Note: no acceleration limit has been set. Players using "mouse
enhancements" may cause problems on this server due to very high
acceleration rates which are not handled well by dead reckoning
algorithms. To eliminate this warning, set the -a switch in your
configuration. '-a 50 38' is recommended for standard-speed servers.
Higher speed servers will need higher values for -a in order to not
affect gameplay. '-a 0 0' may be used to shut this message up without
affecting any players, including those using "mouse enhancements".

The first "problem" isn't a problem. If you want to just ignore that note, add -a 0 0 to your config. For the second thing, shut down the other server you are running. The error is pretty descriptive.....

And maybe try:

Code: Select all

killall bzfs

to make sure that you're not running another bzfs on the same port.

...or you could just select another port to run bzfs on .

...or you could just select another port to run bzfs on .

Or you could, you know, learn the proper way of doing something, instead of finding a lame workaround.
