cool another qbasic(basic) follower....thats what i made bzrand
with...nice...how long you been doing qbasic?

trepan had a program that converted bmp to bzw
i can't rememeber if he incorp'd it into bzmapper
though...

i'm making a rabbit chase map very loossly based off a pinball game. the entire floor is going to be covered with physics drivers that will propel you every which way. still setting up the phys drivers and need to make it look good but it will be a crazy map to play, still need a name. please post ...

ummm...i dont think you can...you have to do some fancy rotating
select the an item..then pick move to selction..other wise
start a bzfs session and go in and view...


its been along time since i didnt have a mouse wheel
i can't remeber what i did...PM trepan or jeff....

ummm if i am not mistaken the commands never changed from
1.10 to 2.0 for observer mode....did they? that should even work
on 1.9x...

yes it appears to be a revised HIX...

i like this map...the corner buildings give me a kinda vertigo effect when i go in them...neat... i like the drop thrus too...didnt expect it till i got up there.. the center building is neat also a gives a kinda maze effect and is different instead of just the normal 3-4 block stack... yep it could...

hmmmm yes it needs a little more...not sure what yet though...

good start...

i would put the bases on opposites side though it seems kinda off kilter
the way they are now...

i dont know if this would really be adding any play value to the game.. it would add some comedy for sure... it sounds more like an RPG tool for RPG type games for solving puzzles or mazes or treasure hunts... examples some mentioned: "this spot is great for camping" would we really need t...

keep going....add lots of stuff!

Ok, a couple of things. Are those things supposed to be bunkers? If so you can't shoot over them. Tanks work best with a 1.5 to shoot over from both ways. You could make a 1.6, then make a 0.1 in the bunker. That way you could shoot people on the outside but they'd have to jump and shoot just right...

try it you'll see with all that open space it wont...

yes it ruins a laser campers day....

I say if you're going to have a geno flag in place at all, AND there are more than one rogue spot to be had - rogue geno MAKES it fair. Geno wipes out all of a team, except rogue? That aint fair. Rogue geno MAKES it fair. But thats just me. there is your key word......"TEAM except rouge" ...

What would be nice is if there were an event for a flag pickup so I could just write a plugin that dumps a log of them. Then we could examine it and really find out who's cheating with a flag id mod. People would get flagged that are not cheaters. I am one of those radar freaks that looks for the f...

Unlike alot of peoples opinions, I am of the school that Rogue Geno is awesome. You're still a rogue tank and not a team... I mean, you can kill another rogue and not be penalized for it, with or without geno. Geno just gives that extra "harumph" But thats just me. with rouge geno that ai...

Noticed some themes... 1 shot geno... I think this is fair, perhaps I might raise it to 2 but I don't think anything higher is unwarranted Laser camping is the primary concern. I think I addressed this when I made those two pyramids passthrough and put a small pyramid in the middle of the hallway. ...

This is meerly a dream and probably will never happen but, I was thinking that perhaps Tim could make the sky pyramid span indefinently for BZFlag2.0.6. If this would happen, we could do a group project with every map maker on the site to create a BZFlag style USA, meaning, every mapper creates a m...

the map has some "perfect" camping spots. one of the well known one, is shooting laser through the tele. A rouge can easily dominate a spot, and be a source of irritation. No one likes campers. Rouge geno resets and balances everything. Killing the campers on the other hand you could limi...

very old argument, that i see has not gone away... :evil: rouge geno is a horrible idea... geno was meant to destroy the "other" team ...not committ suicide... 99% of the time(badgerking) it is rouges that are using the geno to suicide rather then the other colors... its just not done...wa...

minor release 6.36 done: you can now name your map (8 letters MAX) so you no longer overwrite the old ones you've made... you can now make a single object type map of either blocks or pyrs for wings type maps was the idea i believe...you can input ANY size and ANY max or min elevation, if you want i...

isnt there a _set command for this? wouldnt that apply to
a world weapon too?

sleestacks rule!


uhoh now you know i'm really old too...

i dont want to go by rumor but bess has not answered emails in a couple weeks and the server went down shortly after someone said he took ill and was in very bad shape....so i think were done for... bess was very cool and ran his server for quite awhile.... i hope its not the worst news for bessler ...

use the less crowded one...

also...
remove 2-3 blocks from each corner area
remove 2 LARGE pyrs from each corner area

re-arange to suit your needs...

good to go...

yes this is a good start... maybe you could alternate with some pyrs to keep it from being a lazer happy map...so they cant fire straight thru or some variation of that...and you can put the pyrs far enough back so folks can drive thru like this? B = your blocks P P P P P P B B B B B B B B B B B B B...
