here are the screenies, it will be done soon, just working out some bugs with my teleporters, its also missing the whirlpools because i am still building them in wings 3d and trying to make them fit correctly into the map http://photobucket.com/albums/y185/Sir_Pants/ should be done within the next w...

lol np i have imageshack to but i was to lazy to go look for my password....

hmmm i don't think that is possible it might be but i dont think so

in the map file your pyramid exists like this

pyramid
size x x x
position 0 0 0
rotation 90
end

change rotation for w/e you want

is it possible to rotate a teleporter so its flat on the ground? so instead of it beings like this

go download bzedit from the bzflag project on sourceforge, then read the mapmaking section of the wiki of the main page, piece of advice, download someones map, make sure its simple then run it in bzedit and explore

suggestion add the "options" part in the map file and make the map size smaller to about 200 i think, at least thats what the pictures look like it might be, then it would truely be mini

ok so ive got the obj file made but after i convert to bzw file it wont load all the stuff, here are the files and a pic of the errors

it still came up with those errors maybe its because my object is a hollowed out box with cylinder in it?

when i convert my obj file to .bzw and try to run it in bzfs i get non-convex mesh face, invalid mesh face, what does that mean?

would there happen to be any good place to get a guide on how to make objects, i've explored wings but im still not getting what exactly to do

yea alright, ill post screenies and a preview of it in the next coupla days, im a lil bogged down with hw at the moment

it would be cool, and it might be possible, im not sure if shootin can be taken off though and to be able to use thief flag, maybe some experimentation and it would work

lol alright

well what if it still logs it but just clears the box of spamming, so for instance all convos would be logged in a file or something while in the game one can clear the chat box from spammers

yea that is a way, im making hundreds of walls about 1x10x15 and im gonna give them textures of water, then the outside will have water and and i will add bases and such as i go along, that way i dont have to worry about a flag problem

how would i make a round hole in a box?

i think im being clear, i dont want the flag to go to stay on a certain building if it is dropped there by a player

lol im in the process of creating a rough draft of a map thats gonna be underwater as you would put it

how does one make it so a team flag doesnt spawn on a certain object?

hmmm ok ill work on that, the update should be out by tonight then, thanks for the info

uh what do you mean supposed to be able to? its a pool, you go in you die i think

just need someone to host it now.... any volunteers?

ALL BOW DOWN TO MASTER LOUMAN the GREAT!!! *bows until nose is touching floor, yea im that flexible (not)*
