Official forums for BZFlag.org

Well, I am not sure if I should mention this, but MinGW32 (which is what Dev-c++ uses), already has all the definitions for DirectX stuff (at least what bzflag uses), so all you need are the headers it says it can't find. A yahoo search will get you these. Place them in c:/dev-cpp/include and recom...

If you get BZFlag from CVS, there is a README.MINGW32 file in the root. Read it, and go to http://mingw.org and get MinGW32 and the MSYS DTK, bzflag will build fine if you follow the directions. If you have questions which are not answered in README.MINGW32 (almost all of them should be), ask on #b...

Ok, the config.h file replacement got me farther (thank you). Now I have more for you:

I updated my post at the same time you replied to it, please re-read my last one. Thanks again.

lan56, thanks for the reply. Forget the first error msg. On the 2nd error msg you mention replacing the common.h file. Did you mean the config.h file? That is the file included in your zip file (which I replaced in the vc6 directory according to the readme file). I don't see the common.h file (with ...

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I thought I'd give compiling the source a whirl. I have zero knowledge of c++ of course. I downloaded the program you referred to, (only found a beta version of 4.9.9.0), your zip file and the source files from sourceforge. Then moved the files according to your instructi...

hola zongo,

match results:

bamf. - mad cow disease (8-10) i won
bamf. - mad cow disease (3-10) i won
bamf. - mad cow disease (7-10) i won

cheers!

The current scoring system is not configured to split points between teams like that. I could be wrong but, I don't think a match can be counted as official unless the players actually belong on the team they're playing with.

let me get this straight: you want to create a team, with one member (you). you play a match on another team as a "visitor". that team wins with you on it. the team you play with gets a win as well as your solo team? i don't think that is proper. gerbil, at one point, tried a similar freel...

3 match results

bamf. vs. darthvalou 0 - 10 (I won)
bamf. vs. havoc 10 - 9 (havoc won)
bamf. vs. havoc 7 - 10 (I won)

Thanks.

7/1/04 2 matches to report. From what I understand, you count the amount of deaths and the one to hit 10 deaths first loses. Let me know if I'm clueless or otherwise. I'm not sure how you want the results phrased, but I won both matches. bamf. (2 deaths) vs. venom (10 deaths) bamf. (2 deaths) vs. ve...

Where do you post results? I have a couple to post.

Looks like you have a switch set up wrong, post the details of your bzfs script.

cccp, you are posting in the "general league discussion" forum of the greatest online tank battle game ever to be created. This is for...guess what?....bzflag league discussion (go figure). This is not the bush-bashing forum or even a political forum for that matter. Please keep your polit...

this is funny. stop fighting children. timeout! go to your rooms. if you can't share cappie, then no one gets him.

I just had a similar conversation with my 3 & 4 year old over a megatron transformer.

hey, if you have any peanuts left, i'll take them...goes good with my gin.

Sorry to hear the news. You guys were always fun to match. Always a tough fight and a nice bunch of guys.

now that's comedy, thanks for the laugh.

Check the pc or motherboard manufacturer page. The beeps are coming from the motherboard and have a meaning. You should be able to obtain some documentation on what the different sequences mean.

Grumbler,

Yes, actually I'm using the non-high res version. Quality is set to high (not experimental) everything else is set to on with the exception of shadows.

Blast, I'm using the same card as you: GeForce FX 5200 PCI on WinXP and lately anytime I fire up bzflag my fan kicks on and goes non-stop. I'm not sure if this could be causing a jumping tank effect on my screen. I'm downloading the current drivers as we speak, just wondering if you or anyone else h...

Being that 90% of matches are not planned in advance and played at a moments notice, implementing regulations like the above just aren't feasible. There really haven't been any major issues with league matches with the exception of a match getting reported differently (rare) or the topic of this thr...

No..MY SIG!!!!

I'm around, trying to fit more bz breaks in at work

There's no question, team HoW is the biggest match pest in league history. But, that is not a bad thing, BB (I can't seem to start calling you DB, working on it) loves to play matches. I also don't understand the point of playing an unofficial match. I can understand if there are lag issues or a pla...
