If you guise want to use a MoFo map, please do. Any map (not server plugin) that has ever appeared at Planet MoFo is LGPL, except the name "Planet MoFo" I usually say that to use our stuff you have to remove the Planet MoFo name where it appears, but I will forego that requirement for your...

You guys got half of it pretty quickly. If you kill yourself, it gives you back the point. If you can get the other half, I'm going to change it so it's super easy to figure out, and add a new function that will make it better, more powerful. So somebody figure out the other half. After it gives you...

HAHA, They think ED is impotent! Here is the definition of euthanasia that I man using. (From The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition) euthanasia. yoo͞″thə-nā′zhə, -zhē-ə 1 N/A 2 N/A 3 An easy death; a mode of dying to be desired. For the D, think of "Post-Apocalyp...

It's right there in the name. What is Euthanasia? What is D?

NEW FLAG! ED = Euthanacious D

I'm not telling how it works, you have to find out for yourself.

Could Anybody Please Repost a copy of this map? It would certainly make me happy. I think the filename has underscores or something, so if you search for "life on mars" you won't find it. Try searching file contents for this image string "http://images.bzflag.org/gbratley/electric-arc...

I took a vid using a slightly older version of the map. (ignore the outer wall because _noWalls is not set) It's important to note that the object is still there for collisions, even though it looks invisible. http://images.planet-mofo.com/A-Delusion/uh-oh/M1MacBZHack.mp4 Here is a snippet from one ...

Know what, As soon as I posted my comments above, I knew they were wrong, or at least only partially correct.I never really looked at it closely. I'm going to have to investigate further.
Non-Drawinfo meshes can also do the disappearing trick.

There is no OpenGL on M1 Macs, so it's kinda amazing that we see anything at all. I'm pretty much the only mapper that uses significant amounts of Drawinfo in my BZ maps, and this effect only happens on the objects that include drawinfo LOD's. So the only place you're going to see this blinking effe...

I understand there has been discussion about the WHAMMO! F12 plugin. I will re-iterate my previous comments. It's not perfect. There are false positives. I will not go into detail about exactly how it works to avoid people gaming it. You get one warning, and the warning puts you on the plugin's #%*@...

The F12 ban has nothing to do with Team Flag capture.
It bans when it suspects you F12 to evade genocide.

Furthermore, leaving just before a capture doesn't really do any good. The bounty is calculated at team flag pickup, not the point of capture.

I want to have one "bad" flag. This is the least offensive thing I could think of. It's only ONE flag. You can still shoot and move normally.
Maybe I should put a bouncy flag instead?

CORRECTION:
The name is Win Siphon {WS} ... I've been calling it by the wrong name.

I always had problems if the ground was completely covered by objects. BZFS could not place flags properly if there was not a small sliver of ground visible to the sky somewhere.
This may have been fixed since I tested it long ago.

If either player does not have the three necessary wins (kills) or losses (deaths) to add or remove, nothing happens.
It's a +1 and a -1, the same as a no-flag kill.

At next restart we will lose the triple-point flag. Which I always called TP, toilet paper.

Twenty-One Has Begun! POINT SIPHON Is the Thief flag for points! Coded by Zehra The new Point Siphon flag not only steals their wins, it takes away your losses. The killed player gets Minus 3 in their win column, while The killer gets three deaths removed from their loss column. Also, there is one p...

I tried converting to drawinfo, and that shows on normal radar too.

macsforme is correct. In my experience, unless you use all six "side" matrefs, none of them function. top bottom inside outside startside endside Or, just use a single matref, without any "sides" Either one of these two should work. meshbox position 0 0 0 rotation 45 size 80 80 8...

Very sorry about your mistaken ban. However, I say it over and over, If you plan on instantly rejoining, wait until you are dead before leaving, and this will never happen. The alternative is people constantly F12'ing to avoid geno which is far worse than the occasional misfire, meaning we have to t...

Each shot costs one point.
Each kill earns 7 points.
Flag goes away after 7 seconds.
You could shoot about 8 shots in that time.

The One Bad Flag Stays.
Use it right, and it's a good flag.
It replaced "The Fifty", which was too overpowered.

It does. Flag capture bounties are calculated at time of team-flag PICKUP. Team ratios at time of capture mean nothing. Team ratio at time you PICKED UP the team flag is everything. So leaving while someone is about to capture your flag does not hurt them. Also, If you pickup a team flag and teams a...

Knottyman, the F12 plugin has never been perfect, but it has performed it's intended purpose. Few times do players F12 to keep from being geno'd. At least much fewer than it was in the past. The price we pay is the occasional false positive. It banned me once. If you intend to rejoin, wait until you...

Thank You Kierra.
When I looked at it, way down at the bottom of the page it said,,,,

lkjhg, Do you mean the mountains? This new map file is 98% the work of WHAMMO! I only added a few touches for the MoFo look and feel. I am very happy with the result. He gave me what I asked for, "the same but different", if that makes any sense. But WHAMMO! gave his baby up for adoption, ...
