I like "info" it gives a better idea of what it's used for than "tag".
(I was actually thinking "info" when I read the post)

Or something more simpler, use -setforce "Copyright (c) BinarySpike 2007, All rights reserved" Then if someone "/saveworld" then the -setforce would turn into a set and screw their loading up if they tried to host it. They would either have to remove the copyright or change it ba...

exactly that is what i just said and i said i cant compile because im dumb You take other people's opinions to seriously. Your not dumb, you are just new. Before I started playing bzflag I couldn't compile anything that I didn't make. Trust me I tried really hard. With a lot of patience from JeffM2...

Currently, that is not even remotely possible with a plug-in. 2.1's plan is to be able to modify a shot's state: direction, velocity, etc (I heard it being discussed in #bzflag, and it may already be implemented with Jeff's recent overhauls?). So, yeah, it could be done in theory... map a list of a...

This will be possible in 2.1.x but is not currently possible.


As far as I've heard, ID'ing would be next to impossible (unless it was possible for plugins to change text on the scoreboard)

I'm sure in the future plugins will be able to edit thief rules. So stuff like this would be possible.

With the upcoming protocol break (2.1.x) flags are something that can be added. Sadly many people including myself want flags that are either to complicated, powerful or easy to cheat with. So I wanted to put some points up and hopefully help people. 1. Flags should not be to powerful, Genocide is a...

1. if all players had this then it wouldn't be a cheat now would it Jeff? It's usefulness only takes away from skill. I don't like it. 2. I would use circular aim over square aim any day. 3. The height should warp "around" the circle, also should the compass. 4. This is useless for keyboar...

I don't like the duel flag idea.

But having different "zoned" map sounds great!

Actually you could do this now... Just make two area's of a map and when users go through tele they goto the other portion. Just texture one portion with a purple grass ground.

Donny Baker, you can get a Wifi hookup for your DS. Which means that the DS could run right off the bzflag tracker. I'm not sure if the DS's come with Wifi already installed inside of them. and the Microphone (Chatting with voice like in Metroid Prime Hunters). Of course, but who is going to program...

I suggested this flag just when 2.0.2 came out, but I suggested GM be ricochet (SB and SW kill)

weapon.py was the only other file I found an incompatible setEuler in. scobj.setEuler(math.pi/2,-x,-z) into scobj.setEuler((math.pi/2,-x,-z)) (*edit* I forgot to delete the pyc files after making that change... I know basic python syntax, but I don't know how it runs/compiles etc. etc...) I made eve...

I'm so sorry I didn't get back to this, the *one* day I decide not to check the forums and you post ;) Anyway I made your change and boxes worked :) (I didn't know if I was supposed to delete the pyc files, so I did...) I tried a meshbox and it didn't, here's the output not related to Blender.Scene....

MyLittleChainsaw's thread starter post wrote:Instead of killing a tank it would blow them back.

I am sure that if it did anything else the devs would not approve on the simple grounds it would be to powerful (like stun or knock flag away)

Making my client invincible to all shots is fun ... but for some reason that's not allowed. Swearing at the kiddies on the family friendly server can be fun ... again, people seem to frown upon that. Invincibility isn't fun at all... Swearing at kiddies is just being mean, and I doubt you get any f...

Nobody said anything previously about the shot going through a wall and... SB anyone? I don't think it should go through walls, or rico, and it shouldn't be like SW It should be like a normal shot. 2. If blown in to a wall the tank could lose its flag or get stunned. Getting stun would never be acc...

It's a good idea, especially for CTF. Just like Low Gravity flag, it has flaws. Every flag has a flaw. Like LG is useless on a no-jumping map, unless the map is tailored for LG and no jumping. (which would require a large fan base to begin with to become popular) CannonBallGuy Little constructive cr...

Thanks Jeff now that I think of it it should have gone here.

I get this error from Python using BZWTools 2.0.4 Beta 2 (latest SVN) I tried making a base and got this error, so I tried a box. I also have Python 2.5 installed as well as 2.4 Compiled with Python version 2.4. Checking for installed Python... got it! Blender.Scene.getCurrent() is deprecated, use B...

Hmm I should have a bzflag party, I live like 3 hours away from El Paso TX, I live in New Mexico.

There are at least 4 bzflag players within 10 hours of me

Thanks guys!

I have it running at 60fps and I seem ok.

Hmm what does vsync do? I turned it on but it doesn't make any visible difference.

I recently got a new computer :angel: FINALLY!!! I've been a year saving... Anyway I got a Sapphire Radeon X1650 Pro, It runs all the louman maps at 150+fps on 1024x768 resolution full detail! When I first ran BZFlag I got on lasermania of course. After about 2 hours of straight gaming I started fee...

My favorite is green or blue. I despise the other colors... Rogue is to dark, unfair when background is black (especially on hide'n seek hills) Red is just darn normal, and purple is just stupid, it doesn't fit in with the "RGB" color scale... (as rogue, yellow doesn't either) But above al...

CannonBallGuy When you "break protocol" you are breaking network code so the client and server cannot communicate correctly. Changing the order of bytes in a Msg will do this. Like in MsgPlayerUpdate send the new angle before the new position (or vice-versa) That would just cause weird pr...

My lowest was like -32, although my player stats show -50 that was done by a friend who was playing an account. (at that time GU groups were messed up and my friend couldn't play, so he played mine, and I played my friends account) My highscore for Purple Pwange is 1120, but that is unfair cause it'...
