Tank Type Selection
Just a small idea, but would it be possible to add a tank selection feature to BZ 1.**.**?
Like at the server entry menu, there would b an option that lets you select different kinds of tanks.
All tanks would have the same spechs, but b diff shapes and colors and things like that.
Just an idea...

allowing difrent models has been talked about there are some issues that would need to be resolved, like how it woudl work with the various flags that change tank color, like colorblind and masqureade, as tank shape would need to be taken into account. It probably won't be done in this next release, or anytime real soon.

I rather would see custom engine sounds per tank. Lets say, there are 20 to 30 or so distinctly different engine sounds to select from in a default BZFlag setup. Then, a player could choose a sound and add it to his 'default profile' or something.
The battle starts.
You can now hear which player is which Wouldn't that be great? Add the ears to the BZFlag spectrum. A great experience!

ok, third mode in BZ, i dunno "every man for himself" or something in it, no flags, customizable tanks, every man for himself (FFA with no teams), you could upload graphics logo's onto your tank by selecting a file and bzflag would compress it (btw image file) to be the right size and paste it on your tank, you would see your tank rotating around in 3d while you build it. oh and definetly new screen and you could save the tanks as different names and stuff. (i will stop before i get into putting accounts on BZ )

wait... upload an image to BZFlag then it would compress it and put it on your tank???? That sounds hard and requiring a lot of utilities! From what I understand, you'd need a program to resize the image built into BZFlag, and where would the image go on the tank?
I think too many hours and MB's.
