Does 2.4 have the (I think drawinfo) serverside so tanks can go onto moving objects?

Allow plugins to register custom flag types - Daniel Remenak Does this mean plugin flags will be/are now limited to what plugins can do? That would be/is really cool. That itself might bring alot of people of people back to BZFlag. Yup, I asked the same question. The answer was yes, it is to preven...

Ahh, thanks guys, helped me out

Is there any way to get BZAdmin not to say BZAdmin as the email. Many times I want to just chat with people playing, and the F1 minimized screen can get distracting with all the movement. And god knows how long I'd be banned for BZAdmining others servers. Is there any way to make it look like I'm a ...

Sorry this is a stupid question, but in the changelog it says plugins can now register custom flag types. So is this kind of instead of using useless to make things (Proxy mine) People can wrtie plugins to create their own flags, with their own name and code. (So when zoneing it can be a code other ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you just say what you want your license to be, and that becomes the license for your map.

It was for me too. Read the wiki, it is very helpful. Start simple and work up. I would leave the config for last, and just work on the actual map.

Why not make BZAdmin and Bots (both playing bots and obs logging bots) not count toward the server player number list to avoid this? Some bots don't count as players. Although some do, the -solo bots don't add player count, although you will most likely get banned for using them, and they are extre...

So why do they leave BZAdmin on all the time? I've seen very few people actually use it for its purpose, talk/be an admin without actually watching the game.

Is there any way in the new code BZAdmin could count less than an observer, or not count at all? I hate looking for servers when I can't tell if it is a logging BZAdmin, or an actual person I can talk to. Also, when not many people are on, I see the BZAdmin only servers on the front page. It annoys ...

Sky color or time of day?

Sky color is /set _skyColor [color]

Time of day is default the '-' and '=' buttons.

Looks nice so far. Can't wait to play on it.

I know he called them liars, but I didn't.

I never said he lied. But I do agree it is a terrible review. I just said how to you mistake getting flags for killing tanks.

Yes, the goals aren't stated, but how does picking up superflags seem like the goal in rabbit chase. The goal is clearly to kill the white tank. Especially because it automatically tells you to hunt the rabbit.

That Site wrote:The object of Rabbit Chase is to be the player with the highest score so that you can capture all the white flags

Ummm... how do you mess that up. The goal of rabbit chase is clearly not to capture flags.

Ok, thats what I thought, but just making sure. Thanks for the answers Blast and Joe.

In rabbit chase what are wins and losses?

It can't be that, because if you start, you have been rabbit 0% of the time, yet you start at 50%.

What is with the percents when you play rabbit chase. When you start, you have a score of 0-0, yet you have 50%. If you become rabbit and kill someone, you have 1-0, but not 100%. I just wanted to know why the percents on rabbit chase don't correspond with your score.

Oh, okay. Thanks JeffM. Never saw that before, probably because I usually roam. Thanks for your answer.

I was playing at Easy Tanks server, and this showed up in the chat box.

[Name] Local collision with 2304 from [name]

What exactly does this mean?

Usually it's bad video drivers I don't think it's that. On many maps I play on, if you go too high, the screen looks weird, so why would the video driver crap out, then start working as you get lower. Also, if you roam in observer, and go out far the same thing happens. I think it's just a BZ thing...

Agree perfectly with Bullet Catcher. The bots are extremely stupid, and once you go against other people, your new learned tactics will be useless.

Happens to me sometimes. Type /retexture
