Yes I know its early.... But, When I run bzflag on Fedora Core 5, X11R7 (i810, yeah I know) bzflag fails to get the display resolution right. With bzflag 2.0.8 I use the cmd line bzflag -geometry 1024x768 and this works fine. This issue started with bzflag 2.0.6. 2.0.4 does not do this. I just ran b...

Sorry this is a late post. If you haven't already figured it out the problem is that BZFlag isn't figuring out the correct display setup. Not sure why. I have an Intel video driver as well but this happens on my son's Radeon too. We both are running Fedora 5. Try bzflag -geometry 1024x768. replace t...

I believe the syntax for images on the web should include the protocol (http://) and what I meant by image size is not the total number of bytes but the pixel width and height. For instance http://images.bzflag.org/purplepanzer/robbie.png is 397px in width by 458px in height and 195079 bytes in size...

Spazzy is correct. I looked at the 2.0.6 source. The code does force Po2 alignment. So much for that theory.

I noticed that in viewing the images the sizes were not poers of 2. The image size should be a power of 2, i.e., 512x512 128x128. Usually 1024x1024 is the largest that a 2D texture may be. Try resizing the images.

The offset affects the start time. Add the offset to the start time in other words. Thats why the alpha channel offset is half the period of the color channels in my original post. Alpha channel starts swinging towards transparent after the color channels have reached max. Otherwise the colors would...

dynamicColor name flash blue sinusoid 2 0 1 green sinusoid 2 0 1 alpha sinusoid 2 1 0.6 end material name light dyncol flash end This code makes the material go from clear to red with 2 second period. Notice the color red does not use the sinusoid function (keyword). Basically you're turning on and...

The reason the MTU is set to 1492 on DSL modems and routers is because of the 8 byte PPPOE overhead. Of course PPPOE is Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet, hence the 1500 MTU for ethernet minus the 8 bytes for PPPOE. It's odd that it even logs you in properly with MTU set to 1500. Don't know much...

Hey! That worked!, I was getting 0x6774 code back from the server. Now I see what it is in Protocols.h.

Thanks!!

When I run ./bzfquery alachua.homelinux.net the script fails with 'Died at ./bzfquery.pl line 79' this is the line: die $! unless sysread(S, $buffer, 46) == 46; I changed the script to: $bytes = sysread(S, $buffer, 46); if ($bytes ne 46) { print "bytes read: $bytes\n"; printf "buffer:...

bzfs dies when I try on GNU/Linux

The code is actually a fragment of a larger define block. The base sits on top of a structure. So getting rid of the box won't work. What I did find was that this code does work... box position -85.0 0.0 50.0 size 30.0 35.0 3.0 end base name the_base position -85.0 0.0 53.0 size 30.0 35.0 2.0 color ...

actually the box is at an altitude of 50 units and is 5 units high. the base starts at altitude 55.01 and is 0.0 units high. the base is on top of the box. and the code works on linux clients but not on windows clients. in the second case which works for both clients the box is shortened by 1 unit a...

This code works for windows ?!? rounding error ?

This map code works on Linux and Windows, probably all platforms ( i haven't had any complaints) box position -85.0 0.0 50.0 size 30.0 35.0 5.0 end base name the_base position -85.0 0.0 55.01 size 30.0 35.0 0.0 color 1 end it's inside a define block... however, this code makes windows clients stuck ...
