Sounds great,
ofcourse another usefull feature would be time limits

You can't make something drivethrough and then not drivethrough; AFAIK the only way to make "gates" is with world weapons. That could be done by implenting a function in the API that allows a plugin to modify parts of a map (not the map file) by using the name field. something similar to ...

how about a function to:

• change a players team
• put a player in observer

Is it possible to call functions from within a plugin which are not part of the API?
I need to do some things in my plugin which are not included in the BZFS API

thanks in advance

Dont know if you like it, but i thought lets give it a shot

thanks,
I never intented to make it look like a maze, at first I had the 2 sides seperated, but it took way to long to get to the other side, so I attached the 2 sides to each other

A 2 team CTF map with 2 bases attached to each other (it is not a maze).
No rico and jump

When using meshboxes, for some reason the textures dont behave as v.1.x boxes I have this bzw file box position -7 0 0 size 4 50 10 end meshbox position 7 0 0 size 4 50 10 end See the attached image, Left side is old box, right side is meshbox. For some reason the short side of a meshbox' texture is...

Thanks, Yeah, I limit most super flags And incase anyone is interested, here is my current list of allowed flags : ) Agility Blindness Burrow Rapid Fire Invisible Bullet Identify Jamming Jumping Laser (2 shot limit) Masquerade Narrow Quick Turn ReverseControls Right Turn Only Seer Shield Stealth Tin...

Well.. here is a screenie
I will post the map file when its done : )
no jump and no rico CTF

Would it be possible to create a server plugin which detects where the server kill originated from? Teams is possible this way, only one has to make it to the finish line.

(btw wouldn't it be annoying when using CTF if a team takes their own flag?)

being bored is the cause in my country (I wasent talking bout the riots), heck they are even making a movie about this (being bored and vandalism). But they only burnt 3 cars....

You could do finish lines by using a Physics Driver which has the death property

something like
The first one that is killed by the server wins

I said "bigger" not "big"
The underlying cause is that everyone is bored

I believe TV has a much bigger impact on "violence"
People are burning cars in my country because they are copycatting the riots in france as seen on TV

Have you checked if your computer is filled with garbage? (temp files, etc)

reminds me of the movie Hypercube ^^
Looks fun

Looks nice

A default flags.conf would be included, like this is would be even easier to change certain things then it is now. If you wanna change the burrow tank speed with the current system for example you have to dig in server variables.
Even less work then it is now if you wanna change little

I know a fair amount of programming, but the only thing I have written in C++ is hello world and some weird command line calculator. I wouldn't know where to start lol

As far as I know the current flag system has very little to customize. So I am suggesting a new flag system. My idea is to have a new configuration file (server-side) flags.conf or maybe in the world file, which contains settings about every flag and custom flags. This configuration file would be lo...

mine is based of my real name. (its not jo or j'lo im not a female ^^)
