Official forums for BZFlag.org

I guess my other questions would be:
What operating system are you using?
Which version of BZFlag are you running?

Weird, it seems to be a 7334 byte file that contains just null bytes (so, not empty, but unprintable characters). Just deleting the config file was enough to fix it. Was there anything about the last time you played that might have been different than normal? A crash? Running multiple clients at onc...

Could you check the contents of your configuration file by using a text editor (such as Notepad on Windows)? If it contains a bunch of readable text, could you remove the password line and send me a copy via a private message ? Otherwise, if it's just blank or otherwise unreadable, could you also se...

BZGRUE.OWNER

Done.

Well that's not how the API works. Another suggestion would be to define a custom map object that defines a valid spawn point and then pick one of those locations. Then the map would have a list of known good locations coded into it.

Use the bz_getStandardSpawn function to get a valid spawn location for a player somewhere in the world, or bz_getSpawnPointWithin to get a valid spawn location within a custom zone object.

Or just add an API function...

While the design of the game allows for the server to tell a player to spawn, I don't believe the bzfs API exposes a way to do that.

BZGRUE.ADMIN

Done.

The -f option only affects randomized flag generation (which is controlled with the -s or +s option). The +f option adds a flag even if -f matches a flag. If your goal is to always have 150 flags at random, except for the OO flag, then just leave the "+f good" out of your configuration. If...

The image has been approved and I believe it should email you with the final URL.

bztoolkit is archived and was last updated in 2017. It also bypasses the API, which may be why you're having problems. The reason we have an API is to expose a (somewhat) stable interface. When you bypass the API, there's almost a guarantee we'll break something on you eventually.

Dunno. It all worked fine for me when I built 2.4.24 on Devuan 4.0, 3.1, and 3.1 w/ curl from backports. Maybe just use our flatpak version of the game for now.

Hmm, are you saying the system is partially upgraded to 4.0? I do notice that curl in Devuan 3.1 is only 7.64.0, but you have 7.74.0 which is from Devuan 4.0. That partial upgrade is likely the source of your problems.

I tried with Devuan 4.0 (with the default Xfce environment) and compiled 2.4.24 from a git clone. It worked fine with all three of the libcurl4-*-dev packages. Try running the game client with debug level 4. That will write out detailed information about the curl connections being made. Just the MOT...

Are you seeing our three "Message of the day" messages in the chat box right after starting the client? Currently you'd see these three lines: Having issues with the server list? Try upgrading your OS and check the forums BZFlag 2.4.24 is now available. Download now! Due to recent turmoil ...

See if it works now. I noticed there was some code in our central server that restricted which symbols were allowed in a password, so that might have been the issue.

I'm moving this from "Plug-in Releases" to "Plug-in Development", since it isn't a release of a plugin. As for your question. you could make something like our plugin_utils and put your classes/functions in there. There's also Inter-Plug-in Communcations that would let one plugin...

Thanks in advanced.

Done.

We'll likely fix the issue that allows a plugin to bypass the API in a future release. We just need to work out how GCC's visibility support works.

It's also no longer possible to pick a specific shot ID when firing a world weapon.

The server doesn't really know where the shots are at, so you would have to calculate that yourself in the plugin, though I can't recall if PZ shots ignore teleporters. Another thing you can't do is override the shot the client fires, so theirs would still be a normal shot that might ricochet.

I don't know if Ubuntu really cares about Flatpak since they are pushing Snaps. We (the dev team) should look into why the snap is failing since that's something we maintain.

Since macOS 10.11 is quite old and hasn't had updates from Apple since October 2018, it does not trust the new Let's Encrypt certificate, so you'd have to manually install an updated root certificate to your system. Try installing this updated certificate to your system: https://letsencrypt.org/cert...

Which version of the game? Which version of macOS?

The server message on SpiralZone revisited says it's by BzDoug and Wiz. I don't know if that version of it existed back in the 1.x era though. I only remembered playing in the versions I saw on SF.net.
