The middle is from mofo, the x-looking thing in the corner is from hix, the other side of the map with the 3 boxes (two boxes apart from each other with a box in the middle connecting them with pyramids on top of it) looks like its from badgerking's map So for now, my Easy Target's Colosseum is ret...

C. Description of making a two story teleporter. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, that seems like a whole lot of work for what I've got going in my map a few posts up. Instead of putting the bump box on the ground, why don't you put it between the meshbox or textured box and the teleporter? In my m...

Which version of BZFlag do you have? Anything that's 2.0.8 or older doesn't support boxes with textures. I've got 2.0.10 RC3 and it's working for me. :?

Hmm, a textured box doesn't work either. Try the attached map. I've got four platforms with corresponding teleporters. The one with the brick texture is a regular box. The red one is a meshbox. The blue one is a textured box. And the green one is a textured box with a thin box just under the telepor...

When you get stuck going through a teleporter, it's usually one of three things. 1. The teleporter is too close to a wall. 2. The teleporter you're going to is too low 3. One teleporter is on 1.x stuff, and the other is on 2.x stuff In your case, you have problem three. Your teleporters are going fr...

Hey, I played it earlier tonight, and only had one major problem- Spawn Camping! Not only is it fairly easy to do without a flag, but SW is impossible. I sat in the red base and killed 5-6, and there was nothing they could do about it until I left. I would set up a spawn zone the size of your map, a...

The pyramids you have in the air, there is no way to get up there or even use them in fact. So they are pretty useless lol Actually, you can get up there. If you go to the towers on the side, and through the teleporters to the top, you can jump onto the pyramids. I'm not sure what you'd do up there...

I think that if you fall into a pocket it should shoot you down to the end of the table with one of those moving bridges like on BloodBath (I cant remeber what they are called) and then pop you back onto the table. That would defeat the point of the pockets! One of the original intents of this map ...

Change drivethrough to shootthrough to let bullets through, but not tanks, or passable for both tanks and bullets.

Wow, those balls have a really low face count, perhaps you could add more. Other than that, great work. It is pretty low, but I really don't know what's an acceptable number of faces. This morning I changed the balls to 12 x 12, and the map turned out to be around 300kb. That seemed awfully high, s...

Jefenry's Pocket Billiards

Originally this was intended to be a fun, easy project to do over Thanksgiving Break. I'm not sure how playable it is, but is is mildly fun to fly through and blow up bots. With -set _friction 1, and -set _tankSpeed 75, the tanks are borderline out of control. Comments and suggestions are appreciate...

No, BZFlag is not running on my calculator, however cool that would be though... When I first read Peter's post, I assumed he knew it was a drawing, and was just joking. But regardless, it was actually pretty fun drawing it, and I may make some more from some of the popular maps. If so, I'll post th...

I gave it a try, but I think the bullet range is too long. If you sit in the center of your base, and aim at the right spot, you can get your bullets to go all the way to the enemy's base. Two guys doing that on both sides of the tunnel would effectively prevent any of the opposite team from even ha...

Any chance though you might do a Mars map? That's not a bad idea... It would be pretty cool to have a map centered around a huge crater and one of the rovers.

Recently I decided to take the plunge and see what Wings 3d is all about. This is the result- a battle on the moon, complete with lunar rover, lunar lander, rocks, craters, and a flag. There are a few other surprises that you'll find if you explore it. All and all, I'm pretty happy with how it turne...

You can always just save a copy of the map from the game, if you can't find the file elsewhere. Just type "/saveworld insertname.bzw".
