Ok, I have redone all the compiling process, and before doing "sudo make uninstall" I started bzflag staying on the directory of bzflag-2.4.0 by doing "bzflag". the game opened, and it worked fine... the wheel down worked and also the F4 key :D all work! So I tried to do "bz...

I'll post the result... but is in Italian :( but i can translate, is only a line :) giorgio@giorgio-F3JC:~$ cd Scaricati -> my download directory. giorgio@giorgio-F3JC:~/Scaricati$ cd bzflag-2.4.0 -> the bzflag 2.4 extract folder. giorgio@giorgio-F3JC:~/Scaricati/bzflag-2.4.0$ sudo make uninstall [s...

Actually I don't have any version of bzflag that work correctly. I deleted the fonts folder, and the only thing i need to solve this, is uninstall 2.0.16 and reinstall it using my packages manager of my distro, Ubuntu 11.04. Now, the only thing that disallow me do that is the 2.4 version already ins...

yes yes, my bzfs is up to date, don't worry...

The terminal said me that the command make has no rules to be run... and the procedure stops. So, if I uninstall 2.4, all will return like before... But, 2.4 won't be removed. :( Ah, the 2.4 now can't run, i have deleted the bzflag-2.4.0 directory under /usr/local/share/ So, should I redo the compil...

Well, i think i'm going to wait that my distro put bzflag 2.4 on the repositories or that I have much time to do tries... So, because there are not enough players and servers on 2.4 i thought Could reinstall 2.0.16 for playing well for a bit... i have also 2.4 installed, and if i install 2.0.16 and ...

I installed all the necessary packages... nothing worked

That's the output:

Thank you, now i can found the right directory and I can change Textures :) cool. OK, blast, I don't know how I have do that, but using the config file, i have set the fire with Wheel Down. and If i go in the game under options, change key mapping, on fire i see Wheel Down! All the other GUI setting...

Ok, thank you blast, but i have already installed 2.4 using the instructions of Macskeeball... Now 2.4 is installed, (and running by terminal "bzflag" it run 2.4) but in usr/share/bzflag there is nothing! So i don't know how change textures (I use Winny's one)...I tried to put texture here...

ok, if I have already bzflag 2.0.16 installed, and I have compiled 2.4 by myself, what is the command of this new version of bzflag (2.4) ? Is it like the versions before? only "bzflag" like in 2.0.16? I have to know because if 2.4 have the same command of 2.0.16, i have to remove the 2.0....

Ok, thanks to all, I have solved all my flags problems! and I discovered that the settings you should use a little bit, for solve this problems is _flagHeight.... thank you for help...

Yeah... I test every times maps, my Linux terminal is always on with bzfs running! And, I don't use BZedit, or bzworkbench, or other GUI map Maker programs... I use a text editor, is the best method, but I have problems because I'm not so good at this

15 15 5 for zone or box?

Oh.... good. So my map worked for you, with which settings?
zone at size 15 15 5 or 2 2 5?

First of all you defined a group then never said: group group_house pos 0 0 0 end not exactly... define group_house box position 15 0 10.5 size 15 2 9.5 rotation 90 matref durch drivethrough shootthrough end box position -15 0 10.5 size 15 2 9.5 rotation -90 matref durch drivethrough shootthrough e...

this doesn't work...

post also the map file so you can see better the situation

So what is the result...? I can't put flags on my world in specific areas...?

The flags file worked very very well for me... why shouldn't work as well on my real map? And on my map, there is a box at Z axis 10 equal to Flags file... I can post it... define group_house box position 15 0 10.5 size 15 2 9.5 rotation 90 matref durch drivethrough shootthrough end box position -15...

yeah, the problem is that this: zone name CL-OO-ST_Flags_Center position 0.0 0.0 37.0 size 30.0 30.0 0.0 # Add two OO, two CL, two ST zoneflag OO 2 zoneflag CL 2 zoneflag ST 2 zoneflag GM 2 end zone name SW-CL-L_Flags_Bases position -360.0 0.0 0.0 size 25.0 25.0 15.0 # Add 3 SW, two CL zoneflag SW 3...

And... also in this case there are zones into boxes? And how solve it? I have tried all parameters of size and position...

smart trick sigonasr2.. i noticed that also on MissileWar is like that
thx, now all is solved... thank you a lot

Ah... so:

There's a map setting (it's in the wiki) to adjust the height difference that allows a tank to just hop up onto a raised surface rather than be blocked by it. This is how the low-Z ground object at the base walls in MW functions.

what's the name of this map settings?

Ok, i think the map setting is -set _maxBumpHeight 0.33 but, adding this to my map file, the problem persist.

Yeah, exact, this is the problem... I'm going resize the zone, to prevent them from intersecting with boxes...
thx
