lol. -17. I guess if i'm that low, I just quit

149 according to my.bzflag.org... Don't remember where that was though.

WOw that pic looks awsome - like a long-shutter camera or something.
Did you try cranking the graphic options down?

Hey i've looked just about everywhere in the options for BZ, and havn't been able to find an answer.
How do I disable the BZ HUD, or Radar screen section?

Instead of blood you could do bolts, screws, and sheet metal :D :-D - oozing down the screen? I just think that if your tank realy had that big of an explosion, as in blowing everything completely apart, your windshield would have more than a small fracture in it. Just an idea for future versions.....

I would, if I could understand how the graphics code is mapped out...And to be able to change the tank coords....*/me dreams wishfully*

it was bad. the spinning sucked. I had the idea of making the camera fly backwards in like a reverse jump, so you could see your tank asplode better. but noone got it :( :-D I would enjoy both - Just for something different. It just seems as if having a simple fracture in your screen isn't enough t...

Well, maybe a more realisticly shattered screen - a plus sign in the middle of the windshield isn't too "realistic" as opposed to a "totaly shattered" design...

It seems that the typcial "+" cracked-up screen that appears after you get hit seems to be growing a little annoying...at least for me.
I can't remember any changes done to this as far back as I can remember with BZ.
Is this sort of a BZ Memorial, or something that would be changeable?

Count me in also - I think its a great idea

I am planning to make a brand new ducati style map - It will be slightly different than what has been done before, as it isn't random.
Same basics: 2 bases, no jumping, that kind of thing.

Well, if you had previously been running a -fb and -sb conf, the conf would have to be changed rather than just setting an option disabler on the creator's end.

Thanks - maybe we could start a petition againts it

a) ctf maps are usually cemetrical I don't think I've ever seen one that wasn't...But it looks like fun - even though one team may have a slight edge 8) Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I am the slayer of Sir Lance-Alot. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! May the king have mercy upon you, because I won't. *P...

Hmm - I love the idea you applied to cap'ing the flag.
The bases are pretty close, but you have to circle around to get to the enemy.
Good map, but it does need more to it imho.

The 2.0 map format brought with it the feature of integrated options right inside the map. This works great, but only for options that want to be enabled. There is no way (that I know of) to specificaly disable options by using the map file. 3 examples: No Jumping No Flags on Buildings No Spawning o...

They work now. It's pretty simple, but that's not always a bad thing. Good job. Yeah..I guess I'm kickin back for a while and making some more simple maps. But, sometimes the most simple can be the best ;) Ducati style, for example. I may make a ducati-style map soon, and I even have it sketched ou...

XCTF. It is CTF, of course, and is set at a smaller worldsize than normal. This is a very fun map. I could hardly get myself to stop driving around in it. It features closed quarters, but many pyramids to deflect shots. It has snooow :-D Also has a nice tower in the middle for bored people to climb....

Nice-looking CTF map - hope to play on it soon

WoW - thats incredibly complex.
It must have taken a looong time to build

Nice-looking map.
I love the intricate designs around the bases (I would never have the patience to do that)
It looks great so far - very imaginative
Good luck.

Edit: Maybe a name? Heh. Just break out a dictionary - its hard to keep "no name" maps apart.

As with most tactics, it is not 100% to make a guaranteed kill every time you execute the manuever.
But, it does help to raise the score of the one pulling it off successfully
(I speek from experience with it)

*Only works on 3 shot no-jumping servers* Fire 2 shots - one on each side of the target - he will usualy turn and try to race away horizontaly from you. Keep your last shot, then fire it at him when he is retreating and starting to turn back to fire on you. This is well known to many, but I am posti...

yup - that proves it

Good score!

Very imaginative - Its gonna look like a giant "tuxee" map that looks script-generated
