So... i'm trying to make a map where you don't spawn at your base. However, when I join, I always spawn on the base. I'm using: for the spawn area.
Any ideas anyone?

Could someone post the registration/map/time details in this thread? and delete the other two spam threads?

hrm... running into bricks: same here. (mac OSX 10.6.3)
it happens when you lag slightly into the block... you have to run forward (idk?) to back out slowly... but you are highly vulnerable. Telports idk... hasn't ahppened. I can recreate this on local servers if I do something (f5) to induce lag.

slower.... that's kinda bad. that makes them hard to maneuver. However, taller, wider, longer would definitely help some people... kinda like an inverse handicap. Or, more accurately, actually like a handicap which is something which inconveniences you, instead of helping you.

e.g. teleports with a wall behind them.
or teleports inside a building... they act like a fly trap. Believe me... i've tried. (As anyone who played on the older version of Zoned can contest.)

are you suggesting a plugin to increase size proportionate to score?

Just clarifying: So, if say I'm on the red team, and my partner had the R* whilst I have TH. There is no sound as my partner picks up the R*. However, when I steal it, the game reacts as if a member OF THE OTHER TEAM had grabbed the flag, and uses the *Flag Alert* sound. Then, the message *Flag Aler...

Yes, since there it is considered to be another person grabbing the flag. You will get a *ping* sound and there will be a "Team Grab!" text alert.

hrm... Mac OSX 10.6.3
failed.
Albeit, i may be missing something.
I downloaded the .zip file and ran the .exe through WINE, but that didn't work.

that Geno flag is my ire. And the wws don't help.

fix the sl yet?

and I'd like more tunnels... maybe ones w/ noradar?
and some 1-way shot walls on the flag areas.

1-20 means 1 kill, 20 deaths.
NOT 1 to 20 points.

any precompiled version?-- oh i see, for windows only

And, as has been stated, you will either:
Be ignored, and any kill you make will be attributed to luck
Be watched, and constantly murdered for points.

Unfortunately, this is rather what happens anyways, since new players are easy to identify.

ah, like v2.0 of Earthbound 2.0?

Little bit too powerful, maybe a time delay?

Oh and Number c:
Make a large shockwave cover the entire quadrant, to prevent spawnkilling from that aspect too.
Maybe chuck the 2 flags (v 2.0) and put in 1 jumping, and say 1 geno in the middle? idk.
It just seems too wide and empty for my tastes.

Like sticking a HUGE HONKING TURRET in the middle of the map with, say, a regular shot pattern.

needs
A. bigger teleports
B. more pz/sb flags
C. sw oncap (if not)
D. Turret?

Actually-- its Fast, not Fast Sorted
Fast (not Enhanced) is the best radar style... it shows the most layers and it color-codes them based on relative height to you.

And, given standard Gravity/JumpVelocity, anything Green can be jumped up to, whereas anything blue can't.

Some shots: Did you know, you can only upload 4 attachments?
The insides of the middle
Some of the odder ricochets

What's your opinion about... oh, the TOPIC of this fourm?
E.g.: /flag up on every map?
or... maybe I've missed the point here...
(and a bit of a bump... it's kinda an old topic...heh.)

to easy?
uh.... how rescently did you check this map?

you need better screen shots... find some on the forum.

the center... is impossible. Kinda. I did it twice, but i got it about 15% of the time.
either:
Shrink the upper platform,
Only make the bottom kill you, or
Make none of it kill you, and merely cause you to bounce to a corner.

just trying to clarify, just saying:
When you are tired of the 3D, start bzflag with bzflag -view normal to turn it off.
might not help some people.
