Hi
I'm working on a map and would like to include couple turrets in there. Following the "readme" file from the plug-in this was created:

options
-loadplugin pass\to\plugin\Turret,1
end

#--Turrets---------------------------------------

turretWeapon
name turret1
position 267.43 267.43 156
type MG
lifetime 1
frequency 1
tiltExtent 0 90
angleExtent 0 360
end

turretZone
name zone
position 267.43 267.43 156.59
size 4 4 1
rotaton 45
addWeapon turret1
end

box
name blue_turret
position 267.43 267.43 156.9
size 4 4 0.9
matref blue_team_glass
shootthrough
end
box
name red_turret
position -267.43 -267.43 156.9
size 4 4 0.9
matref red_team_glass
shootthrough
end

turretEjector
position -6 0 0
size 3 3 1
addZone zone
end

(Where "pass\to\plugin" is location of file) Now the map will not load, and an error saying "Unknown object 'turretWeapon'" is displayed. What is causing that?

Try loading the plugin outside of the world file (and possibly before the -world option in the configuration - that part might not matter, though).

Moved the whole "options" block before "world" block and moved -loadplugin to be the first thing, still same error. What do you mean "outside of the world"? Through a different text file that basically tells the program what to start when? Or as a stand-alone program that BZFlag can use as needed?

Have it as a argument when you start bzfs. instead of remove the line in your world file that loads the plugin, then start it like this:
