bzfs modification - questions
Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2018 5:54 pm
(1) Could I modify bzfs to make it not counting autopilot robots then they can be allowed on public servers (List Server)? I was told by developers time ago I could do modifications and host but I am not sure this kind of modification would be allowed.
To not post code, it would not count them at the same exact point it doesn't count solo robots, by detecting callsigns starting with 'robot'.
I think I would use a clear message into the introduction to the server like this: '*** IMPORTANT: this server is modified to allow autopilot robots publically. In case of doubts, talk to BZFlag admins. ***'
(2) In affirmative case, should I modify BZ_PROTO_VERSION in src/date/buildDate.cxx? Would players with standard BZ_PROTO_VERSION be able to see and join my server?
(3) Could I add '*Robots*' (or '*R*') on the title of the server and, then, clarify it into the intro message like '*Server w/Robots* (*)' with this asterisk referencing to the 'IMPORTANT' message stated above?
Thanks.
