The server is down for repairs. I wasn't sure if anyone would notice. I'll have something up and running soon. Thank you for your patience.

u hate me dont u thats not nice laserball2 and tomer, There are two kinds of not nice. The obvious one is being rude or sarcastic to people who genuinely want help. The other kind is when someone posts nonsense like what you have. Read the thread, don't use aol baby talk, use complete, well-thought...

Should I replace John Hodgeman?

Spazzy and anomaly are both correct as usual. I have a square version of what they have suggested running at: tedius.dyndns.org:5171 my code looks something like this: physics name spin angular 0.05000 0.0 0.0 linear -50 -50 0 end physics name spin2 angular 0.05000 0.0 0.0 linear 50 -50 0 end physic...

Evanejk, So far you have broken the following written/unwritten rules: 1. You have continued this thread in 5 places, spanning two separate forums. I hope you will stay on this one from now on. 2. There are multiple instances of advice that we have given you that you have not followed. This is irrit...

Sorry about not being clear, Spazzy. Props to you too for making it. CBG and jinx were the ones who schooled me on the history of Normandy. One of whom had a much more patient teaching style... but I won't mention who.

;)

Hear hear! DTRemark I learned quite alot about Normandy since I started playing the map. (props to CBG and jinx) Just becoming aware of the history makes the map completely worth it. I think historical maps are a great idea if they are well researched and representative. As for the lopsidedness of N...

I think it is best to just keep it simple by returning to the concept of a separate flag-capping and carrying score from the normal score. We are after all just talking about a couple of numbers next to your name. People trying to rack up points by exploiting the idea will just be seen as lame, and ...

That stuff is good stuff. It is what you get when you turn on debugging with the "-dd" in the config. I don't see an error, I suppose it may be time to look at router configuration issues. Google for "port forwarding" and look up the manual for your router model to configure it t...

Murtagh, here is a tutorial on downloading images you may find helpful:

I think it would be enough just to show the flag cap stats along-side the score. When only one person is doing the capturing his or her score usually goes down the tubes because everyone is aiming at that person. If I had a score of -40, I would be happy enough saying, "Yeah, but look, I have 4...

Interesting, and it requires some brainpower. Not for the dim of wit.

Personally, I think your iPod picture would make a great signature except without the animated text. It is a clever enough idea that you don't have to knock people over the head with it.

In our overhyped world, it is the understated that stands out.

I like the idea of a Risk-like, territory-conquering map. It would take teamwork and strategy, two things I'd like to see more of in BZLand. How does this scenario sound?: Red versus Green. Eight blue island bases surrounding a central island. Flags can only be captured if you have at least 1 other ...

I rate myself 7.85 in dodging slow bullets, a 9.35 in accuracy when my target is right in front of me, a 9.54 in winning when my teamates are real good, and a 9.789 in the category of humility.

Oh yeah, also my sarcasm rating is currently on the rise.

I'm having trouble coming up with a witty response to this post. Can someone give me some ideas? I want it to be sarcastic, but not too biting.

Thanks in advance
:)

I know I'm stubborn, but I like to hand code my maps. I've used blender, I've followed the tutorial, and I've even exported it to my map. Obviously if I want to make something complicated like a volcano, I would want to use a modeler. Its just moments like the one big_daddy had that make me want to ...

psst, thats your cue, real programmer....

Thanks anomaly, that does help, Correct me if/where I'm wrong... if I were to code this by hand, i wouldn't need this part so much: # vertices: 8 # normals: 6 # texcoords: 4 # faces: 6 It seems that blender just spits that out for it's own indulgence. Instead, I would label the vertices, and normals...

I rolled up my sleeves and hand-coded a mesh. (actually I just ripped it from an existing map and changed the coordinates) I have no idea what most of the stuff means, but it seems to work. (texcoord wha?) I just needed a simple flat box you could jump up through and land on top of, like the castle ...

For those of us who code by hand, is there anyway to do this with a meshbox?

That makes a lot of sense. The event is all one occurrence and the message reflect it that way. I find it annoying to sort through pages of useless information in the chat window.

I'm all for it.
