Re: MG Glitch

I have firing actions bound to both keys and the mouse wheel. When I grab the MG flag, it starts firing automatically. When I use the mouse wheel, it switches to firing only when moving the wheel. When I tap a firing key, it starts firing automatically again. Sounds like the glitch is that the clie...

Re: Not Able To Connect To Brad

First suggestion would be trying to run a traceroute to Brad's server to possibly see if one of the jumps between you and there is down (or at least unstable).

Re: Putting HiX in perspective

Did you scale the tanks relative to the buildings or are they at normal default size? If the latter, then that would definitely add credence to the "1 world unit = 1 meter" hypothesis (although, I always assumed that to be true anyways).

Re: Mouse Wheel Acceleration on Macbook Air

From what I understand, the "Overdrive" function works by repeating extra key/button events between raw events. Programs that read the raw mouse events directly instead of the OS-level events (which - correct me if I'm wrong - includes BZFlag) will not gain any benefit from it.

Run the package downloaded from AMD anyway - Microsoft is (or at least for a very very long time, was) notorious for removing the OpenGL component on the drivers you get from them, leaving you with only the generic software emulation. The download from AMD should reinstate OpenGL hardware accelerati...

Re: Machine Gun Shooting Distance

Were you spraying (turning to one side or another while firing) or holding to a straight line? Was your opponent spraying or holding to a straight line? For some reason, range and hit probability go down almost exponentially on BK's if you happen to be turning while firing MG.

1) This is a new discussion and should be started in a new thread in the "Servers: Help" section.

2) What are you putting on the command line when you start the bzfs executable?

Okay, so I went roaming around on this map yesterday (alone, unfortunately), and I still stand by my original evaluation. I strongly suspect at this point that the evaluation will continue to stand even when full.

This map actually looks quite good - both aesthetically and in terms of gameplay. The terrain is broken up enough that there's plenty of opportunity to dogfight, and the strategic structures look to be open enough that there's really no advantage to over-defensive concentration of your forces in-bas...

I agree with removing. Then again, I've never looked at the flag options block when browsing servers anyways (except on occasion to see if the map carries Bad Flags).

Re: Issues Installing 2.4.0 on Ubuntu 10.04

Just from a cursory glance of your .configure output, it seems you're having an issue compiling the player client? That's the only thing I'm seeing not being made, and it appears to be because the script isn't detecting OpenGL support...?
