sure, I can enter. I wasn't aware of this competition, but I guess my map matches the criteria, haha...

Hello. This is a map I made! The map file and screenshots are attached below. It is licensed http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Anyway, this map was an idea a friend came up with, and I created a map out of it. It's a small (150x150) 2-team CTF map with three layers (underground, grou...

... just wish i could play BZFlag in true 3D (kinda like 3D movies). that would be awesome

What about bzflag -view anaglyph ?

Marzipan: I've made a few modifications to the speed ring. First, the speed is increased and the entrance is moved back more. The bump-boxes for getting onto the speed ring have been raised. This causes shots to ricochet off of it when shot in from outside. The box is low enough that tanks riding th...

fabulous!!! very clever and creative map!!! ... looks good ... good map fp. its fun ...etc. Thanks :) That is the most creative thinking of flags ive ever thoguht of before. The perfect amount with flags that cancel each other out. Its almost rock-paper-scissors :wink: Heh, I was thinking it was li...

Enigma: Those variables look like they were left over from an example in my plugin tutorial. Anyway, TheFish, there is a bit of extra code you don't need in the plugin. All it does is flagtake when someone dies and flaggive when someone spawns, you don't need any of those variables. Also, you don't ...

What do you think?

Just make the bottom faces .01 units beneath the top faces. That's how I got it to work.

You just have to fiddle around with the "linear" values to get it to bounce you up just the right amount. Make sure you have _noClimb set to 0. Also make sure that you do NOT have a bottom face on the escalator, (a face opposite the escalator). This took me weeks to figure out for my elevators and e...

Wow looks amazing f_p. Thanks Anyway, I like the layout of the map, especially its textures. Most of the textures were yallaire's (images.bzflag.org/yallaire). The only thing I dont like but am still ok with is the middle room. Does it serve a purpose? You stated that it was inaccesible, but why? T...

Wow, awesome

I was planning on making something like this, though I never got around to it

Anyway, attached is a compiled .so (EDIT: .so of version 2 is attached) (EDIT2: I removed the attachment because a newer version is available in the original post)

This map is a rabbit chase wings battle map (wings flags are given to the players on spawn.) with two wings jumps. All the gameplay takes place on one segment of telephone line. If you touch the ground, you die. So basically, the map is made up of long narrow walkways directly above each other. http...

I don't see much reason for this -- I think dropping the team flag over a pyramid or slope to pass it to the middle is a better alternative. This also makes it so that you can only pass the team flag across half the map. You can only pass it to the middle, but not any farther. Just my opinion :) Thi...

Thanks everyone. The concern about the purple team is not without merit. ;) Whenever there is a non symmetrical CTF map and one team's base is significantly higher than its opponent, it tends to be sorta better for the team above. In this case, they simply drive down, or jump, catching a block from ...

This my newest map, On the Edge. It is a simple, no-cover map with multiple layers and interesting slopes. The bases are on opposite corners, the red base is on the ground and the purple base is on the top level. The four teleporters in the corners lead to the middle teleporter. There are two phanto...

Hosted at bzbattleground.com:9012 I played on it when it was full of people, and it seems to play ok. My main complaint is that there are lots of things on the upper levels, but no easy way to access them. Almost all gameplay happens at ground level. You should make some teleporters on the ground th...

Author: flying_popcorn Description: Prevents players from picking their own team flag up. Also it flag resets (unused) when a flag is captured. Min Version: I don't know Capture the Base is a game style where you zone one team's flags on the opposite team's base. Then you set up spawn zones so the t...

here's a screenshot

This is very useful, thanks for making it

BTW, it has an error: too many arguments to function 'bool bz_removeCustomSlashCommand(const char*)'.
Removing a custom slash command only takes the command name, not a reference to the handler.
