Speaking of football (American), imagine if it were possible to pass a flag to a teammate and not just the center. Also, imagine being able to intercept a passed flag :twisted: On that note, you could also have a two-team style of CTF. Instead of capturing the other team's flag, you try to score by ...

It could be sort of like football. Instead of individual scores for CTF, there would be the team score. When you do away with the individual score, everyone on the team will (or should, anyway) focus on being part of the team to score as a team. So, after a CTF, everyone blows up and starts over aga...

Land of the Lost
I don't know the first thing about map building. I downloaded BZedit and it may as well have been software for Calculus to me. Anyway, I know that tanks and dinosaurs my seem like an oxymoron; however, what would you folks think of a Land of the Lost map? Yeah, I am showing my age as being someone w...

I guess you're right about it being impossible. Either that, or it would be limited to only those with a fast broadband connection (perhaps relying on a server ping to test the conncetion). I would imagine that order make it work, you'd have to be able to download all dynamically linked maps. Even s...

This sounds unrelated... but I thought of this as I was reading this line of discussion. <p>Imagine if servers could be dynamically linked to one another (by owner choice as to whether or not participate). A particular type of warp could warp to another available server insetad of just on the local ...

Cheaters getting me banned
Greetings all, More and more recently, I have been having a hard time logging in to servers. The server messages basically say banned for cheating and reference a variety of callsigns. I don't cheat. I never have. The idea that I am getting denied because of other people's cheating is really getting...

I am not particularly fond of insta-death killings myself. Likewise, I am not fond of spawning with an enemy tank behind me or an enemy tank spawning behind me - especially when I have something like L or GM. Since I do not code... would it be very difficult to include in an algorithm to assist with...

That would be cool. That would also give server owners more ways to have original game play, and players will get to play all sorts of games. ... naturally, the server would only be able to modify settings that a client could recognize. I also imagine that we would want to keep the controls the same...

Well, leaving it up to folks to decide is fair enough; however, I don't think people should change the rules of the server. By that, I mean that if a person wants to ctf even though others have agreed otherwise, then voting that player out doesn't seem cool if the server is a ctf server to begin wit...

People can always join the smaller team. If people take a vote or decide amongst themselves to do anything else, then that's fine. But, if folks want to play CTF on a CTF server, then there should be no reprimand for that. Part of the challenge with that is this: if most people decide not to CTF, sh...

My thought is that a CTF server is exactly that: Capture the Flag. That's the point of the game. If folks want free style, then they should go to a free style server. It's that simple. Others may consider joining the weaker team if the server allows that. My guess is that kind of code to distribute ...

RE: Funniest BZ Flag Moment?
I haven't had a whole lot of moments that I think would be funny to anyone else although I have had a few privately funny moments. One that sticks out was when there was a player with stealth chasing me. I took a wild guess that he might be waiting for me on the other side of a tower, so I shot a fe...

I wasn't necessarily thinking along those lines. I was thinking that the server could randomly send ghost bots after players - maybe one at a time. As for who, I think that could be random. Flag type of the player would only come into play if the player had wings and was up in the air. Perhaps that ...

RE: Rabbit Hunt game suggestion...
I like the idea of rabbit = white, team = red (or oange). The idea of the radar reflecting team color (since the hunters play as a team - more or less) makes since. That would help the rabbit stand out a little.
Still, folks can also help by paying attention to what they are doing.

Wow, DTRemenak, that's virtually getting it straight from the horse's mouth. We had planned to make the number of shots that shield could absorb server-configurable. I like that idea.

Cool... How about this one?
Thanks for the feedback so far. What would you think of a "stove pipe" flag? This would be along the lines of a towering SW or wide laser blast that shoots very high up. That might be cool for getting folks with wings or (with SW property) nailing folks way up in a very tall structure. As ...
