Official forums for BZFlag.org

Not finished yet but here is a preview, I could release it as a map object as well for others to work with.
I will upload it when I have a bit more time.

Which is what I thought I just said.

My insight is that if you need a box or a mesh then output the voxel to that format, as voxels are cpu intensive as they run trig functions. The Goxel app creates a boxy minecraft experience any way so save to the obj format and convert to mesh or use wings to convert obj to bzworld. I may have miss...

I'm no expert but speed has to do with the number of poygon meshes.
So I guess don't make too many voxels.
I built a level that was based on subdivisions of the standard layout on x,y axis and z axis was a jumping height so looks a lot like a voxel map you might build with this.

There was a tool that loaded you in a game with your terrain and bots, it worked on XP. So if you have a powerfull machine and run it in a virtual machine? It grabbed your terrain, fired up the server and started a game. Of course no free roaming at any elevation. No doubt you all knew this anyway : )

A new open source editor (to me anyway) Goxel.
It makes voxel cubes and exports in object format and looks like a natural for BZFlag but I haven't tested in much yet.
I quickly made a very nice terrain tho by just scribbling with it.

OK, well on 7 It seems a lot better.
Indicates something going on with the app data but perhaps my computer failed on shutdown and left an unstable state.

just seemed odd so I made a post.

Apocalypse XVII was the server but It was last week so a lot of logs to review, and they are't mine so I'd have to ask. I can zip the folder and send it but don't know if any of the files are unrelated. BZFS0221_1-Servers was a file that was not in a new install of bzflag but perhaps I fired up a se...

I noticed that my computer was acting suspiciously and in trying to use system restore the bzflag folder (I think it is the persistant profile as I had uninstalled bzflag) system restore would not roll back due to that folder, repeatedly. Other coincidences was a bitly hack trying to have me sign up...

But i'm so super secure, no p0nies
Any how i'm looking at a hix thingy in unity with the tool, now i just need to figure what i can do with it for making a map. was just complaining about mac and windows file endings.
And compile or not to compile, questions, questions.

more objects are supported and I'm working making it able to do animated previews.

The link takes me to a site that is flagged as hostile.
Just a FYI

I'm not only doing repeating textures, if that matters.
I'm hand painting roadways and then mapping onto road section objects.
So perhaps a pavement texture but a vectored traffic legal line.

OK JeffM,
Do you know what the maximum resolution of one BZW unit might be?
In a formula like pixel per unit.
Or are you aware of relevant documentation where I can get answers to this that is a standard reference?

I want to make a realistic ground with roadways and am trying to figure the image resolution to map to the map terrain. Say I have a standard size map, what would fit the ground and would have detail enough to see passing lines on a road, for instance? As part of the thought experiment if I now want...

I get this error when trying to launch form the terminal: ~$ bzflag X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 153 (XFree86-VidModeExtension) Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode) Value in failed request: ...

Updated the file and I'll look into the other issue when I have a moment. Faces can be extruded to get the desired effect.

I made up a hexagon grid that would make a good terrain. My idea was to texture it with a geo tiff perhaps. At any rate it is free to use and redistribute. Normal copy left noncommercial uses. If you want to give me any credit all the better.

Here is a test bzf world. get a wings flag to test driving on the track. The problem is that the surface is a mesh so I'm not sure I can fix that although it seems to have worked better in the past. Any ideas just holler. BZRaceTest by yarro is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommer...

I can load it, it is pretty huge. So here is a screenshot.
I'll release something soon.

start BZFS is the replacement and works well on even 64 bit msdoze 7. also attach the rubber band to the hamster wheel. ; )

I have a model and some screen shots of a race track test. Model is a bit hard to get into a world but I am making gradual process. Some help I would like is how to make the shiny floor with reflection and how to set skidding and floor death, any good man pages for that? Could be a rabbit chase, fre...

Nurburgring Grand Prix Rennstrecke.zip bzfi0010.png 3.png 1.png I finally had time to get a working racetrack mesh object in a BZWorld file. Just a track and no world furniture as yet. Think I will put it in a game in a bit. Here it is if you want to try it out or include it in yours. :mrgreen: I'l...

Thanks, I'll update the world name when I release it. I just cut and pasted from a site on grand prix race tracks that showed outlays. I'm sure your correct though.

I would save your model to a mesh .obj file and then convert it to a .bzw, the forum did not allow an upload of the .obj file format. Also try smoothing normals as that may help get rid of angular road edges. Another thought is your world might need to be 2000 square units or even much larger to say...
