Official forums for BZFlag.org

Well ... there was a long discussion about Surftank's alleged death. Since I can neither verify its truth nor untruth ... I'll go the easiest way and don't touch this 1vs1 account. In case Surftank's BZBB account will be removed or locked (one day), an automated status update run will set the corres...

In difference to the other states, "inactive" is more a virtual status. It's almost like "active" but indicates a player didn't play any match since 31 days. So "inactive" will change to "active" a soon as Surftank is playing a match.

1vs1 League admins didn't expect BZFlag's 2.0.x successor before 2012. As a result there it wasn't planned to spend any development time in 2011. Unfortunately, the players changed to 2.4.x and forgot about 2.0.x...very untypical for BZFlag-conditions... :) Seriously, the plug-in (and lack of time) ...

May I add the note most people in Europe have CEST (s = summer = GMT+2) now? :)

Goodbye & RIP surf

That's just an option (customization).

Please use this place to report official matches you are missing. Usually all matches are reported immediately by the 1vs1 plug-in which is installed on all official match servers. Report are send to the 1vs1 web server then. In case of a temporary downtime of the 1vs1 web server there's a fallback ...

Well, what makes GU League so different compared to other team-based Capture-The-Flag leagues are the community itself and the match modalities: - two teams per match, - jumping, [EDIT]I forgot that jumping is essential, thx for pointing out that "no jumping" is wrong, Bullet Catcher.[/EDI...

Display BZFlag man pages from CVS.

I'm not sure, but because of the message above I think the script behind is trying to load the man pages from CVS instead of SVN. (Since a while the project is available as SVN repository only - as far as I know.)

I don't offer a list with country names but in case the you can identify the flags...

(You can get the country names via tool-tip when you move the mouse over the flags. My GeoIP source is MaxMind too.)

"the Best of the Rest"

Check http://rikercup.org/ - dexter brought the site up-to-date.

And for 1.7, I'm not even sure if that list server is running anymore. (which means even if someone was running a 1.7 server, you wouldn't be able to tell since the server list wouldn't work) blast is right - 1.7 is a dead version. The 1.7 list server went offline quite a few years ago and the last...

@mrapple Well, thank you for the notice but the flags and their descriptions were/are captured by regular trunk checks. So it's possible some flags are not any longer or not yet in the code of official releases. And as you can read: Cloaked Shot (CS) - Shots are invisible out-the-window. Still visib...

Many more commands here: http://bzstats.strayer.de/bzinfo/commands/ Some of those commands are for 2.99.x/3.0.0 servers, such as the lua / commands. Bambino is right - not all of the additional commands are for the 2.0.x servers/clients. At least one command (/selflock) is not even available in a s...

In my eyes, the the site isn't more difficult to handle than the old one. Beside the fact of being able to choose one of five different themes (and because nobody mentioned what makes the current themes so unattractive) you also have the option to create your own (which can be similar to the old one...

2.0.x servers are currently the oldest BZFlag servers on the public list, as you can see. There might be older servers around, but at least not listed (http://db.bzflag.org/db).
(Btw, the official list for 1.7 servers is down since months or even years.)

Well done!

1) Does this mean http://www.guleague.org/ represents the new official GU League website? (Just want to know - having team/player export for my BZstats site in mind.)

2) What happens when using the the BZBB weblogin page - automatic league registration?

Oopsa! In case that it could have been a hack, the other leagues using the web-league should run a data dump. Furthermore, they should check whether their web-league database users have only the permissions which are necessary for the tables. Usually, there's no need for TRUNCATE, DELETE and sometim...

Yes. If your BZFlag server has a connection to the internet make sure not to set the parameters "-public" and "-publicaddr". Otherwise your server would be listed on the public server list. For statistics you have the choice - using the server logs you can parse, a stats plug-in,...

It might be helpful for those who want to reproduce the incident if you say where and when did it happen.

Optic Delusion is right. :) @Zac I just want to add something about callsigns and global accounts on BZstats... There are three completely independent parts that might be interesting for you: (a) The server and player statistics Since the game servers do not send the global bzIDs when you do an ordi...

I appreciate the work on a league framework with the intention to improve the league-life. Since I'm known for critical appraisals I'll concentrate on the elements I don't like. Please keep in mind my bad English when you feel some of my comments would sound too rude. :o) Design / Layout Well, the r...

Well, beside the certainty of having a design-independent content structure, a RSS feed (usually) allows to transfer the same data like an HTML page with less traffic and less server resources (for creation). In this special case it seems that at least the amount of transferred bytes is higher when ...

omg... Please check http://stats.bzflag.org/rssgenerator.php and consider using the RSS feed instead of parsing the HTML code. Even when the stats site isn't known for changing its HTML code that often, the advantage of using the RSS feed is the reliable tag structure. (Furthermore, there already ex...
