As some of you have probably figured out, this was an April Fools joke and I made the map. Discussion on the map is here.

This is a map I've really been wanting to make ever since the Battle of Normandy came out last year. I've put it off, and eventually made an aircraft carrier out of 1.0 objects but it didn't seem right. So, I scrapped that and decided I would have to do it with Wings. It's not completely historicall...

I'm sorry forum, my fingers hurt typing that... help! i was playing bzflag a few days ago and i found a relly relly cool map!! it had battleboats that could shoot...i saw the big guns shoot down tanks out of the air!!! :shock: :twisted: the map had islands and palmm trees and airplaincarriers too! a...

Missile War is set up so you only get 5 jumps with wings, while Planet Mofo lets you jump 5000 times.

Could somone like post a website that I could download BZEdit or something, because I can not find any... I Googled it and everything, butII can not find an downloads? if you can not put a website, the sugest what I should search. Thanks! :( :( :) :) :D :D http://my.bzflag.org/w/BZEditWin32 Ten sec...

The map will have death physics and rico. I could live with a shockwave after dying by either of those methods, if there's no way to determine if you killed yourself by delete or not.

I've been working on a map recently that would benefit from a plugin similar to shockwave death. I had in mind if a player hit delete their tank would explode with a shockwave, but any other type of death wouldn't result in the shockwave. I have no plugin making knowledge, so would someone be willin...

ok was my tank ever going to drop the CB flag their was no timer and the space bar dident drop it I'm not quite sure if that was a question or a statement, but there's an easy fix to the problem. Open up your map file in a text editor and add one or more of the following under the options: -sa -st ...

My opinion, but I think that combining the momentum flag with steam roller would be fun (but I'd prefer to take the momentum name). I don't think that's such a bad idea for a server variable. Something along the lines of _srMomentumLinAcc, _srMomentumAngAcc, and _srMomentumFriction. They could be a...

i thought i'd let you know. Thanks, the map is going through a lot of changes right now. I'm trying to find a solution that is closest to what I want as well as what other people like. And hopefully not too confusing :). I like the idea of using the tiny flag as a ball, but working out the kinks is...

> Question- What is the maximum number for _maxFlagGrabs? I've heard of a problem with 255 flags on the field, > and was wondering if there is a limit. _maxFlagGrabs only gives you the number of how many times you can pick a flag up before it respawns. It has nothing to do with how many flags are o...

I think it would be even better if the full attention of the players could be focused on a single flag ("ball"), but it's great fun anyway - check it out, if you haven't. Oh, and play is limited to six at a time (at least when I played, it was), so if it's busy you might have to sit on th...

Cheat client detected!! I'm pretty sure that green tank in your last picture is using the "artillery flag."

Heh, it looks good though. Especially the rat in the first picture.

It's generally a good idea to learn how to start your server through BZFS, but you should put your maps in Library/Application Support/BZFlag/worlds/ to use the Start Server button in the client.

This afternoon I made a ctf map based on the Mesoamerican Ballcourt . I made the basic map in iBZEdit, and then finished it up by hand. There's no cover, so dodging and jumping to different levels is a must. The sloping walls down the sides bounce shots upward to cut down on rico. Four players per t...

Did you use Kensington software to map the forward button to be "m" and the rear button to be "n"? That's the part, in Intellipoint, that I am not getting to work. No, I just clicked the thumb buttons on the Change Key Mapping screen. They come up for me as "Mouse Button 6&...

Hmm, that's weird. I have the forward thumb button as message the team, and the rear thumb button as jump. Although I do have a completely different mouse (Kensington PilotMouse Optical Pro) from Sky King. I find those two buttons to be quite handy.

Try rotating your model -90 or 270 degrees. That should get your model right side up. For a .obj editor, try Blender or Wings3d . You might also want their .bzw plugins: Blender and Wings3d . The general consensus is that Wings is easier to learn than Blender, but Blender can do quite a bit more.

Pretty cool! Was this planned out, or did you just take screen shots when you saw a letter?

Edit: I'm an idiot. For some reason I though those were other peoples shots... not yours.

hmmm... one thing I noticed (might just be me) is the main screen shows you outside the big central "box" at mofo, but on the radar, it shows you are in/on the "box" It's pretty blurry, but I think he's in one of the tunnels that cut through the central box. You're only seeing o...

Try bzfs24.servegame.com:5154. Evidently he didn't get a chance to restart the server last night, because it's on the list when I searched. It was made by tj13820.

Download this plugin: http://trepan.bzflag.bz/wings3d_to_bzw_1.1.tar.gz and save it to your desktop. Then open up Wings3d, and go to File->Install Plugin. Find the file you downloaded to your desktop, and select it. Then click open. After making your object, go to File->Export. There's a list of exp...
