A few questions on map/server

[knoxkorner]

1. How do you get bots?


2. How do you create one sided mesh?


3. how do you figure out if you use laser as a weapon in a map how do you know the rotation (summary: How do you know rotation for lasers?)

4. How do you get normal bullets as a weapon?


5. What are the basic colors (Red Green Purple blue(color 0 0 0))


6. can you add color line to anything? (box position 0 0 0 size 1 1 1 rotation 0 color 0 5 5)

1.) To get bots you must (if you use windows) go to the desktop icon, then right mouse button, and then "properties" then you will see the path to bz, and after this path, u must write: "-solo 5" the number is how many bots you will have.

Here my path with solo: "C:\Programme\BZFlag2.0.8\bzflag.exe -solo 5"

2.) One sided mesh??
I really dont know what you really mean with it, but here is the code of the mesh:

Code: Select all

meshbox
	position 0 0 0
	size 10 10 5
        top matref norm	
        outside matref red
end

3.) Hmm, you can take a orientation by the boxes, i do it ever

4.) To get normal bullets as a weapon, you can use "US", here the code:

Code: Select all

weapon
  type US
  position 0 0 32
  rotation 0
  initdelay 15
  delay 6
end

5.) Here the colors, you can also use "texture blue_tank" or red_tank etc. :

Code: Select all

material
  name red
  diffuse 1 0 0 1
  addtexture boxwall
end

material
  name green
  diffuse 0 1 0 1
  addtexture boxwall
end

material
  name blue
  diffuse 0 0 1 1
  addtexture boxwall
end

material
  name purple
  diffuse 1 0 1 1
  addtexture boxwall
end

6.) Yes you can

Another thing: 7.How do you enter areas that kill you? (louman's maps sometimes + Viper



One more thing: Does bzedit understand color lines?

[Davy Jones]

Serverside plugins, look at the plugin-releases and premade objects etc. search the forum.

What they do is kill if if you enter a specific area

[knoxkorner]

I have prop with color this is exactly what it looks like:

Code: Select all

# World built with bzedit32 world class, available at
# http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/bzflag

box
name Box
	position 0 0 0
	rotation 0
	size 100 100 100
      color 1 0 1 1
end

How do i CREATE one?

[Davy Jones]

add it in your map file...

[Zelgadis]

nah, not right jones....

To add a kill area, you need a meshbox and a physic driver.

Code: Select all

physics
  name klarea
  death Tanks can't swim :P
end

meshbox 
   position 0 0 0 
   size 10 10 5 
   phydrv klarea
   matref water
end

[Zelgadis]

huh, sry forgot material

Code: Select all

physics 
  name klarea 
  death Tanks can't swim :P 
end


material
  name water
  diffuse 0.6 0.35 0.95 1
  addtexture telelink
    texmat slide
    notexalpha
end 

meshbox 
   position 0 0 0 
   size 10 10 5 
   phydrv klarea 
   matref water 
end

[Davy Jones]

that's what i meant...

[Winny]

that's what i meant...

A plugin is a touch different then a physics driver, oh enlightening one.

[CannonBallGuy]

Now now, Win XP, don't exaggerate.
