Re: Allowing download from PMofo

Whoop, it looks like the wiki is out-dated. I don't have a Mac at the moment, so I'm going to guess and say it's at ~/AppData/Local/BZFlag/DownloadAccess.txt. I remember reading about it being in there one time...Hope I'm right. :P

Re: Allowing download from PMofo

Your DownloadAccess.txt should be in the 2.4 config directory, but one directory level back. They are listed here: http://wiki.bzflag.org/Config_File

So yours would be in

~/Library/Application Support/BZFlag/DownloadAccess.txt

Re: Plugin Request Thread

Hows about a plugin that will restore your score if it was positive when you last left. If it was negative, its ignored and nothing is done, you come back with zero. Would encourage people to switch teams in CTF, or just to return in general. Plugin Restore Score has been requested and added to the...

Sorry for the late reply. There are no dividends in BZStocks as far as I'm concerned. Did not find any need for them unless you want to suggest a way to make that happen.

Re: Why so few matches?

Yeah, it may come as a shock, but once you realize the game itself, you'll notice that it is not all too surprising. The game has been declining over the years as nothing new was being added to the game and players were migrating to different things. Maybe life finally caught their attention or bett...

It is done privately, so I assumed that an observer that joined and left would not be a very harmful feature. A player from BZStocks will be the only one that triggers such a thing, so if it's really a big issue with something that doesn't occur very frequently and only when a player is actually onl...

Re: BZStocks - The BZ Population Decides

1. One nice feature would be to have the highs, lows and averages for each specific time-frame(24hours,3days,week, etc.) on the individual servers info page. The All Time highs and lows are fairly worthless because, for instance, PMAIA2's all time low is 0.1, but since the Apocalypse(Map) has been ...

Re: CHESVAL summer 2012

Sounds like this is a "pop in and you get to play" sort of deal, correct? Assuming the player counts don't hit 20 on both teams, will the team captains be fairly lenient about the picks? Great thing to do for a memorial event, will be making an appearance.

In terms of integration, I don't mean actual game integration.

Funny thing, was thinking about this today.
