Thanks a lot,
I found them on synaptic. Everything works great now.

wow ubuntu has like 2 jillion ways to install something and tons of versions. I just found a libcurl with headers and dev stuff. so now it passes the curl stuff. ARGH! but theres no SDL curses of client binary!

Thanks for your reply, Reintalling did not help. I think it could have something to do with the ./autogen.sh thing becuase originally I had to install each autoconf thing one by one untill it stoped yelling at me. here is what autogen.sh does now. Found GNU Autoconf version 2.59 Found GNU Automake v...

Hello, I just switched from fedora to Ubuntu linux. I am trying to compile bzflag and the server stuff but the ./configure file does not find libcurl. Any ideas? checking for curl >= 7.10.0... ./configure: line 19763: curl-config: command not found FAILED configure: WARNING: curl-config was not foun...

Does anyone know why some teleporters only work if you jump through them? This is driving me insane . Why can't a tele work by just driving into it?

ok im on linux and I did not eat breakfast this morning. Can some give me the 2 commands to get 2.0.5 from CVS? I don't know were to stick the -R v2_0branch thing in the Anonymous CVS Access thing.
Thanks

Merry xmass! Mr problem is that bzfs does not do anything after I run it. I have to ports forwarded on my firewall and on the router. I also have tried this with the same results with 2.0.4 and the lastest CVS. Here is what my conf says -publicaddr slugkilla.game-host.org:5154 -public "blah&quo...

Also I found this on my router websettings thingy. But it does not have the underscores. The ip is my pc's ip; I don't know if this has anything to do with it. # ___Enable __Service Name___Start Port____ End Port_Server IP Address 1__________________bzflag_______5154______5156_______192.168.0.4

Thanks for the quick reply. I have a router that feeds(or whatever you call it) two computers. The computer that is also connected to the router is running windows with a freshly installed copy on Norton anti-virus. Could this evil Norton thing be blocking the out going stuff from my Linux computer ...

Hey everybody, After I had been using 2.0.4 for a little bit, I had to shut my server down for a few days. When I started my server back up bzfs gave me an error.<br> Here it is<br><br> CURLOPT_URL is : http://my.BZFlag.org/db/ Queuing ADD message to list server File transfer terminated with error f...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew how i could figure out how big something in Wings3d will be in bzflag. usually, I have to make my object huge just to see it on my server. I would like to use Wings3d's grid as the boarder of an average sized map. I'm using the direct bzw plugin thingy. I...

Hello again, i went on the IRC and got the answer. Yea! All i needed to do was upgrade the firmware on my router. Thanks for replying.<br> Oh yeah, me1, thats just creepy u know that...

Hello, I'm running BZFS 2.0.2 and for an unknown (at least to me..) reason some tanks are unkillable. And seriously no one can kill them. Its not lag and its not cheating. the only way to fix the problem is to have the player rejoin multiple times. I hope some of you can help me with this problem.<b...

Hello, I have a little problem with BZFED. After compiling it, I can run it and all but everything is white and it is hard to tell the difference in every thing. I think the ground should be green and the buildings should be textured also. I know this is a 3rd party application but maybe some of u c...
