Hi everybody,
I discovered Bz in 1996 on Silicon Graphix computer (Linux).
When i played with and after this year, i played on a map i can't found today..
I put a picture of a plan of this map... If somebody remember which is the name of this map... Give it me !
Sorry for the quality of the picture... It's just from my memory !
Thanks,
Ojoyeux

Re: Searching old Map (1996)
Edit: Added screenshot on 2024-04-18The layout matches Ziggurat perfectly. It was last seen around 2017 and around 2012.
The map was CTF and no team kills with relatively fast tank and shot speeds.
I'll try to upload a screenshot of it soon.

Some of my BZFlag related stuff.
BZList.net Modern HTML5 server stats site.
BZFlag has a cycle every 1-3 years. Activity drops/stops and resumes some time after. It returns to 90% of what it was.
We see late in 2013, the following thread: Why are there only like 30 people playing BZFLAG at one time.
Let's say 2014 starts with 30 players:
With a cycle length of:
3 years: 2017=27 players, 2020=24 players...
2.5 years: mid-2016=27 players, 2019=24 players, mid-2021=22 players.
I think the cycles get shorter as time goes along, but the bigger issue is eventually that activity will not be able to sustain itself in the long run, as nobody waits an hour for people to show up.

OK. Yes if you find a picture of it, it's cool !
Is it possible to reload this map with the actual release of Bz ?

If that map was never released under a license or agreement that allowed it to be hosted, it can only be hosted by the copyright holder of the map.

Looks like the ziggurat map

Re: Searching old Map (1996)
Relating to possible future hosting of Ziggurat. I've attempted to contact the two most recent hosts with regards to hosting Ziggurat. There has been no response.
It seems unlikely that we will see Ziggurat hosted in the future.
