Oops. That's what I meant to do.

void ThiefControl::process( bz_EventData *eventData ) { bz_FlagTransferredEventData_V1 *data = (bz_FlagTransferredEventData_V1 *) eventData; bz_BasePlayerRecord *playerFrom = bz_getPlayerByIndex(data->fromPlayerID); bz_BasePlayerRecord *playerTo = bz_getPlayerByIndex(data->toPlayerID); if (eventDat...

Indeed, it seems you are, or were, not familiar with frameworks. This whole step is not necessary, and I really do not know why one would want a static version of SDL instead of a dynamic library, as SDL is likely to be used by more than one application. I'm not an expert on this myself, but does s...

This is the first time I have thoroughly read through these instructions, and I have to say, I do not see how these instructions are specific to Intel Macs. What these instructions describe is basically the same for all Macs, except for the steps about SDL, which are not necessary. 4c. Configure SDL...

Two more. The fonts are a little small, because I resized the photos until they were under one MB.

Here are a few screenshots. I used my ATI displays utility to get a nice anti-aliased scene.

Here is a universal binary made from Constitution's Intel binary and my PPC binary. I tried it, and it seems to work.

Camping is annoying. I always thought it would be nice to give people more incentive to take out tanks that have Laser or GM versus going for the little defenseless tank who just spawned. Since 2.1x will allow the server to report individual scores back to clients, I thought a plugin that gives a p...

Enigma While I like your idea, I hope you are aware you can do this same thing with BZW code, except via world weapons (usually SW) - not just killing them. This is done with the trigger oncap option of the weapon object. I had no idea that was possible. Heck I have never even made a map. That is a...

This is a small update. I didn't like the fact that the plugin would re-find the team bases every time a flag was captured. Actually it did that for every player when looping through the players when a flag was captured, and the bases aren't going anywhere. Now it only finds the team bases when the ...

Hablo español.

Do you want to type accents? If so, go here:

I, of course, speak English, and I am currently learning Spanish.

¿Hablas español?

You're in luck! You don't need to know about the main() function to write a plugin.

I've been reading up on how to make a plugin, and it looked simple enough so I might just be able to pull it off... only to figure out that the API just doesn't allow for it. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Ok. This would just have to wait until version 2.2 comes out. Sorry all. :( You can change a p...

Why would I want a flag that gives others points? This is almost equivalent to the Useless flag; it does not do anything to benefit me or the team I am on. I'd rather use a flag that would help me to stay alive longer, such as the Narrow flag, as I play to shoot tanks and have fun, not watch numbers...

Chicken fingers, this is way off topic (apologies), but your avatar is making me hungry.

A Meteorite Not everyone can upgrade to IE7. It is only available to Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003, and Vista. True, thus encouraging upgrading your OS or to an alternative browser. :) Speaking of browsers, Safari was just released for Windows Vista and Windows XP, if anyone is interested.

can anyone make a windows version of this? i cant compile The only difference between my plugin and other plugins is mine requires boost . If you haven't done so, you must either install boost or rewrite the plugin so that it does not use boost. To link to boost, I just added -I/opt/local/include t...

Can there be a standard way to deal with flag names? bz_BasePlayerRecord has currentFlag, which is a string that is similar to "Red team flag" or "Low Gravity (+LG)," while bz_getName returns "R*" for the red flag and "LG" for the low gravity flag.

I will rate myself as (infinity)*0.

Here are some functions that may be useful. Basically, each function fires a world weapon at a player or an arbitrary position. The parameter variable names should indicate what each one is for, so I will not comment on them. I did not test the functions, but the math should be correct. bool fireWor...

I can never connect to your server. I always get "Error connecting to server," without an explanation describing why I cannot connect.
