You are registered since August 30.

You simply have to put your callsign (gracef) and password into bzflag's "Join Game" screen.

Make sure you typed in your callsign and password correctly in the "Join Game" screen. Try erasing them and typing them in again.

lol did that. I can get into some places like the badger place, but others like laser sniping and planet mofo it doesnt.

hmm...

Hmm, that's odd.
Test logging out of this forum, then logging in again, to make sure your password is right.

Make sure you are entering "gracef" as your callsign. Also, make sure you enter your forum password (the one you use to login to these forums) as your password.

Possibly your callsign is locally registered at some servers. Try using /identify (with your old password that you /register-ed with), then /deregister. Don't try this if you never have typed /register at the server in question.

Or, contact an admin on the server in question and ask them to either deregister you, or add you to the LOCAL.GLOBAL group...that way you don't need to identify.

It's possible you may have a proxy preventing you from IDing within BZFlag. Open this file in Notepad (or any other text editor):

Code: Select all

My Documents\My BZFlag Files\2.0\config.cfg

Go down to this line after opening config.cfg:

Code: Select all

#set list http://my.BZFlag.org/db/

Now change it to this:

Code: Select all

set list http://my.BZFlag.org:81/db/

If it's not a proxy problem this will do nothing, but if it is, it will bypass it.

Good luck!

bad token means that you didn't get a token from the list server, in order to get a token you have to do "find server" before you log in. If you type in servers You'll get a bad token.

Wow. Since when was that? I didn't have any problem with Global when I just plainly connected. Of course, I connected to the server where I left off last time, so I didn't really type it in.

Grace F · Post by **Grace F** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:23 am

no but see i dont type in the servers. I pick one from the list.

But even still it says *Global login rejected, Bad token*

what OS are you on?

Hi all! I registered today and am having basically the same problem. I logged in and activated my forum account with no problem, and I am definitely using the right password from within BZFlag. I've even changed my password to see if special characters were a problem. But when I connect, I get a minus symbol next to my name, and the message "Global login rejected, bad token" appears, followed by "This callsign is registered", and then the usual blurb about how I need to register for this server. Oh, and sometimes "You must identify yourself before playing". Any ideas anyone?

Ozor Mox · Post by **Ozor Mox** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:07 pm

Aha! A Meteorite's suggestion about the set list line in the config.cfg file has solved the problem for me, I now get "Login approved" and a plus symbol next to my name!

Gracef, may I suggest checking you definitely did that right, as my problem was identical to yours.

Ta for the post Meteorite!

GMMan · Post by **GMMan** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:06 pm

Maybe you didn't activate your BZFlag callsign? It might do something...

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 11:51 pm

Yes, the bad token is most often a sign that you are behind some sort of caching proxy server that screws up our token from the list server.

changing the list to port 81 usualy fixes the problem, as most proxy servers only cache port 80.

Quick question...when I couldn't get it to work, I used the /register and /identify commands to see if those would work, by entering my password in. I read a post on here afterwards that those are no longer used because admins can clearly see passwords entered that way. Basically, is it a good idea to change the password now that I've done that?

Grace F · Post by **Grace F** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 4:37 am

OMG!!!!! YES YES YES OH YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO it worked w00t!!!

Thx everyone for your suggestions!
