view and close? 2> often when i do get a lock, it's on a friendly off to the side. 3> what is there to do about spawnkillers that just sit and fire blindly into a spawn site.... it's kinda ...
