I popped up a temporary server on bzflagr.net:5155 until the regular one is back.

Ever heard of Google? It's this amazing thing you can use to search the internet.

Gee, look what the first result was for "python": http://www.python.org/

lol_u died wrote:Perhaps you can find some software that makes installations for you like Windows Installer

It's called python. It's a scripting language. You don't "install" the scripts, you run it from the python interpreter.

Try clearing out your cache, since nothing in the way of server configuration has changed.

I'll look through the banfile and see if there are any outstanding hostbans, as well.

If you don't know the password, then chances are your parents don't want you running a server, or touching the router's settings.

Running a server is not trivial, it is best to get someone with a suitable connection to host it for you.

On Leopard it is simply called the "Airport Utility".

Applications -> Utilities -> Airport Utility

From there, wait for it to find your router, and then you can administer it from there.

You need to unblock the correct ports on your router.

Look up your router and follow the instructions.

If you "don't know", then don't reply to the post, simple as that.

I havent had any issues, but I'll keep trying to replicate it.

Try starting BZFlag from the terminal, and see if it prints any errors into it after the crash.

You replace the .tga image with a .png image that you create in some photo editing software.

Check it out... don't know if it helps but here :P Then why don't you use your brain and figure out if it's helpful or not? That "article" only contains information about what was fixed or updated in 10.5.3, nothing about any problems arising from the update. So, in the future, think befo...

If someone wants to host a map they will do so.

Just release them in the map releases section, under a viable license.

Then add them in a text editor, it really isn't hard to open up a text editor and type a few lines out. In most situations, it's faster to type it then adding flags with a GUI.

You need to use mono ( http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page ) to compile the program on OS X, since it's a Windows-based application.

I've had this issue for a while too.. Firefox by any chance? It's been happening on OS X and Windows... I stay logged in for about 1-2 hours, but I come back and then I'm logged out. Cleared cache, cookies, everything multiple times. Doesn't appear to be on my end, but instead it appears to be a bug...

You can have one picture that scrolls.

Make one (or two) 1024x64 images and have the numbers 1 to 60 on them (or across both in the case of using two).

Then you can use the same texture for the minutes and seconds column.

That texture is in your data folder.

Windows
C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.<x>\data

OS X
/Applications/BZFlag-2.0.<x>/Contents/Resources/


They're named as red_tank.png, blue_tank.png, etc.

New leagues rarely last. It's not meant to discourage you, that's just how it is. Over the past 3-4 years I've seen about 5-6 leagues started, and they all died within 2 months. There are not enough people interested in joining leagues, and the ones who are already in leagues do not want to switch t...

Code it up if you want it... The game is open source, so people can contribute features and add ons that they want to see used. I don't really believe that our problem with voting is people not knowing how to use it, but that they just don't bother. If they don't care, they won't vote, no matter wha...

That is a problem with your video card drivers. You need to get the newer/correct drivers.

Without additional information such as laptop, model, etc, we can't help you.

Yeah, first of all, cut all the smilies.

It's not coding. It's compiling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

It's taking the human-readable sourcecode and turning it into machine language for the computer to run.

When it's done.

Open source software does not have set deadlines. Although a new release should be out sometime this summer.

Uh, heh.

You need to replace "/path/to/" with the actual location of the file, or program.
