for me 1-3 jitter is reasonable, certainly not 20-23, that's when the tank starts to appear to jump around the map.

A LOT of people have played on this in the last two days, as it has only been up two days, guess where

Take a look at there /help files, they have a list of admins and cops


as for when they are on, they can't really plan when they are going to be on BZ, and when they are not...Just hope that jumping jill doesn't come back and mess up your game, as for getting it down, just do a poll for a flagreset

So your saying that you h ave a hit zone that is larger than the tank...?

it has come to my attention that most of the bzflag population doesn't know how to register here, Would it be possible to let them know that they can get more powers if they register at the site, most of the time i find out, is during a poll, half the people are going "how do i vote" and t...

they cannot tell the direction even if it was a rectangle....it would only show a hwite rectangle, instead of a square...

Yes, that is what i am getting at, that it always shows you the rectangle, instead of the square it does now....you can press 4 and zoom in to see the rectangle

Ummm...the box does not represent actual tank size...the benefits would be improved dodging tactics.......

And on top of this, it would then be a very simple thing to modify the radar renderer to just stick a barrel on one end of the tank. That's not what i'm saying, instead of a square, could we have a rectangle to represent the tank instead of a square...and you still wouldn't be able to tell which wa...

You still couldn't tell which way it was pointing, it is still just a shape, with no arrows or anything, how could you tell the direction

radar

Explain what....

Perhaps the new version of BZflag requires a more up-to-date sound driver?

I'm not the expert, although you might try upgrading your driver...

You know how the radar height system makes a box around your tank? instead of it's true size of a rectangle?

Could it somehow be implemented where it shows you the ACTUAL size of your tank? although this had little effect on major servers, on skill servers it would be somewhat useful

Thoughts?

I think some of the files were missing, when i reinstalled it, it worked fine


nice work

I opened it with Adobe reader and all it is is a line of code....
It is a text doc or a pic?
IE

Ummm, are you sure that's supposed to be a pdf?

Anyways, it's just a random bit of code, any reason you wanted us to have it?

Maybe it will turn us into tanks if we eat it :D:D

I have a library on iTunes that will play for about 4 days non-stop, almost 4500 songs!!!

I'd like to listen to iTunes, but the lag interferes with my playing (Slow iMac;))

During the evening, Are you able to connect to an IP of the server?

I used to have this problem until i switched my ISP, the only get around was to ping the server hostname and typing in the IP manually, best of luck

I got the latest video driver for my no longer supported, intel(r)82815, although maybe the screen resolution is messed up.

I just obtained a Windows 2k Pro, And i downloaded bzflag, this is the screen i get when opening it, however, after connecting to a server successfully, i can view them as normal, I don't know what GL i have, as i don't know how to check, being on a mac the past years, any help?

You should add a barrier to the bases so they can't shoot inside, it's too easy to spawn kill, make it a non rico barrier

look at your taskmanager, and see if anything OPENS while in BZflag, Of course, when something closes, that might also be an issue, as it can steal the focus as well. You could eliminate the source code that has the windowed version, but that is a i littler more difficult

I'll also contribute as much as i can.
Some things I would be willing to write about are the leagues of bzflag, and some other things.

You would have a VERY hard time on that...even with a year old computer, unless your processor and video card are the latest out there, i doubt your computer could handle more than 75 bots without going berzerk

There is no way to tell if it is a pyramid or not, (IF, you've never played it before and was only looking at radar) I believe you are referring to the "Enhanced" radar. And it doesn't show different colors for different shapes, i think it is based on a unit height only...and it shades it ...
