Making a city map for urban combat?

Wow...
Yeah...
LouMan get's mad props for the awesome map in my public message and the srvmsg.
I added rain, my time zone, a few more flags and an aerial combat area
Now if I could just figure out the -groups stuff I could assign a admin or 3.

Your welcome... Considering how it's been going I'll keep it up for a good while

I was playing bridges today. T'wis a cool idea

I immagine you could have compiled the source. On Linux, that's what I had to do. Actually, I still have my friendly libcurl sig :lol-old: I don't think i'm advanced enough to compile anything :( I tried slipstreaming an XP Pro install disc with service packs and where it said it worked it wouldn't...

Again thanks

Oh wait. Do I leave -nomasterbanlist on if I have -banfile "mybanfile.txt"?

I have no alternative. It's apparently a bug many run into on windoze boxen that the masterbanlist crashes bzfs. I guess I will have to manually ban ip/ipsubnets with my firewall if I get cheater problem. Any way I can quickly call up everyone's actual IP through the console while logged in as admi...

The more I look at this the more I think it's a larger time investment than I can afford. I would like to have made a downtown area, skyscrapers all around and in the middle a city park with tree's and benches.
I'll just leave the idea here and maybe somebody will like it enough to try.

I've been looking through the TimeTrials in a notepad.... And I realize your building building kung fu is much greater than mine :shock: I wish to make a very different map but I was hoping you would share how to make a simple building just like the ones you use. So it would be easier for me to then...

So your up? You realize unless you ban someone, everyone (including the filthy cheaters on the master banlist) will be allowed into your server. I have no alternative. It's apparently a bug many run into on windoze boxen that the masterbanlist crashes bzfs. I guess I will have to manually ban ip/ip...

Thanks Bryjen, DTR and wegstar! Problem fixed.

I had to -noMasterBanlist to get up and running.

I decided to avoid completely hijacking this thread. I started a new one and just now posted the info you're asking... http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=31032#31032

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

With this: -publicaddr 67.10.210.195:5123 I get: ******************************************** Running a public server with the following settings: public address is 67.10.210.195:5123 LIBCURL: (null) ******************************************** And an illegal operation box from windows.

I'm running into libcurl errors. I'm using these commands -public "blah blah" and -publicaddr 67.10.210.195:5123 I ran some -ds in the conf file and I see that the last thing it hits before it tries to close is a libcurl problem when I attempt to use the above -public commands :( Any help?

Basically, once you add your -public and -publicaddr line to your .conf file(s), you should be seen on the public list server... Well. I did some final tweaks. Got the time thing to auto start fixed, gravity, wing flaps, shots etc set. I added the: -public "blah blah" and -publicaddr 67.1...

You do not have to set up groups and users if you do not want to. I have only recently added that feature to my servers, because I am having trouble keeping up with them; I am recruiting a few 'cops' right now. Basically, once you add your -public and -publicaddr line to your .conf file(s), you sho...

What is involved in getting listed public?
Do I need to do anything with setting up registered users and picking/setting up admin's. ETC...

Looks good - what is the box in the middle? Kinda looks out of place... Again, thanks - when are you going to put it on the list server? Hrm dunno Was hoping to get more feedback on it from peeps first. That and I'm still dinking with it. At my kids request I increased it to lotsa shots and was eve...

Yep. I confirmed what you have experienced. I fixed my time problem. But the maps sun positions is relative to the local computer time and not the server.

You can set server vars at server startup using the bzfs option -vars varfile.dat and put the seeings you want in varfile.dat eg. --- contents of varfile.dat --- set _rejoinTime 0 set _wingsSlideTime 0.5 set _maxBumpHeight 0 --- end of varfile.dat --- Set whatever server variables you need. HTH, Th...

Remember Dark Lord’s castle from the movie Krull? The one that would transport around :twisted: I know there have been maps with similar features (such as mountains and tunnels) But carry it all out for the theme. If a castle (mountain with different texture and lots of irregular tunnels) can't be m...
