oh, ok

Yay!

looks simple.

i wonder how it will play out?

I cannot code it myself yet, but i was stating how it could be done for anyone who has to code it. and the game state already has to be synced with the server. otherwise the tanks would be all over the place. if that is not what you meant, the moving objects would be controlled by the client. The se...

sounds good to me

having a few more paths to explore may make things a little more interesting to

You are right.

There does need to be more ways to find servers. Such as in the find server there should be a box on the side that displays servers where there is one player trying to attract attention. That way many more maps will be played

I have an idea for how to make movable objects in bzflag. They wuld work a lot like the current physics drivers. lets say we have a moving cube. while the object moves according to a predefined path it comes in contact with a tank. The direction the cube is moving is the front, if the tank hits the ...

interesting thought,

though it would be rather confusing and what about those of us who play via keyboard, we only have 1 (2 if we are smart) turn speeds.

this probably should be moved to the Map Editors Forum.

ooh sounds fun. I am excited

now he has 2 choices ::: either he will adapt to the Laser AND GM Sniping technics (and keep those maps on top of the serverlist to repeat the same story for the next new bzflagger) or delete bzflag on his box. good point there to, but there are many non sniper style servers that are not GU maps. f...

until then use wings 3d for visual map making

or even better Notepad!

When I started playing BZ, MoFo and Badgerkings were the places I did well. Ducati/Hix servers were just a whole other level of playing. When I started playing there more frequently I did well there and continuously got worse at Mofo and Badgerkings. BZ has a parted playing community. One half does...

But if there are no power flags, thier is no camping (unless the camper is really creative)

If older versions of windows aren't supported, then why are we so worried about bzf3 being compatible with older graphics cards?

What if for the period of time we still had flags, just no GM L SW SB or G

Thanks for answering

I've heard of LOd before but don't know how to use it.
please tell.

maybe for April fools week. But you would have to get all of the map hosters to cooperate. But I do agree. There are a lot of good maps online that are never played/discovered because of missile wars and the other maps at the top.

(Example:: louman's maps are almost forgotten at this point in time.)

what about win ME?

I meant that the technology patent expired, gifs people created ARE still protected by their personal copyrights. As goes with all forms of media.

Although yes SVG would be wonderful. Websites would be using it now to if it wasn't for Internet Explorer and it's [insert derogatory statement here]

How would I make a picture that always faces the player. such as the mummy on mofo's Halloween map.

oooo. looks fun

would it be practical to have background music? music would be imported by the server and defined in the map file. similar to the way a texture is imported for a material midi format would be ideal due to small size, but mp3 might work as well. there should also be an easily accessible off button fo...

would making a hollow arc with 3 divisions work for the outside as well?

tried it out. This is awesome!

although some of the tellies dont work right. the concept is really there
