I know nobody said anything about it but I just had too. The TimeTrial map I'm using now has platforms and pyramids at 300 feet and a single platform at 500 feet with a 100 foot pyramid on top of it.
30 wing flaps.

I just love tank dog fights

Are you sure you have time set by server and not by the client with syncTime -1 ??? I don't understand anything so... Once I had done this I could log onto the map from any other machine in my lan or from my machine at work and time was always right and running. So server was setting the time. Alth...

(Make sure its a - number or stuff will happen

Thanks. I changed the wings to 30 for now but I haven't decided what I'm going to do to gravity yet

Never mind... I just created my first objects with BZEdit and added them to the TimeTrials map... I'm like this " :D " I'm so pleased with myself. Did I mention I love BZFlag? To save the value of the thread though... Are you suppossed to add something like this in certain places in the ma...

I'm running LouMans TimeTrials map... I would like to change a few things like reduce gravity a tad, add a few more wing flaps and a couple of platforms up high. (I'm liking the areal combat found in TwinPeaks and other maps online) Can I just create some simple platforms at a certain height on bzed...

I was just dinking with _reloadTime on my map a matter of seconds ago. Default was 3.5 so I dropped it to 1. What ended up happening is a very short reload time but only a point blank range on the shots. :rock: Posted in here cuz the question was already raised about this parameter. Edit: just confi...

Thanks and Welcome

I'm tinkering with it now

Ok... On the map I had set this: -set _latitude 29.64020 -set _longitude 95.63426 -synctime -synclocation And in /set this was what it read in the game: spldart /set _syncLocation -1#.QNAN0 true spldart /set _syncTime 1.000000 1.0 The solution to my no time problem was to go into the game logged in...

Hrm... A bad flag idea... Bullet Magnet Anything shot in your vicinity has a tendency to arc toward you to some degree. Making shooting you a bit easier while your carry it. And of course you could also turn it around and make a good flag. Bullet Repulse... Anything shot at you has a tendency to arc...

LouMan gets credit for the map. The kids love it cuz it's like Mario Kart... Just more violent :twisted: I just added some rain and changed the rules a bit ;) Pretty good, speed was fine (but I was the only one playing), shots are good, rico is almost a must, the only thing I'd change is I'd not mak...

My wife just told me it's storming at my house. If the link is down try again later. It probably got knocked offline.

Thanks for the feedback... I'll check my messages when I get home and check the server. (at work now)
As far as getting on the server list... Maybe when I'm ready, and when enough people tell me the bandwidth is acceptable.

Anybody else?

Lets see...
TimeTrials map by LouMan
4 shots reload
ricochet
5 rogues and a couple observers (limited bandwidth)
no teams

I know its online cuz I've been on it from work.
Comments? Suggestions?
Was the connection ok?
Any suggestions that would make it more fun?

I ran into something on TimeTrials. I was heading down the track.. Jump off... landed on the transporter at the end of a turn and locked. I couldn't jump or move off the transporter frame. http://67.10.210.195:91/timetrialsstuck.jpg If anyone doesn't see it you're probably behind a firewall. I don't...

Those server created energy beams are kinda
I like it.

Well. I broke out and put the final parts in the newer faster machine that I intend to replace my current server with. It will eventually run all the same apps. Abyss personal web server, Winroute by Kerio and BZFlag. I just freshly installed, or unpacked i guess is more appropriate terminology) bzf...

Just played it a bit "1veedo.homelinux.com:5154" fun stuff

I had searched, found that thread as well, and tried negative values. But Time doesn't change and sun never moves

I have never found a fix for this.

I can imagine a giant elimination dodgeball round being played in that center room with the pyramids

OMG!!!

I first tried out Columns and Rivers.. Very classy..

Then the Time Trials one.... OMFG that's so cool!!!!

Oh. And if I log onto the map and type:
/set

scroll up with page up key and I see:

spldart /set _syncLocation -1#.QNAN0 true
spldart /set _syncTime 1.000000 1.0

Ok... I'm hitting my head on my 32" monitor on this and it's starting to hurt :( It may be TMI but... My .conf file is: *************************** -sb -j -mp 10 -ms 10 -p 5123 -vars vars.txt -set _latitude 29.64020 -set _longitude -95.63426 -synctime -synclocation +f GM{6} +f L{5} +f WG{8} +f ...

I already found a map I like. And of course I need to go ahead and learn to make one for myself too.
