Hi all,

what about an unstealth flag? Lots of players (me inclusive) camp sometimes/often/allways when having ST - could be fun to have an unstealth flag.

What exactly do you mean about an unstealth flag?
Would it allow people who carry the flag to see all the tanks on radar including stealth tanks?

Thanks.

Oh no! A TROJAN has been let into the board! Ack! Isn't there any way to keep out this rabble?!?! LoL. Just kidding. Welcome to the board Trojan.


I think that the "Seer" flag did that, but what ever happened to it???

Hey widowmaker,

right - the tank with the unstealth flag can see stealthers on radar, too.

Spiff: The Seer flag and the other 5 flags added to 1.8 were, well, part of BZFlag 1.8, which has been discontinued.

I believe there are plans to reimplement them in the 1.7 branch, when protocol is broken.

The (semi)official definition of Seer was "See CL, ST, MQ [that's masquerade, one of the other new flags] as normal"

Cool, sounds very good.

Ahh.. I thought so, but I wasn't sure. I remember someone saying that Tim was running One.bzflag.org with the new flags (before 1.8 was cancelled). Anyway.. I'll be glad to see the new flags in the next release!

king.bzflag.org is still running 1.8, but I am unaware of anywhere you can download a working client for windows (CVS does not compile on Win, it might on linux). Besides, it is very buggy. Like you, I'd just as soon wait for the next protocol-breaking release.

Ohhhh...... that's right.. king.bzflag.org.. hehe. I like the idea of the Seer flag... and Burrow.. oh, and "No Jumping".
