request: different sounds "you are rabbit" / &quo

I was fooling around with hunt mode in rabbit hunt and it made the same sound as "you are rabbit" so I let loose with my L on some teammmates hehe. It would be nice if there was a different sound for hunt mode. If anyone has a nice free sound file maybe you could post it here as a suggetio...

(as long as the shot is moving horizontal and not vertical when it's intended rico hits the person then it's fine... shots hitting you from below or above should stay out... confuses, frustrates players when they get hit) pyramid ricos are great. So what if it confuses or frustrates. I believe that...

As described this sounds pretty harmless because you could always just draw a line on your monitor with a felt pen to get the same effect. Part of the line is already there anyway.

I don't think the way you turn it on really matters.

I try to always watch when someone drops a good flag so I can see where it respawns.

Lately it seems I have been picking up different flags more than usual. Has the flag-respawn behavior changed in recent versions?

I could easily be imagining this....

can "bzadmin -ui stdboth" send to admin channel?

I am working on a bzadmin bot which is just a perl wrapper to bzadmin -ui stdboth. I'd like to have it talk on the admin channel, but I can't figure out how to do it (I can't use the arrow keys because that is not part of -ui stdboth). Is there a command I am missing?

I disagree that it opens up a ton of holes and special cases.There are only 12 cases to consider if we want to just restrict people carrying flags of teams which they outnumber. Anyway, you will end up with 16 cases to consider if you want to make behavior predictable for 4 teams, instead of just co...

CTF is disabled for all teams. It wouldn't be fair otherwise. Uneven teams are intrinsically unfair. Even if you take the flags out of the picture. So denying caps for both teams really doesn't make it fair, rather it just prevents some very unfair activity(big team capping). But its not really &qu...
