For those that can not see the video (not blind/visually impaired - capped or access blocked). Goes back and forth from their OS desktop to completely black & blank. As well as Goes back and forth from full screen to more like Windowed mode. The user appears to have a Mac/Apple, MacBook Pro. And...

#1 Interesting. I have also Options - Display Setting - Shadows - OFF and it worked as I said it worked. #2 As far as a config file option, in the client side file I found this line. #set timedate 0 At this time I am not sure of how that works other than to remove the pound sign and save the file.

It worked for me on my local server on the same version that you are on, as long as I did not disable tell the server to disable that feature (if you want to call it that). In my case I had to press and hold one of those two buttons until the screen either went darker or brighter. Then it cycles mea...

Ok. What about the future? I see at https://wiki.bzflag.org/List_Server that you are going toward a system based on LDAP - something called BZAuthd #1 Is it (or will it be) possible to run a BZAuthd private server? #2 Only if so: Is it (or will it be) possible that the BZAuthd private server connect...

Ok. Let me try again this again.

Can a private/LAN list server connect to the public list server - Yes or no?

Thank you

While that is useful, thank you (Please do not delete/with-draw your post), when I asked the question: I was talking about the client side connecting to a private list server, in turn the private list server connects to the public list server and any other public server that is not listed that I kno...

https://wiki.bzflag.org/Private_List_Server While that is nice talking about a LAN Server. What if I know of a public server that someone else owns and is not listed on the public list server? Is it possible to run a private list server that get data from the public list server too ( https://wiki.bz...

I tried to lookup on Google (or other online search engine[s]) vpns should not be used for gaming and I got conflicting info from what you posted.. the closest possible match was the link from github.com that was titled Don't use VPN services . In short, and in my own words, suggesting using a VPN o...

Not saying that is a bad idea, but I am just wondering -> How about making sure that users who are not registered (AND OR VPN) can't spawn OR even talk with others (other than the admins/cops) instead of kicking/banning? Please free to split the answer to the question in half. Since one half is abou...

Progress continues. more objects are supported and I'm working making it able to do animated previews. https://www.hyperdrive.tech/BZU/previews/hix_full_preview.gif The link takes me to a site that is flagged as hostile. Just a FYI It says.. www.hyperdrive.tech uses an invalid security certificate....

My guess is to contact one of the Admins about this by PM/IM

As to where the list of those people is, see memberlist.php?mode=team

Ok.

How about what are the plans?

Thank you

From the Project History page , I clicked on the reality.sgi.com/crs/bzflag.html web.archive.org, then I went all of the way back to 1997, to May or June and clicked on the future of bzflag . When is the Radio coming (if ever?) How about the Hologram or ECM flag(s)? How about Multiple flags? How abo...

As to why that is good reason.

Please do not forgot anything in the Wiki, into the readme file(s) or into documentation.

Also how does one compile using plug-ins, as another example not in readme file(s) or into documentation - yet.

Thank you

Please feel free to split this post to a new topic, as need be. The wiki is being phased out #1 Why is that happening? #2 Where will the info that is in the Wiki go, so people can lookup the info that they want to lookup AND OR help others without using these boards? For example if I wanted to know ...

While I like your idea, I just have to ask. Why not point them to https://wiki.bzflag.org/Main_Page and if they don't speak/read English, have them use Google translate (or something else like it) to translate it OR have the text in the Wiki pre translated? For example if you wanted to read about Lu...

*Sign* / +1 / me too / nods head in agreement with OP and with memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=57773

While that looks good, unless I am missing something, it is only for computers running Windows - Not cross platform.

Just provide the source code and we will compile our selves.

Thank you

The closest thing to what is being talked about, I point to Plug-in Releases -> All Hands On Deck (AHOD)

Capture the flag, bring it to the neutral base, and all of your other team mates must be also be at that base (zone) for a win.

*Sign*

Guessing: Will have to be done with the help of a plug-in.

I point to and quote part of https://wiki.bzflag.org/Message

, (comma) Send to nemesis =The last player you killed, or who killed you

That is the closest thing, without seeing the console, that I can think of.

In file while you have

include skydome.bzw

I had to define the location of where that file is, otherwise I get an error back.

So for example

include /home/user-name/.bzf/worlds/Clay_Hills_Series/skydome.bzw

Nods head in agreement.

Users who wish to be hidden, should be only shown to the mods/admins.

While I do not run any publicly listed server (if I run a server at all)...

I agree / nods head in agreement / +1

While I am not a coder also, for your helpers to better help you it would be better to provide more info about your concept. Then users who can help you write the code, can provide a PM/IM to you with the code to do what you want to do if desired. For example if for some reason you do not want the c...
