Dear Trpted Thank you very much for your response. #1 Are you planning on listing the server in the public server list, or a private server? Private. If there were other people (other than the participants) coming to the game it would introduce variation or noise into the conditions. There should be...

Thank you @blast and you have been helpful in the past, thanks for that too. There are a fair few screams available on YouTube and I know how to use Audacity so I think I could mix in a scream... there is boom.wav and explosion.wav I merged a scream from http://allsoundseffects.blogspot.com/ into ex...

I am at last going to do an experiment using BZflagg to test 1) What view is preferred by Japanese (and perhaps Western) players thanks to the great work of @macsforme (Thank you!). 2) Whether view preference changes, and what psychological changes are found in players, when the game is played as a ...

Thank you macsforme.
takemoto at nihonbunka dot com works even better.
Sincerely
Tim Takemoto ne Williamas

Thanks Zehra > I don't mind passing the offer to Macsforme So...who is going to be kind enough to implement this? With regard to the "flag race" I would use one of the current modes. This needs no development nor plug in. I have searched the Net and here but can't find what Display Threads...

I am offering money, 600 USD, but Zehra has already taken up the offer provisionally, so until he passes it up, I am offering money to him. That said, I have to have the software by 28th of January due to it being the end of the financial year so how about if I give Zehra till the 10th to come up wi...

It seems that Zehra has been testing bots more recently. https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=20442&p=178336&hilit=bots#p178336 The thread above, if I have understood it says that bots have limitations in that if the user the bots are associated with is kicked, the bots are kic...

Thank you Blast,
But, if there were robots, (which would be preferable to people, since they always play in the same way, and are always ready and will play) I would not need any networking.

Dear Zehra Thank you very much indeed. I am sorry I did not respond sooner. I was rather busy lately due to Christmas being the deadline for graduation theses. Today (Christmas Day) I went into the school office and asked if it would be okay to spend the remains of my budget, 600 USD on software mod...

Thank you very much Blast, Tainn, Zehra and JeffM (The creator of 3rd person views on BZFlag, I think) for your responses. Thank you Blast for telling me where to find 2.99 I hope that the server is in there too. II have installed Visual Studio and am about to install Win Git. complied a apache/mysq...

The 3rdPersonCam settings mentioned above in this thread are 3rdPersonCam 3rdPersonCamXYOffset 3rdPersonCamZOffset 3rdPersonCamTargetMult So to make utterly sure And noting that in the commit by Jeff https://sourceforge.net/p/bzflag/mailman/bzflag-commits/?limit=100&viewmonth=200607 there are de...

I could use a keylogger, or just have players play in MarioKart and FPS versions and rate their enjoyment afterwards. But if I can't set up a MarioKart like view then I can't perform an experiment. > There also is not a third-person view in the game, at least while playing. Adding a third-person vie...

I could pay 100 dollars or more for a keylogger and view changer.

I would like to use BZFlag in an experiment to see why Asians tend to prefer third person games. To do that I would need 1) a keypress logger with times to see which view players have preferred. Does LogDetail, Logger, or BZAdmin do that? 2) The ability to set a keys that would change from 2.1) A fi...

I am interested in configuring BZFlag and, after about 30 minutes or more of searching, I find that it is highly configurable. This is the explanation of the configuration file https://wiki.bzflag.org/Config_File It is a text file. It took me ages to find the configuration file. This is the way to f...
