The good thing is, there are still many leagues you can play on that are free of these obnoxious players, since they're not all that intelligent, they can't really figure out how to join a league and annoy people within there. I can never do anything on bloodbath, as most players will park and begin...

I was thinking about something like that, but I was waiting until bzworkbench came out. If you want to add on to it, go ahead. It'll probably be better than anything I could ever make. Anyways, great map-again. Another mini-map could be a dense forest with many trees that players have to navigate th...

I still don't think this is good, but you could possibly turn this into a bad flag. When you pick it up, you can't shoot until you reach the antidote for the bad flag. But that would still be pretty hard, to go through a battlefield to reach a flag. Not a implement to the game, but a bad flag.

This is a bad idea. So you have all these people sitting around on the map like lame ducks because they can't move and have no ammo? Or I'm about to capture the flag and run out of fuel just before I get there? No thank you. Not to mention it's just plain annoying.

Hello, this is A Vicious Muffin speaking on behalf of Legolas_ about BZPod. We have decided to work on this project again, as its first "Release" was somewhat...tragic. Starting off on a brand new page, we've restarted what was a very good idea. Again, BZPod will be back, probably before t...

Very nice. It reminds me of another map I can't remember the name of, but better. What flags do you have set? Or do you have any at all?

Amazing. Those cranes look nearly life-like. Another great map.

This could be a problem...

I went on to it, testing it out, got a phantom zone flag on the top floor, zoned myself, fell eight stories, and since there were no teleporters that I could reach, I had to self destruct. Maybe make a few more that phantom zones on the bottom can reach?

My nicer mouse I didn't actually buy for bzflag, I got it for just everyday use-but it's really nice and durable. http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_mediaplay_cordless_mouse.html I don't know why people have to spend so much money on these mice. The other one I have is sufficient enough, and you ...

Okay, now that you have a basic understanding of what the size will be, you should make a drawing or plan to figure out what objects there will be. Counters? Tables? Food? All this should be in your plan before you dive in head first. And a 7-11 type map won't be easy. It sounds even harder than &qu...

Narrow and tiny are quite good against burrow, especially head on. Not too great against laser, but in my opinion, good against guided missile. Agility and high speed are good against guided missile on most normal servers. Thief is only good for killing with the flag itself on burrow, but I would cl...

I must say, that was a very inspiring interview. I may try to learn more about mapping in the future because of that. Thanks CBG.

Even if you could do this, just thinking of the amount of lag it would cause would give me headaches.

I'd say 4 for me, possibly up to 6 on very good days.

Considering the amount of people that actually use the email string to put their actual email in it, I suggest that we change it to either say "Signature" or erase it altogether. I have only seen a few people put their email in it, much more others put in their team names, slogans, sayings...

Go look at all the servers up and running right now. Some servers are based heavily on dodging, others, flag capturing, and some just a freestyle/miscellaneous type. You can base your idea off of maps you already have seen by making it different, or make an entirely new idea or style that we haven't...

If I gave you my ideas for a map, then it would be my map, wouldn't it?

There's binoculars in this game? I didn't realize. :roll: Seriously, how much would you use this? As Grace F said, "Perhaps yes sometimes on an all out sniping map", that would be the only time you'd use it. And how many of these servers are there? 1? 2? When creating a flag idea, you shou...

I think he's saying he wants louman to create two of his homes for him on either sides of the road for him with different teams so he can play on it. If you want it to happen, learn up on it and make it. Now back on topic....It looks great. Your The Train would fit in nicely with this setting. I ass...

I haven't seen it before, but to me, the more styles you're good at, the better all-around player you are.

Aye.

Nothing. And none of the posts on this page have done anything to help c2water solve his problem.

I think it's something to do with your connection, if I'm not mistaken. Every time this happens to me, my dns server is down.

But the problem is, one of them is considered a cheat, to Jeff, and it is to me too. Not a very good one, but a cheat all the same. And the other ones, excluding the circular aim, are useless to most players, as I explained in my previous response(ie; We already have them or we wouldn't need them). ...

Anways, if there was a nuke, it could create an EMF (ElectroMagnetic Field), maybe twice the radius of the nuke. EMPs are huge. A nuke tested over 1000 miles from Hawaii (spelling?) blew out lights in the islands. Soooooo: NuclearBomb (NB). Soooooo: NuclearBomb (NB). How would this work? Something ...

I don't think so. PowerShortage: I feel that this is too difficult to play with. A small radar on a map is bad, and a "half-jamming" flag just makes it worse. A delay in shot is just icing on the cake. I say nay to this idea. ChainShot: Possibly, but I think this is way too powerful. Would...

Well duh :P Very good answer.... :roll: #1. Why not use the radar? And if you were either on a no-radar map, had jamming, or for some reason turned it off, would it really help you? You would know they were close, but you wouldn't know where, which is more important. #2. I think an option might be ...
