While I was writing a plug-in, I found it useful to be able to get extra information about a flag from its flag code, such as its shot type, quality, full name, and whether or not it is a team flag. I am pretty sure the current API does not have a way to get this information, so I wrote a class that...

Yep, it's just a matter of adding velocity vectors. I have found that using roughly %75 full speed will launch you right next to the flag. If you use about %80 to %85 full speed, you can land on the wall above the SB flags.

If you followed what anomaly said, you should have ended up looking in the function handleMessage(void*) in playing.cxx. If you scroll to the end of the function, you'll see some calls to addMessage(). This function calls ControlPanel::addMessage(), and, as you would expect, adds a message to the co...

You already have a debugger: gdb and Dtrace. I have no idea how to use Dtrace, as I am not inclined to learn the D programming language just to use it, but I know how to use gdb a little bit. To load bzfs in gdb, just type "gdb bzfs" in the terminal. Once gdb is running, type "run -co...

While I was testing a plug-in today, I had a few problems. I am using the unstable code in svn trunk. If I call bz_setPlayerShotType(), I cannot shoot. I don't know if this happens to everyone or just the player who is getting a different shot type, as I am the only one on the server. Once I grab or...

So I started writing another plug-in. It changes the shot type based on a string that is passed to it. For instance, if you passed "WG&GM-CL&L" to the plug-in, WG would have GM shots, and CL would have L shots. Here are some screenshots. Low Gravity with ShockWave Cloak with Laser ...

There is also a fairly large list of GPL-compatible licenses here.

I think you have to add --enable-shared with 2.0.11.

Wait, did you use --with-libcurl=FILE or --with-libcurl=DIR?

Have you tried using LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" instead of --with-libcurl?

I'm just throwing around ideas.

This is a map I started working on, but I don't think I will try to do anything else to it. As you already know, it's a variation of Hix, and it is incomplete. I say incomplete because, for some reason, the tanks get permanently stuck on the blue base and the green base, but not the red base. They a...

Nothing beats practice

According to http://my.BZFlag.org/playerstats.php my most losses amounts to 4003 . I was testing a spawn plug-in with a very short explode time and auto pilot on. Some people took advantage of me, as I was spawning in the same spot. One shock wave probably killed me 20 times. I suppose I found a way...

I made a few changes so that scores are updated. This was done by basically copying and pasting some code from my mine plug-ins, since I know the code works. This might not compile though; I don't have 2.0.10 sources and cannot compile it. I think you need 2.0.10 for this to work. I can't remember. ...

It appears that this could be done with a modification to the FlagOnSpawn plug-in. I am not familiar with exactly how the plug-in works, so I do not know how extensive the any modifications wiould need to be. Though I imagine very few will be required.

1) I thought it would be nice if the Seer flag could indicate which tanks have stealth on radar. Trepan's autohunt patch is able to do this, and I miss it. 2) When identifying players, something that indicates which player is being identified, either on radar or on the HUD, would be useful. Since th...

If this is done, delete would not be the key to use. You would probably have to create a new slash command (ex: /blowup) that simply fires a world weapon shock wave where you are at. In addition, if you want to get points when the world weapon blows up a tank, you would need to set killerID in Playe...

People do not like mines; they cause unavoidable death.

You can do it in-game too.

/localset fpsLimit 60

To get bzfs to compile, you can enter export LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS}-L/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries into the terminal before running configure. Make sure you use the same shell for both commands. This will get rid of the error from ld: ld: cycle in dylib re-exports with...

One last try. Here is fair4ctf compiled on 2.0.10. The source file and the binary are included.

According to the plug-in releases forum, you want to build version 2.0.11, correct? You checked out version 2.1, which isn't what you want. The svn command to get 2.0.11 is... svn co https://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/branches/v2_0branch/bzflag There are also issues with compiling bzf...

2) so i got via SVN and Terminal the bzflag sources (svn co https:/ /bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/trunk/bzflag) and it has been installed in a folder "bzflag in my user folder You need to get the 2.0 branch. svn co https://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/branches/v2_0bra...

Here is a ppc binary and a source file. It was compiled on OS X 10.5 and bzflag 2.0.11.

I went ahead and compiled fair4ctf, and line 52 should be instead of because the compiler interprets ">>" as operator>>.

so ::: let me ask someone with the right mac skills very very very nicely please!!! could help me someone to build the Fair4CTF plugin to make it work on Mac OS 10.5 and bzfs 2.0.10 it would be highly appreciated!!!!! I'll try. 1) Download the xCode tools from developer.apple.com. You will have to ...
