Here's My Thoughts on how four team operation should be handled. It counts in reverse. You start with -n and go to zero. First team to LOSE -n flags, they are not allowed to spawn. etcetera. This would make defense a valuable skill, one player would have to stay home at all times. With the current s...

The ghosts would be bots, no players inside.
Actually, I think the entire ghost Idea could branch off in several directions. Where did you get punishing tk's from?

I'm guessing, as usual.
Plugin needs recompiled for the new API, or
You can choose cvs version by specifying the date, when you cvs.
Someone told me you can cvs BZFlag 1.1, if you have the date right.

Once you get a CVS version that works, stick with it, cvs changes daily, that's not a guess.

It's not what you really want, it only keeps track of one game, but here it is, BZStats- be sure to read the readme

Here I am on a Rampage, six straight laser kills.
I kill a seventh, but he's close enough to get me with shockwavedeath.
The server is just about to say "A-Delusion's Rampage was stopped by World Weapon" but it doesn't, because the server has just crashed.

I think this Idea has alot of merit. There are tons of possibilities. With the coming of plugins, some old Ideas should be revisited. I like it like this. On a CTF map theres one ghost tank per team. As a decoy. The ghost stays near it's team's flag, when killed, only reappears ten seconds after opp...

Except for the "/match end" part it already works damn well for my purposes, The Planet MoFo League. It was designed especially for me. Keep in mind that it started as a patch, and was converted to a plugin, it's gonna be dirty. Also, don't look four a four team version anytime soon, but i...

Testing on Darth Vader's Planet Mofo server now. {linux, and yesterday's cvs}
Seems to work ok, the beta sends all match reports to me!
It seems to know if a green or purple flag is captured, it prints the score, but only keeps score for the red and blue teams.

Wrong answer, deleted.

It's a flag capture league scoring plugin. Among other things, it; Keeps track of team flag captures, and when seven is reached, it reports directly to the league website, time, score, and which players were involved. Restricts new player joins to observer, while a match is in progress. Allows admin...

It's not saucers, but... Goto the server, teppic.homelinux.net.-Sir_Pants InterHouse Warfare Map Teppic runs a server patch/plugin that allows players to call up or remove as many bots as they like. Though I believe the map is too large to be appropriate for this. Also, the green bots stay on their ...

Thanks to RPG for creating the plugin. Thanks to Tropican8, for serving on windows. Thanks to JeffM for seventeen quadrillion things. AND Thanks to every dev since 1980. Tonight I beta tested the race-to-seven-flag-captures team scoring plugin. After Tropican8 got the correct bzfs version, (freshly ...

Thanks guys that's great. Someday soon server owners will be able to simply add a plugin to their bzfs folder, and choose to use it or not with a loadplugin command. The plugins can be passed around, and easily used by all, with minimal programming needed by server owners. Some day, we may need a se...

I was gonna say I'm tossing this to the dogs, but since the "BassMasters Classic" fishing tournament is here in Pittsburgh today, I'm casting a line. I've kinda ignored this forum on purpose, as I have truckloads of ideas to enhance game play, and didn't want to give you all a headache. Ex...

The easy fix on gmactivation is to slow your tanks... when you set gmactivation, raise it in tiny increments, testing each time. I also suggest raising gmturnradius, (or W/E it is) for your map. If wings is gonna be that fast so does the gm. I thought the overall blockiness of your map kinda killed ...

Yeah, rabbit was real popular when it first came out, but quickly subsided, as it can get boring if you are not the rabbit. This would be a great way to revitalize an under-used mode, Especially on maps that are "compartmentalized", and different battles can be played out in different plac...

You've got the red team with a GM activation bug. When you increase tankspeed, you have to also slightly increase GMactivation time. Right now if you drive full speed and fire GM your own shot kills you. The problem is that makes GM less powerful at short range, and your choice of maps requires it t...

Yes. It's very nice to see modding done to game play. I think it's interesting that with just a slight mod to game play, you chose a very boring map. Personally, I think the random way flags are distributed is the biggest thing holding BZFlag back today. If as much time was put into improving actual...

Check that guy, his first-ever post is to announce his server. And he's running a mac....I'd bet a billion pounds he used your guide, CBG!

...So are you gonna use my conf file CBG? I think you should, it has all the optiions, full comments, and the only things not commented are necessary for the server. I have a version I've added even more comment to. The more #comment the better for a newb. Perhaps there should be two confs. One for ...

WOW that is almost unbelievable. Hepcat was the best server for along time. It will always be remembered as the place I learned to play BZFlag, And the place that got me hooked too. I feel like I'm losing an old freind. I can definitely understand why cosmos would feel the way he does, some people j...

That does seem like an important enough tidbit to be added. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. CBG's guide is primarily for public servers. I'm assuming you want to run on a LAN? I can say that BZFlag ONLY uses .png format. I suggest you take your question to a mapmaking forum. here is one qui...

I tried Jeff's DMG under OSX 10.3.9 Still nada.zilch. the file won't open. CVS chokes on the c-ares library. Says it's using internal c-ares library, gives a warning (not an error) to update the system level c-ares files. Updating those files had no effect. It could be all my mistakes though, as I'm...

Please, can abid be put on the global ban list? Here's my story. As soon as dvnkler/starwars got banned, two players sign into my new league site "tahir" and "haque". They both have the same IP, but gmail and yahoo addresses. Just as suddenly, those names disappear, they have not...

the libcurl error should not matter. You have all four debug levels active, comment out all but one turn your lagwarn, lagdrop and maxidle back on you are using a map, comment out worldsize line. MAKE THIS -publicaddr 24.118.43.9[:5154] INTO THIS -publicaddr 24.118.43.9:5154 That's the biggie there....
