More Teams

[manny2388]

Hi! My name is Lorenzo and I'm a staff member of BigRock Institute for Computer Graphics in Italy.
It's been quite a decade that we started playing at BZFlag with our students at the school, every classroom joining as a different team. We had very funny times.
Right now we're growing... creating more rooms for our students and need more teams (at least 2 more) than the classic ones (red, green, blue, purple).
I've tried to find a solution in this forum but there's nothing regarding a patch to increase the number of the teams that a player can choose.
Is it possible to create one? With maybe an orange and a brown team?
thank you for your attention.

The change in revision 21419 shows one of the few times the number of teams has ever been changed. Based upon that it looks like only a modest effort would be required to add more teams, including:

• name the new teams in include/global.h
• add new texture image files to the data directory
• define RGB colors in src/common/Team.cxx
• use a unique network protocol version in src/date/buildDate.cxx

It may be possible to include just the existing Hunter (orange) team in regular CTF games with less effort.
