I can only see screen shot(s) from the videos. If I try to play them all I get back is "no video with supported format and mine type found" in FIrefox 66.0.2 (32-bit) on the most up to date LTS Lubuntu. Here's a shot in the dark, but if you view the homepage in Incognito or Private mode i...

Works for me with Firefox on both 32-bit Lubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Would it better to, ask elsewhere? and if so, where a general Unix/Linux or a **buntu board? In the meantime as I wait a reply, how about: #1 Putting the videos on YouTube (if they are not already on there). #2 And then posting a lin...

Cool :) I am not sure of where this goes, but if I posted in the wrong area - please tell a mod/an admin to split and move it to the right area. If I posted on the wrong website with message board, please tell me. I can only see screen shot(s) from the videos. If I try to play them all I get back is...

The client never receives the actual world file. Only the server has all of the map file information. The client's save world feature recreates a BZW file from the binary object data that the client receives from the server, so it will not match the original map file. Additionally, it won't know ab...

Yes, you guy/gals misundstand. Try this. #1 Connect to bzflag.ahs3.org:5555. As need be, find it with /mapchange #2 If no one is there, press n or m and issue the command /mapchange kingring #3 Go to Options -> Save World . Then save the file to your HD. #4 Now that you have the file on your HD, joi...

I see at http://bzstats.strayer.de/servers/stats/?serverid=44826&lang=en that ahs3 is the owner of that server. Now, I have to ask how does he/she/they/you do that? For example at https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=12575 and at https://wiki.bzflag.org/Koth they both have the keyw...

I'm somewhat busy at the moment with current projects and requests, but would be able help create either a plug-in or the client/server modifications needed at a later time. At the moment, I would be able to offer some guidance on where to look and what to do as well, if that alternative is viable....

1. The tutorial is for 2.x, so it would not work for 2.4.x, but some things can still be referenced from it. 2. I'm assuming it would be four and is likely hard coded. 3. Depends on a number of factors. 4. A simple fork is easy and even trivial, but having a fork which is modified will vary on the ...

So, if I were fork BZFlag.. #1 I (or someone else) would also have to setup a private list server, that is public REF = https://wiki.bzflag.org/Private_List_Server ? #2 While I get that the protocol would have to be changed, what is the limit on characters? For example at http://my.bzflag.org/db/ I ...

At https://wiki.bzflag.org/Public_Server it talks about the Authentication Key and a link to http://my.bzflag.org/listkeys/ #1 While I get that the protocol will have to changed, would the modified server need the Authentication Key? Last time that I checked at http://my.bzflag.org/listkeys/ it said...

Why would you even want that? If you want to balance or imbalance flag potency, you can do it already by adjusting server variables respective to the flags in question and keeping the idea of a single shot killing a tank. Because there are games you do not kill the other player's tank with a single...

Ok. Before saying yes to the client/server mod and incompatible with other existing and future versions/servers, I have to ask: Would it be worth it to do this/that? Last check with-in BZFlag for 2.4.* there is/are 165 servers with 27 players and 6 obses. Unsure of GCWZ0221 and other versions of bzf...

I have this ideas that not all weapons should do 100% damage. If that is possible in native code, perhaps it could be done with a plug-in. Since I am not a programmer, I have no idea of how this would done to the T in the source code / writing my own plug-in. Sure I can follow directions and get cer...

Please tell me more about the Dialog System Mockup(s). For example: I have to download the source code, these are the changes I need to make, and compile. If they are only Dialog System Mockup(s), what program do you use / how do you do that? For example used Gimp/Photo Shop and this/these option(s)...

It was a fun challenge.

For those who do not know, it would help to post a link to the discord server.

Just make a new post in the thread for that map release. As others stated, this creates a notification of an unread post, which should draw the viewers to the updated info. The ability to edit original posts to remove outdated versions of maps is a valid use case, but unfortunately is has been lost...

Zehra interesting suggestion. but no third party file hosting. I am going with the last two post in this thread (by allejo and by tainn). The map poster is to bump the thread to top. Why not use file hosting services? Old files and accounts are deleted constantly or services just shut down; so many ...

Thank you for the update.

An another thread was created on / for behalf of mappers since there is a two hour time limit on editing post.

I over heard/read in https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=20144 @ahs3 Yes, currently there is a two hour limit, which hasn't changed from what I'm aware of. (See Posts? forum thread.) One thing to consider for updating map files without creating a new post, would be using a file hostin...

I am not saying that I want one, but cool.

While at http://bzstats.strayer.de/servers/stats/?lang=en I noticed that BZFS is listed as the protocol and most of the servers on the list server ( http://my.bzflag.org/db/ ) start with BZFS, expect that there is/are some servers at rahab.fairserve.net that are listed as GCWZ0221. My question is, w...

At https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=84733 Why are the other servers listed in the first place that a player can not connect to unless the same version? Red vs green. Note when you answer the question, be sure to exclude (not include) NewGRFs. Green vs yellow. The answer provided is...
