Title says it all: I want the tank-size on radar which was used in 1.10.X... these little dots in 2.o.0 are too small to see clearly if somebody jumps or if he is on a bit higher level.
Is there a way to increase the tank-size on radar?

(I know where my config-file is located but I couldn't find the right line to change the size.)

HI,

bind 2 down "set displayRadarRange 0.35"

0.35 - its close to the radar tank size on 1.10.X.

If im not mistaken.

thats the radar zooming, that will also effect how close other things you can see are. I think (do you?) just want the tanks on the radar to be bigger?

Exactly. But what rufi said works quite well.

For any builds after Jan19, 2005:

"set radarTankPixels 2.0" (2 is the default)

How do I identify a build which has been built after Jan19, 2005? I compiled from the source on Linux...

To check when your game was released, look at the game version. The game version is the very first line in the text window when you start up the game. It looks like the attached file.

i.e. My BZFlag was compiled on Jan 17 of 2005. It's read like this: BZFlag2.0.0yyyymmdd-(release type)-(compiler)

As I am too a little challenged in the see-those-tiny-tiny-radar-blips area ,
I was very satisfied with a

set radarTankPixels 3.0

setting in my config file.

That only works if you download binary packages, Saturos allready said he builds from source.

Wenn you found out how to make the dots bigger in radar, don't complain about shots going through
