It seems a bit complex though and might be a bit excessive. (Possibility of lots of repeated calls, despite the data not changing frequently.) Storing the content locally within a flat file database might be a good option.(Or SQLite or similar, but this might be a bit excessive.) We can cache this i...

Which program(s) were used in the making and rendering of this map?

Bolo sounds like a fun game, it actually might not be too difficult to implement as a plug-in.(Minus the engineer.)
At least from the description written in Wikipedia at the time of this writing.

While not an exact match, the duplicate map plug-in does perform some form of modified automatic team selection.

Or if you're interested, feel free to private message me a plug-in request with specifications.

1. * It's likely a list of all major commercial tank games.(BZFlag would be considered hobbyist.) * During the creation of the video, awareness of BZFlag's existence may have been unknown. * It may have not fit in with the categories. 2. * The games listed were pretty much completed when they were r...

What version of BZFlag are you using? (Install or self-compile?) Also, there appears to be comments of performance issues with regards to the GPU: (So this may be the case here.) Reddit 6800 XT , 6900 XT issues? AMD Community New 6900 XT tons of problems 6900 XT Performance Issues on Valve Index -Ze...

If this occurs, check if the password within the config has changed. It has happened where by mistake a one selects the field and a character is added or removed, thus causing authentication to fail. Also, if you are using mobile internet, such as from a hotspot, it can cause authentication to fail....

Welcome back n1k03. There's now a server search function included in BZFlag: Join Game -> Find Server and in the Find Server section, below there is an item which says Press '/' to search . Use the / key and enter as query ' Ducati ' and you should find some of the servers on the listings. Once agai...

That doesn't work on Fast Sorted. Even if enclosed with a passable and transparent meshbox of the same height, you will still see the objects inside with a darker color, ever though the hue will be the same. If the boxes themselves are placed in a grid pattern, there should be no overlaps or enclos...

With regards to the plug-in, as it has been around a decade without updates, the recent API changes to world weapons/server shots would quite likely impact it directly.

The issue is simply how the *normal* radar works in operation. Ideally noradar would cause an object not to appear on all radar styles. I haven't tested or confirmed this, but what may work is to use non-visible and non-interactive objects and place them around the boxes, so as to make them appear a...

The radar style is a client controlled aspect which can not be controlled by the server.

Dear Tim, Thank you. I appreciate the offer and the conditions and terms are perfectly fine and reasonable. I don't mind passing the offer to Macsforme, as he's generously offered his support and is more skilled and experienced than myself and has done other works which gives him experience and insi...

Welcome back cosmos, it's been quite a while, but glad to see your return. For future reference, if you may include a gist or make available an external resource, this way you'll be able to update a work within a post, while only needing to post the update of it. While a lot has changed, a lot has r...

Well done Agatha. I'm impressed by your work. --- For those who may be interested, you may add some shootthrough/drivethrough objects at the positions given as a way to better reference where you need to be to make those shots as they would provide a good positional guide. --- To turn this into a pr...

There's no guarantee, but I'm willing to give it a shot some time after Christmas time/end of year, but can't promise anything yet. It might not work, so that's one thing to consider, although I'm fairly confident in my abilities. (Although there's a decent number of programmers with skills much bet...

Back to the topic at hand... While I am uncertain if the view perspective can be toggled/bound to keys, implementing the needed modifications is rather simple. The following would likely achieve what is desired, as this is simply understood to be for an experiment, hence it is a rather simple mod/ha...

While it does not come as its own setting, the little arrow besides the one on the mousebox, happens to come as a compound setting. To re-enable it, simply go from Options -> Display Settings and select the Quality: option and choose Experimental . This should re-enable the arrow/marker above/on the...

Welcome back Muffen. There's been quite a few changes throughout the years, so don't be too surprised at what you see. Some of the biggest changes are with regards to the Wings flag and the -noTeamKill option. (Plug-ins are another big change, so you might see stuff like custom flags and related.) O...

Thanks blast. Looking forward to the upgrades.

Shot Manipulation and Trickery There has been quite a few questions asked over the years about shot trickery. Generally most of the questions relate to "homing shots", besides GM or if shots can be made to go in curves. The API does not support this, however it can be "simulated"...

Why not a setting in the UI that says: "Game time" and have the ability to select "Server time" or "Local time"? That would be so much nicer. Actually, what might be a better alternative is a start-up script for the game client. This way you'll automatically have it se...

Players gain a single point per kill by default. Question was in reference to if the "bounty" takes into account the point made by kill. If so, the player scores would "rise" according to bounty kill streak. Otherwise a bounty of "2" points would be an increase of "...

A rather simple modification which would enhance the plug-in quite a bit: 1. Find this section of code: bz_killPlayer(diedata->killerID, false, diedata->playerID, "RR"); 2. Add the following right below it: bz_incrementPlayerLosses(diedata->playerID, -1); 3. So it should look like this: bz...

Originally, I was going say this as an addition of the third phrase."Even if a the flag is still on the base, if grabbed by a player of another team, it has not last been reached by the team.". (Seemingly slightly redundant, it wasn't done.) :? A readme will later be planned for ArenaCTF. ...
