Official forums for BZFlag.org

The new version has been submitted to bzfmaps.net to be hosted. On it you can drive onto the arrows.

Cool map. I thought it was the first, and got quite lost...

I know how to start a test server and become admin on that test server (on Linux, anyway). The code to type into a terminal is: $ cd /path/to/map/and/config/file/ $ bzfs -world world_file.bzw -conf conf_file.conf -password password Then in BZFlag, you join the server and to be admin on it, you type:...

Here is a new release of the map. It is in a .tar archive for your convenience (right...). This is mainly a bug fix release, in which I have fixed the arrows so that you can just drive onto them. The only other updates are some limits on the geno flag, adding two pyramids, and a secret thing you'll ...

Everyone kicks my butt on my map.

I thought you were serious! The "April Fools Joke" was said yesterday.

It is now hosted on:

bzfmaps.net:7032

Since you're on Linux, there is a nice man page on BZW code if you just type in a terminal:
There is a tutorial on the wiki, it can be found here.

I have the same problem. I use all the default settings for the mouse, except scroll down is shoot, and scroll up is jump.

Red vs. blue, or red vs. green I say.

I just used VIM for the editor. The conventions (I think you mean how I put all the objects in groups separated by comments in the BZW file) were just from my programming experience.

They don't have to be distorted, I got them looking a lot better. Just I forgot to take any screenshots of them then.

That it the avatar; you can change it in your profile editing page.

Here's a tip for REAL noobs: the [TAB] key makes you jump into the air.

Yeah. They were really easy to shoot.

I was playing around on my local server to test my new map (you can download version 0.9 here), and started playing around with server variables. Here is what I did. Sorry about the poor quality of the first one.

I will have a name by the time version 1.0 is released. In the mean time, I will codename it "Dinsdale"

I have been working on this map for a while, and think it is just about ready for version 1.0 . It is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. The only things to do I see now are to fill up a lot of the empty area, and possibly fix the arrows a bit. Please give me any comments about this map.

Looks pretty good. Could you please supply the .conf file so I could try it with the proper settings?

Was this map Tower by Gears of War? If it is, then no, it is just part of the map.

One more thing. Where can I get the SVN of it?

That's really a good idea. I hadn't thought about doing that. Thank you.

I guess I'll find it somewhere on the Internet when it is done.

I guess I'll just keep editing maps by hand until BZWorkbench is in the yum repositories.

The real problem is that if I don't want a program anymore, I can't just say something like "rpm -e bzworkbench" or "yum erase bzworkbench" if I compiled the source code. It would be a lot easier to do that than removing a bunch of files that were put who knows where in directori...
