Well, I finally got the SDL to hook-in on my ./configure using the "shotgun" method of installing most all program libraries which seemed remotely related -- about 28 programs total including dependencies. Which one actually fixed it, I don't know. Now, I will hop over to my fedora13 syste...

here is the output of 'bzflag -version': bzflag -version BZFlag client 2.4.0.20110811-STABLE-linux-gnu (protocol 0221) http://BZFlag.org/ Copyright (c) 1993-2011 Tim Riker I suppose the lack of SDL showing brings me back to my ./configure. When I grep for SDL my config.log file, it shows the followi...

Yes, there appears to be considerably fewer players here lately. As blast pointed out, it must be the new version being needed for what used to be the more popular servers. For Windows systems, get the upgrade is pretty simple. But for linux, upgrading can be a bit more challenging until the new rel...

I removed libsdl1.2debian-all as suggested, no help. Blast, your statement seems to indicate my problem might be run-time related instead of a problem with the build? btw, where does the .bzf/config.cfg file live? I couldn't find it. Thanks anomaly for the jeffsplace reference. An item of note here ...

yes, the sdl-config is a valid command.

I will try the rebuild after removing libsdl1.2debian-all.

I have added those additional libraries and now match those recommended by anomaly. completed a new ./configure and make/make install. Sound setting still shows unavailable. libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-p...

Yeah, about that config.log file upload. I must be an idiot or something. I tried attaching the file using the "Upload attachment" tab under the full editor here in the forum. No matter what file name I try to use, it won't allow me to attached the file. I get an "The extension is not...

Blast, From my earlier post: Doing a grep SDL against my config.log file, I do see the following: configure:18020: checking for SDL/SDL.h configure:19634: checking for SDL framework configure:19650: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -framework SDL conftest.c -lGLU -lGL -lm -lpthread >&5 gcc: SDL: No such f...

Thanks for the feedback. And, per the README.Linux file, I do have the following libraries installed: Debian & Ubuntu: libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libsdl1.2-dev libcurl3-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev (may have to add this yourself as well) Furthermore, I also have the libsdl1.2debian-all packages...

I am running ubuntu 11 64-bit (2.6.38-10-generic) and I seem to get a clean ./configure of bzflag 2.4 source, and a clean make/make install. configure:24510: result: Build ares ........: yes configure:24512: result: Build curl ........: yes configure:24514: result: Build glew ........: yes configure...

JeffM, Thanks for the tip. And, I suspect you are correct that it is something related to my internet router. When I start up a bzflag server on my local network and connect directly to it on my LAN instead of connecting to it via the bzflag server list by way of my router, my observer session doesn...

When in observer mode, after several minutes, all other players on the server show as being [nr] even though in real-time, play is continuing as normal. Is this a problem with my client? Are there any settings which might control this?

Blast,
Thanks for the suggestion. The trench_warfare.bzw map does have some exposed areas in the map at 0 elevation -- namely the trench zones. But, I have gone ahead and disabled the -sa option to see if it helps the situation.

Are there certain world file and/or bzfs.conf file settings which can cause random player (client) hangs or freezes? In particular, the "trenchwars" map I am hosting seems to cause random players' games to freeze-up. I have also seen the event first-hand with the client running on Windows ...

So, this is an older posts that I am reviving to see if anyone has created an SELinux policy type for bzfs on Fedora 12 running in "enforcing" and "targeted" mode? As an alternative, maybe one of the existing SELinux types which are part of the standard FC12 build are know to wor...

Speaking of v2.1, can you give a hint, maybe just a little "taste", of the planned enhancements? Please...pretty please?!?! I know, you are thinking..."give them a maintenance release, and even before the bytes have dried, they are already asking about the next rev..." Such a fic...

Personally, I think my callsign is one of those unique ones which aligns well with how the players on the opposing teams and/or rogues see me when I play.

Maybe I am a "purest", but the Geno flag is the one detraction I find with this (and the many others with high shot-count Geno) map. But, I don't blame the map. To Navitas's point, I blame the Geno-Whores -- and, you all know who you are!

Truely, new players (< 12 months) don't know the history and significance of Boxywars. It needs to be required reading (lol). Welcome back Boxy!!!
