Long shots on radar
Can someone, please, tell me where is (or how is called) in the BZFlag configiguration the line that is used to set the long shots on the radar? I only need:
if is on the line 100;36;25;11 etc...
if is called linear_shot_radar or something like that...
Thanks
P.S. is nothing to do with "What about your Operating System" but I don't want to open a new topic for a stupid thing like that....

Yes you do! Otherwise an admin (like me) must waste their time splitting the topic and editing the title for you. Please read the FAQs...Fox in the Fog wrote: P.S. is nothing to do with "What about your Operating System" but I don't want to open a new topic for a stupid thing like that....

Strg+F -> "linedradarshots" -> ENTER -> Done.

Strg+F will open a search box that allows you to search for certain text pasages in most text editors.

Re: Long shots on radar
Yes, I understand now, I have find the line on the BZFlag configuration that is called linedradarshots, and I have also changed the 2 to 40 and I have saved.... But when I open BZFlag the shots are normal.... Why?

Re: Long shots on radar
I don't understand yet, because I have found the line called "linedradarshots" and was set on 2... I have changed to 40 and I have saved the configuration, but on BZFlag the shots are like before. Why?

Please post a copy of your config (attach it to a message) so we can help you figure out what is going wrong. Remove your password from the file first.

Re: Long shots on radar
From your configuration file:
looks like you didn't save your changes.
Code: Select all
set linedradarshots 2
Re: Long shots on radar
Your conf still says "set linedradarshots 2"
Here is the order you should edit your conf in:
Close BZFlag.
Open the conf.
Edit the conf.
Save the conf.
Open BZFlag.
You can not edit the conf while bzflag is open because it just overwrites it when it quits. Changes take effect on restart only.
If you want to change something in game, do /localset linedradarshots 40

Re: Long shots on radar
You can also bind a key to toggle between lengths.
That's what I have and it's really useful
Code: Select all
bind A down "toggle linedradarshots 10 60"

Re: Long shots on radar
Under what circumstances do you find the short lines more useful, Bambino? I have mine fixed at 40, which works well except for situations with tight ricochet. But even those situations are usually too short-lived to make it worthwhile to adjust in real time.
Re: Long shots on radar
I used to play on Castle Warfare and there is a smaller set world size there so the 60 shot lines I normally have are to larger for the map (almost longer than the map) so I bound it to a key toggle to make it easier. It was starting to give me a headache.Bullet Catcher wrote:Under what circumstances do you find the short lines more useful, Bambino?
