What operating system are you running?
What version of BZFlag are you using?
You can get the latest version of BZFlag (1.7g0) at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bzflag
Just install the download (for Windows, it's self extracting).

Well first you need to get the source code.

You need to get a cvs client for your operating system, then pull down the latest using

cvs co -r v1_7 bzflag

Next get the patch your interested in,

and patch the source code like this

patch -p0 -i {path to patch file} -d {path to source code}

Then you need to compile the code

I'd recommend cygwin if you are using windows, it allows you decent enough control over cvs and patching (patch) without having to go through a whole mess to get the utilities you need.

Also tortoise cvs http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ for an easy way to use cvs

And for me at least it seems to work with patch -p1 not p0
