I take it you're on Linux if you just type bzflag and not bzflag.exe, am I correct?

Try

Code: Select all

bzflag -solo 10 -directory /usr/share/games/bzflag/

where /usr/share/games/bzflag/ is the path to your bzflag data directory.

i have windows, why do u all of a sudden have 2 type the directory?

[RPG]

You always had to type the directory. Have you been Linux addicted? You also have to type the file extension, such as bzflag.exe

hmm o well

Well, I learned something new today.

You have to be in the correct directory (like c:\program files\bzflag2.0.2\) to prevent having to type -directory. Just open the command prompt, and type this:
cd \program files\bzflag2.0.2
and then
bzflag -solo 10

how do you open the command prompt?

how do you open the command prompt?

Start --> Run --> "cmd.exe" --> [OK]

[Supertanker]

A couple of other ways: Start/Programs/accesories/command promp

Create a shortcut and edit the properties so it reads:

"c:\path\to\bzflag\bla.bla.bla\bzflag.exe" - solo 787845

or whatever amound you want to play with.

P.S. Try not to go over 49 bots. The game crashes even with player limits at 200.
