This is some amazing stuff. I'm so glad Lua got brought back in! Time to start learning . . .

Here, encased in groups, are the walls I typically use for bases. They're an interesting setup that make the walls of a team base more color-coded and less boring. The only downfall of doing them this way instead of constructing them manually is that this version skews the texture. You more experien...

Spazzy, I do need to fix the groups - my definitions aren't prefixed with my name. Should I do that now and resubmit or is that part of your cleanup? [EDIT: I'm an idiot. I didn't read thoroughly. Ignore this.]

(If this is in the wrong forum I apologize.) Submissions for the 2010 Collaborator can be attached here. I've finished my squares early, so I followed Spazzy's instructions and made this. Spazzy, upon seeing a submission here, will cross your squares off of the layout as "finished." I beli...

I'd say either Himeji (because it looks extremely playable) or Kumamoto (because the walkways around it and the stone base look like they could create some intriguing gameplay). The others are pretty, but not BZFlag material in my opinion.

This would have been a PM, but careful reading of the thread shows we haven't hit on this topic yet. Therefore, it should become public knowledge. To what forum/thread would you like us to submit our work? Shall we post them here, or PM you, or put them in Map Releases? Also, does it matter what wor...

I played BOTH! Haha. Anyway, I love both of them, ahs.

If zaphod wants some, I'll share another row with him and whoever else needs a spot (that is, if you're willing to increase the size again).

4.4 kilobytes of hand-coded, classic goodness. So as not to deprive anyone of this goodness, it's released as Public Domain. Screenshots attached.

Are F3-5 still open? I'll take a shot at it. If not, I could do C8, D8, and E8. If not those, C7, D7, E7. Basically any three squares adjacent on any edge or corner of each other will work.

-a 0 0 worked. Thanks for tipping me off to that.

I'm making a new map by special request, and I'm interested in replicating a GU-style base in the center so as to allow pyramid jumps. The trouble is, the server is conserving momentum for a small amount of time after landing, so I tend to fall off the pyramid during testing. I've already tried the ...

Funny story - the card turned out to be a 10-yr-old GeForce 2 Ultra. Hardware Drivers did find the correct software. BZFlag appears to be working now, I'll be trying some actual gameplay in just a moment. Thank you, blast, Avatar. That saved my BZLife

I've just switched my system from Debian 5.05 to Ubuntu 10.04. I'm using a GeForce nVidia graphics card (don't know exact specs) that worked on my Debian system. I did an apt-get install for nvidia-current, which is the most recent nVidia drivers. Fine. Before this, BZFlag started but was extremely ...

hosting.bzaddict.net:5182 for the original Odica a.k.a. Ax2-2.

ASAP.

I figured it out! Nice mechanism, it takes a lot of observance.

I know. They're great on tanks. Tiled on walls . . . no'so'mch.

Reworked, slightly less gay base wall textures.

I like it. Good job!

The techniques used by players on this map are influenced by both the GU and Ducati leagues, though the map itself by neither. It is small (half normal size, 200x200) but is packed with various skills including pyramid ricochets, jumping control, and dodging/shooting around unusual angles. I've atta...

Notepad, GEdit, whatever Mac uses - I prefer an extremely minimal text editor. Make sure you understand bzfs, though - you'll screw up if you don't have a local test server running. Trust me.

I got this a while ago but forgot to post it . . . here you go. 3-team Aztec Ballcourt, by Jefenry.

Okay, take 2.
My mesh is basically cubical, but complex and angled so that tanks cannot drive on it. I need some way to still display this mesh, but allow tanks to think they are driving on it. Shall I use inside points and an invisible mesh, invisible meshbox objects, or OD's modeltool solution?
