Two more server questions

Post by huw »

1) When I put in 10 Good flags on the bzflag server config generator it will place literally hundreds on the map when I start the server.

2)Do /set variable changes take place straight away?

I tried /set _raintype rain and /set _tankspeed 55 and I noticed no difference

Thanks in advance

Answer to #1: if you mean you are making it +f good{10}, then that explains it. You are putting 10 of every good flag on the map if you do this. To make it less, make your conf like so:

+f SW{4} +f GM{7}

or however many flags you want.

Answer to #2: Yes, set takes place immediately. If it doesnt change, then it means you might need to restart your server. /set tankSpeed should work right away. Also, make sure you are setting it, I've tried to set things before and realized I'm not an admin at the time.

Also, when setting stuff, be sure your setting the right value with the right data type. Don't try to set _tankSpeed to fast. _tankSpeed must be a number.
