Grace for instance I say exceptional on a server with errr idk, firing squad, and he doesn't ban me, gives me a light warning to calm down. Then I say wtf on a server with brad and he bans me. How is this a message? So admins make their own rules basically? I agree to a point and I must say some of...

It would seem that if you want your teammate to be able to play more matches, perhaps he should not use bad language? Seem Logical? Its very simple.

Could it be due to the increase in the use of bad language? If there is a crime spree in my home town, I certainly hope to see a increase in arrests. Perhaps everyone should just follow the rules, because children play this game. And as a parent myself, i would ban anyone who uses bad language on my...

For sure.

bzfs generates ducati maps.
That generates a random map via bzfs, there are many other options for that on the wiki. ---> http://wiki.bzflag.org/Sample_conf



But to generate a random map via a script is simple enough to do.

any screenshots? It really helps if you add screenshots.

It is all show here on the wiki: http://wiki.bzflag.org/Server_Variables

I would be happy to help out with that.

You will be dearly missed old friend. I wish you the best of luck.

Please do come back and visit from time to time.

Not sure in windows but there is a nvidia control center for Linux where you can set vsync. I would think there would be on Windows as well.

This is mainly for experiment, but I have written a ruby script to create a CTF with 3 fast shots and superflags. I'm constantly tweaking the script to improve gameplay, it also includes random world weapons. Input would be greatly appreciated.

Cool Map FA. I recommend adding flatshading to all your arcs. I would also recommend adding -set _noClimb 0, just thinking about the mid of the map.

Nice work

you can also specify a color.

example: diffuse green

all of this info is on the wiki. it just has to be read.

-set _wallHeight 40

This sounds like a Map Discussion rather than a release.

Map discussions are located here ---> http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewforum.php?f=40

All that information is available on the wiki.

This is a open ground map for dodging, while still having good rico opportunities.

Thanks for the comments. Rotation changed to every 6 hours.

I have set up a rotation server at bzbattleground.com:5154 for some classic maps. Just the memory of these great maps is worthy. It is set on 1 hour rotation, for most maps. Currently the maps hosted include: Overlord by Dutchrai Wild East Wild West by Dutchrai The punisher by Dutchrai Suggestions a...

joevano, I misunderstood the wrinkle you spoke of, I was thinking of running multiple processes in the same terminal session. blast, Ctrl+C serves the same purpose as Ctrl+L, without clearing the terminal, so there is a history of what I've done. I'm getting forgetful, it simply helps me to remember...

Not to throw a big wrinkle into this.... but how would you run multiple maps? Each requires it's own instance of bzfs, which is unlike apache sites. The same way, just start as many instances of bzfs or any proc, following each command with Ctrl+C. Then use exit to close the terminal. Or write a si...

In general any process that runs from the shell directly will terminate if that terminal connection is closed. Running it in screen or putting it to a background process will allow it to continue running without problems. Although screen is your best option for still allowing input through the inte...

I find making a map by hand, aka text editor, to be the best way to make a map with box, pyramids, etc...

wings3d does letters and numbers.

I would look at replacing 'pulseaudio' with 'alsa'. Due to my sound Card (HDA ATI SB) pulseaudio simply does not work for me with bzflag, and a few other things.
