... people were coming up with great ideas to keep it running, but no one EXECUTED. Ideas are cheap, anyone can have them but if they (the idea creators) aren't committed enough to implement them themselves they are worthless. The wiki didn't happen because I had the idea, it happened because brlca...

Getting passed it is built it to the OS: Even with the most restrictive setting of "Mac App Store Applications only", you can still force an app to run by right-clicking on it and selecting Open. This will display a warning that lets you override the restriction and run the application. Ag...

Yes, I was guitargeek42, my brother littlelep and I have been playing for years. Maybe (in time; no rush) a new game should be made, but BZFlag should still be running. That way people can play the new game if they want. If not, they play the old BZFlag. Their choice. If the new game IS a success, ...

Thinking isn't the problem... executing is!

Excuse my ignorance, but if this is a "private" server, why should it connect to the list server? Also, If I am the first player to connect, I do so successfully, but if 4 player are already playing than I cannot connect. Private or not... authentication through the list server is still a...

But couldn't the client then change their "time of day" using '+/-" defeating the -synctime ?

why not mute rather than ban if the issue is language ? Because for team play you kinda need to talk... It's a better punishment if you can't talk in a match than not being able to match at all. Seems to me, that you are complaining because you can't match (at times). That I would say that means th...

you see thats what i mean Still irrelevant... as there is no active development happening, a few bug fixes here and there but no real new features. If you would like to see something like this there would have to be people who cared to develop it. That currently is not the case. The "old guard...

So edit the setting that affects the length... the speed is really not all that important, you either are hit or not, how fast is irrelevant.

It seems you want everyone to do a little research for you. Personally, opening up your network to the outside world is probably something you should at least research yourself and ask questions about. If you make a mistake or do not understand what and why you need to do what you are doing, then yo...

Sometimes a range ban is the only option. Range bans are generally a last resort...

Not a BZFlag issue... sounds like you still have spyware on your pc. Try running SuperAntiSpyware Free Edition and MalwareBytes Free Edition on your machine (if it will let you, spyware often will not allow those apps to even start). They can be found here: http://www.superantispyware.com/ http://ww...

Also make sure that you have the latest drivers for the wireless card in your laptop (from the manufacturers web site). If you have access to the access point it is also a good idea to make sure it is running the latest firmware available. Drivers and firmware can play a big role in the quality of y...

Well it was originally posted a year and a half ago... I had no doubt that it wouldn't work anymore. Chrome has advanced through at least 6 versions in that time.

Huh, I've been trying to calculate internet channel length in light-milliseconds, but it' not so easy --- I don't know the length. The straight line distance between me and California is around 10 000 km (20 000 km is 67 ms). But this line goes through Greenland! My usual lag is around 220 for GU C...

I would suggest you go with a classic style map. LouMan's and Spazzy McGee's maps are very eye catching but often times, they aren't very playable so they don't get much popularity on the server list. Just my thought. I would disagree on the playability aspect. Louman maps ruled the list server for...

It's a wiki, fix it if you don't think it is detailed enough.

On all servers? Try the Global Login Not Identifying section here http://wiki.bzflag.org/Common_Support_Issues

Winny is a him, and he left BZFlag for good a couple of years age. I still contact him from time to time be he never plays anymore. Your best bet is to contact the server owner (which may be me). What server is it?

Not really... It is within the license terms and who would really buy it anyway.

The 'Global Login Not Identifying' section

You do NOT know what i ment to do there are Milions of things you can only do by solid wall and F5 through, it is ment to be solid, but if some1 places the teamflag under a a small opening (no T or N or TH flags) you can only reach it with F5 in that case (one of milion cases) That is just called p...

Also be aware that streaming music/video while playing can cause lag and poor network performance depending on your internet connection.
