Hi folks, as you may have recognized my server had some severe jitter problems at the beginning of this year. Although the server is running stable again (since about two weeks) I have to migrate it to a new home this weekend. I don't know how long the transfer and the propagation of the new name se...

"20 or 30 min match?" - just one more point teams may disagree about. Choice is not always good. It actually may split the league and make it harder to get matches going. Option 1.

BZFlag does not send packages on a regular basis (like every 100 ms), it only sends data if there is new data to be sent, so the player has to produce some traffic to have his new lag measured. No, you do not understand how the lagstats are calculated. They are not calculated from movement and shoo...

Test42 has been added with a horizontal logo as example…is that better? Yes, that's better. But still too much space wasted for the logo. ;) I'm curious if people like brighter, darker, more colourful, less colourful. Personally I like the "Dark" theme of the old league site more than the...

Player name changes are not tracked at the moment You don't need name tracking. If you can see the bzid of a league player somewhere on the players page it's completely enough. The bzid is the only thing which cannot be changed, no matter if a player is named X or Y today. Well, displays have more ...

As far as I remember it was included because it fixed a game issue for somebody on a special platform who otherwise could not spawn in the game. I do not remember the details, neither...

Before you change your config you should check what your current fps is. Press 't' to see the fps display in the middle of your screen. Drive around on the map and watch the fps display to see what your fps range is. Only if it's outside the range blast told you it makes sense to change your configu...

Design / Layout Unfortunately all three available themes have the same problems which make them appear to be not well-thought-out. I guess there has to be done some work on the layout(s) before it could go productive. So the layout is not so important at this stage. The old GU league layout sets qu...

Sorry to hear about that. Probably a routing issue at my hoster or one of the uplinks. Unfortunately such things happen from time to time as already explained above. Luckily it's already gone away. And as far as I know none of the Barons is banned on my server.

Due to a hardware failure the hardware of my server had to be replaced today. The server is up again and hopefully will run as stable as before. Sorry for the downtime.
