it would be ::: one week all GM and laser sniping style maps offline! back to the good old "mano a mano" fights we used to have! facing your opponent while fighting ::: not hiding! i am afraid the camping&sniping style ruins the game and drives off many players .....?! so one week ::: ...

maybe that helps you or new Ubuntu compilers to get a BZFlag-Server running. this were the steps i had to go through on a newly installed UBUNTU 9.10 (i only compiled BZFlag server though ::: for the client it might need more libs to be added?!). >what you need aptitude install autoconf aptitude ins...

i like it!!! good job!!!

its done in "Bryce" ::: very affordable but powerful 3D app!

what helped me was using "Google SketchUp" to size and place the image ("right click" > Texture > Position) and with modeltool to convert it to a bzw file ....
(let me know if i could give you a hand?!)

the undefined-references to ::: dlsym dlclose dlerror dlopen ::: were new (checking all my useless attempts i saved)!

a simple reinstall of "libdb-devel" did the job!
all works fine now (including the plugins)!
ohhh boy ::: sometimes its just weird!

;-) always worked on debian ::: but i got at least no errore launching ./configure on ubuntu! but still no plugins! the errors although are better defined . . . bzfsPlugins.o: In function `getPluginVersion(void*)': /bzflag/src/bzfs/bzfsPlugins.cxx:174: undefined reference to `dlsym' bzfsPlugins.o: I...

less lucky here! libtool --version ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6 everything compiles fine ( except plugins! ) and therefore getting the same errors as Grans when connecting to a server: /listplugins > Unknown command but ::: ./configure --enable-shared --enable-plugins --disable-client --enable-bzad...

thx for your comments! (the "x-mas themed" was just an excuse for the fancy coloring ::: but it needed some differentiation for a better overview and showing the elements i used from the other maps ) i was trying to vamp up the screenies with rendering the map as an obj-file :roll: .

you folks all know the command "/saveworld -o mapname.obj" ::: right?

locate and open the saved file in a 3D app ::: add some lights, find a nice point of view, start rendering and you'll get something like this!

almost x-mas and 2010 rolling in ::: time for a review 2009. my way was to fuse some "successful" maps i made this year into a single one ::: taking bits and parts of DuPi, OCut, PiCo Bello and CrissCross and combining them into a single CTF, 2 shots and non-jumping map. adding some fancy ...

adds tactical possibilities for team-play ::: that simple

very nice with a strong and simple concept behind! i like it

sometimes solutions are that easy!
boy i spent time to figure that out and only got the solution with the maxBumpHeight to drop it over a pyramid (PiCo Bello 001.bzflag.fr:5144)!
thats much better ahs3 and thx for sharing!!!!


.

I need a little help to set up a turret-tower in the center of the map where a player can use it to shoot around 360° and downwards. problems i have so far ::: when i set the turretWeapon on top of the player ::: he gets shot! when i set the turretWeapon below the player ::: he gets shot! so i guess...

i loved it the second i played it!

THX ahs3 for an other great map!

Good job (as usual)!
neat idea and creates many new map ideas and strategies to use it!
looking forward to use it soon

up in Europe too ::: 001.bzflag.fr:5143 > Rogues only! 001.bzflag.fr:5186 > 2Team CTF although i was just digging out an old version of mine which is a bit different! (uses maxBumpHeight to drive up the bases which are at the long sides, pyramids underneath to drop flag to center and octagons to &qu...

i think this idea opens up a whole new style to bzflag with the need for some serious team-play! i started a while ago a thread in the "Enhancements" section ::: pass team-flag to player which is basically about the REAL football (that you guys call soccer ;-) ) and using a flag as ball th...

hi tanks with some new scripting to run some servers i screwed up the timestamps in the logfiles! some weird coding replaces the time and date entries now: starting bzfs with: bzadmin callsign@server:port 1>>log.txt 2>&1 i get: [1;24r[18;1H*** 'bzflag.fr' joined the game as Observer with: bzadmi...

yes ::: looks good! i like very much the simplicity of it! less is often more good job on that one!

just a suggestion ::: try to place and adjust the angles of the pyramids in the center, so you can reach up to the blocks with some well aimed rico-shots!?



.

well ::: Jefenry did it!!!! with all the difficulties and keeping the same layout and style ::: he made it work! big problem (in my point of view as a non-programmer) was to keep a range of sizes to certain elements in the map and that they don't intersect with others ::: he made it work! good job a...

BIG thanks for your help guys!
especially to Jefenry and sigonasr2 for offering their help!
it works!

what a great community bzflag is!

thx ::: good hint! looks good what the Purple Panzer did! unfortunately: ... I use Microsoft Visual Basic for the scripting, running on Windows. One reason I've chosen to send this out now is that Microsoft has made "Visual Basic Express" availabel * for free * - so anyone may grab a copy ...

I would very appreciate the help of a scripting-wizard, who could find a solution to write a script that creates a random world/map based on the layout of the DuPi map ... (001.bzflag.fr:5140) DuPi is set-up with 4 diagonals crossing out from the center, made of small boxes and pyramids with differe...
