Official forums for BZFlag.org

its true to a certain degree its nice to have no flag games that are free of flags. if thats the case, join one of the many leagues that most of them are like that but in my opinion, servers like boxy war and stuff, the whole time people (mainly admins) were saying 'this is a ctf server, stop worryi...

thanks for the help, forgive me for my ignorance but how would i go about changing these settings for my computer?
and yeah i probably should have added my graphics card is a geforce fx 5200 (i got my pc 3 years ago, ok? )

[edit] whoop dont worry, i found it in dxdiag. thanks for the help.

i got around 310 on boxy war. oh the wonders of geno .

i think i made at least 20 enemies that day. oh the cheapness of it all.

hmm, /me wonders how many characters it is possible to get your score too

try doing the same thing but leaving your computer on when you go to sleep

did you do that on a global server? because that would seriously screw with your strength index

hi, i have a problem where sometimes when i alt-tab (yes i'm on windows xp) out of bzflag, my monitor displays a blank screen with the message 'monitor still working - pc out of scan range'. i've seen this happen on other computers too, with the message varying depending on the monitor. does using f...

yes, but it would be nice to really work with the story mode idea, for instance when you reach certain parts of the map you get a srvmsg telling you something like lvl 1 complete - time: 51 seconds, and a physics driver kills you and you spawn at the next level, or you enter the next level through a...

yeah, this could be done using patches, be a lot of work though. i dont know how they would feel about including it in the game as part of the download ive already been working on a tactical training server that is designed to be single player, its like dodging sprays of bullets and stuff. cool idea...

this is a copy and paste from jeffm's topic on general board guidelines 1. Don't bump old threads. Basically, if it's off or at the bottom of the front page, or hasn't been posted to in a while (couple weeks) we're already done with it. Make a new topic if you have something to say about the subject...

i am a big lagger, and i would definitely like a new american server because my usual lag on european servers is 340 (yeah, i'm in australia ok?) and my lag on the american servers is 240. trouble is, whenever we try to play on the american servers the jitter and packet loss goes up, and usually som...

i'm thinking like a modification to geno. i think it would have to be done by the devs but like people are always complaining about geno no matter about the shotlimits or whatever. why not incorporate this idea into geno and make it so the geno flag can either be a normal geno flag or you can set it...

what about something where its not too ridiculously hard to get geno, but it takes a fair bit of time, is fairly high up, and is surrounded by 00's, so you fall all the way back down to the bottom and have to start your climb again, unless you make the perfect jump. p.s, how do u make it so that fla...

i dont know about the whole tracking thing, isnt there like some rule where they dont like flags that cause unavoidable death (geno is the exception). wasn't that the reason they didnt want mines or trick flags? perhaps if like a little target thing appeared on the radar to let them know that they w...

i put pen to paper, and came up with a map that i think people could take to, but i want to make sure its not too run-of-the-mill. im thinking id make 2 bases in the 2 bottom corners, and 1 base in the middle of the top end. the bases would be inaccesible from the outside, but you can get to the out...

i prefer 2 tanks, mainly because im not a huge fan of missile war. ive never been a fan of servers that have ridiculous amounts of superflags, with missiles and people going everywhere, spawn and die, campers taking you out with all the hecticness of it. thats not to say its a bad server, i think it...

ok, before you all go off at me - i did search the forums, came up with nothing . and i have looked at the boxy wars, map, and it only made my brain hurt.

ok, wondering how i make a platform you can drive through on one side, and not the other, like on boxy wars. simple enough, i hope.

thx

i know this seems weird coming from me, but i agree that something needs to be done about geno, and would be fine with getting rid of it. but my only problem with it, is that for me a large part of the fun in boxy comes from the wacky rebounds in the center, and the great duels you can have with peo...

hi, this seems like a weird idea, but i thought id just put it out there. i'm not smart with c or anything, so i wouldnt be able to do this, but i thought it might be cool if there was like an adminwars server :P. it would work kinda like, you sign in, then the server has like an automatic countdown...

hi, what about a flag that gives you the ability to shoot through teleporters, without the bullets going through the teleporters. this flag has its ups and downs just like all flags. up: allows you to hide behind any teleporter and shoot straight through it at people whilst being shielded by the oth...

1. ok, i find it rather annoying when im roaming in observer mode, and i cant see whats going on properly, because it is happening on a top level, and i want to see from my angle. what if we make it so that in observer mode when roaming you can fly? (if im stupid and you can already fly, i have anot...

it is just "/poll set _shockOutRadius" i believe. just type in "/set" and it gives you a full list of all the variables. i assume youve gotten the "variable" bit from when it says the syntax? note that on many servers it doesnt do anything when you pass a correctly writ...

ill start with this - apoligies if this has been discussed before, i couldnt find it in the forums. ok, what if you made it so that you can have moving blocks. one might say this could get complicated, but you could always leave it at this. in the .bzw map file, you simply make something like the no...

love the idea! get away from those oh-so annoying spawn campers. as a boxy wars person i would welcome that so much. i agree that it should be a /set _spawnInvincibleTime or something like that, to set whether it happens at all or how long it hapens for. Also maybe make it so that if you want, you c...

ok, well i had a suspicion that this problem would be incredible difficult to solve by figuring it out. but thats ok, because this is one of those problems that just fixes themselves after about 2 weeks. thats right, it fixed itself. its all fine, i get get onto the site and everything. yay :) ty fo...

ok...so you mentioned the logs on my anti virus. that came up with nothing that i could see. i looked at spybot s&d and it had an option called "immunize" where it blocks access to websites. upon disabling this, i couldnt access internet explorer (i dont like that. i dont like being de...

ok some people may have noticed ive been playing as the_j0k3r1 this past week. it is because when i go onto bzflag nothing comes up when i do "find server". also, i cannot login to servers globally (comes up with "-" instead of "+" next to my name). i cant get onto my.b...
