I posted this in maps in progress. Now after staying up way to late, it is complete!
My skill level is not high enough to ever put this up. But I would appreciate it if someone would!

Thanks, Enjoy!

Wanting to add the links to teles. I cannot on bzedit. But I have them all set in the config.

Also: Just downloaded pybzedit - I opened what I had done in bzedit 1.6.5 and I cant seem to understand how to do anything in py. I am not sure I got the right download even. It came in a zip file. Is there a thorough walk thru in how to do it? And running a server nowadays? Last I tried was probabl...

This is a work in progress - Using BZEdit and still hashing out the details of all I want.
On that note, anyone willing to set up a time to host it for me? So I can test run it with a few people?
That'd be awesome!

I like the removal of teams idea. And maybe they would be willing to move? It would be for the betterment of BZ

With the league smaller then it used to be, I feel the need for change. And maybe it means a loss of sentiment and status for some. We aren't who we used to be, and it's a new league basically. So here are my thoughts. Remove some teams that are just not active, or seem that they ever will be. That ...

Yes. BZ is dying, and only a few have hope of recovery. Yet there really isn't much plan. So I'd move on to bigger and better things.

Where is the League? I have been active for a week now... I have seen a lot of FM's with the same exact people. Are we pulling in new folks? What do we need to do to get some? Are we advertising? I just see a dying game. 2 times I have logged on early evening, and seen 1 person online in all BZ. Tha...

The community is what pulled me in, and for a long time it kept me here. Bz had a rough patch, and a lot of players I knew and loved, left. Many due to silly arguments. What would bring me back? Graphics, and seeing a larger community back in the server list. Been on 2 times in the last 48hrs, and n...

just sayin

Lolz!

You will not find me matching on Apoc! The map would be horrible without flags... It is way to big. And with flags... That'd be a rough one.

I'll be there!

Ah, now that I see it, I concur... I would be hitting "select" quite often otherwise.

It looks great, only thought would be to swap Jump & Slow movement. As "B" is the lower button, and jump would be most used. That is all I have as far as techy-things-to-say.

This evening people began to put the flag here... Which I may add is difficult to get to... Can we fix this?

I agree 100%

As a old player, I came in and everyone has something to say about someone else. I just figured I'd voice what people are quietly bickering about. Constitution - I chatted with Kierra for quite a bit since posting this. I like the idea, and what it could do for bzflag as far as new players, and such...

Okay,

Emptied, opinion voiced.

This is getting close to a Open League re-edition ...

I totally agree. And we all know how open league ended.

So, with so few players... How are we looking to keep leagues exciting? How can we attract new players to a 90's game? When is the update coming to BZ? I guess what I am getting at is this: If we want BZFlag to be around in a year... How are we achieving that? I will do what I can, and want to be a ...

No one has. Haha!

Whoa, you are still here!? It is I, thy bane.

It sure is quiet in these parts as of late...

Thanks I_Die_Alot! That explained things, and Jeff did as well! Did not really mean to make such a fuss over so many topics...

DefenseMan....ok....

Can close this post.

I can kind of see where Gollum was coming from, but I wouldn't blame it on the server(s), just a certain small percentage of particularly vocal idiots, and with the decline of the overall number of BZFlag players, that percentage has gone up. There are definitely some complete douchebags in BZ, I'm...

So you're saying that Darth's servers are slipping cash under the table to support the development/advertising/etc for BZFlag? Hmmmm... I don't think so. And you are saying that what ever happens on the mofo (<----- someone tell me again, what does that stand for? hmmmm) is what BZFlag is all about...
