Very nice, I like the idea of castle warfare with castle warfare with forts so close together. However, the areas to the sides of the castles are kind of open.

Screenies please! (a lot of people [including me] don't have the time to download and open it in an editor hehe)

Sparky1.... No offence but this sounds more like showing off your knowledge then an actual suggestion for a flag :wink: . Anyways, as everyone else has pretty much made clear, quantum physics is probably something 1 in 75 average people know about at all, and there are much less people who actually ...

If you have a good map, why not put it under Map Releases and see if people like it? If its good, maybe somebody will host it for you. They might give you admin, they might not. It depends on how trustworthy they think you are.

That's a really awesome map Jefenry, just looking at it makes me appreciate the effort you put into it (especially with those world weapons ). Good job.

*Once again* (no offence whatsoever):

a) Most likely too hard to code into the game.

b) Would make the game too complicated.

I think a 2v2 tournament map would be very interesting. I would certainly join.

(Showing us the map so far would also be nice...)

After getting around to play a bit on the new missile war (finally), I've decided to revise my definition. Camping with laser is the worst. It requires absolutely no skill whatsoever except fast reflexes and hand-eye coordination. We have other games (and aspects of BZflag) for that. It's also just ...

Even without textures, that map looks great.

It looks a lot like Bloodbath (with the ramps and stuff), did you get the idea from that?

Units? Could you clarify on that please? If it means certain players who specialize in that flag then yes, that would be VERY helpful if you could actually get people to do it in a regular game. :wink: P.S. Good luck with that... If you mean an actual feature in the game then probably no, It would b...

Amazingly cool but...

somebody has wayyyyy too much time on their hands

Ack!

However, I think I will have some from Incoming! and the new missile wars soon.

I agree with OPTIMUSprime at the top of the page: It really depends on weather you are camping or sniping. Sniping requires skill, camping does not. They're hard to define, but generally I'd say sniping is shooting from afar (or maybe not) or in a hard to reach place, with ST or GM or L or something...

Just a tip: radar-free maps (like Mystic Valley) are fun, but as a beginner you should make sure that you don't get used to relying only on your main screen (aka "out the window"). Using radar is a VERY important skill, and I know plenty of people (most of them very very good) who use only...

Yes, I love 3-team ctfs, and after the hit of your first map, I can't wait to see this one!

I especially like the more complex base/castles.

The mousebox is the big square in the middle of the screen. If you use the mouse to steer, your speed and direction are based on the distance from the center of the box and relative position of the mouse from the center of the box, respectively. Having a larger mousebox gives you a larger "reso...

Welcome Beenz, sorry to find your first experience of the BzFlag community hostile. Trust me, we're not all like that. Most the the players you will see more than once and therefore get to know are friendly, rule abiding, and generally non-noob-calling. BzFlag is hard when starting out, so you will ...

Hehe me too... Welcome back whoever you are

About the different classes of tanks: Another example of making the game too complicated. Most people play bzflag (and not Halo or something) because of its beautiful simplicity. Tank classes would disrupt that. (A buddy list would be cool though :D ) P.S. That clip is just a Flash (probably) animat...

Tank, he's right. Having moving turrets makes the game too complex with extra keys and animations needed. Also, it takes away important aspects of the game, mainly using ricochet effectively. P.S. MANY people have discussed this before and it has officially been NO'ed, maybe it would have been a goo...

Save the screenshots in JPEG format so they will be small enough to attach here.

Here are some more of flying_popcorn.

Speaking of unoriginality, I once had this guy named TKER, and he, uh, was tking. Really.... thats kind of lame if you ask me.

I'm best at staying alive to defeat large groups of enemies single-handed, and very quickly aiming and firing with laser to hit somebody before they hit me (like a quick draw ). Also I'm good at dodging and driving gms, genoing, and i'm ok with ST.

Never mind blast, its fixed. Thanks Winny.
