THIS IS AWESOME !!!!

especially the slime pit... we need a whole map themed off of the slime pit ;D

is it possible to do 3d(ish) grass using a ton of billboards and your partial system?

or maybe even partial based clouds

Nice to hear it works.

Last time you tried it was broken, so you are running a newer version now.

ubuntu

I used to use win vista, however that computer died
every now and then mac OSX tiger or win 7
and in rare cases you will find me with windows ME (yes bz works on win me (at 8 fps))

but I mostly use ubuntu

nexuiz has moving objects edit--- The game state is NOT currently synced with the server, that is why the tanks ARE all over the place (ever shoot someone and they not blow up?). You would not want the client to control the object. the server would have to do it, and have the clients sycn to that. I...

Castle War fare is the place to be... if you wnat to die Try Missile wars of planet mofo both are high quality maps and provide multiple ways to play. if you don't like those, try something else there are OVER 50 maps out there waiting to be discovered as for spawnkilling, there will always be jerks...

any that work with linux?

the ones I have tried place a black square where the bzflag window is (window mode)

or just record blackscreen (fullscreen mode)

Thanks for the help, I got lib curl and successfully compiled

Now, about orange team........

drawinfo?????
how?
why?

all I know about drawinfo is spinning objects and LOD

I would support the voice chat only if...
it was integrated in bz or an external program controlled within the bz interface
It could be easily turned of in case of abusers (I hate them cussers and spammers)
and it is set as a server variable so some servers can have no voice chat.

When I try to compile bz on ubuntu it says I need lb tool I go find libcurl4-openssl-dev i package manager, but I fails in downloading due to a 404 I go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/libcurl4-openssl-dev/download and download that, but its not the full package just a fancy link ad fails ...

if you can figure out how to control a tank with no buttons, feel free to edit the source and do it yourself

I thought he meant using small meshes as the rain drops (can that be done?) as for using a mesh as grass, wouldn't that be very very very resource killing? Yet you don't know how to make a textured mesh? yes I do know how to make a textured mesh (in wings and in code) I am, however, not very good at...

I would likely not notice the situation and slaughter you all.
muahaha
lol

it is a tad underground (i hope ic an get a screen shot to you soon)

The only enhancements I can think of is making the water on the edges match-up with the water in the map.

and the waterfall just seems a little 2d to me

Why not just use a textured mesh instead

how?

or if you just want a different ground texture you could just add a GroundMaterial to your map file.

yes, but I wanted 3d grass that poofed up from the ground, not a 2d texture.

no part of the mesh appeared, all I saw were 2 stubs, not an arch

no, i tried to run it of a 2.99 build but half of the map just was missing, it didn't show up at all.

Ill try it a gain later when I can compile my own build

(the one I used was probably old or incomplete)

really nice touch for the bottom of the roofs, this map look quite interesting, even though it is rather straightforward

in other words I love it

thanks for the info,
too bad win clients cant
I was going to put still rain on the ground textured as grass.

I have 2 questions related to bzflages partical engine. 1 When giving rain a texture (like bullets instead of raindrops) am I limited with the textures that come with bz? or can I use external textures from other places on the internet. 2 Is there anyway to make rain have a speed of 0 (in other word...

thanks blast

everything on the site is public domain
(i probably should state that on the site)

You can use it however you want

pretty much means public domain

reallY?

i made it on a mac


anyways.. I dont think the gui version worked for anybody, if you want to fix it feel free.It is open source

mind if I put this in my bz object database site im working on?

is called Bz Environment at bzenv.site50.net
ill give you credit of course.
