From what I've noticed, it actually takes a very specific approach on the jumper to trigger the glitch. I've hugged the map edge all the way to the red base platform from there, but if I alter my direction of entry on the jumper just slightly, I get "caught". Can be useful sometimes (such ...

High Karate Kitty, Green Manilishi, and PaxVobiscum sit at even level for me. The three of them over many years of brutal back-and-forth slayings really taught me to play and often reminded me that there are tanks out there that are worth being considered more than just "targets". Beyond t...

Yeah, I've really been missing Pax lately - I need somebody else I can smack down with some regularity. :P As for Tex, I actually played against him for about half an hour or so on Badgerking's on christmas eve. Gerbil was on not that long ago, too. Same server. I'm pretty sure I saw grc not too lon...

I agree with Greenie - it already looks very quite capable for playing as is. I'd be interested in trying it out as soon as you get it hosted.

+1 on all counts (keeping 5-shot limit, bringing back rogue geno, and making Grace rogue). Add also making Greenie rogue, too.

Spiralzone disappeared/reappeared/disappeared several times over the past couple of years. Really saddens me, as it was one of my old favorites and it's just never been able to regain solid numbers since the first time it went off the list. An old version of the map is available among the "clas...

It's good to see Spiralzone getting a bit more exposure again, too. Love that map, just need to get more people playing on it...

Or you could close off the cathedral and define all the tank spawn zones as being inside...

Seriously, though, I would just resize the world and put more obstacles on the exterior grounds.

Using the Search function shows that this question has been asked many times on these forums in the past. Looking through those pages shows the answer to be: There are no teamspeak servers for bzflag as a whole. Ask map owners individually if they run one for their maps or other players on the map i...

Well, I use a Saitek ST290, which has a trigger, 4-way hat switch (that little mini-stick on the top of the stick is called a hat switch or "coolie"), and 5 additional fire buttons on the stick (3 by the thumb - numbered 3, 2, and 4 - and one to each side of the hat switch - button 5 on th...

Have you made any changes to your system recently? If it's happening after a couple of hours of good play, and occuring on a range of servers, then you may be experiencing communications errors from an overheat somewhere on your machine or a static buildup in your phone line or cabling.

Just don't tell the polish bicycle cavalry about it.

YES!!!!!!!!! This was the very first map I played on when I started playing BZFlag back in '05 and I've always absolutely loved it. Definitely gonna jump back onto it!!

Once I've gotten a little sleep first...

I'd been contemplating doing a map with a similar mechanic - two teams and only one flag that doesn't belong to either. Best solution I could think of was to put the two teams flags' spawn locations in places that couldn't be accessed at all. Then create a third team, limit the third team to only on...

Heh, good to see you back, lod. You were actually one of the more decent teammates I've ever had on mofo.

Welcome back, Looney! I look forward to killing you muchly again.

how do you join clients I'm guessing you're asking about how to get one client to play with another client. The short answer is: "You don't". Clients aren't designed to share with each other, just with whatever map server you're playing on. If you want multiple clients to be playing toget...

Badgerking's seems to have disappeared off the face of the 'net, again.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I know how you feel, Tora (and I can probably guess which map and player you're referring to ;) ). It's really frustrating to get people like that on any map, and even more frustrating to get bogged down in the senseless excuses they try to use to defend their actions. It's one of the unfortunate co...

I copy and pasted the full URL into my address bar (notice that the automatic link supplied gets cut off at the "ö" in your name) and get a 5x5 all-white PNG. Is that what it's supposed to be?

Well, not to sound egotistical or anything, but, seriously - I AM the best Avatar!

This thread is really pointless. High and low score statistics are kept on every registered player at http://my.bzflag.org . Do a player search, and you can see info on them. Most of the scores in this thread are guesses and impressions. The accuracy of those statistics is debatable. I know of at l...

In other words, you're not really that old. (honestly, you're only a little over a decade older than me).

I'm also rather partial to blue. It makes semi-decent night camo in the HUD on most maps and is sometimes hard to spot on radar.

Other than that, I just also really like the color blue.

depends which television "Set" your talking about, i'm positive the newer models aren't that low - and we're not really talking about Television either, computer games with a 10fps difference can really stand out. 29.97 fps, built from an interlaced screen refresh rate of 59.94 Hz, is the...
