Howdy, this is driving me nuts! Downloaded source from SVN today. Trying to get a new 2.0.13 server up an running on a new box (Ubuntu Server (Hardy?)) at bzflag.enuffsaid.co.nz autogen.sh <ok> ./configure --enable-shared --disable-client --disable-bzadmin <ok> make <ok> make install <ok> Run server...

Howdy, on occassion when looking at the matches played here: http://gu.bzleague.com/index.php?link=fights I find myself thinking, wouldn't it be great if I could just click on a match and see who played in it, and/or see which replay server (and match number) where I could go and watch it. Yes, I kn...

I don't want everyone to know because I don't want to get sucked into the game like I used to be, I don't want to be contacted by anyone and I don't want to join any teams, all I want is to play when I have the time...obviously nobody could understand that, so if I can't have it like that then I gu...

Well that's great news, thanks.

ummm - do you mean a sub-domain like nzl.guleague.org pointing at the same ip as enuffsaid.co.nz or putting up a website somewhere?

Is there any rule against a shorter (say 15min) fun match played on an official match server?

ok thanks Jeff, works fine with the correct source :roll: Server is now running on port 5158, version is 2.0.13. The replay server is up on port 5159. There is even a "test file" (just me driving around for 60secs :) on there which can be played confirming that the replay side is working. ...

Ummm, the fact that I'm seeing this warning: WARNING: Publicly listed bzfs servers must login using the '-publickey <key>' option. A web page describing list-server policies and procedures can be found here: http://my.bzflag.org/w/ServerAuthentication and my server doesn't appear on the public list ...

Not that it's crucial in some way, but why not use 2.0.13?.. https://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/branches/v2_0branch/bzflag/ Two reasons: 1. I'm not sure that the svn version is considered 'stable' - is it? 2. I don't have an svn client on the server, so a few extra steps for me :wink...

Ok, I've disabled lagwarn and lagdrop. Upgraded to 2.0.12 - which fixed the 5 second countdown timer. Added the /timelimit plugin so that fms can be set to whatever time you want. Permissions re-jigged so now only GU-League admins (and me) are admins (can someone test this and confirm its working?)....

Yes, that was it thanks (upgraded to 2.0.12). The only sources I can find are for 2.0.12 - I presume that is the current stable release, and 2.0.13 is the cvs version?

As much as I enjoy people discussing my "integrity" on an anonymous public forum :roll: it's really pretty simple: its up to the GU-League admins to say which servers can be used for official matches and which cant. So, lets move on... A couple of server type questions: What generates the ...

I must admit that until two weeks ago, I had never heard of this player in the league before. Since then I've talked to him a couple of times - he seems nice enough, but a short convo or two doesn't say much. That's most likely because up until a few weeks ago I wasn't in the league! :P Llrr and Mo...

I checked the dependencies in Yast, (Suse package manager) but couldn't find anything for SDL.

No idea, sry, how would I find this out?

BZFlag client 2.0.12.20081203-MAINT-linux-gnu (protocol 0026) http://BZFlag.org/

Howdy, BZF Client is 2.0.12 on Linux (Suse 11.1). I'm using the standard Suse 11.1 version of BZFlag from the repositories; I have not compiled from source. My mouse is a standard Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical (wired-usb), which works fine in all other applications in KDE - ie scroll wheel up/down s...

Wow. 100ms just to get through to your ISP ... what are you connecting with? A cheap richard Smith ADSL modem that's overheating? Lol. No an Allied Telesyn router/firewall. My lag went up when I changed to KDE4/4.1 - it was fine on KDE3.5 Well ... if there is some real demand for the machine, I cou...

Thanks Const, I managed to get this to compile, and I can load the plugin. But, server says /maplist is unknown command (even tho the plugin is loadable using /loadplugin /path/to/plugin.so)
Any ideas ?

Cheers
Grans.

I can't load this plugin - I think I need to compile from source, but when running make over the dir in the supplied zip archive produces an error: [grans@gransplace mapchange]$ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

I cant get this plugin to work on bzfs 2.0.8 under CentOS 4 I've downloaded it from source (binary didnt work) and ran make. Two files were created: fairCTF.o and fairCTF.so Note that /loadplugin <pathtoplugins> produces an error: no such command when run in the client. I've looked in the server log...

Thanks A Meteorite, I have sent you another PM. Server rules etc are fine and am happy to make your cops, my cops. So if you're happy with what I mentioned in the PM, can you send me a PM with the map attached?

Cheers
Grans

Yeah, I used to get this all the time too. I'm also on Suse 10.2. I'm pretty sure its either a driver issue or an X config issue. I can't remember how I fixed it - I think it may have been an update on the driver. Check nVidia's website for a later driver.

Grans

Thx Grace, I've PM'd him. Are you a boxy fan or would you rather see a Hix map next there?

Howdy,
I would like to host this map for us southern hemisphere laggers, as we lag way to much to play.

But I cant seem to find it released here.

Does anyone know who made it, and whether they've released it publicly?

Cheers
Grans

Yes, well, my post was edited to remove the statement " ...and assuming this is not an aprils fools joke... " Who did that I wonder? Jeff's insistence this was real, and especially his 'crusade' against Constitution's fork, had me thinking it was real after all. Nice one. Oh, and for the r...
