Official forums for BZFlag.org

Thank you very much for the illumination. If I don't misunderstand you (as long as the Lua implementation is kept up-to-date in future) it's much more promising to implement all further BZFlag plug-in ideas in Lua because compared with regular C/C++ plug-ins you have more possibilities and code is w...

Use key "9" for a standard key mapping to turn on autopilot.
In some situations or on some servers (permanently) autopilot is disabled.

In case the default configuration file (generated when you rename/remove your current file) still causes this issue, try to add the following line into your configuration file: set useBitmapFontRenderer 1 This disables font rendering via texture meachanism. Even if this is working for you, I can't t...

Sounds like a nice feature for leagues (no matter if for practice only or for official matches too). I'd suggest an uneven number of fields since many maps have "axes" defined by team bases or central objects ... but a grid for team movement coordination might be interesting. This might be...

...good to know!

Thank you for the information and the very quick answer. ;o)

Well done...thanks to blast and the others who were/are involved in this upgrade. Please don't forget to fix the case sensitivity issue for user names via weblogin. :o) Apropos: Will weblogin be replaced or supplemented by LDAP service and/or the account management daemon (GSOC'08 project "BZA...

...without too much house advertising: http://bzflag.redjacket.ws/serverlist or http://bzstats.strayer.de/servers/online Both sites list the servers' locations which are more or less accurate. For the bzstats I'm using data from maxmind.com. If needed (on request) I could also add more detailed info...

Beside the forum search (as Jeff mentioned) and many web pages I'd suggest to check http://shellshock.bzflag.bz. Its contents are rather old and not really up-to-date (e.g. regarding available flags), but in my eyes it's one of the best resources for tips and tricks for non-experts.

The statistics table contains all shots/hits information your client collected since you are connected to the server. It's rather easy to interpret the columns...just have a look at the table header. It should be self-explaining. Player > player name Hit% > hit ratio in percent Total > number of tot...

@ Tank 52: The email field is not supported any longer. So it's not a bug...

Not bad slime...ever considered going out into nature (real life, not Second Life ^^)?

As far as I can see you reached at least a score of +1005 before you left after 3h:34min. Your opponents/victims enjoyed your run too, I guess...well done... ;o)

Real life can be so cruel. But, all the best for you in future.

...and as blast indicated...BZFlag causes a long-time addiction ;o)

Congratulation to the winner Destructionboy, wizard and all the other participants.
Thanks for your interest.


btw...will moonpix and Silent Assassin play out the 3rd place?

purple for team play and rogue for the rest...

(no power to the RogueGenocide plugin :oP)

no, it's not dead... [dmp] is still working on it whenever he has time to. The current test build contains some very nice (and useful) features. I don't know if he wants to publish it before doing some structural improvements. However...stay tuned...there will be a new release within the next...hm.....

Uh...seems to be a misunderstanding...but... :o) You don't have to select "start server", because this would start a BZFlag server on your machine. What you have to do is to go on "Find server" to select a server and to confirm by pressing the return key. After that you just have...

nice one...but I'd surely eat it too... ;o)

Just a note to those who want to participate, but aren't registered at the 1vs1 League so far: You can register yourself by joining the server 1vs1.catay.be:5155 . On this server you can benefit from the features of catays new 1vs1-plugin-demonstrator by using the /ovso command. If you type /ovso re...

Something to z[h]eros comment: If you want to use the buddy list, you have to login with your global login before you can add buddies at http://bzstats.strayer.de/mystats/buddies/ . The reason why you have to do this is that I don't see an advantage in storing these data in cookies. Thx for the adve...

A Distraction: Don't mix up the kinds of stats. Community-related information as the "number of visits to this website, topic post frequencies, and geographical areas of visiters and topic posters" is different to what you can find on game stats sites. The farther back in time they go, the...

Much more interesting is the fact that BZFlag's text chat is not too comfortable but used a lot by players. ;)

Thanks for the link!

There's no comment about the old mapatorium. As far as I understand the message, RPG will rewrite the main site only...but I'm not sure...
You'll surely have more reliable information.

Thanks for your answer.

Hm...starting something to replace something else that actually works is never easy...and the current version of Mapatorium 2.0 offers indeed less features than RPG's mapatorium ( http://www.garrettsites.net/bzmaps/ ). This isn't a surprise because it is just a beta, but would you please tell us in ...

I like the graphs, but donny_baker is right when he means that there are way too much in the player profiles. Reducing the sessions to a number of (i.e.) 20 and placing a link to browse through all or just a few more sessions, would be nice. Maybe it would be a good idea to leave out the session gra...

The server bzflag.wnc.or.at:5154 is still online, but disappeared from the server list for some reason. I felt free to add it by hand to the BZstats list again: http://bzstats.strayer.de/servers/stats/?name=bzflag.wnc.or.at&port=5154 [UPDATE] BM: You could try to contact the owner (alex430), but...
