great, how about we implement a bz variable for god mode aswell? take the edge off for the cheaters. lol. i'm not a big fan of the idea tbh, its much work to code it all in, yet how much will it really bring to the game? it would render many flags useless, and mean that people could just be lazy, be...

lol, the devs april fools joke was definitely better. it helps when you have access to change the site, for example the banned message on last years, or this years changed to www.bzflag.org cheating, swearing allowed on mets servers? i think not :) but still its a funny concept in itself, bzfx using...

heh. the joke got lots of people, i was laughing in my seat. honorable mentions massive applause goes to the people who made the joke, for managing to be creative enough to come up with something believeable even though an april fools joke was expected. dishonorable mentions constitution, for coming...

This is a great direction for BZFlag to go!
WZFlag will allow for lots of expansion graphics-wise, and gameplay wise.

for anyone looking to know what we are talking about, check out the new and improved www.bzflag.org

Personally I would like to see less than 30 servers (there are rarely more than 20 with players on them anyway), and let them use mapchange plugins or rotations to change the maps around. Assuming that these 30 servers had good bandwidth, this would probably enhance the quality of gameplay, and enc...

BZflag does do speed of sound and Doppler shifting of positional sounds as it mixes, using the source of the sound in the computation. So that's the reason that the SW sound sounds goes one octave up when I'm killed. Since my speed is no longer defined, it goes to a preset setting. ive always wonde...

i may be able to get my hands on a friends server for an australian hix map. but dont rely on that, i dont know his speed

i suggest emailing the owners of 'yowl.org' and see if they might help you out

Another feature might be if the "drive with", "follow" or "tracking" modes would allow you to see what another observer is looking at. Many times while exploring a new map with another player, while both of us are observer, I or the other person would say something lik...

though i tend to find that even very small amounts of lag tend to affect the hit zone

try hosting a server and if not make a copy leagly and have ppl play on it that sentence makes no sense to me ;) the old bzfx when i was 180 was back when geno was 3-shot, etc, the same as when the transparent things were just pyramids i believe my lag on the new bzfx was 230, i dont know where it ...

please note that you also have to ask one of the gu league admins to add you to the list in order to talk or spawn

hi. ive been working on a new map, and its all fine but i just have some issues to do with the eye candy of the map ;) ive written out the part of the map that needs some touching up (i click the add an attachment button and it just refreshes the page ) *note, please dont get mad that i'm probably g...

as far as flags go, its a good idea, but in my opinion its just not worth it to add a flag that gives you the radar because non-radar maps just arent popular enough.
its making a flag that applies to about 20 of the 210 servers that are in the list, about 3 of which are used

kind of ashamed to say ive been playing since 2.0.4, so thats like around april last year i guess? in my time i have only been muted a couple of times by brad for fun (the mutes lasted like 30 seconds) i also managed to get banned on 1 server, its a 2.1 server that i ACCIDENTALLY crashed. (the owner...

Hi, i dont do plugins myself but on behalf of alec i'd like to request a plugin that changes the _skyColor to the teams color upon cap. so for example, if red caps on green, the sky color is changed to red, and vice versa if you want you can make it for just a red vs green ctf, but if you feel like ...

hmm, i am also in australia.
i dont know where the old bzfx used to be located, but before the server move my lag on that was about 180, which isnt bad.
generaly i just try to make sure i play on the american servers when i play gu league and that (shellshock, quol etc).

whoah. just checked out davy's profile - 5.63 posts a day ;). is this a popular pc magazine? - sorry i wouldnt know, we have different ones in australia. another question ( i was thinking about launching it as a topic but it seemed a bit to small a question. or maybe it isnt.. ill say it anyway) do ...

if you want, you can press esc, bring yourself back to the menu, in the background you can see everything clear as day. when you go back to the game it glitches up again.

for these sorts of questions we need more information to answer them. ie: What is your operating system? Do you have a router? Have you made the proper exceptions on your firewall/router? Can we have a copy of your conf file so we can verify it is correct? Is this supposed to be a public server? (if...

on the assumption that we are not talking 3 home server that would have lots of lag, i would reccomend browsing through sourceforge as well, where i often find there are maps that are great but never got hosted. try to find something original, as in we already have quite a few laser sniping servers ...

wow, that is a great idea. imagine a map (obviously with no radar) which is just a maze of all these mirrors, and you saw all the enemy tanks in the mirrors but didnt know when to shoot and when not to.
sounds brilliant.

wow, there is some publicity for you.
its nice to know that its not just the games that have companies to pay a lot of money for them that get mentions in magazines, etc
i guess its a pat on the back to the people who made the game

if you are willing to foot the bill for packaging and getting stores to actually sell it then go ahead, but i think that bzflag is best keeping away from all money related things.

i know it would be nice to have a flag that could rebound laser but it is unnecessary to create a flag that counters laser when laser already been balanced out with cloak

cmon, at least give us some general ideas to push us in the right direction

would you chuck a kid in the water and ask him to develop his own swimming technique?

(that wasn't intended as an insult)
