Acknowledged. It's pretty much nothing special for now.

It's known as "Ctrl" elsewhere.

There actually is a list on the website: http://my.bzflag.org/w/Slash_Commands

Strg+F will open a search box that allows you to search for certain text pasages in most text editors.

Strg+F -> "linedradarshots" -> ENTER -> Done.
PS: Better start new topics, makes more sense when you are talking about something else.

There are several around but you probably need to write your own for this particular purpose.

I could only think of a custom random-map-script which applies different density settings for boxes, pyramids and teleporters.
As far as I know there is no specific option to set the teleporter density.

I'm very interested in this topic, too, as I started discussion about it at http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16588. I don't know if a mumble server for the entire BZFlag world would be appropriate or if seperate servers would be the correct solution, but there should definitely someth...

Check if there are newer drivers for your graphics card available at http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx before buying a better (not necessarily brandnew) graphics card.

You probably got old (or wrong) graphic drivers running, as you say your FPS are only dropping when the menu is active, your driver might not be able to handle the menu overlay over the 3D quickly.
Your laptop might not even have a 3D accelerated graphic card or it's a driver problem, too.

The documentation is shipped with the diverse installers and packages and is probably located within the installation directories, it can be found in the SVN repository and there is the BZWiki which provides loads of information on the various topics (including server running). The BZWiki is located...

Well, the changelogs of .14 and .16 don't mention any physics changes (http://my.bzflag.org/w/BZFlag_2.0.14, http://my.bzflag.org/w/BZFlag_2.0.16) but as we know mac, linux and windows versions behave slightly different. As I experienced the bug on my 2.0.12 WinXP client, too, i highly doubt a bug i...

What client on what system does he run then?

You enter the "/reset all" command to fix this.

I was on 2.0.12, I'd rather assume it's a bug in the map code. The racetrack faces could have been turned in the wrong directions for example.

So, where is it?

It's no problem to create moving objects in BZFlag. BUT: Tanks can't interact with them while they are moving. That means: if you drive against a moving object you will go straight through it (like it was passable) because object movements are not synchronized between the clients. Another player mig...

Well, as they havn't got a use yet, you could give them one by replacing other sounds with them and further customise your game with them. Or if you've got free time to spend you could build new features makeing use of them

I'd assemble everything into a single BZW-File and include my callsign into any object names (defines, materials, ...). This way it's very unlikely that anything goes wrong.

Obviously more testing and debugging should probably be done on the coding end of this. Let's do it! enum TeamColor { AutomaticTeam = -2, NoTeam = -1, RogueTeam = 0, RedTeam = 1, GreenTeam = 2, BlueTeam = 3, PurpleTeam = 4, ObserverTeam = 5, RabbitTeam = 6 }; This is the 2.0.12 code that's used to ...

Having rabbit and observer for world weapons wouldn't make any sense as they've got the same color.
Additionaly, the hunter tank shoots rogue bullets/SWs.
I'm pretty sure it's only from 0 to 4 for Ro, Re, G, B and P.

Option 3. Most freedom.

It also appears in the game when the very rare observer-playing-bug occurs (or a cheater makes use of it).

Try to run your BZFlag with -list http://my.bzflag.org/db/ once to change the list server back.

To figure how to set up your own list server, the BZWiki is a good source (as ever): http://my.bzflag.org/w/Private_List_Server
