What has changed from the 2.0.0 version? I downloaded and unpacked it. First thing I noticed was some changed file sizes.. But on the surface it plays the same.

Some more troubleshooting info.
I can change the variable after /set _syncTime in the console on the client and move the sun manually that way. But that's no fun. Takes large numbers to make it go too.

I set long and latitude on the server in the .conf file. It does move the sun as I change them but it's like the clock isn't running.

Common sense: if you see a poll to set an unreasonable value, vote against it. If something's already set to an unreasonable value, start a poll to set it back. /poll works both directions, and it only works when a fair number of people want the changes to occur...initiating a poll doesn't automati...

wow...amazing....great job Jeff ;) x2 :D Like a typical noob I missed this thread and did a lot of 'search' ing these boards for alot of the info that was in just this one thread. That and having done some other hosting and network administrations got me muttled through it. Best post of the whole b...

Sun does not move. At all. I even held the keys.

I have synctime and synclocation on in the conf file. I have long and latit set too. But you log in and the sun never moves it's always at the position that longit and latit set it at but never continues across the sky. Any idea what I'm missing. 2.0 server, win 98 box, on internet and lan, xp on th...

Is the software corrupting?

Well... If it does start showing flaky operation I can simply restart the machine and start from scratch.. Correct?
I reboot the machine about once a month for the sake of smooth operation.

I'm surprised anyone is having trouble with bzfs in windows... I've had it running nonstop on win98 on a junker machine that is my lan server for 24 hours straight and no lag, no crashes and was even playing people in my home lan from work. (dsl to cable) So far it's been flawless on 98 and XP pro. ...

Ok.. My bad
I had to rewrite a couple of rules in the firewall. But I'm totally online now

Well.. No Go. I can't log into my home server from here at work :( Firewall is open on 5154 and those ports are mapped directly to that machine. Here at work I can log onto other public flagservers, just not my own. Guess I'll go through my firewall logs thoroughly when I get home... Any thoughts fr...

Done... Thanks
Woulda sucked if NAT fubar'ed my experiment tomorrow

Well, you should make sure your firewall is open on the port that the BZFlag server is running on (5154) and you should set up your router to forward all traffic that arrives on your BZFlag port (5154) to the server computer. That should get you running outside of your LAN correctly. CRAP.. Your ri...

Success!!! I have bzfs with map and switches all running my my server. It seems to be playing nice with winroute and abyss server on 98se :) I figure I will test tomorrow and try to log into my home server from work. But I was able to log into my local server by addressing my cable modem IP:port ins...

Well. It sounds like this may work. The old server will not be running a client, just the serving app. As I mentioned at most my cable modem will handle 3 internet players at one time. The rest will be inside the lan. Thanks for the input. I'll post results as I get them :wink: Any others with input?

My brother introduced me to this game Sunday and I instantly loved it :D After playing a bit I decided I wanted to serve a game inside my lan that I could also maybe invite outsiders into occasionally. I'm running the server with these flags: -sb -j -mp 10 -ms 10 -p 5154 -password xxxxxxx -q +r -req...
