I don't see any mention of connecting to the maps here. This is clearly a website issue.

Implement a custom spam kicker if you are inclined to needing to kick other players that do have spam messages to make sure the command in question is not included in that. Better yet, just do that for any slash command the user tries to run. However, I highly recommend just using spam warning times...

What blast is saying is read it so you do not ask any further questions about what is new or different from the old version. And since you said you figured out -public is now -publictitle , it means that you were unaware of the differences to begin with. So just make sure you read through it so you ...

If you are still trying to run a server from 2.0.X to 2.4.X please make sure you know the changes between those two. I updated http://wiki.bzflag.org/Public_Server about 2 weeks ago, so it is accurate for 2.4.0. Might want to read that thoroughly. The obvious thing is that you now need a public key,...

I agree with Mark_IV, very nice game concept. May I also make the suggestion to instead of going radar-less just making the team flags radar-less? _hideTeamFlagsOnRadar is now a variable, and if your only intent of disabling radar is to remove the flag, better to use this variable and allow players ...

Of course, for all we know, it could have been us just searching for BZFlag instead of others hearing about it. So perhaps this is directly related to the popularity of the game at the time instead of how many people actually found BZFlag.

Google Insights created a way to view search trends over time. I would think they just counted raw search queries and smashed it into one graph. I thought it would be interesting to look at BZFlag's trend over time. You probably already know the result, but I thought it was of interest to other play...

So im asking, can the water and lava be made more realistic? like water could be seen through and lava like shining strong every some time? Water can be given an alpha value in the Material that is applied to the water mesh and the lava can be dynamically shining bright red like lava heating up and...

I think we all know by now this was posted in the wrong category... Anyhow, I see that ADEPT by ahs3 is currently up. This map is a wide map with two bases on either end of this sort of hexagonal shape to the map. It partly resembles HIX due to its three layers, but the wideness of the map makes it ...

However this is not to be restricted to possible workarounds , which have to be done often to make features players want work. For example, we can simply kick the player on their death, or prevent them from spawning anymore. I am pretty sure you do not know this, but there was a plugin awhile back c...

Could it reference Strayer's League Strength Index and involve that in team-balancing? I'm just a teen though so I have no idea what's practical and what isn't :P My Strength Index is highly inaccurate due to the fact that I play on HTF Maps often, which means high negative scores. This would not b...

On that last stage maybe you should add a few gaps so the people that have been alive for four minute and are screwed at the back at least have a chance. :wink: Or maybe knowing what will happen next it part of the gameplay? :? I am still debating whether or not to do this. Maybe instead of just im...

Greetings all. In my recent endeavors with making maps, I have decided to try a genre that has not been explored to a very far extent, which is many bullets on screen for players to dodge. I know that in the past there have been a few maps that tried to use either wwzones with the aid of the wwzones...

UserDB keeps track of each player's groups that join. It keeps track of all LOCAL groups. So for example, if you add someone to the LOCAL.ADMIN group, the userdb file saves that. Later if you use that userdb elsewhere, the same user that logs in will have that group. groupsdb lets you specify the gr...

While on the subject of the new plugin, Thank you all for testing and finding issues with the plugin. One clarification that may be twisting this a bit more is that some players start with the greeting "hi guys" and get immediately removed. I am not under the impression that anything you s...

All my servers are hosted by me, therefore they all are connected in terms of ban lists.

OoO is the person that built me my server, and I am the one that is using it.

Yes 1st of all, use Fedora 14, its alot better. than it is simple. Thanks for telling someone something that will not help them, I am sure they made a conscious decision to use Ubuntu. Welcome to the world of Ubuntu! Setup for BZFlag will require a bit of setup on your part, but there should be ple...

Again, a topic in the wrong place...Read the topics and actually pick the correct place it should be going in! In this case, either "General Discussion" or "Fansites", though Fansites is more geared toward the release of new websites, not necessarily discussion of them. In additi...

and i think you cant [lock-on] if you use somesort of a plugin. This can be done with the server variable _forbidIdentify by setting it to 1. I would expect _forBidHunting would be also set up. The idea sounds pretty interesting, we/I may try something with it in the future. I have always wanted a ...

strayer's BZStats however has been tracking 5 minute playing sessions.

For example, my playing time according to http://bzstats.strayer.de/players/stats ... battlezone is 92 days, 14 hours, and 15 minutes.

It is fairly accurate.

now you guys, are doing so called "important" things like plug-ins, updates, handling big things...but is that really that important? Maybe you misunderstood what the rank stood for. The rank represents what you have done to help with the BZFlag project, not with the community of BZFlag i...

blast wrote:Yep, server issue right now. The images.bzflag.org site isn't working at the moment.

As an extension to that, you will find wiki.bzflag.org to be down also, since they are both hosted from the same server.

If you are referring to the Observer mode labels, you can enable them with the 'L' key by default. Note that as a player you cannot view the labels, however you can still identify players that are not hidden with the 'I' key. I believe that was what you were looking for.

1 Hour is such a quick time. Divibox, if I recall correctly started at 1 hour, but later switched to 4 hours as it was proved to be more beneficial to all players.
